Singlish Class???

I was walking around in the new School of Computing building at NUS, which used to be the Law School building... when i came across a door with this written on it!


Wonder if the room was used to train the foreigners (to be lawyers) to speak in the way the Singaporean judge would understand!

Imagine this conversation...

Lawyer: Death sentence can?? okay???

Judge: OKay.. can can la!!!

All rise la!!!!

(Sorry if u don't understand Sing-lish)

mobi-loo (update)

The previous post draws its inspiration from this post by Amit Verma. Was hoping my entry would make it to the final 7 too...

mobi-loo....

Found the piece of art in the shopping center in the ground floor of my apartment.... was wondering if anybody would actually like to use this state-of-the-art creation! Just a passing thought ... with pics...

all i had left was to come up with a product name!

Now this feels like home...

Been a guy who watches sport a lot on TV ever since i remember.... so depriving myself of it for almost 2 yrs during my masters was one hell of a sacrifice. When I was looking for a new accommodation towards the end of last month i was praying that somebody would just give me a place with a TV, cable and of course my fav sports channels and yeah God does exist! Not only did he hear my prayers but in grand style.... imagine, there's a 53" projection TV (if ur used to say a 25" one then this is 4 of them placed together!!)at home with ESPN, Star sports and the Cricket Channel!!!! The 2 other guys i moved in with are just as crazy abt sport as I am. Watched most of the Wimbledon matches after ages... unfortunately missed the final boo hoo, watched the replay thought. British F1 race couldn't get much of that too... but did get a glimpse of the imp moments. che... why did I have to be so busy over the weekend and yeah now I cant wait for EPL !!!

Unfortunately the much awaited Ind-Pak ODI got washed out, was ready for it with chips and lying cozy on the sofa!!! Yeah, it just felt like home!!! Bring on the matches now....

What the poster in my new room says!

I*M*M*O*R*T*A*L*I*T*Y

Your physical body is composed of light that comes from your every thought. When u feel lost and afraid remember that you are a spirit that is infinite, timeless, tireless, indestructible, sacred, protected and immortal

Prosperity... that's what I would like to say!

I think mirrors in all the bathrooms in this world must be removed. All they do is show you how flabby u are :(. Everyday, u look at urself in one, that paunch makes u feel like a 40 yr old. I'm not saying it OK for me to have one even then... It's just I never realised when the tight set of abs worth showing off during college days disappeared under this protruding bulk of fat! Guess it's only gonna be a 'crunch'y way out!

Finally ...verity

Time for the truth: the response to this previous post
1 . True. Lived in the St. John's Hospital Quarters till I was age 7. Could see the planes land and take off from the HAL airport in Bangalore (was very different back then in the 80s) and wave at them like any other kid 'aeroplane tata aeroplane tata' ... always wishing i would fly one someday!
2. True. Was born premature(7.5 months). My grandma said i actually fit in her palm. :-)
3. True. I really did hate eating until I joined work a few years back. It's a very different story now though!
4. Very True! As absurd as this sounds, I had a very different idea of what is DONE! Until of course the pics and videos that they provided enlightened me. (Didn't take bio in PU).
5. True. Feel dizzy when i look vertically downwards from heights.
6. False! Surprised I'm sure. I did have those glasses. Will probably post a pic sometime. But It was only coz my mummy dear forced me to wear those big fibre frames instead of sleek metal ones. Her reasoning was that metal frames would heat up in the sun and cause burn marks on my nose. Only mums can come up with such things and still make u believe in them. Yeah all the girls i planned to hit on did run away at first sight!
7. True. No surprise here.
8. True. I think they are slimy, gross and mess up the whole place with poop.
9. True. He still boasts about it during friends meet-up days. Me though just like joining in the fun. I'm sure he'll give that another try if i let him do it again!

Ok ... one last statement... see if u can detect how much of it is true here

After UKG, during my summer hols I would roam around the St. John's Hosp Quarters area with a bunch of 5 guys (3 of them were 2 yrs older and other 2 were my age) and 2 street dogs (Jimmy n Andy), chasing chameleons and what we called back then 'King Chameleons' cause they were orange and black. At the end of the hols Jimmy died of rabies and my parents saw Andy jump on me a few days later. Had to take the anti-rabies vaccines cause of this incident beginning month of 1st standard. My love for dogs, nature, friend groups and hatred for lizards all started during this time!
