I've not been blogging for a while due to my continued recovery from a long bout of flu and a horrendous 5 weeks at work. Although I still tire too easily for my liking, I still found time to check out this youtube clip, play some Wii and watch the very enjoyable Mainland China production of Crimson Blade aka Sword Stained With Royal Blood. I hope to talk about a bunch of things soon but we'll see how I feel.
Meanwhile, please check this youtube clip out. It may not make sense to you if you're not Singaporean. And if you're Singaporean or from the region, don't get too offended. It's just a fun way of putting into song the little quirks of being Singaporean. I love it because it shows that Singaporeans can laugh at themselves and we've been doing so for many years in spite of popular Western portrayals of us as brain-washed boring robots. A lot of the observations are true too, although I didn't get the James Lye VR-man one or the Margaret Chan one.
Anyway, enjoy it. =)

A friend emailed this to me. I thought it was hilarious and thought I'll share it with whoever is interested.
WORDS WE BAN IN PRE-IMPRESS EDITING

These are the submissions to its yearly neologism contest, in which
readers are asked to supply alternate meanings for common words. You
might find it interesting:-
The winners are:
1. Coffee (n.), the person upon whom one coughs.
2. Flabbergasted (adj.), appalled over how much weight you have gained.
3. Abdicate (v.), to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.
4. Esplanade (v.), to attempt an explanation while drunk.
5. Willy-nilly (adj.), impotent.
6. Negligent (adj.), describes a condition in which you absentmindedly answer the door in your nightgown.

16. Circumvent (n.), an opening in the front of boxer shorts worn by Jewish men.
The Washington Post's Style Invitational also asked readers to take
any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or
changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are this
year's winners:-
1. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.
2. Foreploy (v): Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.
3. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.

5. Inoculatte (v): To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
6. Hipatitis (n): Terminal coolness.
7. Osteopornosis (n): A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)
8. Karmageddon (n): It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.
9. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
10. Glibido (v): All talk and no action.
11. Dopeler effect (n): The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter

your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

in the fruit you're eating.

Beautiful Cooking - Episode 11
Check out this ep of Beautiful Cooking. Hilarious. =)
Ada Choi, Rain Li and some HK actress/singer?? called Kary compete in this good natured and light hearted cooking programe. The show is hosted by Edmond Leung, Alex Fong Lik Sun and Ronald Cheng I think. I'm not sure if Ronald Cheng is a host because this is the only ep of Beautfiful Cooking I've seen and he was sick even though he did participate. The judges for this episode is this guy called Justin (not sure who he is), Leo Ku and Roger Kwok.
