Com'on, Be A Man!

This is quite a hilarious and, perhaps, shocking read.

It's titled Why Nice Sing*pore Guys cannot Get Girls

Enjoy...

In case you missed it...

From Tuesday's ST page H6

PM LEE'S SPEECH: NO 'HARM' IN MEE SIAM

PRIME Minister Lee Hsien Loong meant to say 'laksa, mai harm' - 'laksa, no cockles' - when illustrating a point in his National Day Rally speech on two competing sides' podcasts.

Asked about it, the PM's press secretary said yesterday that Mr Lee had inadvertently said 'mee siam, mai harm' instead. That dish, of course, does not have cockles as an ingredient.

The quote came about when Mr Lee was speaking about new technology and podcasts, and warned that if politicians were to start competing on the basis of whose podcast was funnier, the tone of public debate would be lowered.

Busy


It's been a hectic week - had to preach two messages, and do a Sunday golf feature.

Things got worse on Thursday, when I woke up with a sore throat.
That evolved into a running nose (which is terribly irritating) by Saturday, and that got worse on Sunday.

Throw a lung-bursting Singapore Celebs vs HK Celebs Sunday soccer game, in which I played for 20 mins, into the equation, and you get an exhausted blogger.

Look who's next to Christopher Lee... hehe

Which is why I'm grateful, grateful for His grace and divine energy.
Grateful for His mercies, which are new every morning, and for His ever-present love and faithfulness.

Finally had a chance last Friday to share a message that has been in my heart all month to my cell group. I pray that God touched their hearts that night, and that lives will be transformed.

Also shared at the Youth Service on Saturday. It's extra hard to do so when your nose is runny, but somehow, my nose was fine during that time.

Didn't like the smaller screen at No 20, and I felt a little unprepared, but I thank God for the opportunity to minister to the younger ones.

Lazy

You know that feeling when you need to finish something by a certain date, but you have absolutely no impetus or desire to do anything about it.
I've been having that for the last four days

It sucks.

Sunday features - the bane of my existence.

Need some inspiration, other than the fear of the looming deadline...

Help!

Wow.
2 August 2006 marks the second anniversary of my first full-time job since graduation.

Thank You for seeing me through every mountain, and every dark valley...

Here's to many more good years of work!

Hilarious! And he's coming to Singapore... too bad only single tics are left. *sigh*

Signals

"All girls should be like traffic lights", said a male friend, as he shared his relationship woes with me recently.

They should have red, amber and green lights prominently displayed - that way guys will know how to handle a relationship.

Should they press on, back off or be indifferent?
BGR matters will be much simpler if the above were true.

Maybe, after all is said and done, we guys are just plain lazy...
Or, like love, we are just blind...

Speaking about signals, what is it about Singaporean drivers and a failure to flash their intentions to change direction?
Maybe, all the car manufacturers should just cut costs by excluding signals in all their models sold here.

Do they expect everyone to be able to read their minds?
Or are they just plain lazy?

Imagine all the lives that could be saved and hurt avoided, if only everyone signals...
