I found the little poster that Event Horizon mentioned (visit his blog).
(It says, ‘We aim to please, you aim too, PLEASE.’ Taken in Alexandra Hospital.)
This is taken in Alexandra Hospital, it’s just above the urinals. I guess men have the tendecy of not aiming correctly. Opps. I don’t see why it’s so hard to aim properly right? Let’s aim into the urinals accurate to avoid a splash. A spillage. A yellow urinal.

English translation:
The toilet bowl in my house isn’t working already. It can’t flush, and can now only emit what is to be known to my science teacher as pungent. Very smelly! So my father wrote on a piece of paper:
Settle your own shit
Hahaa, that’s the funniest shit I’ve seen whole day. He wrote it as if, had the toilet bowl not been faulty, it would have flushed itself. Since when have we installed those auto-flusher toilets. I don’t even know where he got the those Ministry of Environment type of Post-It notes.
Why not just tell us that the toilet’s faulty. Four people in my family only, it’s not that bad right? I almost wanted to add on ‘Pee can be left unsettled’.
On my previous post, pketh sided with me on the whole idea of automatic taps.
Automatic taps are a good idea, they are flawed in terms of the implementation. This post is my take on why there are automatic faucets and why pketh and I aren’t fans of them.
_(The automatic tap.)_
To begin with, they just seem not to work properly! It’s been countless time when I start waving my hand frantically under the taps in hopes of water gushing down my tired hands. It only did after the fifth try or something.
That is the flaw of the tap. After visiting the urinal (or cubical), I just want to get the hell out of the toilet to continue with what I was doing previously. Automatic taps - faucets as pketh calls - are disrupting my work pace.
Why place something in a company to disrupt an employee’s workplace. I tell you, it must be the evil plan of the toilet equipment companies.
They want to earn a couple of bucks more to install those so-call futuristic faucets that - frankly speaking - we don’t bloody need. I am perfectly fine with pressing down the faucets and having water run down my hand.
According to my ex-colleague, a supporter of automatic faucets, the advantage of using this automatic faucet is that you hand just don’t touch anything, they say. You go to the urinal, unzip and do your twenty-second business and you’re done. You don’t touch any toilet equipment. Then you go to the sink and you have the wonderful automatic faucet that dispense water for two-seconds leaving my hands waving for more. Then you dry your hands with the automatic dryer. See - you didn’t touch the toilet equipment! It’s cleaner this way. Innovation!
My foot! The story is not completed. Then you have to get out of the toilet and you put your hand on the door handle to open the toilet and your hands are dirty again! And if you had previously dried your hand, the handle may be wet too. It probably defeats the purpose of so many automatic equipment in the toilet!
They have so many automatic things and the door is not automatic. And you know why? Because the toilet businesses are not into the construction business. They don’t give a damn about the fact that the door isn’t automatic. They just want you to pay more for the nice automatic toilet equipment that they are marketing.
There’s probably no dirty business like toilet business.
I was looking for images to associate with toilets in my post regarding more cubicles in female toilets and I stumbled upon some interesting pictures in my computer.
Back then, I work for a company that has quite interesting toilet signs.
(The male toilet sign at Biopolis buildings.)
I am not a pervert that goes around take images of toilets, I took all sorts of pictures around my work place’s environment before I left to keep it as a memory. Yes, I want to remember the toilet sign I guess.
(The female toilet sign at Biopolis buildings.)
The above image is the one you see in the limited//cubicles post.
(The handicap toilet sign at Biopolis buildings.)
The handicap toilet sign is quite artistically done too. And you wonder why these shapes and colors are chosen.
(The map of the Biopolis buildings.)
Notice the shapes and color denotations of the buildings actually form the toilet signs. I thought that was creative. (more…)
This has happen a couple of times. My female friend wants to go to the toilet. I went towards the restroom area. She proceeded to the ladies and return back 3 seconds later.
“Too many people!” she cried.
(The female toilet sign at Biopolis buildings.)
It’s funny because my friends and I just had this discussion about women toilets having too little cubicles.
Anyway, a new legislation is to be drawn up in Singapore.
New buildings required to install more cubicles in female restrooms
Ever wondered why there is often a queue for the women’s toilet, and not the men’s?
Well, it seems to be a universal problem and one city recently took a stand.
New York has passed what’s been hailed as a major health bill - the potty parity bill.
It requires new public buildings and those undergoing major renovations to install twice as many toilets in the women’s restroom as in the men’s.
Women we spoke to cited reasons ranging from time spent beautifying themselves to hygiene issues like having to wipe toilet seats.
But they all had one common request - more cubicles.
“The urethra is shorter for female, it’s 4cm long, while for the men, it’s 20cm. Men can stand, aim and pee. But for women, it’s an internal structure. Because they need to sit or squat, they need privacy and they need cubicles,” said Han Chow Chuan, head of the Urogynaecology Centre at KK Women’s & Children’s Hospital.
Said Jack Sim, founder of the Restroom Association of Singapore: “The bill is coming out. We’ve been working with NEA (National Environment Agency) for some time now.”
Well, expect to see more cubicles soon, thanks to new legislation on the way.

Hopefully these problems would be solved and my girlfriend can take a minute on a toilet visit instead of 3 seconds.
So nice… Finally at home and I can do almost anything I want. Home is the best place on Earth in my opinion, the second best would be any of the Biopolis building’s toilets.
Now that I am out of camp for a leave, I stay at home and use the computer. I blog, I surf the internet, I play some games. All of a sudden, everything seems so fun to me.
Currently, my life consists of eating, sleeping, using the computer, going out and drinking Ribena.
(I’m at home drinking Ribena now.)
Life’s so good now. I just came back from Orchard and ate at Thai Express. After I came out of -prison- Pulau Tekong camp, everything just tastes so nice. Every weekend, I just look forward to eating something different. I totally love McDonald’s double cheese burger after I go to the army. Buying a double cheese burger after I book out actually made me really happy. That’s what a Happy Meal is to me.
At home, I don’t drink much water. I drink milk quite a lot. And Ribena too. I finish the 1.5 litres Sprite Ice. It’s just been a long time since I last drink these stuff and I just want more and more of them! No more funny-tasting water from Pulau Tekong.
Unfortunately, this would only be for a week. Next week, I’m probably back in some camp. Hopefully not in Pulau Tekong.
The Japanese sure can innovate. They decided to flush their creativity juices into…
_(Toto’s toilet seat. Auto flush. Auto open.)_
Toto has came out with an automatic toilet seat flusher and it can automatically opens the seat for you too.
What really caught my attention is the advertisement. Interesting advertisement. Download [Right click -> Save Target As] the strange advertisement.
Would you like one of those?
