The Fragment Room

There seems to be a lot of anger around the world today. People fight over the silliest things. They fight over a parking lot, in a queue to buy silly toys, they fight over perceived staring, young people get into fracas especially at drinking spots, old men fight, hurt or kill one another suddenly over things. People protest in large groups and turned violent. Anger management should be a good business. The other problem is ego. Combined anger and ego and you have a very potent cocktail of emotion like a Molotov. Molotov himself died from a cardiovascular disease and pent up stress and anger could do the same to anyone.

 I get it that people are often stressed and may have pent up frustration over various things but if you get into a fray, you either end up at the police station or a hospital. Some have their faces rearranged and bills are without discounts even if you are a regular hospital visitor so let there be peace, live and let live. 

 Every time you feel like smashing things up, why don't you go do just that? You go and smash things up? You could even invite friends along to witness you at your rampaging best. You just go to the Fragment Room! 

Now please do not bring along your destructive tools and go smash up shops. That would be a demolition job. You have to preferably make a reservation and just come as you are.

For good clean fun!

All you need is a fragment of imagination.

You could warm up by dealing with a dummy.

There was going to be only one winner.

The dummy won...no matter how hard or fast you swing at it.

Hitting it with your best shots. No matter how fast you are with your hands. It stood its ground. 

Sometimes in life, it is better to go around it.

The greatest victory is to win without having to fight. 

I stood there and ponder...

Even the close range Ip Man rapid punches to the chest yielded the same result.

Release your tension.

Destroy your anger.

Practise your and throw away your bad golf shots.

I have even done the no bottle cap challenge as the bottle cap one was easier. Lol. The helmet, overall, gloves and boots were heavy. 

I could be a mean demolition man.

They say a bad workman quarrels with his tools. Life is about choices. I picked the weapons of my choice but fear not the weapons but the hands that wield them. The world owes you nothing and nothing in the world owns you. So make your choices wisely. Remember, if an egg is broken from an outside force, life ends. If broken from an inside force, life begins. Great things always begin from the inside.

I would like to share with you an old song from 1964 by Lesley Gore - You Don't Own Me:

Which was reprised in the movie The Suicide Squad by Grace:

Bruce Lee said that a man is born to achieve great things if he can conquer himself.

Mr. and Mrs. Thor. This is another way to Pak Thor.


Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor. When I am king, I'll hunt the monsters down and slay them all! Well, its not the Frost Giants. For Man's greatest enemy is himself. You are your own king and the monsters lived within you. Go slay them all! The people around you are completely at your mercy. 

This is a popular place. You should come try it too. We had a smashing good time and it was a smashing success! Come, don't Uncle. Be Hunkle! 

The Fragment Room is at 490 MacPherson Road. Do call them to make a reservation for your choice date and time. Wishing you a smashing success!

Preface It has really been awhile since I have last written and published an article on my blog with the last being in October last year. Before that I have been writing and publishing non-stop for 15 years since 2008.  I was not suffering from writer's block. They say running water never grows stale. So I have to move on to other things since the pandemic has ravaged and torn all asunder. No matter how passionate you are about anything, you will find that after an absence for sometime, the engine gets cold and you find it harder to start.  Just too darned busy and being too busy with one thing means one becomes lazy with the others. The law of compensation. A hiatus if you must.  Covid made it worse as there was no more travelling since borders were closed and eating locally and overseas were curtailed. So I could not write about these things. In fact, I laid out my travel luggage, sat down and spoke to them - "We are not gonna travel for a few years". They have since be

The Kallang Roar! (Part Three)

Back in the good old days, we have four other national teams. Besides the National Team (The Lions), we also have a B team (The Cubs). Then we also competed in the Sultan's Gold Cup fielding a team called Singapore Malays. We have the Singapore Indians playing in the Bardhan Cup and the other being the Singapore Chinese team also competing aga inst Malaysian state teams in the same format and also the Ho Ho Cup triangular among Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. In 1976, Englishman Trevor Hartley became responsible for the Singapore team at age 28. I can't remember which year Singapore beat Malacca 6-2 and Lee Bee Seng was sent off for punching an opponent who must have trampled on him. Here is Bee Seng with Brian Rozario. In the same match Quah Kim Song was sent off too for fighting. And I said wow! Malaysia Cup is like that? I like! (Pix - Lee Bee Seng with Brian Rozario). And can you believe this? Before all these we have Mike Walker who played Kim Song a

The Hainanese

The Hainanese are people from Hainan who originated from Hainan Island - the smallest province of China at the Southern most tip. They were originally fishermen from Fujian and Guandong and later settled over there. The Hainanese, part of the Chinese dispora migrated to different South East Asian countries including late comers to Singapore worked in ships as sailors, opened their own coffee shops or restaurants, bakeries or bars and worked as cooks and chefs and others at local hotels.  Hainanese in Singapore made up 7% of the Chinese population. The Hainanese came to Singapore much later than the Hokkiens and Teochews who are already well entrenched in trade and commerce. Originally they also have problems communicating with other dialect groups as their language seems unintelligible to the others but they began to carve out a name for themselves working for wealthy Europeans including as canteen operators for military bases.  Hainanese are especially with food and beverage.
