Smelly NS Man

Okay I know this is a bit late and everybody in cyberspace have talked to death about it but for those who really blur until don't know what is going on - seems a lady wrote to the forum to complain about smelly NS men on public buses. She relates that her daughters were traumatised by the smell and she is now calling for NS men to be banned on public transport and suggested that they should take taxi instead. Read the full article here.

First of all, to be fair to her, I do agree that some NS men do smells. So does some foreign workers. So does some local people. In fact, so does me (especially after run) - so how - ban everybody from taking public transport?

Other than this single point of agreement, I think she should be the one taking the taxi since she obviously is more atas than the rest of us common people. And I hope to goodness she does not develope BO. And very obviously, she got to ban her daughters from ever marrying local man since they all go to go army. As to what the rest of Singapore think of her.. just do a google and you can read them yourself

Another Nobody Video

I love the Nobody song. The first one a parody by Mr Brown was hilarious. So is this:

Kids nowadays are so talented.

Battle of the Baos

Not that type of bao.... but the real edible type.

Was at Red Star Restaurant at Chin Swee Road last week and of course we had to have their Big Bao. Those in the know will know that it is no ordinary big. By big, I mean big big as in humogous.

Here it is next to the pretty little lady. Machiam like an advertisement for some facial products. Noticed how it is almost as big as her face.

Then there is the Gozilla bao. No pretty lady in this photo though. Just a coffee cup and 2 regular size buns.

So which is bigger? Or more importantly, which is better? Curious to know?

Go and try it yourself lah.

Road Rage

Was on the way home this morning driving along Xilin Ave and saw this man hitting another man. Apparently the guy had hit his van from behind at the traffic light judging from the position of the car although I didn't see any visible damages. To his credit, the victim who was much bigger size did not hit back and merely warded off the blow from the aggressor who looks to be in his fifties or sixties. Being a kiasu Singaporean, I did not stop but merely sounded the car horn loudly. The guy behind me also did so or is it because he was angry I slowed down? Last I could see from the rearview mirror, the aggressor had crossed the road to the Expo side, presumably to get out of the rain?

Anyway, I was wondering. What is it about driving that turn normal man into red hot blooded monster? Somebody hogged the road; cut you off; sound the horn for no apparent reason and our blood pressure goes up, all sort of languages come out of the mouth and we start chasing after the car, glare at the other drivers and in extreme case get out and challenge the other driver. And I am ashamed to say I am like that too. I get very irritated especially when somebody horn or flash their light at me nevermind if I am in the wrong. I get all pissed up and start driving aggressively whilst spewing words that sometime I don't even know I know. From conversations with friends, I know it is normal. The study of road rage has been well documented but still what is it exactly about being behind the wheel that caused this?

Just a thought though - does lady drivers react the same way?
