Oh crap
melamine | singapore | societyI might die anytime. Imagine my horror when I saw this on the papers..and the corresponding tin of toxic poison in my kitchen: I think I only ate 4 pieces…lucky for me that I’ve never been a fan of biscuits..
Annoyed
school | societyI am sick of the useless tutors that I have to listen to everyday, and the meaningless assignments that I have to do everyday. I still don’t understand why my parents are paying thousands of hard-earned dollars just to put me through this sad excuse of an education system. I just wish that the authorities [...]
Drama F1
f1 | formula 1 | singapore | society | sportsSo the world’s very first night race and Asia’s first F1 street circuit ends on a high note and the whole event has been a tremendous success.

Because the conversation ALWAYS, without fail, go into this annoyingly condescending manner: A: Oh you study mass comm? Where? Me: NUS A: Huhhhhhhhh I didn’t know NUS got a mass comm programme! Got meh? [...]

Authoritarian media on Mas Selamat’s escape
