This is a hand written ‘ad’ about babysitting which i found on the noticeboard. This board has a broken alkalic panel, been vandalised at the bus stop and somehow it is illegal to put up any ads like this without consent from the authorities. It’s format is rather more like a piece of note. The language is a mixed of chinese and engish-a little unusual. Even the style is very sincere, very genuine. She even included her (bad) experience of parents cheating on her, not paying her etc thereby demanding a upfront deposit of $300 (cos she’s afraid people will ‘cheat her’)

Just felt her writing is like some scribbles that looked like some abstract graphics from far :p

I love this soundtrack in the movie ‘Dirty Dancing’ – not just this soundtrack, the movie also:) In the 90′s, I remembered going to movies at the old cinema Lido (now a cineplex). With my classmates especially Ching Sian and we often hang around Orchard Road then went for McDonald’s together and those days were really with lots of laughters. That used to be my kind of Saturdays’ activities after our extra cirricular activities. We joined the uniform group called Girl Guides so sometimes in the late evenings we will attend camp fires organised by other schools’ guides or scouts:) Those were the days….

Have a good weekend!

The more difficult to reach, ”must be” a better fruit?

This mentality is very strange in Singapore. In fact, I dun think it is something we are proud of. This mentality even has a name called ‘Kiasu-ism’. Can you believe it? Even the Wikipedia has information about it!(Read what Zsolt feels about this mentality)

On theme day of November, Kim wrote very nice comments to me about what she heard about Singapore, being very forward looking in many aspects. I was glad. But being a Singaporean, sometimes I dun see eye to eye with Kiasu Singaporeans. This behaviour – it’s very annoying and irritating behaviour:( I dunno why only Singapore is so famous for this? And it can be such a vicious cycle as many parents are teaching their children the ‘wrong doings’ with bad examples set. It is not gracious at all.

Why can’t our people be recognise as more ‘world-class’ people?

These lamps are unique in my eyes…
They are not found on the streets or in the outdoors,
They are part of the different lamps placed intentionally in series of 3′s.

I wonder why in threes’?
