Gold medal for Singapore?

Hmmm... YOG is over... No more giving way to buses with flashing strobe lights...

But then, i can't seem to sense the disappointment that Singapore did not even get a gold medal for the YOG.

I am sure our people had tried their best, and they got the silver medals to prove it. Even to those who did not get a medal, being able to represent Singapore is no simple feat. Unlike me, where i would prob do Singapore proud by counting the hours i spend on my bed.

Anyway, well done!

But still, maybe it's time for the Sports Council and the YOG committee to think about what they can do to ensure that Singapore gets a Gold medal in the next big thing?

Well, let this S.O get out of bed, putting on his thinking cap, to think of some events to ensure that Singapore gets a gold medal for the next big thing.

1) Queuing Competition.
Singaporeans are proven to be the world expert at this. Especially the prize at the end is not a medal but a hello kitty, a BTO flat (competitors have to pay for the flat), or even perhaps a PC show with lots freebies. Even at places with super nice food. But please, do not take any reference from Brad's blog hor.

2) Archery.
I know there's archery event at the YOG, but with a little twist to the rules. The target is not the circular blue, yellow or red colour, but with humans. Singaporeans are very adept to shooting arrows, with great precision and aim, and sometimes, without aim that goes straight throught the heart of the people that does not dodge fast enough.

Yes. the competitors does not use the bow to fire off the arrow in this sport, but rather, their mouths.

3) Complaining competition.
Any Singaporean should know that we are unbeatable at this. Especially the 2 sisters who got banned from NTUC Fairprice Supermarkets. They are the world champions at this, hands down, by far. No fight. No contest.

4) Vagular language competition
Can hold a competition to see who knows the most vagular language. i believe Singaporeans knows the most, be it hokkien, cantonese, chinese, malay, tamil, Koeran, Japanese, and some even french, german, italian. There's even sign languages that everone knows.

5)Choping seats in hawker centers.
Yeah... One of Singaporeans favourite past-time hobbies. We are so good at that, even using the least expensive stuffs, (read "tissue paper") to chop. And it's quite effective, apparently.

Wow... Does wonders ever cease? In such a short span of brain activites, so much ideas can come in.

So, perhaps, in the next international competition event, perhaps well, there's hope for a gold medal even more!

Long time no post

Lots ppl have been asking me this question...

"What happen to you, simon?" they would ask...

"Simi??" i would query them back...

"so long never update blog..." they would answer...

Good point... My blog is dying, and it's been donkey days since i last update my blog... So, what's happening to me??

Well, the only explaination i could think of is that morning, i wake up, go work, and ever since i took over 3 person's job, changing of office location, orders picking up, going meetings, doing deliveries, after knock off, is go home sleep, or go out, and when the computer's on, i been using the time for Mafia wars, especially with the new country " Moscow" just came out to conquer, there's simply no time to go to blogger.com and type all these nonsense...

Understand?? No?? let me summerise the summery.

I am simply too lazy to go update my blog.

Got it??

And today, i saw this news...

SingTel wins rights to EPL, ESPN STAR Sports
By Channelnewsasia.com Posted: 01 October 2009 0806 hrs

Bye bye starhub cable, hello singtel mio??

Pity the ppl who just signed the starhub cable contract to watch the EPL and ESPN, and now, they have to sign on new contact with Singtel mio plan and carrying on the existing starhub cable.

Especially the coffee shops, the pubs which now have to switch sides in order to retain their customers.

Politics... the never ending war between singtel and starhub... And yet, i still dun really see the effectiveness of this war to us as consumers...

I think i shall still stick to my present life style of being not a football fan... It saves me a lot of trouble.

Merlion struck by lighting

Chinese have this saying...

"You don't respect, scold or beat your parents, you will get strike by lighting."

I am wondering what had happened between the merlion and his/her parent? Wait... do you know the merlion's parent?? you don't??

Think.. Any other place in Singapore that has a bigger statue of Merlion than the one at the Merlion park? The one that can stare at you, beam at you with green lasers?

Yes.. the HUGE Merlion at Sentosa...

Dunno what i am talking about??

Read this...

Merlion statue at Singapore River struck by lightning; suffers slight damage
By Claire Huang, 938LIVE Posted: 28 February 2009 2219 hrs
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/412182/1/.html

SINGAPORE: In a rare incident, Singapore's longstanding icon, the original Merlion statue at the mouth of the Singapore River has been struck by lightning.

One witness told MediaCorp Radio's 938LIVE that orange sparks flew when lightning struck between 4 and 5pm at Merlion Park.

Staff in the vicinity said they heard an explosion followed by a loud thud when broken pieces fell to the ground.

About 30 people dashed into a nearby restaurant for safety.

Other onlookers continued to take photos of the 36-year-old tourism icon.
- 938LIVE/vm

STRUCK BY LIGHTING!! OMG!!

That is the hotspot for tourist, and local people!! And people could be easily be injuried... Thank god, there's no news of injury.

So, since this incident, this has given us some answers about some queries.

1) We now know that Merlion is a conductor of electricity.

2) We now know why Merlion keeps on vomitting.

3) We now know why Merlion is so pale.

4) We now know why Merlion is so popular...


So, here's what might had happened to the Merlion at that time, if you got the angles correct...

Setting fire on a MP

Know the latest shocking news lately??

One of our MP (Member of Parliament), Mr Seng Han Thong from Yio Chu Kang got 10% burns on his body after some idiot poured thinner on him and set him alight at a charity grassroot event... Also burned is Chairman of Chu Sheng Temple, Aw Chui Seng.

MP Seng Han Thong in stable condition after skin graft operation

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/401836/1/.html


Well, thankfully, both of them are in a stable condition.


So, after this incident, i came up with some (stupid) suggestions to prevent the similar things from happening.


1) All guest and public who are attending events or meet-the-people session will be scanned for flammable liquids, lighters and matches. Those found with procession with those will be banned from the events.


2) All Security personnal for the VIPs are to carry a fire extinguisher with them, beside their other standard equipments.


3) All VIPs must wear fire proof clothings when attending events.


4) Open flames are not to be used for shows where VIPs are present.


5) VIPs must travel in a battery operated cars, as petrol is flammable.


6) Caterers cannot use open flames when setting up their food for the events. They only can use electrical heaters, or have cold dishes.


7) SCDF fire fighters and hazmat teams must be on standby at the event whenever the VIPs are around.


Hope it helps.

Lots updates coming up!!

Have not been blogging much recently...

But that's gonna change soon... Too much photos and stuffs happening the last weekend on the 12th and 13th July 2008.

So much that i ran out of space on my 1 gb card.

And gonna sort out all the bleddy photos and gather my thoughts and do a bit of self reflection before churning them out all into words in they blog.

So, stay tuned!! Most prob updating again tomorrow night.

Meanwhile, i am pretty much brain dead, and i can hardly open my eyes.

So, the best medication for this "extreme sleepyness and fatigue syndrome" is to lie down and have a good sleep, which i am planning to do right now...

Good night, folks and take care!!

Back to school??

It seems like i am back to school, studying...

The long lost feeling, which felt so good... Studying days...

Recently, i have been thrusted into a research project tasked by my boss, and here i am, going headlong, chionging straight into it, on top of my other duties in office.

It's 2030 hours now, and i am still in office, searching for more information, and it's feels so good to realised a major dispute in the reports of the journals, and searching for more information on that matter.

Seems like i am back to my Uni days, which i took part time, working and doing my research projects.

At least, i am doing one of the things which i always wanted.. To be a researcher... And i don't even have a MSc or a PhD...

Ahhhh... that long lost feeling... The headaches, the eyes sore, the lack of sleep etc...

And i am having a headache now..

So much journals to read through...

So much information to digest...

So much important points to take note and remember...

And yet...

It's so little information to work on...

I am going to be a very busy man...

Points to ponder

Something i read in the Talkingcock.com website, and they did raise a few issues that's worth pondering and some crappy jokes as well...

From:
http://www.talkingcock.com/html/article.php?sid=2590&mode=thread&order=0

Worth pondering...
1) How come the fridge inside got light, but the freezer dun have?

2) Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?

3) Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

4) Why did you just try singing the two songs above?


Additional from me...
5) Why you cannot lick your own elbow?

6) Why did you just try licking your own elbow?


Singapore jokes
1) Will we kena cancer after passing under so many ERP gantries?

2) How come Ngee Ann Polytechnic is NP, but Nanyang Polytechnic is NYP?'

3) Why do we kill people for killing people to show that killing people is wrong, and yet we say we are doing right when we kill them?

4) How come we’re scared that offering ordinary people more money will make them not want to work, but giving millionaire ministers a fat pay rise gives them the incentive to work?

Hit and run fatal accident

Oh shit...

I am involved in a hit and run accident... It's fatal accident, i think... I did not stop and check on the casualty.

The first accident i got into with my new ride...

Damm...

That fellow was standing in the middle of a deserted road in Lim Chu Kang, undecided which direction to go to, and i was approaching that poor victim.

I slowed down and horn that fellow once.

And that idiot was still standing in the middle of the road, obviously undecided what to do.

And all the while, i was still moving forward...

At last, when that idiot wanted to move away from this hugh monster with 4 wheels, it was too late...

I heard the awful sound of machine hitting flesh, and i saw that poor idiot being tossed away.

I sped on... I did not stop at all.

And when i returned to the scene of the accident later, i could not find the body. All i can find is this... another poor soul of a hit and run fatal accident...


Damm... this is the second time i got into a hit and run fatal (i guess so) accident... And both casualties are the same...

The first time, the idiot flew into my van, head on. I guess that bird was trying to find out which is harder, my van or his head.

Poor birds...

Being Frustrated

Having lots thoughts recently.

Having lots reading up of research papers recently.

Having lots revision of poly text's recently.

Having lots work to be done recently.

Having lots clearing up at my office desk recently.

Having lots duties recently.

Having lots decisions to make recently.

Having lots pissed off moments with my internet service provider recently.

Having lots trainings recently.

Having lots deep thinking talks recently.



In other words, i have been very busy recently...




Should i revert back? Or should i remain?

Should i be hard hearted? Or should i close one eye?

Should i carry on ignoring? Or should i start wacking?



There are many ways to get the things done. The hard way, the soft way, the good way, the bad way.

If all does not work, then what's next?

I don't own you anything. I gave you chances, you did not change. I taught you, told you, spoonfeed you, you did not change. I scold you, you started crying, but you did not change.

I tell you, you never listen
You listen, also dun understand
You understand, also never do
You do, also cannot do well.

As much as I hate to do it, there's a need for me to do it.

Damm you for putting me in such a position.

Tired out totally

Am physically, mentally, psycologically, spiritually drained... Super duper shagged... So much things, so packed, till sometimes, i find myself grasping for breath...

And to top it all, the damm internet connections problems came back after a couple of days of working flawlessly...

Dunno what is happening to me. So much duties that i feel totally drained out. Taxing me off of whatever energy i got, to an extend that i can actually totally forgot about one of my friend's housewarming party today!

Of course, being a friend, i went down to his housewarming party after the end of duty, and after sending the members back, which almost cause me to fall asleep at the wheel while driving.

I think i am suffering from multiple duties fatigue syndrome. (MDFS).. for 3 straight weekends in a row saw me doing duties, and attending a course.

AED course, NTU bike rally 2008 in the first week.

ACID Camp in the Second week...

NUS Archery in the third week.

And still got the NDP duties, TP rockamania 2008, NUS Run, and others upcoming events.

And every time i went for a duty, i always ask this question to myself... "What the F am i doing this on a weekend when i can rest?"

Call me stupid or idiot, but i know that no matter how much "complains" that i am bladdering now, if there's a duty that needs help, or needs manpower, and if i got nothing to do on that day, i will go.

You can call me dumb for wasting all my weekends chionging duties when i could have gotten a rest, but i still will chiong duties... At least my weekend is more interesting than sleeping those days away.

That's me.

Like the chinese song that i like very much...

(Translated)
I believe i am who i am,
I believe in myself,
I believe i can touch the sky when i raise up my hands...

Okie... i am bladdering nonsense again... MY brain is absoluting dead.

Will post the photos taken these few days in my next post... (Hopefully)

Problematic problems

Damm it...

How come it never rains, but it pours?

Why is it problems always like to rendezvous together, be it big, small, troublesome, unnecessory, man-made by some idiotic arsehole...

And after all those problems rendezvous, all come looking for me together??

So much problems to settle!!

Damm it... I hate Mondays...
