This is a persistence problem which gets louder the closer you are to the Lunar New Year. Discarded furniture, opened box cartons of new television sets purchased all being dumped at a stairway cum lift landing where it is supposed to be your fire escape. Few years back two from a family died when they tried to escape a big fire when they ran into stuffs that blocked their way. These are educated Singaporeans, maybe with better education than me, live in condominiums and are successful people. What happen? Why can't they pay $10-20 and get the cleaners to dispose at the same time reward some one for work? What's education for? We have to clean up our souls my friends. You can take a man out of the gutter but it is harder to take the gutter out of the man! I nearly wanted to tell off an old man who got into his car after paying for his petrol. There was a long queue but he took his own sweet time. What was he doing? He was talking on his mobile phone w...

What Goes Around Comes Around

Sometimes you will hear people saying this : "What goes around comes around". What do they mean? Let Justin Timberlake entertain you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOrnUquxtwA Let me share with you some very powerful true stories: Story One There was a young student who was an orphan at 18 back in 1892 at Sanford University. As such he was struggling with his fees but he had a bright idea. A friend helped him to raise money by hosting a musical. They knew there was this great pianist Ignacy J. Paderewski but his manager demanded $2,000 for the piano recital which they agreed. On the big day after Paderewski performed they found they have collected only $1,600 and they tried to explain their plight giving him all the money but Paderewski gave the money back to the boys and told them to settle everything and only to give him whatever the balance if there were remainder. A small act of kindness. Paderewski did a great thing as he could have harboured a thought lik...

Et Cetera - Etc.

It morphed into a single word etcetera and finally shortened as an abbreviation as "etc." The Noose The Best Actress in Singapore is Michelle Chong. All you need to do is to tune in to The Noose if you do not believe me. She could speak like a Singaporean, a bimbo, a Hong Konger or Filipino at least with that accent and act the part.

Deja Vu

You came to this magical place and you see some strange creatures. You fell in love with this beautiful lady and you fought for their lives and land. You seemed to be like in the Last Samurai or The Last of The Mohicans or simply John Smith in Pocahontas. The folks were tall and blue. Are you dreaming or you really have come to this place before. Wake up! You have just seen it in the Avatar. This is like Deja Vu. If you are John Smith then the below pix could be that of your father-in-law. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5BeJ7j1Fj4 (Last Samurai) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMZtQhhS14w&feature=fvw (Last Of The Mohicans) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q1QF8G47oU (Pocahontas) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRdxXPV9GNQ (Avatar) If you tell me now that you do not know any of these, please go get a life because a dinosaur like me can know why won't you?
