Steampunk LEGO Star Wars Contest

Cheeseburger in a Can

I'm a big, big fan of burgers therefore I really hope that someone will bring this Canned Cheeseburger to Singapore so that I can buy one and try it myself to find out if the cheeseburger in the can really tastes as good as it looks in the picture. But seriously, how the hell does one canned a cheeseburger?!

Game Boy Bricks

These bricks shaped to look like Nintendo Game Boys are so cool that I would like to build my entire house with them - and I'm not even a hardcore Nintendo gamer!

Stick Figures in Peril

Stick Figures in Peril is an interesting Flickr pool where you can find photos of warning signs showing stick figures in dangerous, often life-threatening, situations. Poor stick men.

Anybody wants Pork Faggots?



Found on Flickr, Mr Brain's Pork Faggots in a rich west country sauce. No, these balls are not from homosexual pigs! I know they still sound horrible but in reality they are much worse! I checked out Urban Dictionary and it says:

A somewhat disgusting ball of minced lard, gristle, fat, liver, intestine, and occasionally pork meat, preferably served in a "rich western country sauce". Although enjoyed by some, this pork delicacy - courtesy of meat producer "Mr. Brain's" - should probably be avoided.

Watch the choir performance that was banned by Singapore



It seems that in Singapore, foreigners are not allowed to complain about the country. The Media Development Authority (MDA) banned the live outdoor performance of the Complaints Choir of Singapore because it objected to the presence of six foreigners among the 50-member project. It says that the choir's song touched on domestic affairs - something that foreigners have no right to talk (or sing) about. Private indoor performances are still allowed though and the clip above is taken during one of those performances.

Lyrics here:

We get fined for almost everything
Drivers won’t ‘give chance’ when you want to ‘change lane’
The indoors are cold, the outdoors are hot;
And the humid air, it wrecks my hair
Those answering machines always make you hold
Only to hang up on you

When a pregnant lady gets on the train
Everyone pretends to be asleep
I’m stuck with my parents till I’m 35
Cause I can’t apply for HDB
We don’t recycle any plastic bags
But we purify our pee

*chorus:
What’s wrong with Singapore?
Losing always makes me feel so sore
Cause if you’re not the best
Then you’re just one of the rest

My oh my Singapore
What exactly are we voting for?
What’s not expressly permitted
is prohibited

“Ooh”

When I’m hungry at the food court, I see
People ‘chope’ seats with their tissue paper
To the aunty staying upstairs:
Your laundry’s dripping on my bed sheets
Please don’t squat on the toilet seats
And don’t clip your nails on MRT

Stray cats get into noisy affairs
At night my neighbor makes weird animal sounds
People put on fake accents to sound posh
And queue up 3 hours for donuts
Will I ever live till eighty five
to collect my CPF?

*chorus

Singaporeans too kiasu! (so scared to lose)
Singaporeans too kiasi! (so scared o die)
Singaporeans too kiabor!(scared of their wives)
Maybe we’re just too stressed out! (even the kids)

“Ooh”

Old National Library was replaced by an ugly tunnel
Singaporean men can’t take independent women
People blow their nose into the swimming pool
And fall asleep on my shoulder in the train

Singapore’s national bird is the crane (the one with yellow steel girders)
Real estate agents’ leaflets clogging up my mailbox (en bloc, en bloc; en bloc, en bloc)
Why can’t we be buried when we die?
No one wants to climb Bukit Timah with me

*chorus

“Ooh”

There are not enough public holidays
My neighbor sings KTV all night
Wedding dinners never start on time
My hair is always cut shorter than I want
Channel 5 commercials are way too long
Why do men turn bad?

*At first it was to speak more mandarin
Then it was to speak proper English
What’s wrong with my powderful Singlish?

People sit down during rock concerts
We have to pay for tap water at restaurants
ERP gantries are everywhere
But I can still see traffic jams on the road
All the bus stops have tilted benches to keep you off balance

*chorus

So she set up her own business selling her lovely creations. Check out her cookies and cakes here.

Scary ads by TODAY newspaper

P20-01-08_10.34

P20-01-08_10.41

I'm sure most of you may have seen these ads on TODAY newspaper recently. They are designed to attract recruiters to advertise on the free daily tabloid. I don't know about you but I think these ads are so damn scary that they could give anyone nightmares. Look at those oversized eyes. Are these companies recruiting normal human beings or alien-human hybrids? Crikey!

When Disney characters go wild

The Disneyland Memorial Orgy is the work of Mad artist Wally Wood back in 1967. I don't think Walt Disney would be too happy seeing this parody of his beloved characters gone wild in a mass orgy setting in the park. Oh well, go Goofy!

The Great Australian Roadtrip

Two Indian dudes spent 71 days riding their bikes on a roadtrip across the Australia continent. On their blog The Great Australia Road Trip, you can read about their day to day experiences. Below, I've included an excerpt from Day 9 of their roadtrip in which they traveled from Katoomba to Sydney, two of my favourite places down under:

We took the Bells line of road via Lithgow. The road was very beautiful but the rain marred the complete beauty and made us concentrate much more on the road ahead with slippery factors than we should have. The distance was short today and we hoped to arrive early in Sydney and meet up with Mick, Editor of AMCN. Fate had some other plans. We surely arrived at the outskirts of Sydney pretty early, around 12.30 Pm, but the city took us by surprise. Sydney had worse traffic than many Indian metropolitan cities. OK, the horns were not there, people werent shouting, but the traffic was slow as if it were following a snail. For an outsider Sydney would be really hard to traverse with all those one ways, tons of confusing road signs and traffic.

Warning: Satellite could crash to Earth!

Take cover! A satellite the size of a bus containing rocket fuel that is hazardous to humans could crash to Earth in the next few weeks. The scary part: It could land anywhere! I'm interested to know the odds of it hitting Singapore. From Telegraph:

It is understood that American politicians and world leaders are being kept abreast of the situation.

In response to the reports Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said: "Appropriate government agencies are monitoring the situation.

"Numerous satellites over the years have come out of orbit and fallen harmlessly. We are looking at potential options to mitigate any possible damage this satellite may cause."

He refused to discuss specifics, such as whether the satellite might be destroyed with a missile. But such a move is considered unlikely by experts as it would create a rain of debris which could cause more widespread damage.

We're Brothers Forever



Everyone that I know is talking about Renaldo Lapuz's performance on American Idol. He sang his own song called We're Brothers Forever. I agree with Simon. This song is going to be a hit. Maybe it already is. The guy is definitely much better than William Hung and with a name like Renaldo, how can he not be a star aye. Expect a record deal for him soon.

Everyone!

"I am your brother
Your best friend forever
Singing the songs,
the music that you like.

We're brothers till the end of time
Together or not, you're always in my heart
Your hurt, your feelings, in you will reign no more."

The Human Superman

Yven "Fusionman" Rossy had enough of the restrictions of flying in a normal airplane, so he straps himself onto a pair of jet powered wings that allows him to fly like Superman or the Rocketeer.

Hamburger Dress

Somehow this Hamburger Dress by Joy Kampia is making me real hungry. She writes on her website, ""Because I enjoy the irony between subject matter and material, I have merged my favorite subject matter (food) with my favorite process (crochet)... I am a passionate advocate for crochet as an art medium--going beyond its traditional uses and exploring its limitless possibilities. By taking both food and crochet out of their ordinary settings, I hope to challenge the viewer's preconceived notions of their roles. And I hope it makes people hungry." It sure does Joy. It sure does. Yum.

The other Tom Cruise video the Church of Scientology doesn't want you to see



The Church of Scientology has been giving out Cease and Desist letters to sites like Gawker and YouTube for hosting a video of Tom Cruise talking about Scientology. The full video is still being hosted by Gawker here and you can still find copies of it on YouTube. In the video, Tom shows everyone why he and his favourite religion Scientology are both crazy. Here's part of the transcript:

We are the authorities in getting people off drugs. We are the authorities on the mind. We are the authorities on improving conditions. Criminals, we can rehabilitate criminals. Way to happiness, we can bring peace and unite cultures, uh, that once you know these tools and you know that they work, it’s not good enough that I’m just (doing okay?)...

It is the time now. Now is the time, okay? It is, being a Scientologist, people are turning to you, so you better know it. You better know it, and if you don’t, you know, go (sound deleted, appears to be “fucking”) learn it. (Laughs) You know? But don’t pretend you know it and, or whatever. It’s like, we’re here to help. (cut)

If you’re a Scientologist, you see life, you see things the way that they are. In all its glory, you know, all of its complexity. Uh, the more you know as a Scientologist, you don’t become overwhelmed by it. (cut)
Only Tom can make Scientology sound crazier than it already is. Anyway, watch the video above which is a mash up of the Tom Cruise Scientology video, a scene of Days of Thunder and a Will Smith interview! It's funny. Oh wait. Should I be even posting this on my blog? Hmmm. Hopefully the Scientologists and Tom won't come and get me for this. I really don't want Tom to jump on my couch. That's scary.

Putting an end to bad design

Thanks to the folks behind Design Police, now you can bring bad design to justice. Just download their Visual Enforcement Kit and then cut and paste the right labels to paste on a bad design that you see on the streets. It could be a poorly cut typeface or severe lack of creativity. No more bad design!

How to make a Samurai Cat

Jeff de Boer, a multi-media artist known for making incredible armour suits for cats and mice using materials like steel, silver, brass, bronze, nickel, copper, leather, fibre, and/or wood, shows us how to make a Samurai Cat. I wonder if he has tried fitting one of his armour suits on a real cat or mouse.

The world's most controversial boardgames

Deputydog lists the world's most controversial boardgames. The War On Terror game designed by 2 Cambridge entrepreneurs, is among the list: "Everyone starts with the best intentions. Then things start to get cramped. Then you notice your neighbour has more oil than you. Before long, war is waged, nukes are dropped, revolutions are fought and terrorists are doing your dirty work, before turning on you..." Sounds like fun.

Is Scrabble right to shut down Scrabulous?

The companies behind Scrabble have asked Facebook to shut down the popular Facebook appplication Scrabulous (you can also play it on its own website here) because it infringes their copyright. From BBC:

Scrabulous is currently one of Facebook's ten most popular applications - little programs that Facebook members can add to the profiles they maintain on the site.

The request to remove the add-on came from both Hasbro and Mattel because ownership of the Scrabble trademark is split between the two. Hasbro owns rights to the game in the US and Canada while Mattel has rights everywhere else in the world.

Facebook told the PA newswire that it had no comment to make at this stage.

The Scrabulous add-on was not created by Facebook but was built for the site by Rajat and Jayant Agarwalla - software developers based in Calcutta.
I have yet to play Scrabulous on my Facebook (really) but I'm sure it is as fun as playing the real Scrabble. Scrabulous is a very popular Facebook app with 603,014 daily active users. Instead of forcing the shutdown of Scrabulous, I think Mattel and Hasbro should have worked with the Scrabulous founders instead - either by asking them to make Scrabulous an official Scrabble entity or have Scrabble become the main sponsor for the app. Only after failing in those areas, should Mattel and Hasbro get their lawyers and sue the living daylights out of those two Indian founders. Scrabble has this big chance to get its product and branding across to these 603,014 users (and growing) on Facebook. By shutting down Scrabulous and angering all its thousands of users, it may have just lost this huge Facebook marketing opportunity. And that unfortunately is a bad business decision.

Why are clowns scary?

Are you afraid of clowns? Don't worry. You're not alone. BBC News Magazine finds out why those comic performers with colored wigs, stylistic makeup and outlandish costumes, are so scary to some. From BBC:

Prof Paul Salkovskis, clinical director of the Maudsley Hospital Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma, saw a patient in Yorkshire some years ago who feared clowns as one of a range of problems.

But he believes children's fear may be less to do with clowns per se and more to do with being unsettled by something as unusual-seeming as a clown.

"People are typically frightened by things which are wrong in some way, wrong in a disturbingly unfamiliar way," Prof Salkovskis says.

"It is almost certainly not a reaction to clowns, but we are sensitive to things which are extraordinary, particularly sensitive when we are young. My three-year-old was terrified by Peter Rabbit at a B&Q. Peter Rabbit is six inches high, not seven feet high."

Be careful when you buy used panties online



I've been receiving a sudden sharp increase in readership (in the thousands) since yesterday and someone told me it's because the New Paper ran a story about Pamela, the Singapore school girl who is selling her used bra and panties online. It seems that after the New Paper story, lots of people are searching the net about her and these people came to my blog to look for used panties. Hello, you perverts!

Anyway, for those of you who are really interested in buying used panties either from Pamela or from other sources, please watch the video above and take some precaution. You may never know where these panties really come from.

As for Pamela, some told me that she's not really a schoolgirl and that she's actually a guy. Crikey! I only know one thing. I must start selling my used boxers on my blog. You people must support by buying ok?

Transformers Beginnings

Transformers Beginnings is a prequel to the Transformers movie that tells the story of what happened before Optimus Prime and Megatron came to Earth. A pity it's only a semi-animated short film that looks like a cheap cut and paste job - they used the illustrations from the Transformers Movie prequel comic book series - but at least you can still hear the familiar voices of Optimus Prime and some characters from the actual movie. Also Megatron is voiced by Frank Welker, the dude who did the original Megatron voice in the old cartoon series.

Crazy MIT study on the effectiveness of aluminium foil helmets

Some folks from the MIT did a study in 2005 about the effectiveness of aluminium foil helmets. According to the study, some paranoid people believe that the government has been using satellites to read and control the minds of certain citizens and they think that the use of aluminum helmets can protect the wearer against these invasive radio signals. The authors of the study tested four different aluminium foil helmets to find out if they really work. Crazy!

A Day in the Life of a World of Warcraft addict

Stacey is a World of Warcraft (WoW) addict. In a story written by her for The Escapist Magazine, she tells us how she got hooked to the game and how is it like to live a life as a WoW addict. From The Escapist:

I do get scared when I write that. I've been living partially in a game for the past three years. I've never spent that much time doing anything, let alone playing one game. Even when I'm not in the game, part of me is indeed still there. When my husband and I go out for dinner or a drink, WoW is often a main topic of conversation. Yes, he plays too.

Yet, I can't bring myself to give the game up. Nor do I want to. Neither of us do. After all, as the professionals say, “The family that plays together, stays together.” Why break up a good thing?

He's partially to blame for my obsession. If it weren't for him, chances are I never would have heard of Azeroth. For that matter, I probably wouldn't have heard of many of the games I've enjoyed so much, and I certainly wouldn't have chosen the computer as my favorite platform. If we'd never met, I probably wouldn't have a favorite platform at all.

A Girl's Guide to Geek Guys

Here's a guide for you ladies who would like to have a man of substance, quietude and stability, a cerebral creature with a culture all his own - the geek! Good luck. From Girl Guide to Geeks:

Because they have been so abused and ignored by society, many geeks have gone underground. You may actually know some and just haven't noticed them. They often feel resentful, and misunderstood, and it is important to realize this as you grow closer to them. Don't ever try to force the issue, or make crazy demands that he choose between his computer and you. Remember, his computer has been there for him his whole life; you are a new interloper he hasn't quite grasped yet.

Geek dudes thrive on mystery and love challenges and intellectual puzzles. Don't you consider yourself one? Wouldn't you like a little intellectual stimulation or your own? We thought so.

Steampunk LEGO Tie-Fighter

After looking at this homemade model of a steampunk Tie-Figther in LEGO, I think the folks at LEGO should seriously start talking to George Lucas about starting a new line of official Star Wars steampunk LEGO toys.

Custom figures of Justice League and Star Wars

Amazing custom figures of Superman and the rest of the Justice League heroes made to look like they came from the Victorian era! I love the Superman outfit. The dude behind these also created an equally amazing set of custom figures of Star Wars like you have never seen before!

Pictures of interesting mailboxes

Sam says, "I have always been impressed by the ability of a craftsman to take a boring mailbox and make it into a thing of interest, adventure or beauty-- Or simply mount it in a way to catch my eye-- We all see them every day but some are really neat-- below are a few that I have taken and yours that have been sent to me but we would also like a picture of the neat mailboxes in your neighborhood."

The Babe behind Online Pasar Malam

Qiuting

I chatted with my mate Qiuting (she's really cute!) yesterday to find out what's she's been up to after she quit flying. Qiuting has a blogshop, Online Pasar Malam (show her some love and check it out aye!) and in this Q&A, she tells me about it.

I.Z: So tell me about your blog mate.

QT: How should I better put it than bluntly that my blogshop is for pretty ladies or ladies who wants to be pretty. That I hope will mean every lady out there. It's clothings that will only compliment ladies. And the blogshop is also about offering clothings that doesn't appears just anywhere on anyone else walking the street of Sg... Oh and i secretly think my blog sells becox of the LadyBoss being friendly. Heh.

I.Z: What's the idea behind Online Pasar Malam?

QT: Mainly to make some side cash. Hey, gotta pay for the family and gotta pay to maintain the beauty, right. And also i really enjoy doing it. In fact I started this blog becox two things happen simultaneously.. One) I need to clear my wardrobe of unworn clothings. Two) i need some spare cash for that long over-due hp bills.

I.Z: The clothes n stuff u sell on your blogshop? Are they yours?

QT: Erm.. My stock, my personal choice.. Yes.. But they are all brought in meant for sale. For myself I am mostly seen in Tees and shorts less I am heading to town.

I.Z: Has business been good? How many clothes have you sold?

QT: I would say max at 40 pcs. It isn't so easy but really, I enjoy it a lot. And I would love to make this a thing I do til I don't know how to use blogger! It might just happen man, things are changing so too-damn fast.

I.Z: There are thousands of guys and girls reading this blog daily and I'm sure they wanna know more about yourself.

QT: Do I have to say I am quite nice as a person? Haha. I was waitressing for an airline before i stopped a while ago. And that gives me A LOT MORE time to spend with my sweetheart and the five Silberian Huskies in the house. So now I am practically a part-time tai-tai, blogshop ladyboss, dogs keeper and housemaker. Oh and, I REALLY LOVE AND HATE CHOCOLATE. Girls will understand why.

I.Z: So how long have u been blogging?

QT: I've been blogging for over 3 years.. the native ones were deleted. Nobody adores teenage girls who goes "12 pm i woke up.. 1pm go meet XXX.. Then we walk around orchard and bugis and then head back to (wherever) to have a late lunch.. I hate school!" You know what i mean, like a logbook thingy, I deleted those. Haha! Was really a internet bimbo with dozens of blogs.

I.Z: Any other blogs that u have?

QT:My pet blog at mobinstyle.blogspot.com. This is collab-blog with a friend. Selling higher end products.

I.Z: What about your favourite blogs?

QT: Of course it'd have to be this one that YOU are reading - IZ RELOADED! I LOVE XIAXUE too!!! And singleserves.blogspot.com

I.Z: Lastly, I'm sure you have read about the Singaporean student selling her used bra and panties on her website. What do you think of that? And can we expect you to start selling yours on your Online Pasar Malam? I'm sure plenty of guys will buy 'em.

QT: I think she's a good citizen. Remember Reuse, Reduce, Recyle? And mine, you heard of WLL (Wait Long Long)? I don't wanna have someone out there wanking off to my panties/me for what, $6!?! Try $6000! Then maybe we could talk. Haha!

Wedding cake that looks like the bride

Bride gets a huge wedding cake that looks just like her! It took a week to make and a week to eat. I don't know man. If someone makes me a cake that looks like me, I don't think I would want anyone to eat it. Heck! I wouldn't even eat it myself.

My Fake Baby

I wonder which is more disturbing - men who keep love dolls (sex dolls) as their partners or women who spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on fake baby dolls? These baby dolls are known as "reborns", state of the art, designer dolls - some with hearts, others have tiny veins and even milk spots. They look so real that many people can't tell that they are fakes. The women who are obsessed with them, love them like real babies. Crikey! Please get a dog or cat, ladies! Watch the documentary about these "reborns" and their mothers here.

Star Wars Guide to the US Presidential Candidates

For those of you who have no idea who are the leading candidates running for the US Presidential elections, here's a Star Wars Guide to the Candidates to help you out:

Hillando Clintrissian (aka Hillary Clinton)

Here's the thing. The Millenium Falcon was hers to begin with. She only lost it to Bill on a bet. Then she got caught up in that whole Cloud City thing in the Bespin system, which proved she could govern, I guess, but she's kinda hoping you won't remember that she totally sold out the Rebels to Darth Vader. That's how J'han Solo wound up encased in Carbonite and Leia ended up in a bikini on a chain. Hmmm. Actually, not so bad! And Hillando did do some nifty piloting against the New and Improved Death Star. Didn't she also record "Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run)"?

Private Harry Lamin's World War I Letters

The grandson of a World War I English soldier is posting his grandfather's letters written during the war. From WW1: Experiences of an English Soldier:

During his time in the army, he wrote letters home to his brother and sister. They were kept and handed down to me, his grandson.

I have transcribed the letters and added commentary so that references can make sense.

What has been produced is a moving and poignant account of an ordinary man's experiences in an extraordinary situation.

I have edited nothing. The spellings and grammar are exactly as Harry wrote them.

The intention of this blog is to publish the letters exactly 90 years after Harry wrote them. His first letter from the training camp was written on February 7th 1917. It will be published on the blog on February 7th 2007.

Each letter will appear on the correct date from then on. There are gaps where no letters are available for several weeks. I have no explanations. Maybe they were lost. I have no idea.

If you wish to find out Harry's fate then you'll have to access the blog as the new letters arrive.

Puzzle Alarm Clock will wake you up!

I don't know why anybody would pay US$97 for an alarm clock that wakes you up by firing four puzzle pieces up in the air, and then turns off only when you put the pieces back together again. The Puzzle Alarm Clock does all this and it is guaranteed to wake you up. And I would guess it also is of one time use only because I can see a lot of unhappy people waking up and smashing the clock to the wall because their brains are ineffective to puzzle solving in the early morning.

Indian Sweet Child O' Mine



My favourite rock anthem of all time, Sweet Child O' Mine performed by some Indian dudes - two of them playing the sitar, one playing the tabla and one old man doing the vocals. Nothing much with the vocals but I like the way he ended it by saying "Sweet Child O' Mine" with an Hindi accent. Here's the original by Guns N' Roses.

Altered Books

Altered Books make me wanna go look for some old books, tear the pages off and then try to find poems in them by the "process of obliteration". Oh well, it's definitely a good excuse for me to play with my crayons and markers again!

5 July 2008: The End of The World

According to the sex crazed folks at the Church of the SubGenius, the end of the world will fall on 5th of July 2008. Mark your calendars everyone! From the news release:

The Church of the SubGenius has announced that the end of the world will take place on Saturday, July 5, 2008. In preparation for the fulfillment of this doomsday prophecy, the Church is requesting that all of its members participate in a bizarre religious ceremony taking place in upstate New York, during the final weekend before the arrival of the apocalypse.

Since its inception in 1953, Church founder J.R. "Bob" Dobbs has predicted that a fleet of flying saucers will arrive at the beginning of July to destroy the worldwide Conspiracy against the Church of the SubGenius, while all ordained SubGenius ministers will be rescued by escape vessels piloted by the Alien Sex Goddesses, also known as the Xists.

The Church is inviting all of its members worldwide to gather together for the final hours in Sherman, New York from Wednesday, July 2 to Sunday, July 6, at a clothing-optional outdoor campground called Brushwood Folklore Center. The first gathering at this compound took place in 1996, and the event has increased in size and participants each following year. 1998 was designated the first true "X-Day," and each successive year has added one to the total. This year's celebration in 2008 is X-Day 11, or X-Day XI.
Hey, the end of the world can't be that bad with Alien Sex Goddesses around aye! But something is telling me that come July 5 this year, the X-Day will come and go leaving behind lots of drunken, sex-charged, crazy ufo cult loving party-goers but no end of the world. Darn it! Oh well there's always X-Day 12 to look forward to.

No Chua Soi Lek sex clip here!

I'm sure all of you have read about the latest scandal hitting our neighbours up north. Malaysia's Health Minister Chua Soi Lek shocked everyone when he resigned after he admitted appearing in two widely circulated sex dvds. Yup, that's the same Health Minister that once said, "Abstinence is still the best way. And be faithful to your partner. It also boils down to both partners being responsible. Do not blame anybody." Right. Screwing his personal friend is his idea of being faithful, I guess. Great job Chua!

Now, everyone has been asking me if I know how to watch the dvds online. Argh! Do I look like some online p0rn expert to you guys? Anyway, I hate to disappoint my friends and readers so here's the next best thing. Watch it (safe for work) below.



Imagine Chua Soi Lek as Tigger, his personal friend as Elmo and another friend as the Teletubby. Enjoy.

I am telemarketers' worst nightmare



Just half an hour ago, I had a phone call from one of those irritating telemarketers. This is how it went.

Telemarketer (with a strong Indian accent): Hello. Can I speak to Mr I.Z please?

Me : Who is this speaking?

Telemarketer: Are your Mr I.Z?

Me (suspecting he is a telemarketer): Who are you?

Telemarketer: I'm looking for Mr I.Z. Are you Mr I.Z?

Me: I'm I.Z Reloaded (nearly wanna laugh). What is this about?

Telemarketer: So you Mr I.Z? Mr I.Z, I want to ask you if you are looking to sell or buy properties.

Me (fark! property telemarketer!): What? Sell or buy properties? How you know?!

Telemarketer: Sir, I have you on my database of people looking to buy or sell properties.

Me: What is a database?

Telemarketer: Sorry sir?

Me: What do you mean by database?

Telemarketer: Database sir, we have a list of people's names and phone numbers.

Me: Wow. How much did you buy that database for?

Telemarketer: (went silent for a few seconds) Mr I.Z, are you looking to buy or sell a property?

Me: Hmmm. Not currently but are you looking to buy or sell one yourself? I can recommend you to a good property agent. (ok. now I'm starting to crack up)

Telemarketer: No no sir. I mean I'm asking you if you want to buy or sell your property.

Me: Nope.

Telemarketer: Oh. Are you interested in buying property in India, sir?

Me: Huh? India?! Why India?

Telemarketer: I'm from an international property company sir.

Me: Got Batam?

Telemarketer: Batam? No sir. We only have India.

Me: But I thought you said you are from an international property company. How can you not sell property in Batam?

Telemarketer (I can sense he is frustrated now): Mr I.Z, I'm sorry we do not have any Batam now.

Me: Have you been to Batam? Have you seen what a good place it is to do property there? Let me talk to your boss. He must sell Batam.

Telemarketer: (went silent again for a few seconds) Mr I.Z, I'm really sorry. So you do not want to buy India property?

Me: I want Batam. You call me again when you have Batam ok.

Telemarker: Ok dokie. Thank you Mr I.Z. Good bye.

Me: Bye.

I could have gone for another half an hour with him but too bad, lunch is waiting.

For Sale: Singaporean girl's used Panties and Bra



I was looking at my blog's stats and found out that a lot of you are searching for the blog of the Singaporean girl that is selling her used bra and panties online, thanks to the news story that I posted on New Year's eve. Tsk. You perverts!

The girl, 18 year old Pamela, has recently moved from her Blogspot to a new domain at SG-Panties.com! Wow. Business must be booming. From SG-Panties (Link is not safe for work):

Hi boys! ;) I am just your average schoolgirl selling her panties to h0rny boys like you, with the exception that I am one really really h0rny schoolgirl. :P

I am doing this so that I can make some money while I am studying, so do support me if you see something you like ok?
She provides shipping to Singapore and Malaysia. And interested buyers of her used bra and panties can also order some extra services. For example, you can choose if you like her panties to be worn for 6 hours or 12 hours or 24 hours before she ships them to you. There's also a m4stur3at10n option for those who prefer extra soiling. Crikey! Singaporean kids today are so enterprising aye. I wonder if anyone would actually buy my used boxers. How about $30 for a pair? Any buyers?
