It's our party but we still need good grammar

The most offensive thing about Miley Cyrus's We Can't Stop is the line "We run things, things don’t run we".

It's "things don't run us", dammit!

Here's a better version of her song, sung acapella with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots: http://youtu.be/2mjvfnUAfyo

Singapore K-Pop Band Names

Recently, a PR company addressed me a Min Kun instead of Kin Mun. Talk about starting off on the wrong foot.

Since 민쿤 (Min Kun) sounds so much like a K-Pop star name, I should start my own K-Pop band.

Min Kun in Ghee-Dragon? Brown Eyed Boys? What other #SingaporeKpopBands are there?

Mom on the state of local radio

Mom: "I wish everybody on radio would just stop talking and play the music. All they do is laugh at their own unfunny jokes."

Trying Siri again

Since I upgraded to iOS 7 and had the chance to play with a review unit of the iPhone 5s, I thought I'd give Siri a try again. The last time I used it was during iOS 6 and Siri had a hard time understanding my Singaporean-accented English (eh, not SINGLISH ah, proper English, ok?).

This time, I decided to ask more localized questions, like "Siri, where is the best Hokkien mee?"

Canadian hockey results? What?

Ok, I shall try "Siri, where is the best Bak Chor Mee?"

I think Siri is trying to make an ass of me.

One more try. "Siri, who is Lee Kuan Yew?"

Si geena, Siri.

One Punch One Kill Plainclothes Commando, siol

Our libraries are safer with this SAF Special Operations Force Counter Terrorist Plainclothes Commando patrolling there, though I feel that one should not reveal classified information like the legendary SAF "One Punch One Kill" technique used by the elite Plainclothes Commandos.

To know the Library Rage story behind this photo, check the video allegedly filmed at Yishun Public Library at Northpoint Shopping Centre. [Warning: Contains strong language]:

He is so elite that the Ministry of Defence has come out to declare that the man is not a member of the SAF.

The Singapore Army Facebook page announced: "We have identified the person in question; and wish to clarify that he is not a member of the SAF nor has he served in the Commandos. He currently has no NS liability."

Hey, the fella did say to check the MINDEF mainframe for his elite data. Maybe it resides in a different mainframe. The elite plainclothes mainframe, perhaps.

A very hot Sunday afternoon

Wife: "Today the hot sun very hot."

Me: …

Wife: "I meant, today the sun very hot."

Me: "The sun is always hot leh."

I think I am sleeping on the couch tonight.

I did, however, salvage the situation by making her laugh. I told her the joke about the Indian space program that wanted to send astronauts to the sun.

When asked how it would be possible to fly there when the sun, the Director of the Space Program replied, "That's simple, we would go at night!"

USA no gahmen

Breaking: US Federal Govt shuts down for first time in 17 years as Congress fails to reach deal on funding.

Even their Twitter accounts also have to shut down.

Yes, USA is now Boh Cheng Hu.

From my friend Daryl, who is in Philly now:

"Singapore friends: update on Day 1 of the post-governmental shutdown apocalypse. So far our food and water stocks remain high. The zombies shuffled by earlier; we held our breaths and avoided detection."

I told him, "Stay safe. Use the gun only as a last resort. Go for their heads."
