ticker

I was on the Bloomberg machine and I chance upon a Bloomberg ticker - FML.

dinner @ home

It's been a while since I ate dinner at home.. Happy belated Mother's Day.

Coca Cola Friendship machine

this advertisement has a bit of "volkswagen fun theory" in it.

cheers to coke.

quote

I was listening to TED Eli Pariser: Beware online "filter bubbles". This remark kind of shows the level of civic mindedness of most people in society.

[Quote] Mark Zuckerberg, a journalist was asking him a question about the news feed. And the journalist was asking him, “Why is this so important?” And Zuckerberg said, “A squirrel dying in your front yard may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa.” And I want to talk about what a Web based on that idea of relevance might look like.

i kind of agree.

distance

"I guess there is no way for me to cover the distance. I try harder than most people; but at some point I will just give up."

election archive

Even though I do not get to vote, this election has generated quite a lot of heat for itself. There are so many epic moments and charming characters. It is just me or are opposition party candidates just more quotable? It would be a pity if I were to look back at this blog and not remember the 'interesting' moments. Tin Pei Ling vs Nicole Seah. Worker's Party 'A' Team (Low Thia Khiang, Chen Shao Mao, Sylvia Lim) vs George Yeo in Aljunied GRC. Chiam See Tong's SDP vs Wong Kan Seng's PAP at Bishan-Toa Payoh, Tin Pei Ling vs Chen Shao Mao. Tin Pei Ling and her Kate Spade. Independents missing the closing time resulting in a walkover in Tanjong Pagar GRC. Vivian's smear campaign against having a gay MP. Quotable quotes from Low Thia Kiang: "Bear in mind that just putting on a safety belt and hope that the driver will drive you to your destination is not enough. A co-driver is essential, especially as road gets tougher to navigate. The co-driver is there to slap the driver when he drives off course or when he falls asleep or drives dangerously."

I want to post the posters as keepsake. 

this last poster reminded me of an engineering joke (see below)...

"it's ok if you do not understand. you are just not scientific enough."-cj
