Where is the Singapore i used to see ?

The most recent talk in Singapore.

‘Ah Lian’ vs auntie clash in MRT quarrel. 

The 'Ah Lian' give up the seat, the Auntie keep nagging.

Someone posted on Facebook.
I name this the KNN Uncle.
After that i realized this video might be of long time ago.


Sometimes, we give up seat, we hold the lift door, or the door for people. The person receiving it, does not say Thank You, or smile back. It becomes a situation that i must do that task for you. 

Was it due to the education... we forgot our very basic morale education ?

Hit the top prize

It was a busy and stressful work week.

I was dragging myself to work, on a hot Friday morning.

I bumped into my neighbour (staying opposite me.), and we chatted a bit, before wishing a Good Day at work, to each other.

As usual, as normal, as per scheduled, i took the same route, to work.

This time, it was different.

While walking out of the void deck, someone threw a plastic pail down.
It landed about 5 steps away from me.

I shouted "wah" , ran out, and stood there looking up the block. I dont know who did it.

It became the first tweet of the day on my Twitter.

Wah piang eh! Someone throw down a plastic pail down my void deck. I was just 5 steps away.

If i wasn't chatting with my neighbour, the pail would have hit my head.
Although it was a rather small pail, the impact would still be there.

And some news article about killer litters.

The hot weather..

It has been rather hot and humid for a few days, in Singapore.

People started falling sick. (My father was one of them,who fell sick.)

The surrounding been too hot, we hide in the super cold air conditioned office, and there is high chance of falling sick.



I'm so hot.. Nan neomu yeppeoyo.... *clap clap*

Even my cute hamster, fainted. (HAHA!)

The strange Uncle

The strange Uncle.

The other day, i was in a toilet cubicle, the next cubicle uncle beside me, was swearing and cursing over his phone (while doing his business.)

He was scolding, and saying or rather complaining to his friend over the phone.


Funny thing, he was even resting his feet on his slippers. And caught by my mobile camera.

I know i am rather bad to take his picture.

I am thinking, will i behave like him, 20 yeas later....
Or am i already behaving like that already....

Hmm ... Hmm ...

Happy Birthday !

Happy Birthday !

No to me, but to my army friend's cute cute daughter, Alivia!
It was her one year old birthday, and a nice party was being organized by her dear parents..!

The couple went along to book a ball room in a club, and a few of us went a little early to help him out with the decorations.. and running around. (of course eating the buffet.)

It was more of a "kids gathering".

There was ballon sculpting, and face painting. Somehow, well liked by the kids that day.

I enjoyed helping out, and watching the Toy Story 3 on the projector, which we played. =P



Uncle Hong Wei, wish you happy always, and be good to your parents in future ok? =)

Polite, or Pushy ?

Hello all, when you go shopping, do you like the Sales Assistants to follow or service you ?

Yes, we enter the shop, they greeted us, this i accept.

It becomes too pushy, when they follow you behind like a shadow.

For example :
I walk into a male clothing shop.

"Hi, Good afternoon." The pretty lady will greet.
"Hello.." is my usual reply, and walks around the shop.

Next she will start saying, this and that having discounts..
"Oh.. ok, thank you." Will be my reply.

Continues walking around. At this point, usually the lady will shadow you.
"This one is having  xx% discounts..." and smiles sweetly.
"Oh, ok.." My reply again, and continue looking around.

Continue shadowing you...
"This looks good on you.." she will say.
"Oh, really??" I will reply her.

I will then walk out of the shop. This is due to me, not liking someone to shadow me around.

The normal reaction from the lady will be giving a "I don't care" face to you.

Such "pushy" sales are being encountered when i visited jewellery shops. They push the expensive items, and push you to buy. They show you the "Oh, you just can't afford to buy" kind of face. (Not even a thank you as i walk out the shop.)

Call me bad attitude, i will usually walk out of the shop.  I got the money i also don't want to buy from you. I want to spend my money, happily. (BLEH!)

Do you like someone "shadow-ing" you when you are shopping? 

R.I.P. Donna Summer

Another star bid us goodbye.

R.I.P. Donna Summer.

As according to this Article, Donna Summer died, aged 63 after a battle with cancer, on 17 May 2012.

Michael, Whitney, Donna. =(

Donna, you forever Hot Stuff !!

The old one don't go, the new won't come.

Chinese has a saying : 旧的不去，新的不会来。
My old translation : The old one don't go, the new won't come.


And with this i start my story.

Few months back, i was thinking to myself, i needed a new pair of spectacle. The previous one had some scratches on the lens, and the colour of the frame coming off.

And on one fine weekend, on a lazy Sunday, with the super nice weather, i took a nice nap on my comfortable bed.

I placed the spectacle on the floor beside my bed, and napped.

After an hour, upon waking up, i took the spectacle from the floor, and without realizing the frame was being caught onto some plastic bag handle on the floor, i gave it a tough pull.

*OUCH* the spectacle shouted.

The frame broke. =(

Luckily for me, i had a spare one, that i wore for my running exercise.

With money spent, i got myself another new pair. (Yeah!)

旧的不去，新的不会来。
