The WORST CLASS of tourists

This page would not go down easy for ?others?. Their rude behavior, their loud noise pollution, their disgusting habit, etc, are some of the many ?scenes? that I have witness. Who are they; they considered themselves as the ?mighty power rangers? in the Asia right now. ?Chixx?.


Chapter one; my first encounter was in the Thailand, Suvarnabhumi Airport. Due to my job, I have to travel very often and last minute. I took Airasia Thailand back to Singapore, a mistake I shall never make twice. Most budget airline would only let you check in one hour or two before the flight time. As I was queuing in the line, the ?barbarian? appeared in groups of 20s starts jumping queue. Their mentality was that; hey I have one country-man in the queue, lets us join in in-front of him and ignored the rest in queue. Well, all the 19 mother-fuckers starting jumping in. Never mind the passengers are queuing behind; never mind their passports & lug gages are still not ready, just get inline of the queue first. So where are their lug gages or rather their 1 year supply of ration? It is at the back of the queue and they expect the airport employees to carry for them! Cartons of oranges, carton of fruits, carton of instant noodles, bags of clothing (bags so big that you can hide a child inside), bottles of waters, who knows wtf they are thinking. When the airport employee told them that the lug gages are over-weight, they tried to eat some of the oranges on the spot. It was funny at first looking at those ?village men? gobble down the oranges until you see those mother-fuckers start throwing the orange?s skin on the floor and use the bottles of water to wash their hands openly. NO FUCKING SHAME. Airport employee tried to stop them from dirtying their airport asked them to throw away their rubbish at the bin. Their replied ? one fucking care less look and carrying on doing it. Security guards had to call in. After they are done with their nonsense, they repack their oranges in their luggage. So what happens to the original cartons? They dump in right there, no intention of throwing it in the rubbish, no intention of clearing it away, just left there and expect some Good Samaritan would removed it for them. WTF are they thinking, you came as a tourists, spending money in the country and finally leaving shit the airport!?! Wonder if they ever flush the toilet after they shit or just walk away.


Reason 2 why I would not take Airasia Thailand again. Finally about to board the plane, queue again. This time is bad, not only Chixxmen jumped queue, they dashed and pushed their way, like cattle cows. No security guards to help now, the Airasia employees hardly could control the crowd. Someone should tell those ?cows? that the plane is not going to take off without them. I was pissed that I fucking push them back right at their face. Airasia Thailand?s employee did not even check my pass when I went through the gate. How convenient.


Reason 3 why I would not take Airasia Thailand again. For budget airline, is free seating. Got a seat near the exit. The minute the plane takes-off; I wish I could parachute out the plane and swim back to Singapore. They talked so loud across the plane like they owned the entire plane; walk up and down, behaving like monkeys in the zoo. One even changed into pants openly. Those poor air stewardesses had such a hard time controlling these monkeys. One even agreed with me this is the worst flight ever. They hardly could set still through-out the flight. Telling them to sit still and be quiet is just like telling them that China is an eco- friendly country and cares for the enviroment. IMPOSSIBLE! Another highlight on board the plane is that Chixx-men never see instance noodles on plane before. One Chixx-man starts eating, 5 would crowd around him. Foods & drinks on board of budget airline are not FREE. Some Chixx wankers tried to order to food without paying, those free-loaders try to argue with the air stewardess even for a cup of coffee. Taking off shoes & socks on the plane, going to toilet without closing the doors are some of the many disgusting acts I witness through the freaking journey. 2 hours flights back to Singapore seem like an eternity. All I need is a parachute or ?a M16 to shoot these mother fuckers down. Oh did I mention that they tried to use mobile phone on board of the plane?


When the plane finally touched down, the COWS are back to live. The plane is still in the moving and they are already trying to get their luggage. Air stewardess?s face is so black that charcoal seems to be whiter. The plane?s door open, they rush like there is no tomorrow. God bless that I made it alive to Singapore. I?m so glad that I live in Singapore. One could only imagine how are they going to host the Olympic? Is just like opening a can of worms but is for the world to see. You can bring a Chixx-man out to the city but you can?t bring a city out of a Chixx-man. ?Made in China?, I will definitely stay away from this brand for now.

AdSense still rocks

For some " weird & unexplained" reason I decided to check out my account with AdSense since I have not been blogging for the past 2 years. True enough, I have a small amout of 'token' pending and reason being pending is because I have moved house AGAIN and forgot to update my address. They have send a letter of payment released with the pin code to my old address.

Now I have to wait for another 3 - 4 weeks for the letter and another 3 - 4 weeks for the payment. Well, at least AdSense still generated $$ for me. Old school rocks.

Best AIDS video

This will better inspired me to use a condom than the 'made in Singapore' AIDS campaign. Why show the ugly side of AIDS when you can show the brighter side of sex. Think positive (or kinky) when it comes to sex and rubber.

What do you have to say.

Enough said. Gwen Stefani TVC just launched worldwide, will be coming to Singapore soon. Here's the preview

Banana's bench by SMRT

Who the hell approved this design? What were he/ she thinking, that Singaporean?s ass has suction like 3M products! I can?t even sit still for 5 mins w/o slipping off. Perhaps an instruction manual/ poster should hang above the bench showing the proper way of placing your ass.

Citibank advertises on Blog

So the much talk about Citibank Clear Card finally advertises on blog (on my right). The card that strips away minimum income requirement, targeting at tertiary students or those who just started work. Now if that is not confident of Singapore GDP (gross domestic product)what is? Wonder how much do I get paid?

Nike ad is more fun as it link to their Nikewomen website. Here you can match the top and bottom of the model with just a click. Sounds naughty.

Mr. Miyagi reveals my ?dirty thought?


I?m been clean for 4 months (of course I cheated a few times), at the very minimum I can say I?m no longer a full-time smoker. I have to confess there is still this ?dirty thought? inside my head that craved for a puff especially when I?m stressed out. This makes me wonder, how long it takes to kill every single nicotine molecule in my body. Am I going to be ?dirty? again?

I was reading an article (Men?s Health)written by Mr. Miyagi; I quit. What?s so interesting about this ex-smoker story is that it happened to all smokers, in a very detail and disturbing fact. Is a ?been there, done that? phrase for all smokers. He literally illustrated the scene that we have shamefully did and played it all over in our face. *Ouch

example:
Walk half an hour to the convenience store to get an extra pack of cigarettes.

when there aren?t any cigarettes left and for some reason you can?t go out and buy some in the next few hours ? you pick all the stubs from the ashtray, mutter to yourself how fortunate you are to be a messy slob, because there always are stubs in the ashtray for a situation like this, and then light one of them up, being careful not to burn your fingers, take the one and only smokeable puff from it, throw it away and pick up the next stub to smoke. Until all the stubs are gone. Then you hunt around the house for other ashtrays.

Like I said it before, is always the weaker mind that surrenders. If you made up your mind that you do not need nicotine to ?function? like a normal human being, you would hardly even feel the urge monster wanking you inside -out you.
Quote ?whatever the ?method? you use to quit smoking, it all boils down to whether you want to quit or not. Once you?ve really made up your mind, it becomes easier than you think.

For now, the battle between my ?dirty thoughts? and my jedi?s mind is still on going. Hopefully the good will win and May the force be with me. Writing this post makes me feel like smoking again..

School bullies posted on YouTube



The worst part of this incident is that someone actually video it and post to YouTube. It clearly highlights that school bullies come from all age, genders and school. Not too sure how this school is treating this incident but it does indicate the seriousness of school bullies and may even consider as a juvenile crime. It is sad to know that Malaysia Goverment is taking this lightly and ignoring the fact that is happening in their own backyard.

CHINA Press reported a YouTube clip showing a bully slapping a schoolgirl for reporting about truancy.

The incident took place in a vacant classroom in Ipoh. The bully was heard asking the girl if the slap was hard enough.

The bully warned the girl that those who had skipped classes were her ?people? and not to report the matter to the school.

The girl, who was silent, was seen weeping in the empty classroom which was guarded by two other girls.



MOE should draw out preventive methods to curb school bullies or this would happen to school in Singapore. The old punishments methods, detention, see the parents or counseling clearly do not work on this new-aged of students. There should be laws to govern against school bullies and should be action without hesitation just because of their age.

Who will I marry - Part II

Dear ?Who will I marry?, I hope you have happily decided the man of your (mother?s) dream or least has even more choices of men by now. Have you ever thought that one fine day, someone would discover your blog and write about it or even your adoring blog would be featured in Tomorrow.sg and Ping.sg. Are you open to the idea of man declaring love through email or romantic proposal through blog? Whatever has happened to you, I applauded you for your courage to start a blog about the search for your ?Mr. Right?, sharing it with the whole world (thanks) but rest assured that you are not singular in facing the battle.

God is busy with other girls finding Mr. Right, you turn will come soon.

'Who will i marry' Please help this girl.

By far, this is the most captivating blog's name I have read. I have no idea who she?s is, what she does for a living but what she wrote does make sense (with a dose of wicked humor) As said in the header, this is a journal about a girl searching for man for her dream (charming). The is a very interesting blog.

Dear world, What?s up with this marriage thing? Why do women (especially Asian women) come with a use-by date of 29 years of age give or take a wrinkle or two.

I?m 25 years old this year. I?ve done the calculations. My friends are starting to remind me. I have two years to find the man of my dreams.One year to go out with him and make sure he is in actual fact ?the man of my dreams?. And another lee-way year just in case I want to bail. Or he does.

Of course if that happens i?m pretty much screwed. I?ll be defined as?put-on-the-shelf,? ?old maid,? ?lesbian? and God-forbid- the worst of the lot?Aun-ty.?So, here marks my quest to find ?The Man?. I know it?s trivial. What about world peace, what about famine, what about poverty, you ask? Sure all those matter. But I guess what fun would solving the worlds problems be if we didn?t have someone to share them with



God help this girl.

The truth about reservist

Just came back from my 10 days reservist, which is nothing more than gathering with old friends, getting sun-burned, wasting time by waiting for who-knows-what. Another thing; do not expect any old reservist to wear an army uniform like a regular or NSFs. We always unbutton the top 2 buttons of our top and hardly even fold into no.4.

As my reservist cycles are coming to an end, I have noticed this particular ICT (In-camp-training) is slightly different. Some of the things that have changed are;

1) Old friends are losing hair early age.
2) Old friends are getting divorce then married (2 different girls)
3) Old friends are getting divorced (predictable)
4) Old friends are getting rounder like a pregnant woman, getting fatter as the year goes, totally disturbing (Fei G)
5) Fewer days out in the field and more time wasting by sleeping.

6) No camera mobile phone in camp is allowed(as long as you don't get caught, you are welcome to bring in digital cam)

Because of the relaxing training schedule for this reservist, I do look forward to my next year call-up. Hope it would be another waste of time like this.

PS; Biatch, Nike shoes are really not meant to carrying out long distance relationship with the owner. I just tear another pair of Nike shoes while I was running for 2.4km. I could have got Gold if is not because of that?.. who knows.

CommunicAsia 2007 just got punk by 1.46s video

Princesshrin, you have sexually harassed CommuniAsia 2007 but beautifully sold CommunicAsia 2008 to the next potential client. Singapore goverment is thanking you for that.



But why that music???????

Good Bye Joost and Hello Veoh

Finally got a chance to watch the movie Hostel 2, thank to Veoh. Not so great for part 2, never-the-less I do not have to wait for the released in Singapore and is free. The writer-director for the part 2 is Quentin Tarantina so imagine Kill Bill version but with more naked scene. I still prefer Hostel 1.

With Veoh, you get more new movies, more anime and a lot more soft porn. Similar concept as Bit Torrent but download time is much shorter (took me less than an hr to download the whole movie) and better viewing qualities too. Veoh also has a good mix of youtube concept, with short video clips submitted by users.


Veoh is the new way to watch and publish Internet TV. Discover
new programming that isn't available on regular TV, cable, or satellite. Watch
it in a full-screen, high resolution, 'TV-like' experience. Even use a remote
control to sit back and enjoy the shows.

Here is a preview of Hostel 2

Singapore version of Paris Hilton

Are rich people mentally challenged or they just born stupid? To prove this theory, lets us look at Paris Hilton and the headline in today Straits Times 7 S?porean on yacht held in Kalimantan. One get in trouble on land the other get in trouble in sea but one thing is common about rich people; when they get bored of their life, they would get into trouble with the law and when they get caught, they would turn to their government for help. After all they pay more taxes than normal people, so they do get the privilege to be stupid.

"SEVEN Singaporeans made up of prominent businessmen and professionals are being detained at a naval port in the Indonesian province of West Kalimantan for the past two weeks.

The yacht they were on, the Sea Shaw, is owned by the Shaw Foundation's Shaw Vee King, who is also believed to be among those detained, according to The Straits Times today.

The yacht is believed to have strayed into Indonesian waters without going through
immigration and port clearance"
.


I am sure yacht ?strayed? into Indonesia water...the GPS is not working, captain does not how to read map, moonsoon season and he just got his boat licence. Does he know that, besides getting clearance in Batam, a cruising licence is required to sail into Indonesia water. You can?t just happily sail your yacht out without approval, permit, and paper works just because your yacht name is ?Sea Shaw?.


The funny thing about this and also a good ?Mastercard? advertisement;


2 weeks detained in a luxury yacht,
?Fine? for trespassing in Indonesia water
Making our Ministry of Foreign Affairs work overtime,
All this is because they rich folks wanted to go for scuba diving.
Pricleless.

The Best Father's Day advertisement


And why it was not featured in Straits Times, bus-stop or mrt in Singapore?

Why tag me?

It is like when you are walking down the street when suddenly someone from the back taps on you, except this happens in the virtual world. I was doing my regular read on a famous blogger (DK) when I found out I got tag.

The mission of this 'tag' is to find a symbol that represents you. Seriously I can?t find any symbol that represent me, looks like me or any of my body parts. So I decided to use a symbol that correspond to my mood right now.



1) Recently I have decided to quit smoking and so far so good (1 month of clean lungs)
2) This symbol remind me to stop smoking.
3) I have seen this symbol since I picked up smoking, 13 years later it still around.
4) I used to find this symbol annoying but I do appreciate it now.

I guess the relationship with this symbol only apply to smokers; he/she see it is annoying but when a non-smoker see it, is no big deal. Small little symbol big signification.

I hope I got the tag thing right. Just wonder who is the originator that started the symbol thing?

May Day Concert and silly pictures

Got free tickets to watch May Day concert. Strange enough their concert is held at Singapore Expo, Max pavilion hall where Sunday service is held every week. I heard of May Day but don?t recall any of their songs. If you do not know May Day, just think of them as the Chinese version of Maroon 5. May Day = Maroon 5, this is what I was told. I have to say I do like the May Day, singing Hokkien songs and still look cool, not a lot of people can achieved that.

Ooh, here they come .. Huh, what the hell...I cant see leh


Ok, start screaming... Ok enough..not that loud.


Oi, can sit down or not! Fine, u cant hear me#&^$(6 *&


seeing 'little man' and dolphin. Ok, free ticket dont complained too much










At the end of the show, I see more back view of fans than the band themselves. Great show really. I love Wu Yue Tian ? May Day.

My 1st achievement in 2007

YES, I PASS MY IPPT TEST. One miserable week of training, one bad knee and one pair of lousy shoes I have accomplished a new achievement for 2007.

Must remember is always mind over body. Like what she said ?2.4km is all about endurance?, coming from a female standpoint who never took 2.4km test. Amazing how she figured out.

2nd achievement to be confirmed. I have not smoke for a month. Keep it up, *pat on my shoulder.

2007 achievements still have a long way to go. Thinking of setting an 'achievement tab' in my blog to keep track.

New comer in China Town

No doubts the brand new Buddha Tooth Relic Temple at South Bridge Road is turning heads. The majestic building looks like from some fiction movies and makes you wonder who are the people living inside. It is amazing how this temple looks at night with, definitely another toursim attraction in Singapore. The night view of the temple does bring a new life to China Town.








''funny looking man 'insisted' to be in the picture''

Apple see 'red' in sex toy, IGasm.

This is funny news. Think Steve Jobs is getting bored with his life, perhaps an IGasm will put a smile on his face ;p. Apple sued sex toy maker, IGasm because of the ad; the neon-pink posters depict an underwear-clad female silhouette holding an oval white device with two cables - one connected to a pair of white headphones, the other heading down toward the female's knickers.

Listen to their sales pitch, "Go at it hard and fast with a pounding drum 'n' bass track or chill with an ambient classic."

If this great invention gets to the hands of China, Steve will be a very busy man.

Wonder if I place an ad selling ?I?ce-cream, will Steve sue me?

Be cautious of job recruitments.

May, June and July are the peak months for jobs opening but be extra cautions. For example, this recruitment ad featured in st701.com.sg seems to be potential. So not true!


I see, to fence off police just incase.









So many different companies? names but where is the company that advertised for the above position?







A sofa chair that collected a ton of dust. I am sure you need all the ''fu'' you can get.






Be surprise to find out that they are the sole distributor of a popular slimming product in Watson and Guardian. Do not judge a book by its cover just has a deeper meaning to it.

Good advertisement in Bugis MRT

But someone should tell Nokia that graffiti and law binding signs do not mixed well. No Smoking and No Food??
