While I was strolling the viewing gallery, looking at the airplanes, on the other side, I came across a very weary woman. She covered herself up to her head with her jacket, obviously sleeping off her tiredness. She could have chosen a less conspicuous spot, though.
Spot the sleeping lady.
The carpet down there must be very comfortable. Or maybe she just doesn’t care who sees her. Such a wide open and empty place. Perhaps the airport authorities could provide lounge chairs and tables there. Such a waste of space.
I’m a big fan of any major sporting event and the Olympics is just one of them, especially so since there’s a dearth of football in the close season right now. I’m looking forward to the start of the Beijing games, especially the track and field, swimming and diving events.
8 more days to the start! Hope that foul air in Beijing clears up a bit.
It has lasers! All lasers!! Lights, multi-coloured lights! Did I say …. LASERS??
In Radiohead’s new video for “House of Cards”, no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data.

OK, so I clicked on the link and came to this site. Oh how I regretted it!
Stop it, Ross. Stop it!! STOP!!!!!!!!
If you have a phobia about men with lots of facial hair kissing you, I suggest you don’t click on the link. And no, it’s not David Schwimmer, a.k.a Ross from Friends. But it’s fast become a viral marketing campaign by Converse.
This blogger is swimming in a relentless tide of headless dogs and other weird creatures that is Plurk. Will be back as soon as he’s stopped being dizzy.
Well, what can I say about my favourite browser? I’m excited about the release of the final version of Firefox 3. I’ve been using the beta version for ages now, and the release of Firefox 3 is set for June (exact date not known yet).
In conjunction with this highly anticipated event, a world record breaking attempt is being held on that day for the most number of downloads in a single 24 hour period. Sounds like fun! I’ll definitely be downloading it as soon as it’s released.
Dear people of the local blogging scene, I never expected this, but our friendly burger-monster, Mr Malique, has accepted my Burger King “super special order challenge”, whereby he will go to a Burger King outlet of his choosing and attempt to prove Burger King’s promise that customers can “have it our way” by ordering a Whopper with cheese and SIXTY (60!!) slices of bacon (as a result of this post and his comments).
I want proof, dude!
Snap a picture or better still, get a Pingster to take a video of you ordering that special burger. Prize? No money, just a little fame (or infamy!).
How long does it take to get a million blogs to be listed? Hmmm …. 3 months? Maybe less?
According to the Million Blog List, there are roughly 70 million blogs in existence. The list that started just 4 days ago on 10th April is now about 200 blogs long. I’m no. 195.
“Hip Malay dad Moby – no, not the space travel-loving vegan musician – spins entertaining anecdotes about the lives of his sons: a two-year-old anarchist, nonconformist nicknamed Toddler Giant, and his five-month-old brother Baby Giant, affectionately called the Little Tornado. The blog contains engaging pictures of the adorable brothers, with a link to the Union of Bambinos, a gang of 21 (at last count), of which the Toddler Giant is the head honcho.”
Bah!!
Visitors to the current TMBCG will be greatly disappointed. Muahahahahah!!
It’s 3.28am. I’ve just gotten my internet connection back after it went down inexplicably and I spent nearly an hour trying to figure out what went wrong. Wires were unplugged, re-plugged, PC started and re-started but to no avail. Switched everything off and went for a smoke and when all the lights on the front panel of my cable modem shined in all their brilliance when I came back, I was a happy camper again.
I have an internet connection again!!
I can’t imagine life without it. It’s so frustrating when you have a downed network connection. I felt like tearing my hair out while I was disconnected.
Are you an internet addict too? Can you go a day without being connected to the world? I can’t. Just can’t!
Singaporeans have a knack of being economical in our language. Why say “What is the time now?” when you can say “Now what time?”. Same goes for this:
No, the fire doesn’t need an intercom to burn and I doubt it minds sharing the intercom with others. It just means that one is to use the intercom to call for help in case of an emergency like a fire.
See? Economical! Instead of “Intercom - to be used in the event of a fire”, just say “Intercom for fire use only”.
It gets really windy during the months of January and February around our estate. What better way to enjoy the strong sea breeze than for one of the residents’ committees to organize a Kite Day. We came home from our morning trip to Parkway Parade (which has a horrible car park, I might add!) a little too tired and the weather a little too hot, so we were contented to watch the event from our kitchen window.
In any case, the kids weren’t really interested in kites, especially Ayeed who was more interested in watching the road below instead of the kites in the sky. He kept going “bussss, bussss!”, only occasionally looking up at the kites. It was the same thing when we went to the airport. Taxis were more his thing than the airplanes.
You can tell what a desolate place Punggol is. Still very much under-developed after all these years.
You know how some products have odd taglines for their products? I was at the pharmacy the other day when I came across this product:
It’s supposed to be some kind of aid for breathlessness. The tagline, which read “for anyone who breathes” seems weird, doesn’t it? I mean, the manufacturer might as well say it’s “for everybody”, because anyone who breathes is like …. everyone. Who is alive, that is. Because it’ll be stupid to market a product to someone who does not breathe, ie. dead, wouldn’t it?
After the upgrade, which broke my blog (again!) by the way, it’s time for a fresh start. I seem to do that all the time whenever something goes wrong. I’m done with upgrades. Maybe I’m done with this blog altogether! We’ll see ….
While we were at the airport I saw this recycling station and a directional sign for the nearest restroom above it on the glass panel. I don’t know …. somehow the placement of the restroom sign above the recycling station conjures images of NEWater, you know, where they recycle pee and turn it into drinking water? Hmmm ….
