I have a new favorite quote:

As you can see this site has been painlessly upgraded to the latest ultra cool version of Wordpress. Which means that the look of this site is also being worked on. Don’t mind the constant change of the site…
This picture and post came directly from my phone through gmail to flickr which automatically posted it on this blog. Hello gprs data charges and on the spot mobloggin! I am diggin the internets.
Absolutely tasteless and Un-PC viral ad from Volkswagen involving a Palestinian* suicide-bomber. Wonder who would be more offended? Victims of suicide bombers or stereotyped Palestinians. I feel dirty for having it found it funny at first then feeling uneasy.
VW is trying to distance itself from this. Ahh the wonders of plausible deniability. But […]
Someone asked me what I thought of Brahma Kumaris. The organisation was offering a free meditation weekend getaway. Hmmm. I googled them. All the first few links led to sites that talked glowingly of the organisation. On a hunch I googled with the terms “Brahma Kumaris Cult”. Woah! I sent her on a merry way […]
OK. There was a traffic jam on Dunlop street today. The tailback stretched way into Jalan Besar. There was a queue on Dunlop street today. Many many people standing in line. Traffic and crowds were so thick, police were needed to help out.
I have never been happier to see people queueing up in Singapore. […]

I don’t have all that much money left over this year, all I sent was US$160. (Its paltry, but every dollar helps right?)

Josef Stalin once said, “A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.”
Many places are linking to personal blogs where you can get first hand accounts of the disaster. I find these accounts to have a more direct impact on my view of the events. They move the events from just […]
I got the image above from IRIS. The map is actually a realtime interactive seismic monitor. You can find it here..
I am sure by now you are aware of today’s earthquake. The red colour denotes that it happend today and the circumference of the rings denotes its 8.9 magnititide on the Richter scale. The […]
KnightofPentacles over at singaporeserf has been applying for the US Green Card Lottery. You know the annoying banner ads (Get A Green Card now!!!!) you see all the time on certain websites? Yes that lottery. He has done some number crunching for us. I love comparitive odds worked out for me. I copied and […]
After reading this piece in Singapore’s premier tabloid i was reminded of an incident i experienced a few weeks back…
So I was taking the side roads linking Still Road to Joo Chiat on the way to Old Airport Road. The closer I got to Joo Chiat Road the number of hot looking women just standing […]
There has been a distinct lack of posts from anyone but Jo lately… my excuse? I run my own personal (self indulgent) blog, as well as, a photoblog. Other than that, I am a full time servant to the wage, daughter to my mum and dad, sister to two brothers, friend to some people and […]
Self Analysis
Espanol. Congas. Guitars. She takes me back to the faint memory of the unlit cigar, the sweet smell of the Madeira, the feeling of being held and the pleasure I receive just by being. The mood is pensive. Dreamlike. Romantic. Almost. It is midnight. Amidst our growing preoccupation with reality and life, I will […]
