2006 Singapore Motor Show



an assortment of pretty cars, some partially blocked by scantily clad women acting as human accessories, others separated from us by their high platforms or barricades or signs saying "By Invitation Only".. I especially liked the concept cars, though there was discernably fewer this year..

instead, there was a surprising (or perhaps unsurprising) large show of budget cars from China, Malaysia and such.. brands like Geely, Lifan, Perodua, Naza, .. with their impossibly low prices, plasticky feel and 80s interiors.. gulp... for a journey back in time.. hahaha...

Think Different: Mac



Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.

They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.

They invent.
They imagine.
They heal.
They explore.
They create.
They inspire.
They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.

While some see them as the crazy ones,
we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do.

an ad i've always loved. for people who cared to be different.

Creativity at its best

UK drivers think of sex rather than signals (from ST Interactive)

LONDON - Over a million motorists think about sex rather than the road ahead and millions more who don't indulge in intimate thoughts are worrying about work or thinking about their families.

Research from car insurer More Than published on Thursday found one in five drivers admit to concentrating behind the wheel less than 75 percent of the time, with 1.2 million thinking mostly about sex.

And sex wasn't the only non-traffic thoughts motorists have.

For 3.2 million drivers work was the main focus and for 2 million more it was family issues that dominated.

'Unsafe habits can be unlearned just as easily as they can be learned, but first, drivers must recognise the risk they face by not concentrating on their driving,' said Ms Lisa Dorn, director of Driver Research at Cranfield University of the findings.

The study also revealed drivers' pet hates.

Topping the list were tailgaters (28 per cent), lane hoggers (20 per cent) and drivers who cut in (11 per cent).

Other road users who drove too fast and those who drove too slowly were also rated on 11 per cent.

The reaserch carried out by Sky Living for More Than questioned 4,497 adults in June 2006. -- REUTERS

Mosquitotone

According to the newspapers, the Mosquito ringtone is "inaudible to those over 25, and growing numbers of teens are using it to take calls undetectded by parents and teachers"

But children, I CAN hear IT.. and rather clearly too.. its VERY ANNOYING...

so don't even think of trying it in class..

Test it yourself

this is the original one from bbc.. see if u can hear the sound, or just the ambient noise outside the store..

Retirement Villages

what EXACTLY are "retirement villages"?

the ones in the UK and Australia look lovely..

but why IS the singapore government involved in building retirement villages for Singaporeans??

(flips econs textbook for instances of government intervention in the production or provision of goods & services)

**scratches head**

and in Batam???

to assess how the "typical" Singaporean views this, i asked my mother (who's always quick with a witty remark) what she thought about the matter.

"well, why don't they consider euthanasia? it's an even quicker method."

(without another word turns back to her favourite tv programme)

ha. ok. so we have it.. the typical Asian view.. :)

see another fearful one & fearful too

Senseless Violence
