Smile And Get A Free Ice Cream

2010
07.24

This is, as they claim, the world's first smile-activated vending machine.

If you smile [like a crazy person], you get a free cone of ice-cream.

There was quite a crowd here at the Chevron House basement, mostly onlookers. I'm still not sure what's the purpose of this machine… just to give away free ice-cream or to secretly take mugshots of those hard-up for free stuff? Either way, it looks pretty interesting.

Baffled

2010
07.19
Like a lot of other people, I'm just as baffled. 3 flood incidents within a month? It's not like it was some out-of-the-ordinary kind of rain. We've had non-stop rain for 3 days, to the point I was so tired of hearing the pitter-patters of raindrops, yet there were no floods then.Â

But 2 hours of heavy downpour was enough to cripple the entire island – now that is strange. And what's stranger is, they partly blamed the last downpour on the Typhoon Conson *hah!* How's that even possible when we're soooooo far from the typhoon belt. If so, wouldn't Malaysia be hit with floods as well? I haven't heard anything from our northern neighbours.

As usual, the ditch in front of my building was filled with water and so did the low-lying areas of the car park. Other than that, I missed my Saturday morning run and instead, enjoyed 14 hours of rest in bed. Bliss!! :) I later got up, with a headache, to find my kitchen countertop "flooded" because I didn't close the window. Thankfully it wasn't much.

At this moment, I'm enjoying reading the hilarious comments on the forums.

So what could have caused these floods? They say it is debris. Some say it's the failing Marina Barrage. How about the over-reclamation of land that brings about raised sea water level? And who knows, God is no longer on our side? Over achieving, over population, over building, over confident, then, BAM! Here's one for ya, Singapore!

Pairing Posterous with my old, hardly-updated blog. Testing if this works.

Need To Blog More Often

2010
05.13

This space has been neglected for too long :P I need to blog more often. Or maybe even sync my Posterous account to this blog…

I have an XFile to blog soon… Just waiting to hear it from the horses’ mouths this weekend when we go out for dinner. Need to get the facts!! :) Once I get the details, I shall share. Been a while since I shared a scary ghost story huh.

In the meantime, here’s a little audio I posted on Posterous a few days ago. I got a 4-track finally and having fun singing and playing the piano at the same time. Thought I’d do some of this to kill stress, which actually works. Not my best vocals, but who cares really. I’m not trying to audition for Glee. LOL!

It’s still months from now and only at planning stage, but with God’s will, I will be sitting in one of those red chairs at the end of the year. I’m so excited!! :)
