哈利坡特代言扭蛋?Harry Porter found at capsule machine?
第一眼看到,还以为我眼花... 走近一点后,发现果然没错... 这个本土制作的扭蛋机器里的t-shirt模特儿真的是鼎鼎大名的哈利坡特!话说“人怕出名,猪帕肥”,一个人太红,还真不知道自己的照片会被移花接木到哪里去!哈利坡特人在英国,死都不会想到自己的照片会出现在新加坡这个小岛上的一间小咖啡店里的一个一块钱扭蛋机器里!

我们的礼貌怎么了... What happened to our manners?
巴士车上,地铁车上
门开就冲了
不管别人还没有下车
袋子放了,脚也放了
霸位大过天
孕妇老人全都靠边站
我搞不懂,我们到底怎么了
简单的礼貌
是否那么难懂
我想不透,我们的礼貌怎么了
活了那么久
普通常识都搞不懂
老的也是,少的也是
挖鼻剪趾甲
个人卫生推到最极限
如果他们继续生产
后代多又多
新加坡有灭亡的危险

"The Campaign to Confer the Public Service Star on JBJ"... Must Watch!
Just caught the drama "The Campaign to Confer the Public Service Star on JBJ" at Drama Centre Theatre, and YES, it was good.
Imagine this... 2 performers, Pam Oei and Rodney Oliveiro, have to act through the whole drama in 2 hours. But there are more than 10 characters in the show! So... in the first half, Pam switched between several characters, like the PA of JBJ, a Malay secretary, a NUS student etc. And in the second half, Rodney had to be the DSP (Deputy Superintendeant, SIngapore Police Force), PPS (Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister), a press reporter etc. Not easy right! And of course, I must say they are really good at it!
The story of the drama is actually quite straight forward. An NUS student and President of the Association of Students for Self Expression (ASS) took lead to launch The Campaign to Confer the Public Service Star on JBJ. Erm... not THAT JBJ. And of course, twists and turns are expected in this ambition of his. Then... something happened (sorry, I can't say what in case any of you are watching it soon). After that something happened, a civil servant is tasked to exercise damage control. And that was when she realised how difficult and how easy some things can happen in the civil service, the red tapes and any other tapes.
As promised in the promo materials, you can expect to find some political jokes in the show, like the white elephant, NKF, girls banned from selling t-shirts. So if you've been keeping yourself updated in current affairs, you will definitely enjoy the sarcasms!

欠$还$... Owe $ pay $
在去拜访朋友的途中,无意中看到这四个字... “欠$还$”。看来最近大耳隆的环境还不错,已经不再用红漆而改用富贵一点的金漆了!再注意看一下,第二个“$”字和第三个“还”字还写得挺端正的。可见现在的大耳隆的学历还不差哦!

How to apply Logic in Singapore
Deduction is a basic approach used in Logic to arrive at valid conclusions. In deduction one arrives at particular statements from general statements, and premises are the informative statements on the basis of which conclusions (or deductions) are made. In the correct kind of deductive reasoning, the conclusions follow necessarily from the premises that is given.
Premise 1 - All companies other than charities are only interested to make more money from their customers
Premise 2 - Transportation companies in the country are not charities
Deduction - Transportation companies in the country are only interested to make more money from their customers
Premise 1 - All teachers shall not talk about espousal of homosexual values
Premise 2 - Gay teachers talk about espousal homosexual values
Deduction - Gay teachers are not teachers
Premise 1 - Police shall be deployed for all riots
Premise 2 - Action figures and toys are seen in riot
Deduction - Police shall be deployed to stop action figures and toys in riot
Note: The above deduction follows necessarily from the two premises given. It should be noted, however, that the process of deduction does not say anything about the truth of the premises themselves. The premises must be true before they are used for any deduction because if the premises are invalid, the deductions that necessarily follow will also be invalid.

新加坡故事... A Singapore Story #4
早上,就当阿达和阿丽在吃早餐时,门铃响了。
“这么早会是谁呢?”阿丽边疑惑边走去开门。
当阿丽带着两个男人走回饭桌时,她显得更疑惑了。
“陈昆达先生,我们怀疑你跟一起谋杀案有关,请你跟我们回警局协助调查。”蔡警员就是其中的一个男人。
“好的。”阿达镇定地回答道。“阿丽,打电话给黄律师。”
下午,李警员边很生气边和同事吃午餐。
“他妈的!最讨厌那些整天请律师的有钱人了!十问九不知那样,什么都不回答!”蔡警员气得把饭都喷出来了。
“没办法啰,现在只能等法证组他们找到更多的证据了!”吴警员打着李警员的肩旁安慰他。
“这次无论如何都得破这件谋杀案,不然又得被李Sir骂了!”
“是啊!上次你被网民拍到在警车里睡觉的照片,还传遍互联网的事件,李Sir好像还在生呢!”
“都是你啦!”蔡警员边打吴警员的头边骂。“打包午餐也要那么久!害我等到睡着了!”
傍晚,被保释在外的阿达带了一笔钱到了机场。
移民厅的职员翻了翻阿达的护照后,然后微笑着把护照还给阿达。阿达收回护照,不慌不忙地走去闸门准备搭前往香港的班机。
第二天早上,移民厅受到了指示说陈昆达被禁出国。

新加坡故事... A Singapore Story #3
半夜,阿达突然从床上起来,慢慢地走到洗手间里。不知为什么他满手都是鲜血,所以他得赶紧把手洗干净。阿达扭开了水喉,开始洗起手来,也开始想起了那天所发生的事情...
那天,阿达很生气地跑去阿萍的家找她。阿萍,五十四岁,是光明清洁公司的副董事,也是阿达的顶头上司。阿萍在光明清洁公司已经做了二十几年了,经验丰富的她可说是大老板的左右手。阿达在公司少说也做了九年了,从一个小小的督工慢慢地爬到了他现在经理的职位。但是他在现在的职位已经做了四年了!他似乎觉得他在公司的地位就打算停留在这里了,而阿萍似乎是主要的原因!
那一天,阿达很生气地跑去找阿萍,因为她否决了他的建议书。
“为什么你不在这份建议书上签字?”阿达把建议书丢在阿萍面前的桌上。
“建议书?就是建议改用熊猫牌清洗液的那份?”阿萍不屑地看着阿达,更不屑去碰那份建议书。
“是啊!你知道吗?如果我们改用熊猫牌清洗液的话,能替公司省多少钱啊!”
“省钱?哼!那你又知不知道行内的人都知道这个熊猫牌清洗液的化学成分会伤害员工的手?”
“他们不是有用塑胶手套吗?”阿达不服气地说道。
“那万一他们忘记用呢?不行!我们的员工多数是老人家,我们不可以冒这个险!”
阿达觉得这根本就不是阿萍否决这份建议书的原因。阿萍坚持不接受他的建议,一定是因为她不想他在大老板面前立功!
“阿达,你还是花多点时间看管好那些员工吧!听说最近又有人投诉我们的员工把沟渠里的垃圾扫了出来之后又丢回去!连员工都管不好,还写什么建议书!”
“去!你现在是怀疑我不会管员工啰!你别以为我不知道,我一直升不上去就是因为你整天在大老板面前说我的坏话!”
“喂!你在胡说八道些什么啊?”阿萍也开始气了,还拍桌子站了起来。
“我没胡说八道!就是因为你这个老不死的占着副董事这个位子,我才没办法往上升的!”阿达还继续骂着。
“对对对!我就是要霸着这个位子!你没听政府说吗?要延迟退休年龄呢!我看我还可以做到七十岁呢!”
“你这个死老太婆!”
查!啊~
阿达回过神来的时候,阿萍已经躺在血泊中了。血一滴滴地从阿达手中的小刀滴到地上。那一把原本是阿萍拿来开信封的小刀。
“阿达!你在干嘛?你洗手已经洗了要一个钟头了!你没事吧?”阿达的老婆阿丽很担心地抓住阿达的肩旁。
“血啊~ 我洗不掉手上的血啊~”

新加坡故事... A Singapore Story #2
自从阿达杀了阿萍之后,他每天都人心惶惶地过着日子。好在报章上只是用了极少的版位来报道阿萍的案件,所以也没引起什么轰动。
然而就在他最烦的时候,阿达的弟弟阿昆又来跟他借钱了。阿昆经营动画光碟生意已经有几年了,但是公司的营业额还是很差,他的公司似乎是靠跟阿达借钱来维持的。
“阿昆,我看你还是别卖动画光碟了!现在这样多人喜欢玩电玩,你就从中国进口一些翻版的电玩商品来卖吧!”
“哥,不行啦!我已经很久没做翻版的生意了!”
“对!你是改邪归正了所以才开始卖动画光碟,还说准赚钱呢!” 阿达不屑地讽刺了阿昆。
“我是被互联网害的呀!现在的小孩不是从Youtube上看动画,就是干脆用Bit Torrents下载,有的还甚至从外国的online stores买更便宜更新的动画光碟!气死我了!”
“哼!这些死小孩竟然那么拽?”
阿达喝了口咖啡,静静地想了一想,突然“哈!”了一声,把阿昆吓了一跳。
“阿昆,你去找黄律师谈,看可以告那些下载动画的小孩吗?”
“什么?告那些小孩?” 阿昆怀疑自己听错了。
“是啊!你想想,有多少个小孩触犯版权用Bit Torrents下载动画?如果你每个小孩都发一封律师信,而每告一个小孩就可以罚他三五千的,那里有多少钱啊!” 阿达奸笑地望着阿昆。
“那... 那... 那好多钱啊!比我卖动画光碟赚的钱还多哟!” 阿昆高兴得都得口吃了!
“听好了!如果黄律师说告得下的话,你就立刻找专人查这些下载动画的小孩,然后命令那些ISP把这些小孩的资料给你,如果他们不肯的话,你就花点小钱吧!”
阿昆听了阿达的话后,立刻就开心地拿起手机拨打黄律师的电话号码。阿达也对自己的建议非常的满意。
另一方面,警方在阿萍的家里找到了阿达的毛发...
