Spotted this cool little site called welike.sg, where you get to put stuff you like about Singapore. I am told this is not some gahmen project, so it is kinda cool to see some funny ones like:
"We like to makan and talk cock in kopitiams and hawker centres."
"We like complaining for the sake of complaining."
And my favourite one:
"We like mr brown."
Thanks, whoever you are that submitted that one. Hahaha!
This must be one of those fancy French-Indian vegetarian places I've heard of.
And I wonder what Impure Vegetarian food tastes like.
An alert Sammyboy forummer spotted a post missing from the SPH-owned STOMP site.
The STOMPer tanwk posted photos and a report entitled "Hundreds left waiting for goodie bags as Big Walk turns into big mess".
The post was about how participants of The New Paper Big Walk (also SPH organized) were allegedly "still queuing for their goodie bags at 7.55am even though the flag-off was at 7.30am".
This is the dead link where the post used to be: Dead STOMP link.
This is the Google Cache: Cached link.
Why the missing post? Was the report by the "citizen journalist" not good enough for the site? Was it a technical glitch? Has the post URL changed?
How mysterious.
Goes to show yer, though, the internet doesn't forget easily.
There are mornings you wake up and walk through the home, and though the kids are all in school or kindergarten, you see their handiwork.
I spotted the family Ikea rocking horse dressed in this pretty dress and just HAD to ask the helper, "Who dressed the rocking horse?"
Even though I already knew the answer.
"Ah that Joy-joy! I asked her to change into her kindergarten uniform and she decided to put the dress she was wearing on the horse, hahaha!"
Only a child would think of dressing a rocking horse like that. Spontaneously and delightfully. Just because it was a fun thing to do at the time.
That brought a smile to my face, a smile that was with me all day.

Latest CNNGo.com "Say What? with mrbrown" column: Is Singapore becoming... messy?
Excerpt:
Recently, DBS, Singapore's biggest bank and the one with the widest network of ATMs, suffered a system outage that brought their ATMs and Internet banking to a grinding halt island-wide.From around 3am Monday morning till about 10am that same day, folks could not do Internet and phone banking, draw cash from ATM machines, or pay with their debit cards.
When I found out about this technical glitch, I immediately went to my nearest ATM, once it was back online, to see if I had gained an extra million dollars. To my disappointment, the system outage did not bless me with the additional funds. Dang it.
A later news report said that the bank has ruled out "sabotage".
Which means poor system design or stupidity was to blame for the seven-hour financial blackout. Very reassuring.
Poor IBM. I'd hate to be in their shoes right now, "helping" DBS with their investigations.
Good thing I don't do much shopping at 3am in the morning or I'd be really mad. The only thing I do at 3am in the morning is buy fishball noodles for supper and the fishball noodles man does not take debit cards. (cont'd)
