Cocky Singapore 15-year-old blogger, top Singapore twitter user

2009-06-24T10:34:16+08:00

I was actually quite surprised that my tech blog was selected as one of the finalists in the second Singapore Blog Awards without even doing any promotion on Twitter, Facebook or even my huge network of local friends. Most of my friends said that I will definitely win the SG Blog Awards but I cannot guarantee the success. One of my adult friend even told me that “The Blog Awards need me more than I need them.” Well, this seems quite true but I still want to win to attract more local readers to my blog.

No Sports Please, We're Singaporean

Together with my friends, I have qualified for this international unicycling race in Nova Scotia, Canada. 2 weeks prior to the Youth Olympics announcement, I’ve applied for a grant...from the Singapore Sports Council. I was told that her department only dealt with extreme and adventure sports and “single-wheeled bicycling was more of a traditional sort of sport”.

Recommended by Anonymous Coward: "Despite all the attention to sports in recent weeks due to the Youth Olympics, there's still no change in the Singaporean mindset with regards to niche sports.

Fire Aftermath - a boy recalls his experience when his flat caught fire

Town Council is helping- and has helped with cleaning.

Mr Palmer, the MP of our constituency will be coming down tomorrow- Mum wasn't feelin' too well today and re-scheduled the visit.

The electrician would come at 9AM tomorrow.

Cleaners would arrive around 12PM, if memory still serves me well.

Nice Jia Ru volunteered to help me from the morning. I owe her big-time for that.

I would have to call YJC tomorrow, and inform my CT.

Remember the BMT gathering photo that sparked a big hoohah on my tagboard? The one with the baby very high up in the background?

Apparently, my other BMT friend had the photographer take the same shot with another camera.

Wanna do a comparison?

Logically speaking, Elle could be living a life like yours right now if she didn't get married and have a baby. And logically speaking, if you got married and had a baby, you could be living a life like Elle's.

Distasteful 98.7 FM Shock Jocks

alvinism — 2007-04-13T17:12:14+08:00

Cassandra Eng said:

Host of the morning show, the deejays were supposed to do an interview with four finalists of the FHM's Girl Next Door 2007 Competition. What was meant to be just another interview soon escalated into a 'Who can unhook your bra without taking off your top in record time' competition.

I think what was done was not only distasteful, but extremely uncalled for. The very idea of a girl unhooking her bra is ironic to the fact that these are the very same girls vying for a Girl Next Door title. I'm seriously put off.

From the 1000 members, three finalists have emerged. They once again competed in front of the media to vie for the air ticket to Europe, where they would have to race against AT&T Williams Drivers, Alex Wurz and Narain Karthikeyan. In Europe however, there will be no more simulators, but a real race track and a real F1 car. First to try was Alvin Koh.

Recommended by alvinism: "Singapore is sending someone who has only 'drove' on a F1 stimulator to compete in Europe. Rather peculiar... anyway,this article is to introduce the guy to everyone. Hope he do us proud."

The Messenger - Singapore-style

The show, directed by the Pang brothers, was a typical Asian horror flick with 'Hollywood-ism' injected into it.

It is actually quite hard for me to remember the details now. That's how unmemorable the show was. Apparently, it's about how children can see things that adults cannot.

The only part that vaguely made an impression on me was when the mother realised that the little boy was staring at some empty corner, and she asked him what was there.
