Dance like no one's watching

Everytime it rains, ants take shelter in my toilet and they don’t leave even when the rain stops. So annoying. I hate ants. I hate cockroaches. I hate all sorts of bugs. Argh!

So the hot topic today is how our ministers’ salaries will be cut. I’m quite indifferent about it. After all, bringing down their salaries isn’t going to increase mine right? If people feel they’re earning too little, then they should focus on finding ways to increase their income, be it find a new job or [...]

I don’t mind checking the work of my subordinates (in fact, I’m more than happy to do so). I don’t mind helping my boss prepare or check through presentation slides or tender reports because that’s part of my job. But it irks me when I have to ALWAYS help another colleague, who’s supposed to be [...]

English has been the official language in Singapore for the past 3-4 decades. It is also the primary language used in schools.

I think drivers in Singapore are car snobs.  Whenever I drive the Kia Rio, I get harassed, tailgated, etc.  When I drive my dad’s Passat R36, however, no one bothers me.  If I signal to change lanes, I don’t get cars speeding up to block me.  What’s with that man!  I’m still me you know?  [...]

Fetsi: Hi Miss.  I received your e-mail regarding the Channel News Asia app.  I understand that we have advised you 2 possible fixes, i.e. to wait for the next available software update or to download the app from Ovi [...]

This must be the best Taiji move I’ve seen coming from a technical support centre.  Can’t solve it – delay it.  Check out their latest reply to my issue. ====================== Ref#1-11411140618 Thank you for emailing Nokia Careline. Since the application you are referring to is pre-installed, we suggest that you try to wait for the [...]
