A letter to Mcdonalds Singapore

KC said:

There's something in your spice mixture that not only stings the tongue, but also the stomach, then the intestines. I felt horrible the whole day after lunch, with this burning feeling in my tummy gnawing at me. It was as though the chewed and digested Mega Mcspicy burned whatever part of my body it was in contact with.

This cumulated into several bad episodes of very painful diarrhoea at midnight. Being medically trained, I knew that it wasn't harmful yet so I did not see a doctor.

A quick search on Google shows that I'm not the only one.

MC King (蓝顉嘻)’s Funeral Video

Alvinology said:

omy carried a special report on MC King’s funeral. You can watch the vodcast HERE.

R.I.P. dude.

I read on Tomorrow.SG where some joker commented: “I WILL TAKE MC ON MONDAY AS A RESPECT FOR HIS DEATH”.

At first, I thought the statement was distasteful and disrespectful of the departed. Then again, after thinking it through, given MC King’s public profile as a talented comedian, he may be able to appreciate such humour.

What do you guys think? How about a MC King Day next Monday where everyone take MC to commemorate him? Is this evil?

Local Comedian, MC King (蓝钦熹) is dead!

Alvinology said:

Just happened this afternoon... our condolence.Details of his death is fuzzy and the media seems to have been caught by surprise, judging from the report on xin.sg. Whatever the cause, Singapore just lost another talented comedian.

Singapore Acts as Haven for Stem Cell Research

New York Times said:

You can’t buy Wrigley’s Spearmint gum in Singapore. But human embryonic stem cells? That’s a different matter.

Last month a local company, ES Cell International, claimed to be the first company to commercially produce human embryonic stem cell lines in a way that makes them suitable for clinical trials. Researchers can buy vials of stem cells from ES Cell over the Internet for $6,000.

Sorry for the absence, but angry doc was on MC.

Interesting how efficient a consultation between two doctors can be…

'Expensive' Day Off

Cubicle said:

Then came the shocker... medical fees: $50. Twice my previous visit's. "Damn... must be the jab." Well, apparently not, as I read the receipt more carefully: Consultation Fees, Injection, Medicine... and what's that...

The attempted justification of an overpriced medical bill
