Here’s an interesting finding. As I was looking up for a piece of news in Singapore, Google returned the following results, take a look at the 4th one that leads to asiaone.com, notice the text that says: “This site may harm your computer”.
Intrigued, I clicked on the link just to see what might happen. As expected, I got the further warning from Google.
I can understand there are people out there who are afraid of dogs. Bigger dogs yes, but, a Shih Tzu?! They’ve gotta be kidding me!
I’m just in the mood for blogging.
I dropped by the neighborhood police post in Bukit Batok to update the address on my ID (yea I moved to Bukit Batok).
While the officer was processing my request, an uncle walked in to report his bicycle got stolen. The officer asked how did it happen. That uncle said he left his bicycle in front of his mother’s house, unlock, while picking up dinner, for “just” half an hour.
Then the officer asked if he has any receipt. Uncle said no, he bought the bike long time already. Then the officer asked if he can describe the model of the bike. Uncle gave him a blank look. Then the officer asked him to wait as he was halfway attending my request.
Then a young lady walked in to report her stolen backpack, that has a laptop, and two books that were borrowed from the library. Obviously a standard response, the officer asked how did it happen. The lady said she left it on the table in McDonald’s, then walked to the counter to order her dinner. When she came back later, the bag was gone. Again, the officer ask if she has the receipt. She said: should be. The officer told her to wait her turn.
Then my ID is fixed, and I managed to walk out from the police post without bursting into hysterical laugher.
What an interesting encounter of inDUHviduals.
I started blogging since 2000. Sometimes I amused myself when I looked back at what I had written in the past. Out of fun, I decided to bring back some of those old posts for your viewing pleasure. And this particularly is (shamelessly) my all time favorite.
Some background before you read on. In my earlier years of using the internet, I spent a lot of time hanging out on IRC chatrooms (I bet most of you did that too), some times I came across nice people whom I can chat with all night, yet some times, I came across losers like the following one. This guy is such a big loser I had decided to blog about it. But of course, I don’t do this all of the time (unless the person is as lame as this one), otherwise I’m still a safe person to chat with ;) Enjoy the rest of the story…
A friend text’ed this to me, it’s so meaningful I had to blog it!
Never argue with idiots. First they bring you to their level and then beat you with their experience!
My brother forwarded this to me, I thought it was really cool. Since I’m not very much an email-forwarding person, I suppose I could share this with more people by publishing it here. Have fun! (For me, I saw her spinning clockwise at first, after practicing hard, I could see her spinning the other way round too!)
Do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise? If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa. Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

In the beginning, it was inefficient to communicate through mails, human said, let there be a better tool, the phone was invented.
The old phones couldn’t show who’s calling, human said, let there be display of caller’s identity, so the Caller-ID was introduced, and you need to pay five bucks to use it.
When realized more and more of their calls got rejected, human said, let there be non-display of caller’s identity, so the Caller-Non ID was introduced, and you have to pay another five bucks to use it.
Yes, it’s so cliche to use that for the title of my very first post. I’m not even sure how did that “hello world” thing come by, I just know it’s something almost every programmer would type whenever they test out a new computer program.
So, hello world, again!
Why “again”? Because this is not the first time I blog, and this blog isn’t all that new. I started to blog since 1999, which was a while before I moved to Singapore. During that time this was supposed to be a “what’s new” thing in my old personal site, slowly it evolved into a journal kind of thing (the word “blog” wasn’t even invented then!) and I had been blogging since then.
But I never got to become a famous blogger, probably because I never blogged about sex, politics, and how to make a billion dollars just by telling people how they can make a million dollars by blogging. But once I mentioned “10-minute haircut” in my blog, the very next moment it became the highest referred keyword. When people google for “10-minute haircut”, my blog came up first. Which was like, whoa! What a small success! But then again, I never became a famous blogger.
Maybe I will start to blog about sex, politics, and how to make a billion dollars just by telling people how they can make a million dollars by blogging; and to make it even better, I might also upload the video of numbskull dancing in yellow underwear, and my nude shots (if I ever undergo sex-change). I’m sure I will have better chances of becoming a famous blogger soon! Man, I’m excited already!…
… Now, I forgot what is it I was supposed to blog today…
