This poor Singapore taxi driver has the most unfortunate name. And partly because it actually went up to Digg.com top list.
(You are travelling in comfort with Chew Kok.)
I do cab around sometimes but I haven’t seen this taxi driver in Singapore. I always look at the driver names. Yes, taxi drivers, I always look at your name tags and I always end up remembering your license plate number whether I want it or not.

It’s got an intuitive interface and I see much value in owning one. Get yours before Sitex ends this evening!
Just saw the Media Development Authority’s latest effort in getting Singaporeans all excited about er… Okay, actually I have no idea what it is about. But never mind, it’s always funny to watch a higher management try to get creative while throwing jargons around.
Yes yes all, we don’t stop! Get connected worldwide. Rock on! What the…
Seriously, this is a terrible branding effort. Yo ain’t no rapper. Please try again.
Video of who is believed to be Singapore’s most beautiful lady.
Well, erm… To each his own I guess.
I was poking around Wikipedia and I spotted something hilarious, IP address 203.116.59.28 is placing all sorts of lies in Wikipedia!

It is not uncommon to spot people adding chunks of nonsense in Wikipedia. It’s the most unplesant thing to do. Imagine you had to do a project and just take the information directly from Wikipedia. You’ll end up with chunks of shit. It’s unfortunate that there are always people trying to distort the free online encyclopedia. While the change is often reverted, it takes a couple of days. Some rarer defaced articles gone unnoticed.
And therefore, everytime you do research, never ever trust just one source. If Wikipedia says this, counter check it with Encarta or Britannica. Get the “facts” right. It’s a great community encyclopedia but don’t trust it completely.
On a side note, Wikipedia just got its 2 millionth article.
Not sure if you guys have actually seen this, the Odex parody video:
And just in case you don’t know what is Odex:
In Singapore, the piracy of Japanese animation has gotten quite a bit of press coverage. I know many people downloading anime. One of the local anime distributers, Odex, decided to start demanding payment from people who download from sources such as BitTorrent. While they’re generally and lawful to pursue this matter, their approach is not favorable among the local anime community.
They demanded a monetary settlement from the downloaders of about $3000 which they claim is the fees that were spent on issuing the lawsuit. Such bullying tactics has caused several to boycott Odex products. I looked at Odex products at HMV feeling disgusted by their ways. To worsen matters, ISP Singnet and Starhub revealed their subscriber details.
But as the Odex saga is coming to an end, it’s interesting to watch the supposedly good guys turn bad and hated all around town. Odex didn’t do anything wrong when they start whining people are downloading their anime. It’s the all suing thing that just sucks. I think there’s plenty to learn from this. Don’t be overly righteous. And be more sensitive to what you say in forums.
