Trivial Talk #4 - What Are The Keys To My Heart? How Sinful am I?

Want to know the keys to my heart? Here's a pretty accurate picture:

The Keys to Your Heart



You are attracted to obedience and warmth.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

Your ideal relationship is traditional. Without saying anything, both of you communicate with your hearts.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.
What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Will gals like guys like me? Am I really that nice as the results claim? Hmmm.....

I'm so glad that I only have 37% chance of meeting the Devil. But why must I die in a duel?????? Hope I die as a hero.... =P



Your Deadly Sins



Envy: 60%

Pride: 60%

Greed: 40%

Lust: 40%

Wrath: 40%

Gluttony: 20%

Sloth: 0%

Chance You'll Go to Hell: 37%

You will die in a duel.

gloBsiP - Bloggers and filmmakers in hot soup

Recently, bloggers and filmmakers have been having brushes with the authorities, the establishment and the who's who. First and foremost is former A*Star scholar cum graduate student Chen Jiahao, who is currently in the US. He landed himself in hot soup by criticising A*Star's "Fail-lip YoYo". Till now, I don't understand why Mr YoYo wants to take legal action against Chen Jiahao, but refuses to reveal the details on Jiahao's blog which triggered it. Typical Singapore bureaucrat response, "remove and unreserved apology, if not I sue". Is he scared that the allegations cannot stand the tests of public opinion? Read about it in the article in TodayOnline. (Look online if you want more juicy stuff...)

Independent local filmmaker Martyn See got his video withdrawn from the Singapore International Film Festival, after the censors called it a "party political video". If his video is political, how about the "Upclose" series on Mediacorp TV? PAP political video? No... it is just an "educational" publicly-funded programme! Or so they would say... The Films Act is under serious gunfire as a result of this case. Read more in the filmmaker's blog: Singapore Rebel's Blog, or at Singabloodypore's Blog, at here or here.

Geek Speak #7 - U.S. scientists create self-replicating robot - Yahoo! News

I'm not prophesying here. But I can't help wondering if this will lead to possible extinction of the human race, just like in the Matrix? Interesting development....

gloB+uNes for the Day - Waiting For You (胡彦斌)

This song isn't exactly new. But I don't know why, I just find it hard to resist playing it again and again.....

Waiting For You (胡彦斌)



金色的舞鞋, 伴着音乐, Baby你的眼睛 是一弯 深遂的湖水, Oh忽明忽灰 掩藏不可思议的美, 让我晕眩 在悬崖边, 谁知一睁眼就不见..., waiting for you, I'm waiting for you, waiting for you kiss me at the night, 为何你... Cinderella, 留给我一望无际的思念, waiting for you, I'm waiting for you, waiting for you come here to my dream, 牵着你... 不断旋转, 一直到黑发变成了银线, waiting for you, waiting for you, 直到永远...

gloBsiP - Curvy Kelly beats Jolie to be "world's sexiest"

Some eye candy for a change here. Came across this in the English site of China's Xinhua news agency. Not a shocking article, except it was published in a China site. The Straits Times really c.m.i. in comparison. Enjoy people....

Trivial Talk #3 - Buses and SMaRT Darts

My sharp eye for details and interest in public buses has allowed me to spot a new bus model on the roads of Singapore. One fine afternoon after lessons, while I was waiting for my bus to arrive at Buona Vista, I saw a bus at the bus stop on the opposite site of the road which seems somewhat different. Wanted to take a photo of it but damn my mobile phone's camera sux... Nvm, the internet might give me some answers. Indeed it did:


The exterior of the bus. Wow!


The cosy and bright interior.

No wonder they are applying for fare increases. Damn.... This latest round of profiteering is started by this SMaRT President (So unlike our former people's President Wee):

People, throw darts now!!!!!!!! Anyway, the latest round of fare increases just further illustrates that Singapore's public transportation firms are actually working as a cartel. Competition? My foot...

P.S. Some background information about the SMaRT President. She is SMRT President Saw Phaik Hwa. Single and available.
