The Moment Of Truth

2009-11-12T12:04:00.001+08:00

Most of us know or have seen the reality TV show The Moment of Truth. It is a gameshow whereby contestants are required to answer a series of personal and embarrassing questions. If the contestant answers a question truthfully, he/she wins the corresponding amount of money and progresses to the next question, which gradually increases in difficulty (degree of personal nature). The contestant wins

Things I didn't post

2009-10-19T16:47:00.002+08:00

Today is my offday, and so is tomorrow. The noisy construction outside is so annoying so I'll let Teddy do the noise minus the annoying parts. I'll be meeting the Maybelyne later for some important appointment so I'll make this a quick one. I've been absent from the blogosphere for quite some time now, and I have a few reasons for it: The 'new post' page doesn't load properly on my Macbook; I

If I had long hair...

2009-09-21T19:59:00.003+08:00

...this is what I would have looked like. Dear says I'm pretty; Maybelyne says I'm scary; Vivian and Miffy say I'm handsome. What do you think? I kinda like it - reminds me of Yoon Ji-Hoo from BOF. But the hair's fake. By the way, credits to Vivian for the hair ;) Do check out this video too when they were trying "fix" my "hair".

My life as a Sim

2009-09-13T16:03:00.002+08:00

Hi. My name is GD, and I'm a sleazy Sim. I live in Downtown SimCity, if you know where that is. Apart from being a sleaze, I also have a good sense of humor. I'm friendly, active and I'd love to think I'm a genius as well. I love to have a good conversation too. I am currently romantically involved in three other Sims. One of them is my spouse, and the other two are, well, backups, in case she

I am a PORNSman

2009-09-10T20:39:00.006+08:00

I am to officially ORD tomorrow, but I already finished my last shift at Woodlands Checkpoint, and heck I already got back my IC and COS. Just a few days ago, for two years, I was a PNSF - Police National Service Fulltime. Now my COS is telling me that I am now a PORNSman, short for Police Operationally Ready National Serviceman (it's actually Police ORNSman but it's a mouthful to say). It's a

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties...

2009-08-24T20:53:00.002+08:00

Recently I'm having problems with Blogger, thus I am not able to post much. I can't post photos the way I do, and I can't format text without using HTML (WTF!). All I see on my 'Create Post' screen is this.You see, it's totally bare. I'm not sure who else is getting this same problem as I am but I know one friend who does.This doesn't mean I can't blog though: it only means I need to give extra

Legend of fine print on hot beverage cups

2009-08-11T13:14:00.004+08:00

These days it's so difficult to work in the service industry. The general public becomes more and more demanding, and they are always snooping around trying to find faults. And with email being increasingly available to everyone, especially with the increasing popularity of the smartphones and push email, shooting a complain is just right at their fingertips, literally. Though this is good for

Solar eclipse survival

2009-07-22T04:34:00.009+08:00

Just for the benefit of those who do not know, the longest solar eclipse in the 21st century happens today, 22 July 2009. It will be visible in most parts of Southeast Asia, and will last, at its maximum, 6 minutes and 38.8 seconds. It starts at 23:58:18 UTC (21 July), which means here in Singapore it will be at around 0758hrs, if I'm not mistaken and if it is even visible here.Solar eclipses

The Rules of Walking

2009-07-21T03:00:00.004+08:00

Walking is something everyone learns during the first years of our life. It seems like after our 2nd or 3rd birthday we are the masters of this human ability, thus we walk carefree. Besides, who else can walk upright other than humans? Chimpanzees? Puh-lease.But why oh why, even after years and decades and millenias of practice, we still walk into trouble while walking? (pun intended) Did our

The world is ending?

2009-07-20T03:11:00.001+08:00

One of my work colleagues talked to me about the world ending on a Friday in December in the next few years. She quickly reminded me of that cryptic date - 21st of December 2012 - that I've been reading across the internet, in Youtube, and in cross-linked articles in Wikipedia, and the upcoming movie this 13 November appropriately titled 2012. Does all this point to one thing?Along the

STOMPed!!

2009-07-15T18:06:00.009+08:00

STOMP, for the uninitiated, uninformed and unfamiliar (got such person meh?), stands for Straits Times Online Mobile Print. It is a portal where members of public can contribute news and articles and become freelance reporters and/or photojournalists themselves. It is run by SPH through The Straits Times, and is one very traffic-heavy website.What it's meant for is to allow Singaporeans to

Nokia loves music

2009-07-05T09:43:00.000+08:00

SPONSORED ADVERTORIALI just got a music voucher for Nokia Music Store!Well, it's not really for me, it's for my sister who just bought her E63. The voucher is included per purchase of some Nokia handsets. My N82 didn't come with one though. Anyway, the voucher is good for purchase of 8 songs or 1 full album. Now wait - 8 songs, Nokia Music Store. All I need now is a striped background, Adobe

The Passing of a King

2009-07-03T11:00:00.002+08:00

We have gotta give it to the man - he is legend.His music revived and reshaped the industry; his dance moves are iconic and patented.At a very young age he showed musical talent, and eventually rose as the King that he is.He reaped multiple Guiness World Records, made it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, recorded the best selling album of all time, achieved 13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one

The Fallen has risen

2009-06-30T15:17:00.007+08:00

I and Maybelyne watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen last Sunday, 28 June. I waited for this movie ever since I found an article leading to this sequel last 2007, right after watching the first Transformers movie. And my, oh my, my wait was very well worth it. Even if Starscream had not flown into space in the first movie's ending, I still would have expected a sequel anyway.If you've seen

Online Everywhere

2009-06-26T20:37:00.010+08:00

SPONSORED ADVERTORIALThese days it's hard to find a place in Singapore where there is no internet connection. Just find any McDonald's, Starbucks, or any other place that has Wireless@SG and you're good to go. The good thing is not only are these places easy to find, surfing the internet on these locations fall quite within our comfort zones: Java chip blended coffee, Double Quarter Pounder (

Afraid of Cockroaches?

2009-06-25T09:59:00.005+08:00

Do not fret. I know I am, but it's okay. A lot of people fear them too, and I mean a lot. We can't blame them right? When these things come scrurrying towards your feet from under your closet, or come flying to your face from atop a shelf, then people will know how sinister these little critters are.I've recounted countless encounters with these devils - at home, at work, at friends' houses, on

Con-Ass my conned ass

2009-06-21T19:52:00.009+08:00

[Pun intended]I was supposed to be blogging about my tech cravings, and this is so not a political blog, but this sparked my interest (and total disappointment). Being born and raised in, and being a citizen of a country who has for ages been fighting for freedom and justice, I feel the need to have my say on this, even though I am miles away from my own soil at the moment.The Philippine House

Flash Mob: Do's and Dont's in prose

2009-06-15T21:44:00.004+08:00

The Nuffnang PJ Flash Mob is still quite fresh now that it is over as when it was just announced. The idea was simple: show up in front of The Heeren with your PJs under your disguise, and on cue, rip take off your disguise and do a silent dance in your PJs, along with all the other bloggers and our gorgeous celebrity bloggers. Sounds like a hell lot of fun right, not to mention that it will be a

Kinder Bueno Friday night

2009-06-13T19:56:00.007+08:00

I am so tired! I just came from a crazy Orchard Road. I haven't had any decent meal since last night, nor do I have any decent rest. I was working night shift last night (like, duh?!), and just so you guys know what I mean by "no decent meal", take a look at what I had last night:It's black (chocolate) and white Kinder Bueno! I knew two would be enough, and it was. I didn't want to get any sugar

I think I've been spending too much time watching Korean drama online. And in case you were wondering which one:Song Woo Bin, So Yi Jung, Goo Jun Pyo, Geum Jan Di, Yoon Ji HooIt's Boys Before Flowers (or Boys Over Flowers) - a Korean drama iteration of the manga Hana yori Dango.I've seen the Taiwanese adaptation and it was how I got interested on this particular adaptation. I am now on episode 14

Singapore: the swine has landed

2009-05-27T15:18:00.006+08:00

The news already said it: Singapore is H1N1 hit.I found out about it as a friend from Facebook announced it thru his status update. Immediately after reading I checked Channel News Asia to confirm it. And it is.I read about the news early in the morning when I woke up. A few hours later when I decided to check with Channel News Asia again, the site wouldn't come up for some reason. I think it

geek offsprings

2009-05-20T20:37:00.005+08:00

Imagine this: you are a total absolute computer nerd, and your wife doesn't fall too far away from your geekiness. She gets pregnant (congratulations!) and you found out that you will be having twins. With your mind still racing with those html, C++ programming language, Kernel, et cetera, you can't think properly at the moment of what names you would give them. So you just decided you give them
