3R Candy Cabins

2009-11-15T12:02:00.009+08:00

Ushering in the festive season doesn't mean we have to forget the 3 'R's - Renew, Reuse, Recyle. These board berths at the entryway of Tanglin Mall are bedecked with salvaged materials such as paper plates and plastic bottles. Very environmentally-friendly.

Need a Tewter?

2009-11-15T10:08:00.006+08:00

It's not hard at all to play sleuth here in cyberspace, what with the contact number of this certified Lobang King being displayed in full view and all. A quick check reveals him to be one Richard Tan, who had also previously peddled his Samsung HTX715 home theater system on HardwareZone. You go, Rich! :-D

Hooded Fong

cuirong taking a breather from the gymsters and waddlers

OMSQ

2009-11-14T00:01:00.005+08:00

I don't quite get this: is it quarters for old married soldiers (as in those hentak kaki types), or old quarters (as in those left-to-rot types) for married soldiers who're not necessarily old? Can some encik enlighten me?

Seahorses

2009-11-13T23:50:00.009+08:00

A pair of spiny seahorses hang over the prospects of a particular brand of diamond/ healthy/ everlasting mattresses now that one Liza Wang has decided to devote most of her time to Cantonese opera than plugging the product.

Sowing the SEED of Extermination

2009-11-13T00:45:00.008+08:00

They're here to put E V E R Y O N E out of business.

More Cactus!

2009-11-12T23:36:00.005+08:00

Somehow, something tells us we're not at Imbiah Lookout anymore, but in Arizona...not true! Who says one has to travel that far to catch a prick by the crop?

Bandito

2009-11-12T00:01:00.003+08:00

No longer contented with shoplifting sunglasses from DFSs, George Lam recently switched to gun robbery.

Overboard

2009-11-11T23:37:00.007+08:00

What's there to 'beware' of? I've driven a buggy (or golf cart) before and these things don't usually go beyond 15 or 20 km/h. Unless we're talking about a re-enactment of the steam roller scene in AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY. Having said that, we totally appreciate the concern over our safety. Hee.

APEC

2009-11-11T00:01:00.004+08:00

The APEC Ministerial Meeting is already underway, with delegates having donned specially designed attire and sampled painstakingly prepared dishes. Now that everyone's comfortably clothed and fed, can we get down to serious business? That is, how to make a bowl of bak chor mee less expensive.

Bird Talk

2009-11-10T00:01:00.002+08:00

Who can comprehend jiao wei? These baby birdies are most likely chirping away "feed me, feed me!" while their feathered father is contemplating how to apportion the fat worm. Where's our birdwatching friend Tan San Tek when we need him?

Water Wheel

2009-11-09T21:40:00.004+08:00

Are we in Amsterdam? Why does this water wheel (front and back/top views) appear miniature? Must be the perception of size. Don't underestimate its hydropower - it can repel a million mozzies in a day!

Smile, You're on CANDID CAMERA!

2009-11-09T00:39:00.003+08:00

Don't let a dour Monday sour your spirits. Smile, as the Funts have been prodding you to!

Fine, We Surrender!

2009-11-08T22:26:00.011+08:00

Percival: Must we really come to this? Does British Malaya really need Banana notes?
Yamashita: Let us make this one thing clear. The Empire of Japan and the Axis powers don't have to talk terms with you...
Percival: Can we at least plead on behalf of George VI of the United Kingdom?
Yamashita: ...or your powerless king. If you continue to waste time and talk crap, then we won't hesitate to kamikaze your royal ass all the way from Tokyo!
Percival: Alright, fine. You win. We surrender.
Yamashita: Banzai!

No, Thank You!

2009-11-08T22:12:00.004+08:00

Professedly, Blogger's far from fault-proof (and it doesn't take a neurosurgeon to tell you that). What's with the 'mangled' Compose window? Looks more like decompose to me. Should we thank Pyra Labs for this free service? Perhaps they should sale it on ePier.

Joyce - Then & Now

2009-11-07T15:15:00.007+08:00

One would be hard pressed to find any parity between these comparative (then & now / before & after) photos of Joyce Cheng, the 22-year-old daughter of Adam Cheng and the late Lydia Shum. Ugly duckling becomes beautiful swan?

Thorn Among the Roses

2009-11-07T15:06:00.006+08:00

It was a 4-in-1 frolic on Friday with this super sinful + saturated $51 marble cheesecake (a small slice weighs as much as a brick!) from Forum The Shopping Mall's Secret Recipe. Roll call for the November babies concerned: Ms. Peh, Ms. Robertson, Ms. Sachdev and Mr. Tan, who's the only prickly thorn among the pretty roses. (*Blush*)

Cottage

2009-11-06T00:22:00.004+08:00

hansel and gretel outwitted the ogre and escaped from this godforsaken place

Nursing Room

2009-11-06T00:14:00.005+08:00

Children should grow up right, and by that we mean they should grow up happy. If your little one's suffering from a bruised ego, broken mind or fractured soul, then ~~s/he must be really precocious.~~ we suggest you send him/her to our Nursing Room, where special care will be administered around the clock. Diapers are also provided.

Get Your Hands Off My Car!

2009-11-05T00:01:00.004+08:00

After a grueling 77 hours and 43 minutes, 40-year-old Singaporean Mohd Anuar was declared the winner of the MediaCorp Subaru Impreza WRX Challenge, which saw 131 competitors from regional countries place their hands (and not remove them) on (designated spots of) their dream car worth over $80,000. I can never understand the mentality involved or physical conditioning required, but it must take a lot to be that Last Man Standing.

Shark Attack!

2009-11-04T21:20:00.003+08:00

It's unsafe and, therefore, inadvisable for anyone to swim in these shark-infested waters, but if you already have a prearranged date with these jaws of death, then go right ahead and be our guest!

Well...

2009-11-04T00:01:00.003+08:00

It's been several decades and there's still no sign of Sadako climbing out of this water shaft. Look, even the vegetation's overgrown. Should we keep on waiting like dumbnuts?

You!

2009-11-03T23:50:00.004+08:00

Stop right there! No spitting or littering in Buckingham Palace. And I didn't see you bow to Her Majesty's dog just now.

Ken Watanabe

2009-11-03T00:01:00.001+08:00

Not many people will remember him as Crusher (he with the teddy bear bomb) in 2000's SPACE TRAVELERS, but no one will forget him in 2003's THE LAST SAMURAI, where his steely portrayal of Lord Katsumoto earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and 2005's MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA, where he charmed the stockings off Zhang Ziyi (and practically the entire female populace) as The Chairman.

Nipah

2009-11-02T21:29:00.005+08:00

The only photo taken of the Chek Jawa wetlands at Pulau Ubin was this globular nipah palm fruit around the Mangrove Boardwalk. Wanted to snap those side-walking crabs, but they were far too small and shy! Aiyah.
