Genius Architecture

This is the entrance to the MRT (metro system for you international readers). It's not exactly revolutionary architecture in terms of design or aesthetics.

Quite possibly designed by the man who drew up the architectural plans for ION ORCHARD (the building in the background), the dome shaped entryway with positive meniscus glass configuration is a SCIENTIFIC MARVEL.

Why you ask?

At 200km north of the equator, Singapore enjoys clear blue skies and an ambient average daily temperature of a warm 32 degrees celcius. The unrelenting sunlight allows many Singaporean women to develop hot, luxurious tans- giving East-asian women living in this jewel of the orient their trademarked sarong party yummy qualities so beloved by ang-moh (western) men.

Ok. We've established: Singapore is hot. The minions on this little islet are inundated with powerful sunrays daily.

Science 101: Positive Meniscus lens
A positive meniscus series of glass panels placed in a dome configuration like the one featured in the picture at the start of the article achieves roughly the same effects of this home-made solar death ray.

Archimedes created something similar in 212BC, the power of 112 rays of sunlight on ONE single focused point. Here's the catch, the Archimedean death sun didn't have the technical and technological tolerances of our modern day geeks.

And while THANKFULLY, the opening uses glass panels instead of reflecting mirrors. The dome shape configuration performs admirably focusing disparate rays of sunlight into ONE FOCUSED POORLY VENTILATED AREA.

THANK YOU GENIUS ARCHITECT OF THE TEMPERATE WESTERN NATIONS FOR CREATING THIS HELLISH INFERNO OF AN ENTRANCE.

We've established:

• Singapore is hot
• We get A LOT OF SUN
• It's hard to stay cool in sunny Singapore
• Did I mention it stays like this ALL YEAR ROUND?

WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU DESIGN SOMETHING LIKE THIS YOU MORON?

Thank goodness the connecting tunnel to Wisma Atria has re-opened. Else I would have to find out where you live and nuke your home with an Archimedean Death Sun weapon...

This just in: Japanese Scientist Invents Breast Enlargement Ringtone

Dubbed "ROCK MELON" ringtone, Dr. Hideto Tomabechi discovered that the subliminal sounds of babies crying amongst other sounds causes a woman's breast to expand and enlarge. Test sounds involved in the experiment increased the breast size of one subject by 3 cm.

• yep
• I love the japanese
• AND DISCOVERY CHANNEL
• for recognising the life altering effects of such a scientific breakthrough

• LOL

• Cure for cancer? Who gives a fuck. Mankind can now enlarge breasts with their handphones
• i wonder what happens to manboobs when guys in the vicinity hear the tone
• or is it something the woman has to listen to in private...

I will prevail. The Lord willing.

When life gives you lemons...

Make lemonade.

So goes the saying.

But what if those lemons were rotten?

I don't want to serve rotty lemonade really.

We can't change the cards we are dealt. Only how we play the hand.

Problem is God/Fate/Destiny/whatever doesn't play cards.

He plays the dice.

So what now?

This just in: An example of Singapore's Shining Civil Service

Heard from a friend of mine who was having some family woes:

He had spoken to Mr Foo S. T., an officer with HDB-
X- "Hi, I'd like to initiate a special appeal. The flat is fully paid for, I want to buy out my father's portion."
HDB- "Why?"
X- "He's an undischarged bankrupt, he needs the money for living expenses and to feed his new family. My mom lives in Australia, a citizen there. They're divorced."
HDB- "Ah.. read the regulations on our website www.hdb.gov.sg the regulations are there."
X- "I understand, I'm not yet 35.. but i don't have a family nucleus either."
HDB- "Then you have to read our regulations. They clearly state.."
X- "I understand, I'm asking for your advice."
HDB- "Only other way besides reading the regulations at www.hdb.gov.sg, is that your parents have to die. Then you can buy your own flat."
X- "BUT i already OWN IT."
HDB- "Sorry. They have to dead. Or you can read our regulations at www.hdb.gov.sg."
