Irrefutable proof that Pritam Singh and WP Aljunied Team related to LKY!!!

Some people believed that MG Chan Chun Sing was somehow related to Lee Kuan Yew because he stood near him during Mrs Lee's funeral.

Based on this brilliant theory, I have unearthed more of LKY's relatives: the ENTIRE freakin' Workers' Party team MUST be related to LKY then!

Look at this picture! Look at how close Pritam Singh is standing near LKY! Relatives, I tell you!

(If you don't understand satire, let me just spell it out for you: I was kidding in the above post.)

Saw that "arrow" car again

Those of you who watched my second cycling video will remember I came across a car with arrows sticking out of it, which tickled me pink.

I spotted it again on the way to buy something from the provision shop near my office and took some photos.

The tagline "For situations you wouldn't even think of" was pretty clever, since the cars are meant to promote motor insurance called DriveShield.

You may wish to check their site out. They are giving away up to $80 in petrol vouchers if you buy DriveShield before 31 August 2011. And there is some contest thingy too, involving their "arrow" cars.

Dumbass Remark of the Week: Dr Lim Wee Kiak

Image from omy.sg

The winner this week is... PAP MP for Nee Soon GRC, Dr Lim Wee Kiak!

The good doctor said:

"If the annual salary of the Minister of Information, Communications and the Arts is only $500,000, it may pose some problems when he discusses policies with media CEOs who earn millions of dollars because they need not listen to the minister's ideas and proposals, hence a reasonable payout will help to maintain a bit of dignity."

From omy.sg: ‘ 部长薪酬过低 有失身份地位’　林伟杰言论遭网民批评 ("Lim Wee Kiak defends ministerial salaries: Low pay is a loss of dignity")

Aiyah, now I know why my ministers don't listen to me. I don't earn enough.

In other news, PAP MP Irene Ng was irked by media coverage of the Workers' Party's Meet the People session (MPS) in Aljunied GRC.

PAP MP Irene Ng: "I started my MPS on May 9, two days after being elected as MP. Had a big crowd. Hardly any rest. No big media publicity. An opposition party started their MPS just yesterday. If that had happened in a PAP branch, imagine the flak...But I am not complaining. We serve quietly and hope residents will judge us by our actions, and not just our words."

Screencap from TOC

Like that also want to complain. Let WP have their coverage lah. First time a GRC run by Opposition leh. Not newsworthy meh? The media also covered Tin Pei Ling and Tan Chuan-jin's Meet the People sessions what. Chill lah.

mrbrown rides his bicycle to eat fishball mee

I made another cycling video with the GoPro HD video camera and this time, I went from office to Kembangan, to eat fishball noodles, and along the way, I saw a very odd car.

Then I made my way through Siglap estate back to Katong, to my fave bicycle shop to get my bicycle serviced. All in all, a nice ride today.

This time, I aimed the camera higher as requested by many (sorry for making you guys puke the last time) and the view was nicer, I thought.

Ride safe and keep the rubber side down!

Someone did get raptured after all

Seen in friend's office.

Hey Harold Camping! You were right! We all got left behind on 21st May and only Mickey Mouse got raptured on 21st May!

I guess we have to wait for the NEXT upload, on 21st October 2011, which, according to Harold Camping, is the really, really, really, never-bluff-you, confirm and double-confirm, for-real Rapture date.

Personally, I think God may have postponed Rapture just to see Manchester United lift their 19th title. But that's just my theory.

mrbrown's bicycle ride to work

Some of you may know I am a bicycle commuter and ride daily to work and back. I thought you might want to see my 30-minute commute in less than 3 minutes.

I shot this with a GoPro HD video camera mounted on my helmet. 1080p high resolution, babeeee. (Thanks to Chiif Cameras!)

Sorry about the slight haze at the end. I think it was condensation. I didn't know video cameras can sweat too.

Ride safe, y'all!

Harold Camping salah for the second time

Seen on my FB

After all the hoohah about the 21st May 5.59pm Rapture/Judgement Day that Harold Camping and his Family Radio show proclaimed, it's back to the drawing board.

I guess they will need to change their billboards from this:

To this:

Cheer up, Harold. It's not the end of the world.

It's Mr Goh now, says ESM

Seen on the Marine Parade GRC Facebook page, posted by Goh Chok Tong yesterday at 10.16am:

"Tks all for your best wishes. Morning after, no hangover, no burden of office. Accepted EMS title to help advance S'pore's international relations. Have useful experience n friends, esp in China, India, Japan, Mid-east. Here, call me Mr Goh. We are friends. --- gct"

That was a gracious remark by Mr Goh Chok Tong.

I hope when he said "no hangover", it didn't mean that the Cabinet had too much to drink after the President swore the new lot in, on Saturday night.

And I think he meant to say ESM (Emeritus Senior Minister) and not EMS (Emergency Medical Services? Express Mail Service?).

CNNGo column: We are the citizens of Singapore and we want to vote

Latest CNNGo.com "Say What? with mrbrown" column: We are the citizens of Singapore and we want to vote

Excerpt:

Like many Singaporeans, I am feeling a little empty since the General Elections ended.

After the heady feeling of attending rallies, discussing politics with friend and stranger alike, and exercising my vote as if the fate of the Free World and the Galactic Alliance depended on it, I am left to my old life again.

After the X was drawn in the box, what next?

Once you have tasted the fountain of life that is your ability to vote, you start to think.

"That was great! I actually made a difference in my country's political future! I made them LISTEN, dammit!"

Your next thought becomes,

"Ok, what else needs my vote now? Give me anything! Another part of our government? An Upper House or Lower House, maybe? Don't the Americans get to vote a President, a Senate and a House of Representatives? Why can't Singapore have a few more institutions for me to use my awesome power?" (cont'd)
