Sunbath day - Harvesting ground

My whole family is here today, watching the whole world decline...........

Lady pirate from Hainan island

A beautiful lady approach lostin while he is on the way home.

“先生，你有看电影的吗？”
“有啊，妳在卖吖？” Looking at the two big bags she is carrying.
“是啊！要不要到楼梯口来看看？”

Driven by curiosity, lostin followed her to a secure area.

“妳一片DVD卖多少？”
“七块。”
“有没有卖三级片？”
“有啊！你要吗？”
“。。。。”

Make a guess, lostin buy or didn't buy?

New system for bus interchange.

Recently, Singapore bus interchange has got a new queuing system. I think it’s called the handicap queue.
I like the idea very much.
The normal queue was mark by metal bar leading the pedestrian from one end to another without any deviation.

The handicap queue is better. Needy pedestrian will gather in groups just prior to the bus boarding area. When the bus arrived, the normal queue will proceed to board the bus first. However, the best part is here. Whenever pedestrian from the normal queue slacken by even a bit, the handicap queue takes over.

This is by far the best solution I see that the bus station implement to solve the already congested interchange.

But it is to ambiguous, I believe a sign can be hang on top of the area stating “Gather here, if you are old, pregnant, handicap or otherwise think that you are not able to take the normal queue.”

Further more, I think the station control could also draw a red box at the area.

Write this in the box: “Caution! This area is reserve for pedestrian with special needs.”

A bouncer can stand guard at the area to ensure that regulation is not violated.

Off course, if the bus station takes my suggestion seriously. They should hire me as their bus control consultant. Haha!

Most interesting time has yet to arrive

Ruth, like the others in my family, loves my singing. She responses with “Da, da, da!” whenever I hum. Wife comments that we make a great duet in the future.

Oh! Who needs a mistress when you got such a lover at home?

War ‘strolling’ with lostin at Bugis

Actually it was supposed to be war driving, but since I don’t drive, hence war stroll.

After I finished my shopping at Sim Lim, friend and I went to MacDonald for a quick bite. I wanted to inform wife about late coming home, so I take out my Nokia 6260.

Something peculiar appear on my MP, a sentence says: “Bugis Junction”. I enquiry this with the fast food manager but she have no idea.

We went over to the shopping mall area for a walk and the words changed to “Wisma Alsagoff” and then “Bugis Junction 1B”, quite powerful AP around this area.

I am curious and decide to test its limit, so OG we go.

While crossing the road the network change again, this time was “Bugis Village”. Ho, ho! There is no escape. Friend told me this could be use to track criminal carrying electronic gadget in the vicinity. I imagined there was some one sitting in front of a PC with a walkie talkie.

“Eagle one to fox two. Target lostin now at “OG Albert Complex”, proceed to seal off all entrance. Over and out!”

Singapore 3G network huh! I think soon they can tell when you visit Geylang.

So much so for privacy!

Update: This morning when I was working, my phone show: "XXXX Building", I got even more "curious". I called M1 and clarify. The technical support told me, this is not any kind of 3G AP or GPRS tracking, it is only a base station broadcast service provided by M1. You can turn it off if you want. She also told me that there will be no tracking of any kind. I don't buy it, but nonetheless I will leave it "on" because it's interesting.

Nursery rhymes removed for promoting Western Culture

The state of Madhya Pradesh in India, take out most of the famous Western nursery rhymes, like "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" etc, for the children education syllabus. The ideas was for childs in India to " value education in local color." (Link)

I would say this is a profound hatred for the Western Culture.

Science project for my boy

I raed about this 'fun' experiment in Wikihow. Raynor will sure love this.
Very basic things, simple setup with drastic effect. The eruption is said to be able to reach 18 feet. Be sure not to try this at home or party without consent. (Link) to Wikihow: How to Make a Soda Bottle Volcano

Update: The mad Scientist at EepyBird.com explain how the whole things work. (Link)

Singapore night market attraction

One after another pasa malam (night market) has come to Woodlands. While I fetch Raynor from his abacus class, I passed by one this “走江湖”.
“各位大伯，大婶，小弟今天来到此地，不是要卖你膏药。。。”
The crowd that gather to hear his words per night is more than the people that actually come to raed my blog per week(not that I mind). While Dr Chee may deliver powerful democratic speeches, he would not be able to draw such a crowd.

I never stop for another look. As I pass by, the Uncle's exaggerated facts and “powderful” speech still ring in my ear.

I come to a conclusion.

Chinese Singaporean “喜欢看热闹，不喜欢听道理。”

1 degree truth cannot compare to 99 degree of bullshit, what an ironic!

Holy War, should we choose?

I heard that there is a documentary schedule to release, and in my opinion, would have greater impact than the lately “code” movie.
The title is Islam: What the West need to know?
This documentary aims to prove Islam is, in fact a violent religion. On top of this, the 98 minutes film by Quixotic Media, LLC also will try to postulate Islamic Theology split the World into two parts, engage in never ending conflicts and wars. (Link)

What they hope to achieve? That the World be rid of Islam and Muslim?

I hope this also work for Human

Apparently canaries can choose the sex of their babies according to the song of the male.
The male canaries will hone a love song, and how "attractive" the song will determine the size of the eggs lay by the female canaries. larger egg = male birds. (Link)

That was easy! I mean if Human babies can be as simple as that, the earth will be fill with Einstein and Mozart and Super Heroes.. well, maybe not super, just heroes.

Cool and fashionable laptop bag

I found this slick looking gadget bag while reading my daily news.
The maker of LEvertigo Black Pear is Be-ez, who made the travelbag for Ipod. Simple but "in" look, it can also fit in a 15" macbook. The site did not indicate its price, but I am sure its not cheap. (Link)

After my bag retired, I would consider this.

Everybody want to look younger wat!
