Twitter In Politics

Today's local newspapers highlighted the death of Samak Sundaravej, former Thailand Prime minister. He died yesterday. If you wanna know more about the news, use any one of the internet search engines out there.

Now its not the death that surprised me, may he find peace, btw.

Its the responses from his compatriots that blew my mind:


Up till now, I still have no fucking idea what Twitter is. From the papers, I do know that it saved a guy who was stranded in the mountains, and Ashton Kutcher does it more than he does his MILF of a wife. What I do not know is its cool to be a twit.

If I traverse to the afterlife and people offer their condolences by just twitting, I'll be very sad. I'd think I'm a fucking moron who is a total failure in life. And this rave about Ashton being the biggest twit in the world? I thought this nonsense are for people born after the emergence of the internet.

Even if Samak's still alive, he would've not been aware of any well-wishing tweets, since he always come across as traditional. A written letter, albeit slower, would have been more appropriate. If you actually did write a letter, for heaven's sake do not tweet.

I'm Loving It

To all cavemen: this blog article briefly describes a technology which might be too advance for your understanding. By proceeding you risk getting your mind blown away by the sheer extravagance of the science machine.



ABSOLUTE CONVENIENCE



The transmission signal is ultrasonic, which means I can switch the light on or off even when im outdoors, but not too far away.



How is this thing useful? I no longer need to walk to my light switch even though its only at most, 2 meters away and its right next to the door. Its pointless, yes, but lets admit that you want one too.

SPCA

Received the latest SPCA annual report via snail mail:


To continue the matter I highlighted many many months ago, here's the animal statistics for the year 2009:


Congratulations Singapore, you have caused less animals to die this year. Huh, dunno? Lets use cats as an example, since people love shitting their pants over bigger numbers.

According to the figures, 2907 cats were put to sleep (compared to 3854 last year), which is 7.96 per day (10.56 last year).

To me the difference is not alot. At least its an improvement, not the other way 'round (the Bayshore incident didnt help).

The reality is this: The SPCA does not receive any grant from the government. It operates mainly on donations and fund raising activities which is frankly, ridiculously small in amount.

I pose this challenge to all my readers to donate money to SPCA rather than to the gold tap guy, the race horse owner, the president or any other dudes. The community that needs money the most doesnt even have funding to organise a charity show that includes people such as Jeanette aw or Chen Liping to suspend upside-down over a pool of acid or hungry pirahnas. Get your parents to do the same, since they've all been cheated their five-ten dollars making those stupid phonecalls. Fulfill the challenge and you won't go to hell.

Credit card is accepted at the donations page.

How can you take this shop seriously when the guys selling you women’s clothes are a plumber and an electrician? (See red box)

If you have no idea where I snap this picture from: right-click the image, select properties and look at the url.

Next! Clifton is spotted on RazorTV:





Click here if you cant play the above & below videos.





You know you're in shit when its RazorTv. Boomz.

Registration Needed!

Mahjong.
The last time real money was involved was the ONLY time we played with it. Some people refuse to pay up. Its alright, since close friends are more important than the few dollars.

Now, things can still happen even when we are not playing with chips. A girl punched me in the stomach, her boyfriend slap me in the face, and one more guy was hellbent on getting me to pay for a challenge I didnt even bet.

If this story sounds really familiar, it just might mean that one of the forementioned people is you. But I dun care. Im not playing anymore. I'll watch the tv. Everybody happy.

So where can I go to "swim" nowadays?
Wahjong

I won this a few months ago. The name in the picture is censored to prevent any kind of unwanted attention.

You get to earn gold and xp (experience points) if you win. The gold in turn can be used to buy clothes and other crap for your avatar. You can also make the game private if you wish to play with your friends. At least you wont get slapped.

There's many other games!


You see, if I start raising a backhand to anybody who verbally offends me instead of talking things out, I'll be getting all the physical workout I need. And then i'll start losing friends.

If you thought the lambo news cuttings on my wall was bad (see blog article)


What. About. This?



And why is this picture pink? Shuddap I know why..



Go to the kids shop on the 2nd floor of Serene Centre (Singapore) to get one at a discounted price.
I didnt buy it from there. Which means I didnt buy it from a kids shop.


Ya know, I just found out American Express Singapore (website) have really good customer service. They actually call you up to guide you on how to get their credit & charge cards? Thats tight.
Other banks just get a machine-like CSO to parrot some product, they just give you what you can get, not what you want. Haha thats the difference man.

My Friendster (Oct 2003 - Oct 2009)

Its been too long, man... But it was fun.

To commemorate the 6th anniversary of my friendster profile, I shall destroy it.

Here's what it looked like before:



And this, after:


Or what I saw when I tried the URL. Gone. Cancelled.

Hmm... Not as eventful as i thought. The whole process was quick and before I know it, I was shoved right back to the main page. Awesome.

This somewhat concludes yet another chapter of the decadent youth life i used to lead. No more social networking websites for me- this is the first and the last.

No need facebook. This blog is already giving me enough face.
