The Nanjing Massacre

Yes. You're rite lets face it I'm one lazy ass blogger! My apologies for being a year late!~LOL~

Recently Channel News Asia reported on the 65th anniversary of the first atomic bomb attack. As mentioned in my previous blog about the atrocities done by the Jap Nips...

I was in Nanjing weeks ago and decided to pay homage to the souls from the Nanjing Massacre. It is a hair raising experience & trust me its "hair raising" for sure. The hairs on the back of my neck and my arms were standing still as if some magnetic field had been keeping them up.

Its is worth visiting as it allow us to have self reflection on our pass actions or should I say the "Nips' pass action" As I pass by the Mass Grave it was the worse sight I have ever seen so far. It made me think what drove the Nips to do all of these? There were even evidence of them driving in 6 inches nails into the skull of civilian such more!

I shall do less talking & let then pictures tell you the story!

65th Anniversary on first atomic bomb attack

6th August 2010 65th anniversary of world's first atomic bomb attack.

US attends first Hiroshima Atomic Bomb attack. & one Japanese civilian mentioned dat it is not enough by juz attending the anniversary! But I say dats more then wad they bargained for! Yes. Thousands suffered when the bombs were dropped in Hiroshima & ...Nagasaki. But before that old Japanese chap made that statement has he reflected the horror, atrocities and abomination Japan had done in the whole South East Asia? They raped, killed, tortured, robbed, humiliated, manipulated every single soul which only an abominable animal would do. They left scars so deep that no soul will ever forget "The Japanese Occupation" OR "The Nanjing Massacre"

I do hope that Old Japanese chap is not speaking for the whole of Japan. That chap needs to do some soul searching before passing that statement! I might not even be here now if my dad, mum or even my grandparents were one of their tortured victims!

Let the whole world know about this! & if that one Japanese is proud of the statement he made then shall tell him I regretted knowing that US had dropped only two bombs. They should have dropped enough to clear away the whole island!!!

BEING AROUND YOU!

Do we recognize the important things & take the small little things around us for granted? Or do we cherish every single thing around us?

For me its every single thing you do around me! Thanks for being the silver lining behind my darkest cloud, you made me smile when my mood is down, surprise me all the while & accompany me every now.

Small little things that you do made me laugh, like the single alphabet F that made me laugh.
________U
________N

________Y

While I know a bus ride can make you smile, you are what that made me smile! Home is where you relax for the rest of the day but thinking of you is what that completes my day!

Thanks for coming into my life!

ONE IRRESPONSIBLE CHINA-MAN

I was really looking forward to the Great Singapore Sing Along concert at the floating platform on my weekend.

As I was walking towards the entrance & I bump into
this very rude & irresponsible China-man. He was walking towards me & was chatting loudly to his friend.

Looking to my left I realize there isn't any morwalking space hence I slowed down in order to avod bumping shoulders to shoulders with the China-man. But with his inconsiderate actions he swung his arms wide & there was a loud "THUD" & "CRACK" immediately looking at my precious A.Lange & Sohne, "TOO LATE" on the top is the aftermath..

I tried asking the China-man to pay up but he said "how do you know its my arm dat hit you & not your arm dat hit me?" If I were 10 years younger & my temper much worse back then I did beat the shit outta him man...!!!

EATING IN TAIWAN

Taiwan boast some of the world's best street cuisine and weird tasting stuff.

I had never tasted betel nuts & was dying to score some of those coz when it comes to food &
travel I will never miss my chance to try some Fear Factor style tasting. Allowing my taste buds to suffer, I got hold of some & let me tell you its the worse stuff I have ever tried up to date..! Its taste extremely sour & bitter...! Jesus...I will never ever lay my hands on those nasty stuff ever again.



But of course in Taiwan you can get real wicked & delicious stuff. Juz like the crab claws on the right...Boy were they yummy & the greedy me finish the whole pack myself...





The herbal looking soup below is the only stuff I have regretted tasting up to date. It is snake soup & not dat it is foul smelling but we chineses believe in the 12 animal horoscopes & juz happened dat my mum was born in the year of the snake.

I TEARED..! Yes I did. While eating the meat & drinking the soup part of me felt like I am devouring my own mum...but if you must know it taste rather like chicken & nothing special about it.

Taipei (台北) is the largest city in Taiwan and has served as the de facto capital of the Republic of China (Taiwan) since the Chinese Civil War in 1949. It is situated on the Danshui RiverDanshui, almost at the northern tip of the island.

Basically when I look at some Taiwanese teenagers the idea that went through my mind is dat they are all polluted by Japanese culture seems like some sort of Jap Poser..!

Actually in terms of shopping I find that the cost is not much of a difference compared to Singapore but of course i would say that 'KUDOS' to the street fashion. They have very well designed street wear and you are spoilt with choices when it comes to sneakers.

I went to the Yangmingshan which its one of their national park but the sad thing was everywhere was covered with thick fog hence I couldn't get a nice picture with a beautiful scene in it. Food paradise is located at Kee Lung and they have almost all kind of seafood there.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yangmingshan_National_Park

Basically Taipei wasn't much of a nice experience for me so hopefully going with "i1" might give a different story...! =p So please pardon me for not being able to give u a detailed story..

THE PINK CITY

Streets of Jaipur The streets of Jaipur & the cultures are so different from the big city. The air is less polluted, landscape are more attractive & seems to be more peaceful. Most of the buildings in Jaipur are coloured in Pink and there are more historical places to visit. The only bad thing is the weather. Its hot & dry making us an easy prey to dehydration. The coolest of all you may find in Jaipur is this historical palace in the middle of the lake & its a magnificent architecture work.

The beauty of Jaipur..! In Jaipur most of the locals travel within an auto AKA Tuk Tuk, as private cabs isn’t much active.

ONE UNREMORSEFUL JAPANESE!

Shame shame to that one Japanese guy

Remember the time when our grandfather was roaming the streets when Japan drop bombs all over Asia? It was a time that Japanese soldiers left chaos running around the streets, all the atrocities they committed & the tortures they executed was inhumane. If you have no single clue of what they did, well they rape women from my countries, dropped bomb in my land & worst were the torture they had came up with. Some examples were pulling out our finger nails from our flesh, forcing & feeding us with water & till we can’t drink anymore they stepped on our stomach forcing the water out again. There are more that we today wish not to speak about it. Now, today, feeling ashamed they decided they wanna leave all these out of their history books & covering this act from the current generation.











I say thank God the Atomic bomb was researched & made available & it went KABOOM in the few cities of Japan. But you must be asking “so why telling us all these when we knew it long time ago?” The news that you might not know & left me feeling ashamed for this single comment by this certain Japanese was brought to day light when it came out of the Yahoo news. That certain Japanese mentioned that how could the pilot from America whom had dropped the atomic bomb pass away & not apologizing to the people of Japan? Yes we know that after the bombing Japanese citizens were covered with radio active illnesses! But before that certain Japanese commented on the above sentencein red he did better check his history on Japan. Japan was the one who came knocking on Asia’s door for war. Countries that suffered did not go knocking on the door of Japan & say “hey please attack me!” So please to that shameless Japanese who commented that sentence to check with his government why such shameful deed was launched! if not for the atomic bomb more Asians will have to suffer & Tom, Dick & Harry might not even exist today. Because if my grandfather was killed by the Japanese I will not be here blogging about this.





I do hope that the guy whom commented the sentence does speak for the rest of Japan it will be shameful if it was.

INDIA TODAY!

Understanding India culture First of all I would like to apologize for my absences for the past weeks. Work has gotten most of my time & my style of blogging is to report interesting informative happenings I experience. I was away on a business trip till today & I touch down Singapore only at ETA 0810hrs today. My flight to India-Delhi was a pleasant one via Singapore Airline. Airline crew were caring & making sure my needs are met. The thought of leaving Singapore to Delhi had already provided me with an adrenaline rush. The idea of India has always been exotic for me. Exotic not about the colours of India, spices of India but the sight & things you get to see is not a normal sight you will get back in Singapore or my second mother land Thailand. The only fear I face is not being able to withstand the overwhelming body odour of the Indians. I’m sure most of us face before the horrendous situation when a Bangladeshi or Indian sit themselves down next to us drowning us with their body odour. But to my surprise I wasn’t drowned in the sea of odour when I was surrounded in Delhi International Airport by hundreds of Indians AKA “Ah Pu Neh” lol..

It came to my notice that the environment seems hostile. Thus my male protective instinct kick in & I find its my duty to protect my female colleague that was travelling with me. I was worried that having so many Indians surrounding her might be dangerous for my female colleague Teri to roam around with me while I hailus a cab so I requested that she wait in the airport. It wasn’t long before a group of private cab drivers approach me with multiple price range. The highest they offered was RS$750 & I wasn’t really convince that its the standard or best price I could get. Facing the airport, I made a left & found a few cab companies I didn’t hesitate to pay when I was offered RS$250 for a trip to my hotel.

Wasting no time I make my way back to my colleague whom was waiting still in the airport. As I made my way back in to the airport, I was stopped by a security guard. He demanded RS$60 from me saying that I would need to make a payment to get back in. Having a strong a stubborn character I refuse payment till a police officer approach & stopped the whole heated argument . Lastly letting me in without having to pay. As our cab drove us to our destination , Ashok Hotel, I was able to view the streets of Delhi & immediately I started to immerse myself into the culture.

Streets were busy, drivers sounding their horns in the

cars & trucks could be heard non stop. The non-accommodating streets & living condition amaze me making me saying thanks & appreciating the fact that I am from a country that need not live in those conditions.

GETTING AROUND DELHI

Getting around Delhi wasn’t that hard it either u hop into one of those “Auto AKA TukTuk” or a cab. A cab ride will be the safest way but the Auto will give you better experience. Over at Ashok Hotel they have their own private cabs & I managed to get Ravi to drive us around Delhi when there’s a need to. Ravi & his younger brother Govind both take up the job as a part time cab driver. Ravi’s profession is a Marketing Executive in the food industry while Govind is in his last year of study taking up engineering. Both brothers are honest & provide the best service. They do not rip off tourist & are very genuine people. I would say if you are planning a trip to Delhi do not hesitate to contact Ravi at +91 9211341570 you could arrange for him to pick you up at the airport too! Best of all they are able to communicate in perfect crisp British- accented English (above you can find Ravi)

(below is the auto vehicle)

All of the shopping malls in Delhi closes around 9.30pm & the night market will close around 10pm. But as the night draws nearer to 10pm you may find that the streets isn’t so congested with people as its not advisable to go out at that time. It is quite interesting to know that different province in India has different cultures, languages & safety level. But one thing which is similar in all province is that drivers sound their horn in a form of politeness when you over take & its quite unique comparing to the system in Singapore.

HER MAJESTY

Meeting the Queen of Jaipur

Travelling up to Jaipur was indeed something I was looking forward to as it was my success that I am are able to meet her. In fact the trip to Jaipur is to do a presentation in M.G.D Girls’ School & the school is a private school owned by the Queen.

The traditional welcome ceremony done by the Queen herself, which makes us feel like VIP & provides us with such wonderful hospitality.

Major press holdings of India flocked downto M.G.D Girls’ School to interviewed us. Giving us the publicity that we need in Jaipur, all of our pictures were in the major newspapers all around the northern province.

INDIA_CHENNAI

Chennai is the next destination I’m gonna cover in India. Its all the way down south & the official language will be Tamil. South Indians are the original inhabitants of India they are darker in skin complexion. Chennai is not that well developed & street lamps are limited. During the night its more of the headlights from cars, trucks, etc making it not that safe to travel at night.

Overall Chennai has more land pollution. If you take a look beside you will get to understand!

I’m not even sure if its a hut or rubbish dumping ground!

SOUL IN BANGKOK PHYSiICALLY IN S’PORE

Whenever the thoughtof going back to Bangkok my heart starts pounding harder, heart starts beating faster & when I’m in the airport ready to board the plane, an adrenalin rush will shoot up my mind & when the stewardess says welcome to Bangkok..lol I could unbuckled my seat belt & jump right off the plane.

The only thing dat irks me at times is when I would have to be the tour guide for the friends that follow me back to the country in my heart. YES….if you guess it right yea..my genes is partly from Thailand. The donation of sperm is S’pore made while the egg is of Thai. Lol… & I have most of bangkok under my finger tips. Well…most of it. From where to shop, where to eat & where to club. The trip to Bangkok for most Singaporean is rather rountined. ChatuChak weekend market, MBK Centre, Pratunam, etc. For me, its more on catching up with my friends or sleeping. I feel so much at home & peaceful.

This time round in March, I’m bringing a group five back to Bangkok. One of them is a 13 year old very very out of hand girl whom she herself is a Thai..! Yes a Thai who doesn’t know how to speak Thai, hate Thailand & thinks dat Thailand is a disgrace to her. To a certain extend I pity her at times & I loathe her at times. She’s juz sigh….how do I say? Going through a tough teenage life like me before? But better off in certain ways. She was actually brought up & raise in Singapore so dats why she kant really be bothered to learn the Thai language.

I really kant imagine wat will happen between she & I when we head to Bangkok together. Argh…..kill me..! Dun worry I’m sure not to miss out all the details in this blog when I’m back.

SINGAPORE TODAY!

Singaporeans..!

Singapore is a very safe country indeed. I must say “Kudos” to the system of law.
But you see, these days Singaporeans can get from bad to worse & finally WORST. I did wanna blog about this but it had always slip my mind. Is it a culture that we cannot change? Is it in our blood? Yep, you guessed it alrite. The god damn attitude of Singaporeans. If Singaporeans can’t even follow simple rules, how can they even be a good parent? We are what we eat, & our child is what we taught them out to be.

When you are rushing for the Mrt, you will find people standing by the right side of the escalator blocking your way. Singaporeans can read English but choose to ignore the sign “please stand right.” Now when you finally reach the door of the train, you find a bunch of monkeys standing by the doors instead of moving in. I must say monkeys are so much cleverer than Singaporeans. One day I am gonna snap a very clear picture and post the picture of all these acts on my blog & shame the hell of that unlucky person. I mean why are all these happening? Is it very hard to follow such simple orders? Can anyone please explain to me the very meaning such things are happening. It goes the same even for SBS bus service. You get another bunch of monkeys not moving to the rear of the bus. I mean why? The Jamal Brothers dropped them a sms saying “please aviod standing at the rear of the bus, the bomb will go off there.”

There is so much more acts that I am ashame of. I work in a place where you can find people from different countries hence I am able to learn different cultures. Some times people around you just take you for granted or take advantage of you when you are kind. Try being polite like keeping the door open after you for the next person & guess what? They take their own sweet time walking out of the door without even holding the door. How rude right?
The worst thing a Singaporean can do is to judge you. Yes, the mouth of Singaporean can judge you from head to toe and back up from toe to head. Now what rights do we have to judge? The only time I will be judged is when I meet my heavenly father. I personally have this horrendous experience of being judge inside out & it feels horrendous. To a Singaporean, you smoke you are a bad guy, you have tattoo you are a bad guy, you have piercing you are a bad guy. Don’t you just get sick of all these? I wonder how would a Singapore parent behave or teach their kids if they were to bring up their kids in Amsterdam..!! Where by almost everything dat is illegal in Singapore is legal in Amsterdam.

I really hope this blog is able to reach out to all the millions of Singaporeans. Singapore started out as a small fishing village, & it became what we have now & if we don’t start acting and changing our selfish act now. No matter how great Singapore can get, how fast we can move forward, we are just a bunch of monkeys with peanut brains living in a small island.
Make a differHere in Singapore a parent can afford to say ”you cannot do this, the police will catch you” but in Amsterdam how would you as a parent behave? Singapore parents would not even survive one day there. Remember our parents always say “you must study hard if not next time die ah” “daddy study very hard last time that is why now daddy make lots of money” So what happen if one fine day your kid ask you ”daddy David Beckham is not a smart person and he didn’t have good grades in school & how come he is earning hundred times more than you?” How would you answer that?

Make a difference today don’t act like a monkey, monkey see monkey do..! Don’t just think that the person infront of you is standing on the right side of the escalator gives you the right to do so. “He stand, I stand lor” that’s the thinking of Singaporean. But remember, every little changes start from YOU..!

THE MOST IRRITATING THING IN TOWN

No justice is done..!


What do motorists loathe the most, people need the most when they are late & get none in town from 2230hrs – 0000hrs?

Bingo! Taxis!

Have you ever asked a taxi driver to keep the change due to excellent service they provide? The next time round think twice before you do so in Singapore. Why? Because they can really piss you off when you wanna get a ride back home from town at 2330hrs. I believe no other countries have such a taxi service that you are required to pay so much just for a ride. ERP, public holiday surcharge & MIDNIGHT CHARGE! Here in Singapore after the clock strike 0000hrs there will be an additional 50% surchargefrom your total fare. So say if the trip cost $10 the total fare including the midnight surcharge will be$15. But we don’t mind paying that extra $5 since its a faster way home. The problem Singaporeans face are the taxi drivers! In order to make their trip cost effective taxi drivers here practice a bad & inconsiderate method.

From 2330hrs – 0000hrs you will not be able to flag down a taxi even if has no passenger on board. They will totally ignore you when you flag them down or put up a sign saying they are “on call” meaning they are picking up someone whom had done a booking through the phone. In order to earn that extra money they will park in some dark alleys or driving around town aimlessly in town waiting for the clock to tick pass 0000hrs.

It is an act that can make your blood boil or trigger a heart attack! This has been going on for years & yet the taxi companies seem not correcting this culture. There should be some organization made specially penalize these kind of taxi drivers. These are just something I don’t understand which is hearing time over time that drivers are complaining not having enough business!

Seriously I wouldn’t pity them if they met with an accident. I’m not being cruel or heartless but these inconsiderate taxi drivers are making our life miserable. So think twice the next time you compliment them.

When it comes to being a motorist you would wanna bash the daylight off the taxi drivers. They drive recklessly, switch lanes without checking their blind spot causing much accident to motorist!

But of course they one in a thousand taxi drivers have good souls & a gracious heart. Till the day comes for them to change for the better I can only pray to god to forgive them.

THE TRUE BANGKOK ITINERARY PART 2

Chill out at BKK part 2

Now for your Sunday, it will be great if you are taking a night flight back to Singapore. Coz only so you will be able to enjoy your Sunday in BKK. For the start in the morning take a train ride (BTR is wat they call it in Thai) to Saphan Taksin from there take a ferry all the way to Wat Po ferry stop. At Wat Po they have the famous Sleeping Buddha take a tour in the temple itself. After all the walking & carrying heavy shopping bags enjoy the traditional massage in the temple. All the licensed traditional massage parlor in Bangkok trains & get their certificate at Wat Po.

For your convenience here’s the Bangkok skytrain map http://www.guidetothailand.com/maps-thailand/bangkok-skytrain.htm

Wat Po Temple http://www.webshots.com/search?query=Wat+Po

After Wat Po if you do have time still, visit the Bangkok river cruise start the river cruise from the Sathorn Pier.

Bangkok is changing fast, but if you still want a close up of traditional Thai life, explore some of Bangkok’s waterways. The network of canals (klongs) branching out from the main Chao Phraya river still follows an old lifestyle that leaves the modern face of Bangkok behind.
Small interconnecting canals sustain a traditional lifestyle where mobile shops, “floating kitchens” and water taxi services ensure a local pace. While it is not difficult to hire a boat by yourself, a guided tour provides an insight into the lifestyle, rather than just a plain sightseeing trip. Choose a klong tour which stops at some of Bangkok’s other places of interest, like the Royal Barges Museum and Wat Arun, or why not combine with a rice barge cruise along the Chao Phraya river. An excellent way to get to know a special part of Bangkok.

Canal Cruise http://www.bangkok.com/tours-river-cruises/index.html#canal-tours

After enjoying a day of sight seeing, I guess its time to head back to your hotel & start getting ready to fly back to Singapore. Enjoy your trip…cheers

THE TRUE BANGKOK ITINERARY

Visit BKK for the weekend

Now if you are thinking of visiting BKK for the weekend, I would recommend dat you take the nite flight from Singapore to Bangkok on a Friday. Coz dat will give you more time on the Sat in Bangkok.
*never to shop real hard before heading to Chatuchak Weekend Market.*

• Hotel : http://www.samran.com/

For a budget stay which is nearest to the city & most convenient try Sam Ran Place the price is reasonable even during peak period at SIN$60 for a nite & SIN$50 a nite with breakfast included.

Now for the places you should visit on the Friday nite u touch down.

• Patpong Night Market http://bangkok2night.com/pictures/patpong.shtml

Patpong Night Market is like a Singapore Pasar Malam. Its a good experience to walk through the crowd, there main market is in between the Go Go Bars where all the gals will be dancing on the platform. But the attention we should give is the experience in the Pasar Malam. You can find looks of fake goods there but remember juz stroll through & dun buy anything unless you are pretty tempted. Coz Patpong is a place where they hack of a piece from tourist. Things there are very expensive. Oh but on the left of the main market there’s this air-conditioned shop by the name of Narayan, they sell very pretty nice lady’s handbag at reasonable price. After the main market, walk out to the main street. For about one kilometer there’s one whole street of push carts selling tee shirt, home deco, etc. Things there are quite expensive still but lower than the main market. If you are kool enough, try the road side food there. Food there is pretty yummy. But juz dun look at how they wash their plates..! After all dat walking, head back to your hotel coz you will need all the energy for tomorrow.

Saturday….!

• Chatucahk Weekend Market http://www.asiatraveltips.com/PicturesofChatuchakMarket.shtml

Try your best to wake up at 8am in the morning have your breakfast at your hotel & head to Chatuchak Weekend Market. You can spend a serious day of shopping alone there..! Prices are reasonable & the most you will need to spend on one tee shirt is about Baht$150 – Baht$180. There’s so much to buy there, like tee shirts, sunglasses, home deco, aroma therapy stuff & even PETS…! Yes..dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, etc. Oh for your convenience, try to get a map of the place. trust me its HUGE..! Try to do your shopping by 3pm coz there’s more places to head to. (Actually after Chatuchak, there isn’t much to buy else where. Coz Chatuchak aka JJ Market is a wholesales place) So you can get lots of stuff there. So remember, for a good bargain leave all the shopping at Chatucahk. Oh gotta warn you gals first Chatuchak is very hot & humid so standby more tissue.

• Siam Ocean World http://www.bangkok.com/siam-ocean-world/index.html

Head for Siam Ocean World. Its so much more to see compared to the Underwater World in Sentosa. Entry fee is at about Baht$1200 if I’m not wrong. Its really a nice place with air-conditioning & you will enjoy the air-conditioning after Chatuchak..! Lunch eat light as there’s yummy food to try in the evening. After enjoying the air-conditioned Ocean World & before heading for a place for dinner, head to MBK Shopping Centre. Its one of the largest shopping mall in Bangkok. Its about 7 storeys if I’m not wrong. I believe after a whole morning & afternoon in Chatuchak there wouldn’t be much to buy there. If you would make any purchase there it would be most probably of the design on the shirts or tee shirts.

China Town http://skaarpictures.com/images15/

MBK Shopping Mall http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-2768534-ma_boon_krong_mbk_shopping_center_bangkok-i

There’s lots of seafood at reasonable price in China Town & dats where you can have your dinner & take a stroll. there isn’t much to buy there unless you wanna get some gold rings, necklace, etc. As for my recommendation, take a cab to Ratchada tell the cab driver to bring you to Seafood Restaurant at Ratchada. Seafood there are more yummy & cheaper. Oh & next to the restaurant you can find a few clubs to party. The locals dun really go for beer or Vodka there. You can try getting a bottle of Johnnie Walker Red Label. A big bottle will cost you around Baht$1300 – Baht$1500.

• Khao San Road http://www.bangkokpicture.com/pictures/khaosanroad05.php

After dinner, take yourself down to Khao San Road. Over at Khao San you may find numerous backpackers inn & the most interesting thing is you will be able to see a mixture of people from different countries chilling out there. On both side of the road there’s plenty of road side store selling sport wears brand from Addidas to Nike, etc. if you are in to doing some corn rolls or dreadlocks there’s services provided by the road stores. The thing about Khao San is to actually enjoy the sort of culture with all nationality of tourist. the place isn’t huge but about 800m of shopping. there’s pubs on both sides of the street so if you wanna chill out why not try out the pubs with a bottle of Johnnie Walker Red Label..! Seriously I would never recommend Suan Lum Night Bazaar coz stuff there are too expensive. Even for the locals they would find shopping there too expensive. But if you wanna check it out by all means head there.

• Suam Lum Night Bazzar http://www.bangkok.com/shopping-market/suan-lum-night-bazaar.html

IR IN SINGAPORE, GRAND PRIX but SINGAPOREANS…

Singaporeans should start changing their attitudes

With the IR coming in view, Lucas film here, first ever grand Prix in Singapore is for sure gonna bring up our economy. The launch of renaissancecity by the Singapore government is a great move to entice foreigners into Singapore. Singapore is well thought of a clean & safe country. But me coming from a background that my mum is a Thai & my dad a Singaporean I am proud to say that my roots don’t trace back as a 100% Singaporean.

Why do I say so? I am ashamed to be called a Singaporean! I mean what the F?? Look at Singaporeans in our public bus service, they don’t bother to move to the rear of the bus when they board the bus. people are squeezing in the front & people at the mid of the bus can give you that kinda “what? Is something wrong?” I mean hello, people are running out of space & you have the chhek to just enjoy your music from your Ipod & don’t bother to move back to the rear. These Singaporeans are totally inconsiderate. If any one of you Singaporeans are reading this, think & do turn & see what I am trying to say when you are in the bus. But if you’re one that don’t bother to move back to the rear as well, wait till you are trying to get to work in the morning trying to board the bus & HAHA you are stuck & couldn’t board the bus just because some inconsiderate people don’t wanna move their feets!

WILLAM PETERSON IS LEAVING HIS LEAD ROLE IN CSI

Anyone out there in Asia that’s a great fan of CSI? If there’s well…its time to say goodbye to Willam Peterson aka Gil Grissom in CSI. Yes you’re right news report that the all time godfather, male lead of CSI will be puuting his end in the US drama series this midseason. Sad? But true. Perhaps he will be starting his career in theatre when he took 5 weeks leave to perform in theatre act over at Rhode Island.

But fans out there, don’t be too upset as he will remain as executive producer throughout this season. Or maybe appear as a guest appearance throughout the end of this season till they shut it off. But it seems its not the end of CSI as Mendelsohn promised new blood to the series.

By the way anyone know of any anger management classes in Singapore?
