this has to one of the biggest oxymoron of singapore.
found on the website "Uniquely Singapore"
with the intro text...
"For the Orchard area, these are the nightspots that are strongly recommended:
In no particular order,"
the site highlights 5 nightspots... with the same picture of "Shaw Centre"
so much for "uniquely", "in-no-particular-order"
either that... someone working for them.. loves shaw centre.

quotes of da day: Singapore
[Category-Quotes] [Category-Sillypore]
in 1993: [url]
Singapore is a relentlessly G-rated experience, micromanaged by a state that has the look and feel of a very large corporation. If IBM had ever bothered to actually possess a physical country, that country might have had a lot in common with Singapore. There's a certain white-shirted constraint, an absolute humorlessness in the way Singapore Ltd. operates; conformity here is the primedirective, and the fuzzier brands of creativity are in extremely short supply.
Now: [url]
Many local people in Singapore seemed to feel the need to half-apologize to me about the Singapore government. And every last one of these lamenters was, insome sense or another, affiliated with the Singapore government.

rant of da day: singapura ekonomics 101
[Category-Sillypore]
just needed to put this down... it's as simple as this....
What % of publicly listed company in singapore, is govt linked?
let's simply things.
First the govt privatise certain sectors.
1) privatised govt sectors get listed. we, the citizens of singapore, pay for those shares. (they own assets to used to belong to the govt/ country)
2) hey! those assets were funded by the govt.... which are funded by us in the first place. (keep the count: we have paid twice for the same assets.)
3) now the trend is.... these "companies" sell their assets/ properties to REITs... and guess what.. who's buying those REITs? us.... baby... still us...
is that good biz or what? single asset, 3 times over.
think about it.....

rant of the day: new hairstyles
new 'do
Originally uploaded by stonz.
this just happens to everyone right?
you get a new hairstyle at the salon... and that is probably the last time you will ever see it... you wake up the next day/ after 1 wash... you just forced to style it, like 364 days before that.
"freestyle", "natural"... it doesn't matter what the hairstylist tells you.. you can't do it..
here's the place... to store your "one-time" hairstyles.
