Article (here). Hmmm…it’s articles like these whereby headline-creativity should perhaps be exercised. That’s one of the little joys of reading the news. Let’s see now. If I were to write the headline, maybe I would say…“Bird Smuggler Has His Wings Clipped”?

Chestnuts Vs Vlee?
Monday, 6 September, 2010
Nadal vs Federer. Kobe vs LeBron. Mayweather vs Pacquiao. Contador vs Schleck. Chestnuts vs Vlee? Not that we’re trying to conjure up some kind of perceived rivalry here, but it’s hard to ignore the similarities between two of Singapore’s biggest current sketch-comedy-parody shows, especially so since both productions decided to hold their annual runs at [...]

Worst Movie Cliches
Thursday, 5 August, 2010
I found this clip really funny. My favourites are “The Trip” (No 10), “The False Alarm” (No 4) and “The Comedic Pause” (No 3). Lately I’ve been analysing about how to create humour in writing. As in, what makes a piece of writing funny? And I realised that usually, astute observations based on the truth [...]
Put To Sleep
Monday, 2 August, 2010
“One of 6 deer which escaped Night Safari put to sleep” One of the six deer which escaped from the Night Safari last Wednesday (and which was subsequently retrieved) has been put to sleep.

Oh Deer!

Ok this is pure comedy gold right here folks. “Six deer escape from Night Safari” Article (here). When I read this my mind just went spinning round and round thinking of the comedic possibilities.

I once wrote a post (here) about “12 Types of Facebook Statuses”. Here’s a post about the 10 types of Facebook profile pictures you’d usually come across. This topic might be a bit more sensitive, so pardon me if ever I touch on any raw nerves here. Anyway, here’s the one truth I always live [...]
Confessions Of A Viral Video Creator
Tuesday, 29 June, 2010
I have a confession to make: Last week I created a viral video. Just for the fun of it. As far as I’m aware, it has now spread like wildfire, and people are posting the video on their Facebook walls, and many random strangers have started messaging me on Facebook telling me how much they [...]
Hi, My Name Is January

There are twelve months in a year. January February March April May June July August September October November December Out of these twelve months, I’ve noticed that the above three months in bold, i.e. April, May, June, have been commonly used as people’s names. And these three names are all feminine. Has anybody ever wondered [...]
