A blog reader requested that I post this. His friend’s dog went missing yesterday. Do help keep a lookout if you live near Hougang St 51. Thanks!
Click.
I know how it feels to lose a pet. Hope Fluffy is found soon!
I has a new Firefox skin! =D

From here, with Firefox 3.6.
Hope to find time to make my own.
Was chatting with Swordplay about link spam and chain e-mails and thought of writing a spoof one for fun. But I couldn’t think of any good ones so I googled and saw this.
It’s funny! =D
There are also different versions for disgruntled wives and employees around.
I was thinking of ordering KFC for lunch so I googled “kfc delivery” and saw this:

LOL. The paid link on top goes to McDelivery. McDonald’s trying to poach KFC customers?
Visited Buckaroo BBQ & Grill for spicy buffalo wings, supposedly similar to Sunset Grill & Pub’s wings.
Tried Level 3. Spicer. Looks and tastes different. Not nice! Won’t be going back again. Still love Sunset Grill! =D
Last night, while waiting for the Goonfather to come watch TV with me, I bought a PopCap game through Steam. I had resisted for a week cos it costs USD9.90 and I was scared I would get bored of it quickly.
Whaddya know, less than 24 hours after I bought the game, I received an e-mail saying my application to be a PopCap beta tester had been accepted and I could now play ALL PopCap games for free.
ARRGH. Could have saved my money! But I’m having fun now playing PopCap games free. You can apply for it, too! (Only for SE Asia.) Click here! =)
Cookie Monster is watching you!
Project: Vacuum The Goonfather’s Tummy failed cos he was lying too far from my PC, and my USB vaccum cleaner could only reach the edge of his tummy. Plus he kept wriggling with ticklishness.
Erm… I spilled prawn cracker crumbs on him while we were watching TV in bed.
Kerr tries to hack into the Goonfather’s Alienware laptop (using facial recognition login) by using TGF’s photo. LOL.
(He didn’t succeed, of course, even after trying a few different photos.)
Wen and I set out to make friendship bands last week. We got impatient halfway and cut short our work, so our bands became rings.

hey Sheylara,
They gave you an arguably crappy topic and you found a real interesting angle!
There is something about the “citizen journalism” you see practised that just gives me a queasy stomach feeling. Is it voyeurism? Some kind of vicarious drug?
There also seems to be an insidious expectation that just because you blog, you necessarily must have pretensions to the high art of journalism. That’s just patently false. Sure, some do have the ambition, while others are just happy to chat to themselves and their friends in a public forum. Much like an overheard conversation at Bugis.
You should write more on this. I for one would be real interested to hear what you think. Why is it like this? Is it just “growing pains” and naivete? Is Singapore leading or lagging in developing a mature blogging/citizen journalism culture? (Don’t mention the ABS!!)
btw, I prefer to comment on your blog here because stomp makes my eyes water;-) … a designer’s nightmare on elm street!!
pratalife: Thanks for your comment. :) I would love to write more on this… but it’s a hassle writing serious articles cos you need to do the research and get all your statistics and quotes and whatnot right. Haha. Nowadays, that kind of thing is a luxury I have no time for! :P
But I suppose I might just do it if I bugs me enough. There are many issues that bug me. I just don’t have the time to write about them.
Why don’t YOU write something? You seem to have pretty sound views on the whole issue. :)
a good read :)
I hold similar views regarding to what extent is PDA inappropriate.
Honestly, I think there are truckloads of voyeuristic crap on STOMP.
Do you know that there’s an initiative to shutdown STOMP? I wrote a post about it and compiled a list of really lame “news” on STOMP. ^^
Stomp out STOMP
