Haha. Thought this was a pretty funny comic regarding the US Grand Prix.

Anyway, I havent been up to much lately, except giving tuition to a sec3 boy for E and A maths. The pay isn't very good ($150/month) but that's a start I guess.

He's quite bad in maths though, got F9 for both subjects and his papers had red zeros all over.

I don't think he is stupid la, but for some strange reason he just doesn't seem to be able to understand decimal places and significant numbers.

I asked him what 3462 to one significant number was, and he said it was 3.

Stupid dingbat

You know those little printed, folded over, ten-to-two-hundred page, written in Spanish, Japanese, Norwegian, Sweidish, Chinese and bad English booklets with letters, numbers, figures and drawings?

You know, the booklets that are sealed in the plastic bag, buried under a gazillion pound of styrofoam peanuts inside those massive, corrugated, reinforced, double-thick cardboard, glued, lashed and stapled, impossible-to-open containers that contain things like steros, tv sets and electronic appliances etc?

Well, do not throw them away.

My dad bought a Harmon/Kardon stereo set afew months ago and he happily threw away the manual together with the cardboard pieces. Now, neither of us can figure out how to keep the Analog option permanent without having to switch it from Coaxial 1/2 each time we switch it on.

Moral of the story?

The instruction booklet is there for a reason. To instruct.

Read AND follow.

Money is the root of all evil?

Contrary to the old cliche, money isn't the root of all evil.

In fact, money is the root of all purchases.

You even need it to bid for your university courses.

Backstreet's back!

Seriously, is there anything funnier than watching five overaged Backstreet Boys trying to be all puppy-lovey and out-of-love in their Incomplete video?

The overdramatic fist pumping, angst facial expressions and outstretched arms... It’s classic man.

So bad that it's actually enjoyable to watch...

Ambushed by the Channel U news team

If any of you guys see a vacuous-looking couple on TV talking nonsensically in broken, indecipherable chinese about how great the Suntec Midnight Sale was, that would be me and Lilin.

*cringes*

Oh boy, that was a Kodak moment if ever there was one.

Relax, we are on the same team now.

Not quite sure if he is the top class goalkeeper whom Man Utd is looking for, but I guess it epitomises the financial state of the Red Devils-- Dismal.

How sad. To be the "richest" team in the world, and yet unable to wrestle financially with the likes of Real Madrid and Chelsea.

And let's face it. The club badly needs a major overhaul. Manchester United aren't the invincible red crushing machine of a few years ago.

Thanks to years of ridiculous buys like Veron and Bellion, they look like a disjointed assembly of a few great talents and many mediocre players, huffing and puffing but getting nowhere.

How many bad buys have Sir Alex made in recent years? Countles. The likes of Kleberson, Djembab-Djemba, Liam Miller, Roy Carroll...They are all so bad that they re-define that very term. But the worst of the lot has to be David Bellion

When Bellion was signed, we were told he was the new Thierry Henry.

RIGHT.

Bellion should have been sold by now - or given away, anything so long as he fucks off - but for the broken leg he suffered in the final reserve game of the season. Unbelievably bad luck - for the club!

But it isn't just the bad buys, Roy Keane and Ryan Giggs are getting too old to compete at the highest levels. Like old prize fighters, they dragged themselves up for the big fights with Arsenal, but wither unexpectedly against the likes of Norwich, seemingly sapped of their energy.

Perhaps the more worrying thing is that it will take way more money than is available to correct these problems. A creative midfielder, holding midfielder, left winger and at least one top-class striker to buy, how can that be funded?

There are cheap and talented young players all over the world. Arsene Wenger has shown this by making some shrewd buys. The likes of Van Persie and Fabregas are out there. The annoying bit is that Sir Alex doesn't seem to be able to find them.

However, if there's any consolation, Man Utd does have some promising youngsters in the Reserves squad.(They won the Reserves League by the way.)

The likes of David Fox, Pique, Jonathan Spector are definitely players for the future.

And I think we might just have an Arjen Robben in the reserves as well.

His name? Giuseppe Rossi.

Watch this Video of him. Sublime skills and an eye for special goals. ( video 10mb, courtesy of MUSC France)

The breast enlarging ringtone.

I was listening to Morning Madness on Perfect 10 when the DJs started mentioning about Japan having this craze about magic ringtones.

Ringtones that:

Improve your memory.
Make you look more attractive to the opposite sex.
Cure baldness
Help you lose weight.
Make your breasts larger (!!)

I know that the Japanese are crazy over cell phones, but this really reaches new heights man.

So simply by listening to these ringtones each time, you become more endowed?

Apparently so. According to one 19 year old customer, "I listened to the tune for a week (...) incredibly, my 87-centimeter bust grew to 89 centimeters! It was awesome!"

I don't believe. But nonetheless, here's the ringtone.

~~Show~~ Tell me if it works?

Don't judge a CD by its cover?

As much as I love Coldplay, they sure have this long-standing tradition of coming out with the ugliest album covers known to man.

Apparently this weird design is a puzzle though.

Anyway, speaking of Coldplay, one of my life's many regrets was missing out on their gig when they stopped over in Singapore.

I still remember the date-- It was 29 July 2001.

Because incidentally, that was also the week when Manchester United stopped over and played an exhibition match at the National Stadium.

And you know men. How pathetically loyal they remain to the football club that they worship.

I chose Man Utd over Coldplay.

I was such a stupid dingbat.
