Namewee: Last New Year
posted on
Namewee's new year song "Last New Year" reminded me of my own maternal grandparents.
My Ah Gong was already gone way before my birth while Ah Ma followed suit not long after I was born.
The only impression I had of them is through a yellowed photograph which Mum has kept in the photo album.
As I have never experienced being doted on by them, I would be so envious whenever I see my classmates having a Ah Gong or Ah Ma to come pick them up from school.
Isn't it a bliss to have a grandparent to throw little tantrums to?
If your grandparents are still around, do learn to appreciate them before they are gone.
I know I will.

This is the story of a Mum who single-handedly raises her son by washing laundry for others.
Despite how busy she is, she would always make it a point to have her meals with her son everyday.
All she wants is just being able to spend more time with her son.
"Ka fan"? she would often ask.

As years gone by, the child grew up.
With work and social life, it became his turn to be so busy that he hardly returns home for dinner.
Mum is then left to have her meals all by herself.
When the son returns home for the Lunar New Year, much to the delight of his Mum, he finally realised the meaning behind "ka fan".

Now, when was the last time you had dinner with your Mum?
Have you ever been so tempted to bring a puppy home each time you step into a pet store and seeing those rambunctious puppies vying for your attention behind the window?
Sure, puppies are cute but have you ever wonder where they came from or even how their parents were being treated?

Punggol East By-Election
posted on
Timelapse of Workers' Party's final rally by Jake Wang
In a couple more hours, the results for the by-election of Punggol East would be revealed.
Which of the four candidates would emerge victorious after nine days of vigorous campaigning?
Would it be:
a) Koh Poh Koon, "the son of Punggol" from the ruling party People's Action Party (PAP),
b) "Jeya baby" Kenneth Jeyaretnam from the Reform Party (RP),
c) Desmond Lim, former protege of Chiam See Tong from the Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA), or,
d) Lee Lilian, the sole female contender in this by-election from the Workers' Party (WP)

Whoever it may be, I only hope the residents of Punggol East exercise their voting rights wisely.
That aside, is anyone waiting for Yam Ah Mee tonight? Kee Chiew!

今早开启电脑,就惊悉资深艺人“阿南”逝世的消息。
他是因为心脏病在今天凌晨三点五十分在陈笃生医院与世长辞。
“阿南”,原名钟耀南,是一名著名的歌台艺人。
除了在主持界深获好评外,他也曾参与多部本地卖座电影如《钱不够用》,《吓到笑》,《鬼也笑》等等。
他的逝世无疑是本地娱乐界的一大损失!
南哥,永在怀念中!

Giving a helping hand does not have to be made very complicated.
You can start doing so in your daily life by giving up your seat to someone more deserving; sharing your umbrella with someone on a wet day; or simply brighten up someone's day by sparing a thought for them.
If helping others could spread some warmth and happiness to your heart, why not?
How wonderful our world might be if we care a little more about the people around us?

Qualifications Of Men: KBS Family Choir
posted on
Among the many missions the cast of Qualifications Of Men has undertaken, my favorite has to be the choir ones.
In the midst of training for their Triathlon episode, the cast have received their third choir mission which is to take part in the 2012 Busan Choral International Festival.
It is an international competition with teams hailing from Latvia, Thailand, China, Singapore, Philipines and Korea among others.

The theme this time round is "Family" and they have enlisted the help of Maestro Gum Nan-Se as their conductor and to pick the new choir members to join them.
Among the families turning up for the audition are celebrities including the parents of Cha Tae Hyun of My Sassy Girl fame.
Yet another senseless accident that could have been prevented.
In the wee hours of 22nd December, a motorcyclist was caught beating the red light at the junction of Woodlands Ave 6 and 7 near Admiralty MRT Station.
He was going so fast that he actually mowed down a female pedestrian who has just begun walking across the road.
The impact tossed her into oncoming traffic while the motorcyclist continued on his way.

Winter Solstice And End Of The World?

Happy Winter Solstice, everyone!
Better known as Dong Zhi (冬至) here in Singapore, this festival is widely celebrated by Chinese everywhere.
“冬大过年”,Mum would say.
In fact, the significance behind Dong Zhi is much more important than the Lunar New Year but people nowadays do not bother with traditions and customs anymore.

With effect from Sunday, 16 December 2012, Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange will cease to serve the residents of Bukit Panjang.
Existing bus services will be re-routed and call at additional bus stops.
The closure is to make way for a new air-conditioned bus interchange that will be ready in 2015.
As I was meeting someone at the nearby Bukit Panjang Plaza today, I thought I would take some photos of the interchange for memories sake and it seems that I wasn't the only one toying with that idea as I spotted several others doing the same.
There would be a total of 11 bus services affected.
For more info, please check out the SMRT website.

Thye Hong Hokkien Mee
Fried Hokkien Mee (or simply Fried Prawn Noodles), is a popular local dish well-liked by many Singaporeans and tourists alike.
With a mixture of thick rice noodles and yellow egg noodles, this noodle dish is first fried over a high flame then stewed in a savory broth till the sauce seep into the noodles.
Throw in some prawns and bits of squid then dish it on a plate (preferably with a Opeh leaf in between) with some sambal and a lime by the side and there you have it, a scrumptious serving of Fried Hokkien Mee.

The Accident Outside ION on Friday Night
posted on
I was at Orchard Road last Friday night (07 December 2012) taking photos of the Christmas decorations when I came across this accident.
This black car was flipped on it's back outside ION across the road from CK Tangs. By then, a patrol car was already at the scene with the police directing the traffic.
The Manhattan Pizza Co. which is famed for it's XXXL pizzas in NYC has found it's way to our shores here in Singapore.
Thanks to Daniel, I had won myself a e-voucher to redeem a free 20" pizza.

As usual, I always procrastinated till the very last day of the voucher's validity before I actually made my way down to Orchard Central where the pizzeria is situated.
The place was surprisingly empty when I arrived there on a weekday afternoon. It is located at basement 1 beside Gong-Cha, where MOS Burger used to be.

Similar to his previous productions (The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, etc), Frankenweenie too has a dark and gloomy theme to it's storyline.
His moment of glory was shortlived, however, when Sparky dashed onto the road in pursuit of the ball and was hit by a car.
