The return of demotivation will hopefully be scheduled now on every monday. When people are at their most hopeless and despairing best. But then i cant promise anything because i may be too demotivated to do one every monday.

Last days in Singapore II

Apologies that the following photos arn't as good as they should be. But anyway while i was going to Central Mall @ Clarke Quay i saw some more lovely signs in the MRT station. The first thing i saw was this sign that had to warn people that there were 90 steps to walk up to the main street.

They really shouldn't have the warning so that people can stay at the top of the stairs and video people coming up cursing or extremely exhausted. Even taking the escalator was quite a lengthy process. There were 2 escalators that brought you out of the MRT into the mall and the first one was incredibly high.



And lastly, i saw a sign that says wet floor/ cleaning in process that seemed to be left there by mistake, cos the floor was obviously not wet. Ok yes, the floor dried up recently but its still amusing to see people stare at the sign and try to be cautious then realise there isnt any wet floor but they have to avoid the sign obstructing the middle of their path anyway. And by the time some others strained their eyes to see the small words on the sign the message of the sign was seriously irrelevant.

My last days in Singapore

As i return to Perth today (21st), there will be many things that i will miss in Singapore. The Green city never fails to make me giggle at its absurdity at times. And i sincerely hope that as Singaporeans continue to prosper, they will learn to laugh at themselves and at the little things in life. Cash does not equal class. And sometimes being so congested, Singapore can be a very unforgiving and unloving society. Having said that. Heres what i found on the second last day in my hometown.







Sadly i resized my camera too small; so if you squint your eyes a bit, you will notice that the message spells shuttle bus, but the very nice graphic is of a SHUTTER bus. Probably the doors are dangerous and might close on passengers unexpectedly.

V is not for Vitagen

I think its really strange that people still celebrate V-day. Or more appropriately named Valentines day. I started to think that so many people i know find it a marketing gimmick and a real waste of time. How can it still survive with so many detractors and un-believers?
Then it struck me that maybe my circle of friends are all getting older. Maybe its how the older generation make up excuses that we are wiser and are more prudent with our decisions.
"All the restaurant prices jack up by 200% can eat 5 more meals after V-day better"
"People should be treasured everyday not set aside some special day, so silly"
"Roses normally one bunch only $10 now $99; you think who is the stupid one?"
Well, it does make quite a lot of sense. But thats exactly the problem. Maybe as we grow up we become too sensible and logically motivated. And maybe we are just afraid to mingle with the younger crowd in public places on V-day. Because they remind us of that romanticism we once had but have now lost. That carefree spirit that wants to celebrate and wants to date someone and make him/her feel special.
But then again, as an adult, i just write it off as horny hormones.

Pineapple Tarts -- All gone!!

An incongruent image from Chinese New Year. But still yummy. I have recently been diagnosed with pineapple tarts addiction; the medical profession thus labels me a 'pine-nut'.

Remember Boggle?

I suddenly had this epiphany that words with double letters in them are a lot stickier to remember. Unless a person doesnt read then it wont have added significance?
But then how about words like essential or assets? Maybe its just words that sound funny. Like Tottenham; which people can never reach consensus on how to pronounce anyway.
Note that Bookkeeper is spelt thus and is the only word that has 3 double letters. Which proves my theory wrong because bookkeeper is a rather boring word that i dont really want to repeat. Nor does it really strike me every now and again when i least expect it.
I guess its just google and its crazy font colours.

Catch no ball?

I recently came across this australian advert that said this: " The Million Ball mission is based on the simple but brilliant observation that if we can get guys to play more sport, then they will sweat more and need to buy more Rexona Men. So our challenge became getting guys to play more sport and this is where the balls come in."
Ricky Ponting (Aust Cricket player) is distributing free balls throughout Australia. Great publicity stunt i must admit. I found the idea/ advert incredibly amusing. Although it didnt really inspire me to perspire and purchase Rexona Men deodorant products.
