This dog (above) was spotted along Simei Street 1 on Sunday afternoon. Apparently, he was on his way to dinner went spotted in a ocean blue car. What was interesting is that it had its head 'sticking' out and caught many motorists and pedestrains' attention. It was friendly and was not at all causing nuisance. In fact, it greeted all along the way.

During a traffic stop, we managed to interview this dog from our side window (yes, we parked beside it). His name was Goofy. When interviewed why he like his head out, Goofy replied, "I like the feeling of moving air. Constant motion of air keeps my fur in check. Also, it ventilates my owner's car. We share different liking for smell."

When asked if he would ever consider jumping out while on the move, Goofy recalls how dangerous Singapore road is. "I had a friend in the US. His name was MeeSiam. MeeSiam one day decided to commit suicide because his girlfriend, Meepok, had an affair with another dog from college. MeeSiam jumped onto the highway, but the car managed to stop. But I dunno much about the Singapore roads. I like to think that Singapore cars are more likely to flatten an animal than jam-break and risking a collision from behing."

Goofy was kind enough to share with Darnie Network News the footage of the incident (See Below):

Goofy urges Singaporeans to love animals more and not to shelf them when they start to have no time to care for their pets.

Frankly speaking, at first glance, the person depicted in the photo looks like Ben. But at 2nd glance, it kinda looks like Janielle. But at 3rd glance, it looks abit like Chingfen. But then again, it kinda looks like Seth. So who is this person? *Puzzled*

*Shhhh* Not alot of people know that I dislike Ryan, my baby nephew... you know why?...... Because he is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo handsome!!! =D Well, if you are interested in introducing your baby girls to Ryan, I am agreeing to be the agent. [I take 5% commision]

I must blog about this...

They say Singapore is prospering and we are better off. When my stall is making money, i am punished to pay higher rent. I am better off so much that I can afford a car, I am made to pay ERP. Interesting...

They say GST must go up so we can help the poor. But I tot taking away GST helps the poor? heh...

Why doesnt the Governemnt just take all PROFIT from ERP and channel to help the poor? In this case, we can control traffic and force people to help the poor, rather than those stupid "Tax-exempt" Manure....

I remembered how Yuhong's blog got famous when he blogged about out our SMU advertising prof Jorg Dietzel. He got REALLY famous. Even this term, Prof was still advertising his blog.

I recently stumbled upon a youtube video titled Jorg. What is did not know is that Jorg is pronouced "Gorrrggee" rather than the "york" that I thought it was. Nonetheless, enjoy this interesting director's video.

Garbage Balancer

Singapore, Singapore Management University (SMU) - The Singapore Management University made a splash with students in Singapore when competition for a place was red hot. Even NTU and NUS felt the heat and launced a series of campaign to woo students back. NUS even went into hot tomato soup when it launched a really corny ad for its business school, trying to prove itself as even better than the Ivy League.

The SMU had been hot debate among employers here in Singapore as well. SMU is supposed to produce the leaders of tomorrow. However, it failed to produce enough graduates who gives a **** about cleanliness. The sight in the picture can be seen almost everyday outside the Seminar Rooms when lessons end.

"I dunno why the kids of today so unconsiderate!" says Mdm Tan, a cleaner with SMU. Many other shares her plight, having to clean up choked bins outside the SRs. This is not all. Many students left their drinks, tissues and even used condoms in the rooms after they had left.

Until students can learn to care a lil more, they are merely nothing more than "Garbage-Balancer"

This column is dedicated to the rants of life. This week, our CEO Darnie makes his confession.

"I studied real hard. I toiled and memorized. This mid-term is important to me. In the end, I got a C- for the mid-terms, the lousiest Grade in my entire SMU experience. To make matter worst, my project report and presentation got A+ both. If only I have a better grade for the mid-terms, I can confirm a A+ for this COMM201. Life is really unpredictable. I am upset. I am a guy but so what? Real man beats his heart." - Darnie, CEO, Darnie Network News

In memory of a courage filled young Singaporean lady, Joan Chan Shu Fang

http://joanchanshufang.blogspot.com/

"I think the story of Joan is an inspiration. I've heard about her. I've seen news about her. Her story made me realise how pathethic I am. Here I am, ranting about how unfair life is to me, there she chose to live a life where when everything is crashing down, she stills embrace life as a gift from God. What makes a man great? We come and we go. Death is the ONLY thing certain about humans. What Joan did, was to leave behind a legacy that will live forever. Her story will inspire. It will live on. Why? Because I can see my circumstances, and say 'Perhaps I can live the way Joan did. And I will find that there is meaning to even the worst things in life. Life is a gift from God, no matter what your financial or health situation is, no matter how ugly or pretty you are, no matter how disabled you are born..... if God had gave Joan the reason to smile at the cruel things in human life, why can't I do the same about God's gift?" - Darnie

SINGAPORE BREAKING NEWS

Singapore, Nationwide - The Singapore nation's blogosphere declared a state of emergency when a leader of an insurgent group called Elitist launched a terror aattack on the poor and innocent of the state. Armed with weapons of mass verbalism, the leader, only known as E, attacked the state blogosphere at local time 1714H.

Witnesses reported outcry of the innocent, poor and dying. "It was terrible!" said 62 year old Jeremy Coey, a factory worker earning less than $900 a month, supporting a family of 5. "How can they look down upon us and attack us? What do they know about our lives?"

25 year old Jorg Mosey Josua said, "I cannot see how our circumstances in life made us deserving of this terror attack?"

As the nation bands together to fight this new realm of terror, much is being said about how the great wealth divide is tearing the nation apart.

"There will be a day when the elites will look down on pedestrians and people taking public transport. They will sit in their flashy car and honk at the elderly for hogging the road during while crossing. They will say "Damn this ah pek, I wish I can knock him aside, but then, I doubt he can pay the the damange to my car."" said 73 year old PR Manson Gary Chua.

An excerpt is taking from the blogosphere:

From Ms WeeThursday, October 19, 2006

mom’s friend sent her some blog post by some bleeding stupid 40-year old singaporean called derek wee (WHY do all the idiots have my surname why?!) whining about how singapore is such an insecure place, how old ppl (ie, 40 and above) fear for their jobs, how the pool of foreign “talent” (dismissively chucked between inverted commas) is really a tsunami that will consume us all (no actually he didn’t say that, he probably said Fouren Talern Bery Bad.), how the reason why no one wants kids is that they’re a liability in this world of fragile ricebowls, how the government really needs to save us from inevitable doom but they aren’t because they are stick-shoved-up-ass elites who have no idea how the world works, yadayadayadayada.

i am inclined - too much, perhaps - to dismiss such people as crackpots. stupid crackpots. the sadder class. too often singaporeans - both the neighborhood poor and the red-taloned socialites - kid themselves into believing that our society, like most others, is compartmentalized by breeding.

sad derek attracted more than 50 comments praising him for his poignant views, joining him in a chorus of complaints that climax at the accusation of lack of press freedom because his all-too-true views had been rejected by the straits times forum. while i tend to gripe about how we only have one functioning newspaper too, i think the main reason for its lack of publication was that his incensed diatribe was written in pathetic little scraps that passed off as sentences, with poor spelling and no grammar.

derek, derek, derek darling, how can you expect to have an iron ricebowl or a solid future if you cannot spell?
if you’re not good enough, life will kick you in the balls. that’s just how things go. there’s no point in lambasting the government for making our society one that is, i quote, “far too survival of fittest”. it’s the same everywhere. yes discrimination exists, and it is sad, but most of the time if people would prefer hiring other people over you, it’s because they’re better. it’s so sad when people like old derek lament the kind of world that singapore will be if we make it so uncertain. go be friggin communist, if uncertainty of success offends you so much - you will certainly be poor and miserable. unless you are an arm-twisting commie bully, which, given your whiny middle-class undereducated penchant, i doubt.

then again, it’s easy for me to say. my future isn’t certain but i guess right now it’s a lot brighter than most people’s. derek will read this and brand me as an 18-year old elite, one of the sinners who will inherit the country and run his stock to the gutter. go ahead. the world is about winners and losers. it’s only sad when people who could be winners are marginalised and oppressed. is dear derek starving? has dear derek been denied an education? has dear derek been forced into child prostitution? has dear derek had his clan massacred by the government?

i should think not. dear derek is one of many wretched, undermotivated, overassuming leeches in our country, and in this world. one of those who would prefer to be unemployed and wax lyrical about how his myriad talents are being abandoned for the foreigner’s, instead of earning a decent, stable living as a sales assistant. it’s not even about being a road sweeper. these ****bags don’t want anything without “manager” and a name card.

please, get out of my elite uncaring face.

RUDE SHOCK FOR SINGAPOREAN SHOPPERS

Singapore, Dhoby X-Change - Shoppers at the Dhoby X-Change were in for a rude shock when they visited the underground mall's toilet. Many realised in astonishment at how shiny and smooth the tiles that were used for the toilet floor.

24-yr old SMU student Darnie visited the toilet one day and had to go through a terrible ordeal when people from the next cubicle could see him when he was passing motion. "I was stuck inside for awhile because I had a tummy discomfort. It suddenly dawned upon me that people beside my cubicle or those in front of the door could see me through the mirror reflection on the ground! I used my pants to block out those compromising views," said Darnie.

This situation is not new. Many shopping centres around Singapore used shiny tiles for their toilets. Until management do something about it, males and females alike are at risk of being 'observed'.
