Magneto's my favorite X-Men mutant. Not Wolverine, the wildly popular pick amongst fanboys. I've always felt Logan's powers are somewhat limited. Those talons are tame, if not lame. Not Cyclops, either, with his out-of-charge optic beams. And certainly not the paraplegic Professor X.
Following our cultural visit, we headed over to The Esplanade and 'stumbled onto' the ongoing Wishing Sphere Project. Joining many others at the courtyard, we penned our wishes for the new year and (yours truly) also drew some silly sketches. So fun and meaningful, I say!
It was always my dream to date an ah lian. For some reason, they seemed to me as better dressed - in a cheap, slutty way, that is - and having better bods. A lot of them also looked prettier than the 'regular' girls.
SambaVulc soccer shoes from adidas @ VivoCity. A comfy fit and worthy successor to my battered pair - although I'm no football phenom :-P
Speaking of board rooms, I was reminded of something the 'Indian chief' said (during our last 'G7' meeting) in regards to SEED Institute's impending monopoly of the preschool market - something along the lines of "from womb to tomb" and "from cradle to casket". Interesting ways to put it!
Can someone tell me who this person is? I just can't seem to put my finger on it. Say, the wax figures in the SGH Museum don't pale in comparison to Madam Tussauds', eh?
This goes out to the uncle manning the sliced fish bee hoon stall @ Raffles City's The Food Place by Food Junction. Mister, if I prefer to have my (fried) fish slices in a separate bowl from the bee hoon and soup, then this jolly well is my choice as a customer. Who're you to question my preference and refuse my order? Don't you know that customers are always right? It's people like you who undermine Singapore's service standards. (Unless - OMG - your fish aren't fresh and require hot soup to conceal the staleness! Puke!)
Going to the firing range is by all means no fun for me. It may be an adrenaline rush for aspiring snipers who acquire marksmanship as easy one would a McDonald's meal, but for 'bobo (or elephant) shooters' like myself it's pure living hell.
I don't know about the neighboring islands of Indonesia (it was a bit foggy), but on the afternoon I took the ride - or rather, flight - on the world's largest observation wheel I could clearly descry hordes of Liverpool F. C. fans hogging the National Stadium and waiting for The Reds to rout our home boys. (FYI: 1 revolution ≈ 35 minutes)
The 44-year-old Undertaker is seeing the 28-year-old Michelle McCool. Unreal! He's old enough to be her uncle, for Pete's sake! I know there are more extreme cases of May-December romances (especially in Hollywood), but this is bad enough. (Or should I feel happy for them? Maybe I'm just jealous...)
With the completion of Marina Reservoir, Singapore's catchment area now stands at a third the size of our island. That means we're self-sustainable in terms of water supply and no longer need to 'see Malaysia's face' (read: Mahatir and his outrageous 'bomb threats') for a drink of fluid.
My sis, apparently! She's got, like, the most photographic memory (of the most trivial things) among anyone I know – from childhood stuff to books we read for Grade 7's literature class, such as this almost unheard-of 'non-seller' by one Sylvia Sherry. Absolutely amazing.
Singapore Polytechnic must be the only local education institution with its own dedicated, direct (covered) link from school campus to an MRT station (Dover) that was specially constructed in 2001 to serve students there.
After a hearty group dinner (I didn't get to sample the cereal prawns!), we sashayed over to Level 8 of Cathay Cineleisure, where the next 2½ hours were spent belting out golden melodies at K Box.
Check out this 'horndog' - willy and all - looking forward to some 'action' at the second-floor lobby of the Singapore Art Museum.
Mas Selamat bin Kastari, alleged Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) leader of the Singapore cell and terrorist suspect, has been recaptured by Malaysian authorities (well done, UMNO!) in Johor (probably while eating murtabak) on April 1, 2009, following an audacious escape from Whitley Road Detention Centre 13 months ago that left our Ministry of Home Affairs wholly embarrassed.
Singaporeans lack courtesy and social grace, that much I can tell you; otherwise, we would've retired the Singa lion a long time ago. In our country, we do use the words 'please' and 'thank you' very often, but usually in such context: "Please fuck off, thank you." I rest my case.
Never been a lover - rather, wearer - of polo tees, but when a nice one (read: pleasant design/colors and comfortable material) comes along I won't mind giving it a try. All the more so if it's a gift I can't refuse :-)
At the Chairman's invitation, some 320 guests turned up at the NTU Alumni Club @ Slim Barracks Rise (off North Buona Vista Road) to celebrate his second doctorate degree. Food was catered by Gayatri Restaurant, music was provided by a Filipino band, and perspiration - lots and lots of it - was supplied by my beaten-up body. Eww!
I don't usually find WWE Divas alluring (Chyna, anyone?), but the former Duchess of Dudleyville (and DANCING WITH THE STARS finalist), Stacy Keibler, was an exception. And now, current top-tier female performer Kelly Kelly (above) of the ECW brand is another. At barely 22, the curvy lass from Jacksonville, Florida, still has a long way ahead of her in this business. With dedication and fan/company support, she could, in future, become the next Keibler. Who knows?
Escape @ Pasir Ris' NTUC Downtown East may be "360 degrees of fun" and Singapore's largest outdoor theme park, but when it showers it's 'groundhog day' and 'back to the saddle'.
Although I don't belong to one particular faith like Buddhism or Christanity, I do believe there's a God. The thing is, am I theistic (i.e. belief in existense of a personal God as creator and ruler of the world) or pantheistic (i.e. belief that God is All and All is God, and that God and the Universe are one)?
The Mind's Eye, Quantum, Nano Technology, Waterworks, i-Space, Marine Alcove, Genome, World of Energy, Climate Change, Web of Life, The Human Body, Living with Viruses, Eco-Garden, Robotics Learning Centre, Amazing Electron, Discovery Zone, Kinetic Garden...
What if - and I'm just supposing what if - my Hogan grew to this size? What would we do? What would Jerry and Mandy do? Would the latter still dare to bully her kor kor? I'd think twice!
Deep fried fish fillet, calamari, oysters and prawns served with chips and garlic rice...the mere mention of these 'cast members' of the $33.90 Manhattan Seafood Platter for Two 'super show' makes my stomach growl with hunger! Argh!
