Boy, the press sure is having a field day with the fact that Naomi Campbell has begun her five days of mopping at New York’s Sanitation Department, as punishment for hitting a maid with a mobile phone. Just look at the number of articles there are on Google News!

Final Countdown: Day 3 Of 19
Wednesday, 21 March, 2007
Last week was a fantastic week. I was on MC from Monday to Thursday, cos of my wisdom teeth extraction. When I arrived at work on Friday morning 9am, before I could even start sifting through my 150+ emails, my boss calls me into the meeting room. “We have a crisis,” she started. Uh-oh, bad [...]
Titoudao…Go Go Go!
Monday, 19 March, 2007
Ah, the joys of local theatre! I’m not sure what the general public’s impression of local theatre is at the moment, but the avid local arts patron of recent times should find plenty of reasons to be extremely optimistic about the current and future state of this seemingly thriving local art form. Toy Factory’s fourth [...]
It’s The Final Countdown!
Monday, 19 March, 2007
So I finally did the deed last Friday. I submitted the letter (yes, that letter) to my boss. That means I have 19 more days of work to serve out. And in commemoration of this special event, I will keep a running diary to chronicle my working life and thoughts in these last 19 days. [...]
Running Gags
Saturday, 17 March, 2007
Good running gags are hard to create, much less maintain…but if you pull them off, then cult status would easily follow. One good example is the Google Doodle (y’know, the one where they change the look of the “Google” logo). Here’s a list of the holiday logos from Google in 2006. Another of my favourite running gags [...]
My Thoughts After Today’s Melbourne Qualifying
Saturday, 17 March, 2007
It’s awesome to see Formula 1 drivers doing their thing once again. Ferrari’s supposed “dominance” over the rest of the field didn’t exactly materialise at Albert Park, cos the McLarens were only just a shade slower. Looks like it’s gonna be a tight two-horse race this season between the Ferraris and the McLarens. Two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso is [...]
What Did I Tell Ya?!? What Did I Tell Ya?!?
Friday, 16 March, 2007
(Cover story of today’s Life! section, 16th March ’07) Note the headline. Then refer to my previous post on “Cheesy Headlines…”, written on 22nd Feb ’07. Now you know why I’m so cheesed off.
Bonus Article
Friday, 16 March, 2007
Chanced upon this article on Yahoo News just now: 3 in 4 S’poreans not satisfied with their bonuses: poll The main gist of the article can be encapsulated in the first line - “More than three quarters of employees in Singapore – 77 percent – are not satisfied with their bonuses.” Now I find this article rather amusing [...]
Wisdom Teeth
Thursday, 15 March, 2007
I just had my two wisdom teeth extracted recently. To my delight, it was a totally PAINLESS experience! Honestly, I kid you not. I felt no pain whatsoever. The dentist’s initial promise that the extraction is only as painful as the local anesthetic jab proved to be true. (You know how we should never trust dentists on [...]
The Laughing Dutchman
Wednesday, 14 March, 2007
Sometimes on the Class 95 Morning Express, The Flying Dutchman breaks out into this horrendous peal of laughter, and you know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of that creature’s laugh at the end of Thriller. (As you can probably tell by now, I’m not the biggest fan of FD.)
