mrbrown: L'infantile terrible of Singapore

The Vendor Client relationship, in real world situations

Too good not to share. The only thing missing is the line, "Think of the exposure/traffic we can bring you."

Random fun stuff for a slow Thursday

Living with first-person shooter disease:

Robo-Geisha (NSFW but ridiculous to the point of absurdity):

Transformers 2 FAQ! (Don't read if you dowan spoilers):

Q: What is the status of the Transformers at the beginning of the film?
A: The Autobots have joined the military to hunt down the Decepticons. We're told the Decepticons are "doing things," but they appear to be hiding peacefully when the Autobots show up and brutally murder them.

A bunch of money-faces. Literally. See the rest here:

Help this fiesty princess who has cancer

Charmaine has neuroblastoma, a form of cancer and is at her 4th stage of chemo now. Her condition is very serious as the cancer has spread to her bone marrow and bones. She is four, slightly older than my Joy.

Charmaine's medical treatment will cost a lot of money. About half a million dollars as an upfront deposit to send her to New York for treatment.

If you can help, please do. You can contact her mother, Cynthia, at www.ourfeistyprincess.com

You can also contact Charmaine's god mother at ourfeistyprincess [at] gmail.com.

mrbrown at NDP 2009: fondling a Leopard tank

Ryan and I are running around the Marina Floating Platform and witnessing the first combined rehearsal of the NDP. This is months of hard work at a local level, being tried out on location for the first time.

I chanced upon these Leopard tanks parked along the street. Hmmm. What were they there for?

Tell you guys soon. Haha!

mrbrown at NDP 2009: Presidential Gun Salute

I meet the men behind the Presidential Gun Salute, men from Artillery and Engineers. Yes you heard right, the Combat Engineers are involved this year.

MP: Singaporeans wait 15 minutes for bus also complain, not like grateful immigrants

From the Straits Times: "Helping foreigners fit in"

With his trademark grin, [MP Charles Chong] added: "When you ask Singaporean residents for feedback, they will complain that they have to wait more than 15 minutes for the bus. But when you ask new immigrants, they are happy that the bus comes in under 30 minutes."

MP Charles Chong quipped this little quip when he was talking about integrating new immigrants from India, China, the Philippines and Myanmar in his ward of Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC.

I think he has a point! Why set such high standards for our public transport?

You ungrateful Singaporean residents! Don't ask for buses and trains to come more frequently! Adjust your expectations! Be grateful like foreigners who come from countries with poorer infrastructure!

That is the path to true happiness.
