big brother is watching

and i mean really watching. UP CLOSE.

today's papers had a local resident being arrested when he's at home (presumably in his boxers watching the TV or surfing porno website) by the local police because he made some racist comments on his blogs (if he's surfing porn then the police are so lucky to be able to add another charge). As I couldn't blatantly read that piece of article in the office since that is under Home news and media scanning on my part largely, or rather, most exclusively, revolved business articles,all I managed to stael a glance was "The local police raided his home" or something like that.

Yes, apparently, police raiding homes are the norm here in Singapore. Don't you love our sunny country where all the sun goes to waste cos nude tanning is illegal too? I mean, ok, the guy was wrong with his comments on the blog, but raiding his home? Ain't that like so, erm, communist era? It's such news that really makes me wanna get outta here and re-locate. It's also such news that reminds me to keep my blog in check and not be offensive. Because somewhere in novena, the internal security department is religiously monitoring all, and i mean ALL, internt activities.

Anyway, I realised upon googling (doncha love google?) that the said blogger called himself frangrance prince. YES. I am not kidding. It's amazing how people can name themselves in various fanciful words. If I were to have one, i think i'll call myself laddy macbeth...haha, get it?

Kindda like you office's IT system. Apparently, the folks in moi's office all knows I have a blog cos niggy mouthy moi let slipped the info. Ok, I partly wanted to gain more redership too so that I can be like those few star bloggers featured in the papers who earn few extra mooh lahs per month from advertisers. I am poor ok. Need money, and to get money, need exposure. not in the naked way, please.

So, remember what I said bout my office building's men's toilets having a better view than from my office? Well, at least the view from where I am sitted is bleah. I managed to get photos from the men's room. without the men of course, though I am sure some of you out there are disappointed. I am sure my place will be raided if there's a men in the men's room on my photos.


also, an accident happened just below my block and this time, sadly, no fatalities, but still, it was the most dramatic crash in years because depite the dent in the car, the driver was stuck in his seat as the door could not be opened post accident. the first time in the few crashes at this spot that I had seen an ambulance coming down with paramedics. Drama, I like.

But seriously, it just shows how goon some drivers can be. I mean...will it kill to slow down in a heartland?! You're not on the freaking Highway, you know. What's the rush? Ain't it worse now that you're caught in an accident and you do realise that time pst accident will not have happened if you used your brain and judgement to drive more carefully and slowly? Tis is another peeve here that makes me wanna re-locate. And I am not even a driver myself.

Another (Another, Another!) Bag(s) to my collection

Well, my Longchamp bags arrived today and turned out one of it was not light blue! haha...It's actually the dark brown that I wanted! Yeah! Ok, but the RED one...well, it's actually kinda pretty and I must admit I did contemplate using it myself...haha...

But still! It's RED.Period. So ladies and gentlemen, I am gonna put this RED bag for sale at 110 SGD. And I'll throw in the Longchamp paperbag with that. haha. To let all know the size of the bag better, I've placed an A4 book on it so that you can roughly know how big it is. As for detailed size, look at post below to get dimensions in CM. Also, the first photo shows how the bag is after it is folded.

If you are interested, leave your name and email by replying to the post. So far, I have a friend interested and she's called Anonymous aka Tina Lim. But she has yet to tell me if she wants it. So the offer is still open. After one week, and no takers, you'll see me using it then haha....

Update: Bag's taken. Sale's off

so...can i pull it off?

i told my friend to buy me 2 DIFFERENT longchamp bags, one laptop one for me, another tote for my mum. Well, cos he went to germany and its' cheap there..urns out he did get 2 for me at total of 100 euros (CHEAP!) but he also got 2 of same design.



One's in bright red for my mum, and another light brown for moi. Well, if you are asking which model he got it right, they are both the men's laptop. Yeah, another 2 bags to my collection. BRIGHT RED some more. Do I sound like a happy camper (or rather, Champer) here? Bleah.

Light brown, i can take it. light brown in women's tote, my mum can use that. But BRIGHT RED men's laptop? Mum cannot use it, and me also cannot use it.

See the problem (and photos) here? Talk about seeing red, literally.




But what to do? This really close friend of mine actually squeeze in shopping for moi into his ultra packed 5 day germany backpack trip. And he spent 1 hour searching for freaking longchamp shop in Frankfurt (well, there are many shops there but i merely emailed him 1 address..ok, partly my fault too). So tell me, my dear readers, how can I get angry? I mean, I am really grateful for all the trouble he went through, you know. And i know it is really difficult to shop for other people all the time. Like the trouble I went through in Tokyo to find a certain wallet.haha... Bt at least my trip was leisure. So, I am moreover ever grateful and thankful that I did manage to get a longchamp.

Well, I heard from my another friend that Australia sells longchamp cheap too. So if I really wanna get a tote for mum, I'll tell my air stewardess friend to get if when she goes there instead since she seem to not be flying the frankfurt route anytime soon...

funny poem + irritant + new found good blog

well, apparently ,my friend do not wanna be named so i shall call her what I've benn calling her in real life (since she hates to be rec. even in cyberspace and wants, rather, insisted, that , moi coined up a term for her...).

Miss Obese introduced me to this great amazing blog that adelyn introduced her to.anyway, the blog is from this really scandalous guy who sleeps ard but yet maganes to write in a really great manner and puts his thoughts into proper words and phrases (read: unline moi with tons of grammer and spelling mistakes)

but i shall not reveal the blog cos it is better off for you to go and look for it urself.

Next up, ok, i got many things to talk about today cos i had not been updating in some time.

Well, Miss Obese has this new found enemy in one of her classes and apparently, this gal is the class' common enemy too. She also has a special webpage she made to specially commemorate her meeting with her boyfriend, and all's written from her perspective. Phrases like hoe guy met amazing spunky gal and they "uprooted" (i swear she did use that word) to form a tree or something. Just shows the power of language and who some can use it to create amazing intresting blogs to keep me addicted yet others can mis use it to freak off moi. oh the commonenimy apparently reminded us of our very first commonenimy in campus call miss d***n and even they look scarily alike man. and this new commonenimy name's jolin, which does rhyme with d***n...haha...

Ok, i also watched harold and kumar sequel and i just wanna share this poem from the movie. . First I thought it was made up for the show only when i google it up did i realise that it is REAL ! It's by this guy called Dave Feinberg and the title is call Square Root of 3. Amazingly funny man.

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun,
as 1.7321
Such is my reality,
a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

###

I love that poem to death! hahaha

All in the family



Elise is back from her 2 month long stint in London and we warmly welcome her home with a dinner at Menotti. She also got me some very good chocolates from this brand which also caters to the Queen...And these chocolate truffles are delicious!
