The Olympics

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 13:38:28 +0000

I’m an avid fan of the Olympics and leave my TV on almost 24/7 during this sporting event. My favourites are always badminton, synchronised diving, swimming, and gymnastics. So naturally I was really impressed when Tao Li became the first Singaporean woman to qualify for a swimming final on the world’s grandest sporting stage. She [...]

ST, please don’t send rookies to cover big musical events

I can’t believe Straits Times didn’t mention Jason Mraz AT ALL in their review of Singfest. Someone seriously needs a refreshment lesson on what is considered ‘newsworthy’. The insane amount of YouTube videos and comments related to Mraz’s performance is enough to blow all the other artistes out of the water. I’m glad at least both [...]

Authoritarian media on Mas Selamat’s escape

I have been very much heartened by the encouragement given by friends, netizens and fans to write more frequently on my blog in order to share views on political issues, since the Straits Times no longer appears willing to publish my commentaries. - Catherine Lim =\ I wonder where he is now…hmm…making a bomb in a HDB [...]

Facebook is dangerous?

Thu, 01 May 2008 15:10:14 +0000

BBC on Facebook’s security flaw Actually this thing has been bugging me for a long time now. I often think “wtf” when I see my friends posting up all their addresses and telephone numbers online but since it’s none of my business I decided to keep quiet about it. I am just disturbed by the fact [...]

Liverpool 2 - 0 Fulham

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 08:50:03 +0000

As expected..easy and comfortable win. Pennant’s goal is brilliant. In fact the match actually got a little bit boring..so much so that I started studying for my exams instead. I seriously don’t like it when the fans sing the Torres song X 20 times when he’s not even playing. The worst thing is that the song [...]

Oh Snap!

It turns out that the girl in the famous ‘3 a.m.’ advertisement used by Hilary Clinton’s team is actually an avid Obama supporter. Hahaha the funnys. Obama’s staff even got her to make a counter-attack on his YouTube page. Hilary got p3wned. Original ‘3 a.m.’ Ad: The Colbert Report also created one joint effort for Obama and [...]

Pay-TV Football Price War

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 08:28:24 +0000

Situation in brief: Local football fans are getting increasingly intolerant towards the constant price hikes for pay-TV football content. SingTel has secured exclusive broadcast rights to the hugely popular Uefa Champions League and Uefa Cup starting from August next year to 2012. The competitions are currently shown on StarHub’s ESPN STARSports Channels 23 and 24, [...]

Why I fucking hate STOMP

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 13:11:32 +0000

This rubbish fuck of a site has been annoying me since 2006. I had to study it (along with Wireless@SG) meticulously because my final exam paper back in Poly days was based on it. The insanely bad layout, senseless and cheap “citizen journalism”, stupid fucking retards making lame statements, and last but not least, the STUPID [...]
