How do you view your own country?

When you think about your own country, do you defend it?
Or do you criticize it?

I criticize it when people say how nice it is....
I defend it when people (especially foreigners) say how bad it is....

Tin Pei Ling goes searching 7 stories to search for high-rise littering culprit.
You know, I would like to give her credit for doing her best to help residents.

It is good to see them finally cramping down...

Hope she catch them red-handed.

In the article, there is another mention of another... MP in action.

Last week, the Chinese evening daily Lianhe Wanbao reported that residents had complained of 'diapers' being frequently found at the foot of Blk 444 at Tampines Street 42. The final straw came when their MP, Mr Baey Yam Keng recovered a diaper that was still 'warm', prompting him to search over 12 floors to catch the diaper-throwing culprit.

uhm, it is still 'warm'? hahaha i am really curious how they search for the culprit, do they go household by household and ask if they have a baby, and if so, has it shitted recently?

Jokes aside, keep up the pressure. 

Cannot stand these inconsiderate buggers.

My Proposal

[Latest update with video:- His Proposal, Her Surprise, Our Love]

It started with a ring. A diamond ring.
And a lone trip to an overseas country, to surprise my girlfriend who is having her holidays with the girls...

Waiting at the airport, alone. I really hate flying alone... Zzzz.

After a long journey from the airport, to the shop, then carrying the huge cumbersome, bulky mascot uniform, and sneaking into the same hotel as my gf, with great help from her friends who sneak SMS to me whenever they returns to the hotel....
I didnt' take photos of the mascot shops, nor the journey, because it was really hot trying to find the place. Even taxi drivers have difficulties finding the road, and the hotel. I did not realize that so many taxi drivers don't know where is "Platinum Mall".

Finally with the mascot costumes safely in my hotel room, and me dying of hunger... I sneaked out to bring back some food and drinks.

Coconut drink, orange juice, some cockles, dunno-what meat, and barbecued squids, sausages and meatballs.....
This was my first meal of the day. The squids, the meat omg, i can spend whole day eating it.
Actually I spent almost the whole day eating these food and hiding in my hotel room, and waiting for the SMS from my gf's friends....

I also tried to wear the mascot on my own, and realized, I can't do it on my own. So in the end, I had to seek more help...

Finally the SMS arrived, and I had seek the hotel receptionist, the bellboy to help me in wearing the uniform.
Plus 1 more receptionist to take photos / videos for me.

Not forgetting the ring.
To be hidden in the Tiger's paws.

Almost done with the paws. Yes there are other tourists giggling at the background.

Yup, I am done, petting my own face to make sure my whiskies are tidy.

Acting nonchalant.... I am just a statue in the hotel.

Oooo the girlfriend appears. And I dash out to socialize with these... tourists.

She walks away with her friends, I must try and stop her for a photoshoot.

Hi there! Would you want to take a photo with a cute tiger?

And all her friends left us alone to take photos...

She started to be suspicious and asked her friends why no one wants to take photos with the tiger.

So a good friend obliged to tone down her suspicions...

Tada! Operation Suspicion Downtune.

And the official photographer behind smirking a smile.....

Blah blah blah, I got down on my knees, sneak out the ring for her!

"Would you marry me?"

"I knew it!"

Girlfriend said I was shaking the whole time when I was proposing, and I barely managed to get the ring into her finger.....

Thanks so much for the kind help! And soooo happy I can share the happiness with you girls!
more photos in the next blogposts.
And video coming up!!

Why I choose a Tiger mascot.
My gf and I know each other from mutual friends' wedding where I was the brother and she was the sister, we become friends, but barely talks on facebook during the 5 years we know each other. We only started talking when the Chinese zodia Year of the Tiger approaches, and she posted a facebook status about a tiger, and I started posting something on her status and.... we started chatting about she being a Tiger.
She also has a photo of her petting a real tiger, and the conversation drift about that tiger now and then...

The "once a while chat" became daily, and sometimes even when we force ourselves to stop chatting due to work/overseas, we found ourselves unbearably drawn to messaging each other. The search for wifi in overseas locations, the repression of heart-absence....

The one thing I appreciate about this relationship is we started both as friends, neither of us wanted a relationship, we just speak to each other to pass time when we were working.
The Tiger helped us start this beautiful relationship...

Something innocent becomes perverted

Funny classics, I love Friends.
They don't make comedy like this anymore...

Twitter IPO- They should pay us for tweeting!

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/10/15/us-twitter-ipo-idUSBRE99E15520131015

Twitter Inc revealed on Tuesday a tripling in quarterly losses as it prepares to list on the New York Stock Exchange in one of the year's most anticipated IPOs.

Now that twitter is going to list IPO on NYSE, with a valuation of USD $12.8 to USD $20 billion.
Yes, thats billion with a b.

The US$12.8 billion figure is derived from the fair value that Twitter put on its shares in an initial public offering (IPO) filing. Ironfire Capital and Gamco Investors project the San Francisco-based could be worth US$15 billion to US$20 billion once it begins trading.

http://www.sharesinv.com/articles/2013/10/11/twitter-valuation-seen-exceeding-us20-billion-after-ipo/

As regular twitters, don't you think we should be paid? Just like how Google bloggers get paid when people click on ads?
1 cent per tweet would be good! :D

Bukit Panjang Singtel Fire Affecting Singapore Pools

Regarding the fire at Singtel Bukit Panjang exchanges that affected internet access, MioTV, mobile phone receptions not only at Singtel, but at M1 and Starhub as well, ATMs and bank branches... and more importantly....

whole islandwide Singapore Pools operations.

People who couldnt bet that day and found out that their numbers strike... i think you can give up on lottery forever.

Anyway, regarding the fire...

SINGAPORE - A fire at a SingTel facility on Wednesday affected various companies, including local telcos StarHub and M1 as well as DBS and OCBC banks.

OCBC said that services at 11 ATMs were affected, in locations such as Changi Airport, Jurong Point, Woodlands, Bukit Panjang, while DBS advised its customers to avoid DBS/POSB branches at Toa Payoh Central, Bukit Panjang, Jurong Point, Woodlands and Raffles Place until SingTel restores network connectivity.

DBS Bank said that the fire, which took place at SingTel's Bukit Panjang exchange at about 2pm, "affected a small proportion of DBS/POSB branches, ATMs and AXS services".

"All customers are assured that their funds are safe and the bank is working closely with SingTel to restore services as soon as possible," said DBS Bank.

The bank tweeted that it is taking "proactive measures to minimise service disruptions and will extend operating hours of all DBS and POSB branches today by an hour".

The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) said in a statement that several operators have also reported to the IDA on the fire.

"The incident has affected fixed line telephone, broadband, cable TV and mobile services of several operators in the northern parts of Singapore. This may have also have affected services relying on such networks. IDA is currently investigating the issue," said a spokesperson.

StarHub said that the fire affected its cable and fibre services. "As we lease some SingTel optical fibre capacity that runs through this exchange, this has affected StarHub's cable TV, cable and fibre broadband, and digital voice services for some of our customers," said Mr Mock Pak Lum, StarHub's Chief Technology Officer.

"We are monitoring the situation closely and working to restore services as soon as we can," he said.

M1 said in a Facebook post that its fibre broadband services in the Bukit Panjang area have been impacted and that the waiting time at its Causeway Point M1 Shop is "significantly longer than usual as the systems there have been impacted by the fire at SingTel's Bukit Panjang exchange".

Others affected by the outage include the Singapore Turf Club and Singapore Pools.

At about 3.30pm, SingTel posted an update on its Facebook page, saying: "There has been a fire at our Bukit Panjang exchange and this may have affected some fixed line voice, broadband and mobile services."

According to posts on SingTel's Facebook page, users in the north-west region of Singapore such as Bukit Panjang, Choa Chu Kang, Woodlands and Yew Tee started experiencing problems with their network services from around 2pm.

Woodlands resident, Ms Fidya Nurane, 19, said that her mioTV went blank at around 3pm. She added that she was unable to send out text messages to other SingTel users. Her wifi connection was still down as of 5.20pm.

An employee at a company located at Boon Keng said the Internet in her office was down starting from around 2pm. She added that workers were unable to connect to the company's network drive and that the data plan for SingTel mobile users was also affected.

Affected users are also saying that they are unable to get through the telco's 1688 helpline. SingTel has said that it is "working to restore services as soon as possible".

The Singapore Civil Defence Force said that it received a call at 2.16pm to attend to the fire. The fire broke out at a cable room in level one of SingTel's Bukit Panjang Telephone Exchange building, located at 40 Woodlands Road. The fire was extinguished in 20 minutes by two water jets. No injuries were reported.

Singapore Guy Snaps at Northpoint library

This video was going on for some time...
On first look, it seems that this guy is being unreasonable and using his physical presence to threaten others, that he is a commando, special anti terrorist plains clothes something... (i lost track)
uhm, he doesn't look threatening at all..

Anyway, a simple google search, and Straits Times report that SAF has identified this person and this guy is not from SAF.
He has also cleared his NS liabilities.

Also, a few googles found some threads, with eyewitness at that location....
Apparently, this guy appears to have some mental issues, which the video would not have revealed.
Sometimes, we really must learn to see both sides of the coin before we pass judgement.

Do not be so quick to judge.
