ST's Top Story

Found this "Top Story" picture on the Straits Times homepage.


Lucky they have this small caption to help us out. Otherwise I would have thought Khaw Boon Wan was shaking hands with yet another PAP candidate.

And how about that guy in the middle showing us all his teeth eh? Happy that the vendor's arm was hiding his fat belly? Feeling the pleasure of his right boob in front of everyone?

Good thing tomorrow's Polling Day and we'll soon be rid of all this election non-sense.


Anyway, for this to be considered a top story, I guess nothing is happening in the world today. Has the massacre in Darfur stopped? Nope, BBC's homepage brings us back to reality.


All about keeping the priorities straight eh ST? But I will also give them pops. After refreshing the ST homepage, I got to see this.


Happy Coronation Anniversary, Your Highness.

Wishful Thinking

Here's hoping MI3 bombs and puts a long-overdue end to that short arrogant bastard's career. Won't mention his name cos I don't want to dirty my blog with this type of filth. I won't ever understand how the American people keep supporting this gay's career and yet let the careers of so many other deserving stars peter out.


Also came across this rather funny article on Yahoo Music.

Nick Lachey may be single and looking, but he's not giving starlet Lindsay Lohan so much as a passing glance.

According to claims made by the World Entertainment News Network, Lohan has always had a crush on Lachey, and now that he is back on the market, she is hoping to act on her feelings. However, Lachey made it clear in a recent radio interview that he is not at all interested.

This past Monday, the ex-Newlywed appeared on The Ace & TJ morning radio show to promote his new post-Jessica album What's Left Of Me, which comes out next week. When he was asked if there was any chance he would hook up with Lindsay, he quickly made his feelings (or lack thereof) known by replying, "I can safely say that I don't have any interest in Lindsay Lohan...nor do I understand anyone else that does."

Guess he can't handle a repeat of his situation with Jessica Simpson, i.e. the girl earning more and being more popular than him ... :)

Singapore Car Drivers

Singapore car drivers have got to be among the very worst in the world. Sure they may not honk as much as the drivers in China but they are worse due to their selfishness and their lack of courtesy. Sure the Singapore roads are not nearly as congested as Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok but that's in no way thanks to the drivers.

It's pretty easy to see. They will never ever allow someone else into their lanes even when it's much easier to do so. They'd rather squeeze past the other car and possibly risk an accident than to do the right thing.

They might think this makes them weak and it hurts their egos. Or maybe they think that paying the COE entitles them to be the kings of the road - but guess what? all other car drivers in Singapore have paid the COE too. Watch them in action on the rare roads with two-way traffic or in the HDB carparks and you will see the king-of-the-road attitude again.

It's not like the roads in Singapore are very congested, a simple act of courtesy along their way home would cost them 5 seconds at the most but yet it's not done.

I have been to Bangkok where the jams are world famous and even in all this mayhem, you can see drivers allowing others to switch to their lanes without a fuss or a honk. Which leads me to the conclusion that it's got everything to do with the people's mentality.

Singaporeans need humility. It's too bad the only way they can understand this is when they get involved in accidents, get mugged in Malaysia or when there's a tragedy happening.
