End of 2010

Been neglecting this blog for quite some time... Reason being? I just couldn't find the motivation. It has been a damn bad year.. But then, we are approaching the end of 2010. Me myself has just gotten a new job, so let's just hope that we throw all the sueh 2010 behind with 2010 and look forward to 2011 with all the huat.

Happy New Year to everyone!!!

The girl that wrote bout sex in her blog

The 20 year old Singapore’s Poly girl known as Shila, is the owner of the now deleted blog “Shila’s Voice – Breaking the Silence”.

The citizen journalism website, STOMP, recently published an article from a STOMPer revealing some of the stuff which she probably shouldn't have written about on her blog

In an email to STOMP on 30 Nov 09, the STOMPer AK said, “I came across this blog, apparently belonging to a 20-year-old Singaporean girl from a polytechnic, who openly writes about her active casual sex life, even talking about having a foursome with her partner and another couple… Find it ironic that she writes in her blog about how she knows she has disappointed her parents, yet she posted her family photos in there, for all to see.”

Many attempts by local netizens to uncover her blog were unsuccessful as it appeared that she posted those articles more than one year ago, and had recently deleted her blog when she got STOMPed. The deleted blog’s original URL is: http://shila-lov3rgal.blogspot.com/

Painting needed

I need help on my flat!!!! I am moving out on the rental flat and the owner is complaining that the wall is too dirty (i am sure all those stains are from the prevoius tenant) and he wants us to repaint the hall for him. Any cheap painting company to advise? Do let me know. I need it urgently!!!

Monopoly? It's a Marketing Strategy from Macdonald!!!

Do you know that Singapore Macdonald have this so called Instant Win with Mononopoly promotion? It's really a very clever marketing strategy.. It makes you thought that it's very easy to win. All you need to do is to eat at Macdonald and to get the game piece, stick it on the Gameboard and if you have those that in the same position, eg. Bishan, Ang Mo Kio and Toa Payoh, you'll instantly win a ToysRus $200 voucher. If you get Marina Bay and Sentosa Cove, you'll instantly win $50,000 in cash.

It seems like a good catch, isn't it? But, from what I see, I suspect that in whole Singapore, there is only ONE game piece of Sentosa Cove and many many many game pieces of Marina Bay. This way, those that get Marina Bay will thought that they'll win $50,000 cash just by finding one game piece of Sentosa Cove. They didn't realise that there is only ONE Sentosa Cove. They will keep patronise Macdonald to look for the missing piece of Sentosa Cove.

Don't believe me? I am shortage of Toa Payoh, Joo Chiat, Sentosa Cove and Scotts Road. Ask anyone that have participate in this frantic search for game piece and they will tell you they lack these pieces too! Come on, the chance of winning is actually just like 4D or Toto, ONE IN A MILLION!!!!

These Children Should Be Striked By Lighting

"SIN Chew Daily reported that an elderly couple in Singapore who gave up their duplex to their son ended up homeless after they were chased out of the house by the ungrateful offspring.
The couple now call the staircase of a school their home.

The man, who was named as Lim, was a manager before he retired. He had a son and a daughter who lived in Jurong, Singapore.

Relating his ordeal to a secretary of the school, Lim said he and his wife decided to give their duplex home to their son as a wedding gift about two years ago.

The couple thought that they could live in the house with their son. He, however, decided to sell the property for RM960,000 to buy another condominium. Lim and his wife were then sent off to live with the daughter.

After a year, the daughter decided that they were no longer welcome and banned them from touching her children.

The couple could not enter the house after their daughter changed the locks to the house."

Making out in PUBLIC in Singapore??!!

Read this in STOMP earlier today. There are people who actually will make out in daylight and in SINGAPORE and in PUBLIC. What a damn suprise

XIAXUE VS BRADLEY FARLESS (PART 2)

They just never learn...

My previous post invited a string of responses from Siah Sueh's fans. Diehard fans, I suppose.

First of all, this is MY BLOG and I am free to support whoever I wish. If you are not happy with it, so be it. You can leave whatever comments you want. I will DEFINITELY publish it as long as it's not RACIST. Come come guys, this is what blog suppose to be, freedom of speech!!! Someone with no balls to leave his/her name has commented why I need a moderation at my blog for comments and dared me to publish his/her (or maybe a shemale) comment. I DID PUBLISH it anyway. This shemale doesn't realised that her goddess, Siah Sueh, also has a comment moderation on her blog. So WTF did you comment on my moderation and not hers? Some people are just ignorant. Let's just call them stupid. Doctor said that there is forever no cure for stupidness.. So don't bother to find cures for them...

These people are just fanatics. Look at the comments that they leave at my blog and at NINO's blog.

Now, do you guys know why I supported Bradley on this fight? Okay, I admit one of the reason is just because I don't like Siah Sueh (personal). Another reason is that i don't like the way she dragged others into this. If you hate Bradley for publishing your Angmoh Wannabe's look, then just critic him, publishes his photos and tell people that he's bold. Call him Botak Jones if you want. Why do you need to drag his parents and wife into this. Calling people Filipino and Maid. WTF did the wife did about you. You sounded so racist.

Anyway, for all the fanatic fans, just critic loh....

XIAXUE VS BRADLEY FARLESS

An interesting day!!!

While I surf the internet today, I noticed that the Singapore famous blogger's Xiaxue, is having an arguement with Bradley Farless (another semi famous blogger). The whole arguement started because of a posting by Bradley Farless on Xiaxue.

If you wanted to know more bout this fight, go and visit Xiaxue blog at http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/ (bitch, I am actually promoting your god damn blog).

P/s: Personally, I agreed with what Bradley Farless said. Don't tell the bitch okay, otherwise I might become another victim on her blog. Poor Bradley Farless, he had to delete his blog... Anyway, why this Bitch so chio? Picking up fight all the time.. First Dawn Yang, now poor old Bradley... In Dawn's case, obviously she lost... Then have to randomly pour sarcastic posting bout Dawn.. A real Bitch....

10 reasons why F1 race can be held at the new Johor Bahru CIQ

1. The long and winding road from Causeway to the Johor Bahru CIQ will whip up sufficient challenge that can even rival Monaco.

2. The Causeway can act as the Grid to form up (Cars to face Malaysia of course).

3. The Custom booths can act as the pitstops (But first, the HUMPs need to be removed).

4. Mat Rempits have already tested the course at full speed (howbeit on 2 wheels only).

5. Plenty of scenery.. you have the sun, sea and the Selamat Datang signboard.

6. Petronas can sponsor the petrol (optional, else Ferrari will threaten to withdraw from the race).

7. Milo can be the official drink sponsor (optional, else Red Bull will threaten to withdraw from the race).

8. Second Link can be used while the race is ongoing.

9. The traffic police can perform the role as the safety car driver (as they are used to escorting VIPs at fast speed).

10. Meshed fences has already been installed along the roads. No need seats. Spectators can just stand outside the fences and enjoy teh tarik while watching the race. And this will bring back the business to Jalan Wong Ah Fook!

Malaysia Citizenship Renouncing

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

So your application for Singapore Citizenship has been approved. What's next?
The process of renouncing your Malaysian Citizenship is as follows:

Once you received the approval letter from ICA, take the letter to the Malaysian High Commission (MHC) at 301 Jervois Road. Direct bus number 32 from UE Square or the bus stop next to the GMX Reverse Bungee at Clarke Quay.

You will be given an appointment date (usually 1-2 months later) for your renunciation submission. You will be given a set of forms and a checklist on what documents you need to bring along with you for your submission.

Do bring along your birth certificate (have it laminated) on your first trip to MHC as the type of documents needed would depend on what's written on your birth certificate.Next, on your appointment date, submit the forms, the necessary documents, and photocopies including 3 recent passport-sized photographs with blue background. You will be asked to pay S$6 for this stage. Take note that all documents are to be photostated in A4 size. .

Keep copies of all your Malaysian passports (including expired ones) and NRIC as these will not be returned to you. You will be asked to return in approximately 7 working days later to collect the renunciation letter and a certified copy of your birth certificate.

If you lost any of the required documents, do not just tell the counter staff that you cannot provide it as it is not available. They will request you to go and make a police report and it will cause you more trouble! So, get the police report ready if you are missing or lost any required documents.

This letter is sufficient for formalizing your Singaporean Citizenship, including getting your pink NRIC. The official citizenship renunciation document (Form K) will be ready only two years later - MHC will send you a letter when it is ready (the original birth certificate will be returned to you along with Form K). The ICA is aware of this but would still require you to submit the Form K two years later to retain your Singapore citizenship.

Please update MHC by write in to them if your mailing address has changed.
Form K is also necessary if you have funds in the Malaysian EPF that you would like to withdraw.
It is a hassle (multiple trips to MHC) but the consular staff is polite, and the instructions are pretty clear (and in English).

Altogether, there will be 3 trips to MHC!
Once it is processed. You will go down to MHC again in about 7 days between 2.30 - 3.30pm to collect the Renunciation Letter
You will get a copy of your Birth Certificate with 'Certified True Copy' from the Malaysian High Commission.

We will rather burn the bridge than to sell sand to...

Anyone following the news will know that Singapore Mentor Minister, is currently in Malaysia, visiting state officers and government officials. Initially, it was a great news for everyone as the outcome of the visit is very positive and it could signal more cooperation between the two country.

However, this morning, there was a statement from the Malaysia ruling party, UMNO that they will rather burn the bridge than to sell sands to Singapore.

A lot of people will wonder why the ruling party, UMNO hated Singapore so much. There has been no war between them and no direct confrontation. But out of nothing, there will be quote on Singapore.

The issue is not selling sand to Singapore but making use of Singapore as an external enemy to galvanise support for the larger agenda of Malay unity therefore perpetuating Ketuanan Melayu policy. You see Singapore is seen a Chinese bastion in Malay Archipelago and a bloody thorn in their behinds.

This is politic afterall...

Motorpay System (Singapore toll)

The guy who made the decision to use a prepaid Cashcard system for vehicle IUs to pay for Electronic Road Pricing is stupid. Because once you get near an ERP gantry, the slightest doubt in some idiot's brain will cause that moron to brake hard and you'd have an accident. On a 90kmh highway, you'd have a BIG accident, provided you're moving on those highways that are congested inspite of sky-high ERP charges. When in a jam, the slightest braking will probably cause a jam.

Since then, they have taken another step into a weird area. Now you can insert your credit card into the IU. You can register for that service at https://www.motorpay.com.sg/.
Everytime you get passed a Gantry, the ERP fees will be charged to your credit card and you make payment by the end of the month.

Get this straight: You don't actually put any credit card into your IU. You leave it empty, or leave your Cashcard in. The service is based on your vehicle ERP in-car unit number.

Now let's see what could go wrong with this system:
1) You sell the car, you forget to cancel the car's registration with Motorpay, you pay somebody's ERP for a couple of months before you remember.

2) You take a trip while your significant other maxes out on your card. Your earmarked amount runs out and you incur a fine everytime you pass a gantry.

3) You let your friend take your car for a couple of months, he racks up a thousand bucks of ERP, and you pay.

4) Suddenly, your credit card issuer blocks your card as you forgot to pay the credit card bill. You start getting a fine for every ERP gantry you pass through. Double whammy.

5) Cancellation of the service takes a week. You pass your car to your friend for a week. You pay the ERP.

All speculation, but valid ones. Welcome to post comments to correct my speculations.

From what I see, the Motorpay Web site sucks. The content is stupidly uninformative, with lousy crap content that nobody with my level of intelligence (pretty low, it seems) understands.

STILL, THE BEST WAY IS FOR LTA TO BILL YOU MONTHLY! I get multiple LTA bills per month, on a bad month, for insufficient balance in my Cashcard. If they're afraid of too much work, they would decrease the billing frequency immediately once they get rid of the Cashcard or credit card system, and just take note of my ERP gantry passes and bill me at the end of the month.

ALERT!!! DBS/POSB Bank Fake Website

Last night at around 8:20 pm, I tried to log on to DBS internet banking. I clicked on my Favorites and I was brought to the website below. If you are a DBS i-banking user, you will readily notice that this website seems to be different as it is asking you for your DBS iB secure PIN right on the first page. Typically, you will only be asked for the DBS iB secure PIN after you have successfully keyed in your User ID and Password. In any case, since I did not suspect anything wrong, I keyed in the three numbers required. After I have entered the numbers, a new webpage appeared saying that I should wait for the SMS One Time Password (OTP). I waited for a few seconds and none came.

That's when I suspected that something was wrong. So I called up DBS hotline and I was told that the website below is NOT their website. So DBS immediately cancelled my i-banking services and verified that none of my monies were transferred.

When I used my home computer and my colleague's office computer this morning to log on to DBS again, thankfully I was brought to the right website.

I think that either my office computer or DBS' website (or both) had been compromised. In any case, I sent DBS a print-screen copy of the website as well as details of the URL. They said they will investigate. The customer service officer said that there are some cases similar to mine that have been reported to them previously.

Why the crooked bridge?

The public should note that the latest Mahathir blast on the bridge contains no clear or strong justification for building the crooked bridge – no economic reason, no technical reason and most important of all, no balanced analysis of the pros and cons of building the bridge. The blog note may in fact be construed as just a naked appeal to primordial sentiment.

Hopefully, the new PM will not allow himself to be bullied by Dr. Mahathir but will stand his ground on this issue.

However, should the pressure from the Mahathir camp continue to grow and become difficult to ignore, one way of defusing it is to have full public disclosure of the crooked bridge project, its history, the major and minor players who have been involved in it, the findings of various feasibility studies dealing with it, various cost-benefit scenarios and not least of all, the financial ramifications of the project, including the payment of more than 100 million ringgit to the contractor for the decision to stop the proposal – a payment made despite the fact that the contractor did not do any physical construction work on site. Let the public be provided with all the facts of the project (much of which has not been available because of the operation of the Official Secrets Act) and let the public (especially competent professionals) help in the decision after a full and fair appraisal. If the crooked bridge is to be built, it must only be done because it is doable and in the best interests of the country and not just because the former Prime Minister wants it.

Let me touch on some of the insurmountable difficulties involved in building the bridge that should be part of the appraisal process when considering the crooked bridge construction.

1. One of the objectives for breaking up the existing causeway is to allow ships to bypass Singapore port which will automatically affect Singapore’s economy. That is why Singapore is not giving us the permission to break their portion of the causeway. As a result, Dr. Mahathir’s lobbyists have proposed building the crooked bridge.

2. The bridge must be high enough to allow ships to go under the bridge. For such a short span, the gradient will be too steep for any train to climb. Moreover, trains cannot negotiate sharp bends.

3. I remember reading that this matter was discussed in the Singapore Parliament. It was pointed out that if Malaysia did not maintain the railway for longer than 6 months, Singapore could claim the right of all the railway land in Singapore territory.

4. I also remember that when we tried to stop Singapore’s reclamation work, the matter was referred to the international court for the sea. The court decided that both countries have to agree for any development project within a certain distance from the boundary. I doubt if we can break up half of the existing causeway on our side without Singapore’s agreement.

As a final point, it is clear that in view of the global recession’s serious impact on the Malaysian economy, the Government must be more careful in spending the hard earned money of our Malaysian tax payers. This is not the time to pour money into resurrected white elephant or ego-building projects. All major projects need to be implemented only after careful and rigorous cost –benefit evaluation studies that should be open to public scrutiny. The practice of awarding large contracts without open competitive tenders such as was done in the case of the initial contract for the crooked bridge must not be continued. If an open and competitive tender system is the norm in the country’s procurement, I am sure that Dr. Mahathir’s cronies will stop pestering to build the crooked bridge because they may not secure the contract if they have to compete with other contractors.

The crooked bridge

During the Mahathir era, it spanned across the sky, making many think of it day in and day out.

During the Abdullah era, it was killed, making many feel at loss.

During the Najib era, it is resuscitated, making many gleam with excitement.

That, is the bridge in my hometown. The bridge of my dream.

This bridge, a crooked one, will span across the narrow strait, proudly overlooking Johor and Singapore on both sides.

In the artist's rendering, it is as beautiful as the dreamy fairytale world.

It even has an idyllic name, "the Scenic Bridge."

In the end the bridge is never built. And it remains very much the bridge of my dream.

By halting the construction of the bridge, we have compensated RM1.277 billion!

Former prime minister Tun Abdullah said the government was short of cash then, and the budget deficit ran as high as 5.3%.

He said the Cabinet had been discussing about this bridge over and again, and no one could understand why Mahathir had insisted to go ahead with the plan.

Frankly, I also didn't know what was in Mahathir's mind.

I only knew he was very unhappy that Abdullah had shelved the crooked bridge plan.

Again, I had no idea at all why he was so furious about it.

I only knew Mahathir has not been in good terms with Abdullah since then.

Mahathir later said, "I used to swear that I would not poke my finger into the new administration. I did try for some time, but after that crooked bridge incident, we have surrendered our sovereignty to our neighbour. And that is utterly disgraceful!"

He even said, "I could understand why if it were America. But now we are even scared of a tiny country like Singapore.

"I don't think he makes a respectable leader."

Now I know that this bridge entails more than just the intricate politico-business interests, but also our sovereignty and self-esteem!

Abdullah has left, and here comes Najib. And Mahathir.

Mahathir's brainchild is beginning to see some prospects of revival, thanks also to the strong endorsement from Johor UMNO Youth.

In an identical tone to that of Mahathir, Johor UMNO Youth information chief Khalid Mohamad said if Singapore did not agree to the plan, we could always build a crooked bridge entirely on Malaysian territory.

Khalid Mohamad claimed that the crooked bridge would bring more positive impact on Johor's economy.

But he failed to tell me whether this "half bridge," which can only be built up to the midline of the Johor Strait, would promote the state's economy, or send the economy back in time by half a century.

I am wondering whether the bridge of my dream is to be built with our economy in mind, or our politicians.

SINGAPORE PERMANENT RESIDENT APPLICATION

Especially for Malaysian working in Singapore, you'll understand how important it is to secure a PR status. With the PR status, it's easier for you to get job here in Singapore.
Some people will argue that they do not wanted to contribute to CPF (Malaysia's EPF), which they'll only be able to retrieve back after their retirement age of 62. Though the CPF cut from your monthly salary is quite high, 20% of your monthly salary and 14.5% from your employer, it worth it, believe me. Think further, you can use your CPF monies to fund for your HDB house in Singapore, take it as a form of investment. Unlike Malaysia, you can use your CPF's Ordinary Account to pay for your monthly housing installment. You'll also get a cut from your employer's contributions. And when you retire, you'll also have an amount of monies in your CPF's Special Account for your retirement.Then, if you fall sick, you can use your CPF's Medisave monies to pay for your hospitalisation fees. Medisave can also pay for part of your child delivery fees in Singapore.

Now, what's the procedure for the PR application? First, if you are not super rich to open a business in Singapore nor you are not studying in Singapore, you must be working in Singapore and must be holding S Pass or Employment Pass. If you are only holding a Work Permit, 100% you can't apply fo PR. You must upgrade your work permit to S Pass or Employment Pass through your employer.

Though PR application is something that you can apply on yourself, you'll need a letter to ICA in order to process your application. This letter must come from your employer stating your start day, your position and your salary. Many employers in Singapore will force their staff to sign a bond with them in order for them to prepare the letter to you. Reason is, once you get the PR, chances are high that you will leave employment and look for further opportunity outside because it'll be much easier to get a job now.

There are actually ways to go through this without getting to sign a bond with your employer, I can't disclose this here. If you are interested, please leave your email and I'll contact you how.

Crazy Life!!

Damn it!! What's happening? I am damn lost. How to settle this problem? No way out, I assume. Unless if I take the 'last step'!!! We will see to it later.

I have been following a famous blogger in Singapore, 'Sia Sueh', recently. She talked a lot bout everything, things she likes and things that she don't likes. And I found it pretty annoying on her post bout KL and her post bout foreign workers in Singapore.

Let's talk about KL first. In her post, she kept on complaining bout her trips to KL and how she dislikes it, how rude the people are, how unsystematic in KL. Shit, if you don't like it, don't go, it's as simple as that. If you ask the KL people, they also dislike Singapore, bout how 'polite' Singaporean are, how 'systematic' Singapore is being. But they never complain. I found it good in KL and I love it being the way it is. It is so freeeeeee in KL. You'll feel like a bird, flying around without constraint. In singapore? You are being tied. No freedom. You want freedom? You move out of it!!!!

Now, bout her post bout foreign workers. Bitch, u are damn lucky being borne in Singapore. And ur parents are not poor people. Do you know that, these people came to Singapore selling their lands, borrowing money from Ah long?!!! And it will take them at least 2 -3 years to repay the loan. Due to my previous job, i get to know a lot of foreign workers, and I enjoyed being friends with them. You sure get to learn a lot from these people. And I experienced seeing some of them, dying in Singapore, killed themselves, accidents......
