George does the opposite, so should you!

Here's one of my favorite Seinfeld scenes. George Costanza, the long-suffering character with his long string of bad luck, concluded that his life has been the complete opposite of how he had wanted it to be. He decided to counter that by doing the opposite, starting from foregoing his usual order at the Diner.



Though the situation is highly exaggerated (since it's a show afterall), it can serve as a good reminder: If what you've been doing hasn't been working out for you, do a George. Do the opposite, and you might find yourself a little surprise there.

I love Fry and Laurie

Was watching some short clips of A Bit of Fry and Laurie by the comedy duo Stephen Fry and and the younger "House" Hugh Laurie. The show works in the same style as Monty Python & the Flying Circus series, consisting of short skits.

Honestly I don't get some of the clips, but here are some which I've enjoyed.

Here's one jerking fun at how pointless some stars can be when they are on Oprah :P



And another: instead of the usual boring "Coffee with Insert-Talk-Show-Host-Name", they have "Photocopying My Genitals with..."



Right. Hope this is your cup of Ang-Moh Tea.

My Ireland Song

A plug on one of the projects I've worked on: well, now you know what I do :P

My Ireland Song is, well, a song. Written by a German guy, it's a love song for his wife, and his love for Ireland, the place where he had a new beginning in his life.

Alongside with St. Patrick's Day celebrations, My Ireland Song is free for download until 23:59 PST (+8), so even if you're Singaporean, you still can get it till 4pm today :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everybody! Yes, even though the only Irish person I know shares the same bed as me on certain sleepless nights. And that would be her.

Efficiency Tip: Labelling your power cables

This is how I label my power cables near my desk. I'll never have the problem of switching off the wrong power source again. Should do the same to the kitchen devices!

Clever Namecards

I must say, namecards are such a hassle! The ones you've collected take up space in your wallets. The ones you carry around because "you'll never know who you meet" anytime of the day take up space as well; for some, in a separate holder. For me I have that separate holder in the form of a cigarette box, which I'll forget to bring along with me, which then defeats its purpose. Oh well, enough about my tardiness.

Most namecards are so capital B Boring: many a times while clearing my wallet, I would have a little pile of insignificant namecards that I can't actually remember who they came from!

Was researching on creative namecards, when I came across this:

How clever, a play on the word "separation". Pure genius from the creative! A possible ease of tension for the clients of this particular lawyer, whilst dealing with a difficult situation such as divorce.

More striking, original, creative namecards here.

Jade Seah says Fuck on National Television

The Coolest Screensaver We've Seen in a Long Time
Cute, cute Japanese girls :P

Apparently Jamie Yeo only has one kidney.

Waxing.

Man getting his chest waxed. Vay funny. Especially when they reached the hair around his nipples.

This is for real: Turbanizer.com!

Yes, now you can find out how you look like with a Turban, with TURBANIZER! You just have to upload a photo of yourself and choose from an array of turbans available!

Apparently there's a reason for Turbanizer.com

Why we made the Turbanizer

Racism is driven by being afraid of the unknown. People that do not wear a turban need to connect with the turban to understand it. Turbanizer.com helps by allowing anyone in the world to visualize themselves in a turban. If someone insults your turban, just TURBANIZE THEM!

-Excerpt from Why we made the Turbanizer

Ah, so the men with the Paghs are sick of the Turban jokes, and they built this application to laugh at themselves. That's a nice touch :P


This is how a 5-year old me look like in a Punjabi-Styled Black Turban. Those who are very fond of "Bhai What Colour" jokes is going to have a riot with this application.

Bunny Cart

Lily the Rabbit had her own Bunny Cart for her paralyzed hind legs, fashioned out of an old Barbie Cart.

Sexy Parrot

My obsession with parrots started when Formidable-Bossom Charis always told me fondly about the antics of her parrot Wheeler.

Found some cute ones on youtube. Here's a cute Indian Ringneck parrot who seemed to have watched too much soft porn, with pick-up lines Oh Baby!, What's The Matter? and come here!



I love it at 0:33 where he sounded like he was HIGH. Come HERE!

Go buy LIME for March 2008

If you've got 3 dollars with you, do buy a copy of Lime Magazine for the month of March 2008. Yes, it's a magazine targeting annoying teenagers, and I had copies of it at 13/14 years old. Seems that the magazine's currently taking a different direction, with various segments dedicated to covering our local music scene, thanks to Levan Wee, the unmissable white-haired dude who once screeched and screamed in the band Ronin) as one of their writers.

Here's Levan's online plee for all to grab a copy of this month (March 2008)'s magazine, which comes along with a free 30-Track CD from 30 different bands. Painstakingly compiled by the LIME team.

No one is forcing to like everything on the CD. Giving your support for the local music scene is really not about loving everything that's offered. Treat it as a sample: it'll be like going to a buffet, where you try a little bit of everything. 30 different dishes to try, somemore. I didn't enjoy some of the stuff in there as well such as the highly raved West Grand Boulevard, or maybe I'm just not into Emo-Rock.

What I do enjoy are stuff from B-Quartet and Flawed Element. Flawed Element's featured track on the CD, Worms on Concrete can also be found on their MySpace's page as well. Actually, most of the featured bands have MySpace pages, as mentioned by Levan over here.

Okay, have fun sampling!

Wi-Fi Detector Shirts. If you walk around Ngee Ann Polytechnic with this shirt, the signal will be strong, even when you enter the toilets, hahaha! I've seen routers installed beside the toilets!

Soft Toy LCD TV

I don't care whether it's meant for a kid. I want one of these. More from the animal series can be found here at the HANNSpree website. They also have a Singapore outlet at Funan the IT Mall!

And the giraffe LCD TV, though small, is retailing at SGD$399. Not bad, ah!

The Foam Man

Someone made this sequence of art: Today is the Day, painstakingly carved out of foam. It's fecking funny!

Cupcakes are for everyone

Silly Birthday Card

Double-click to view a bigger version of card, lah.

Birthday card from the (sexy) male nurse, from 3 years ago. He's still has that streak of egoistical humor in his writings up till today. And I think he really spelled my name wrongly as "Jiayan" before adding the sentence behind to sound like he's actually flattering me.

And no, Jon, you are not marriageable material :P
