If I had this motorcycle helmet, I may consider giving up my precious car, man. So cool.

Forgot to post this earlier. I was having lunch at Raffles Place when I saw this.

Siao one, these people. Remind me of the JC mass dancing.

Mass dancing down at Raffles Place

ERP up again! Even when AYE is smooth! WHY?!!

Sian!

But in the comment, some person called cutthecrap wrote a quite good ERP poem, man.

The TV and Movies use to play
How the bandits use to say
“To use the road, you have to pay”
“If you want to live, you must obey”
“Else you never see the day”

Today the ERPs, is the way
To rob us of some daily wage
Nothing that will make them swayed
And none can stop them nap their prey
For it is legal to make you pay
Some of our wealthy are full of praise
Out goes Pleasants, that blocks their ways

All thanks to the ERPs
To the wealthy are just peas
Family of seven with own car keys
Seven cars driving on P.I.E
Less people drive will make them please
Shopping will be of such bliss

Buses and trains, the Pleasants must be
Getting to work and work like bees
“Don’t block my ways”, is what they see
“For us the wealthy, who own five C’s”
“Surely we deserved, more than thee”
“To use the road as our country see”

True but sad this is such
Our rights to country, based on “how much?”
“Market demands” is the remark
Cannot afford, you should be smug
Take buses or trains even if sucks
Till the day to come to stop the bugs
At Election table will be the start

Huimin told me the yawningbread guy got blog about “usage” and “use”. She check with her old English professor who said most dictionaries say both words are interchangeable. (Wah. Big word leh. I had to practice saying it 10 times lor.) Anyway, Huimin also got do her own research using FOUR different dictionaries (so smart right? My home don’t even have half a dictionary.) They all say can use “usage” what. It’s about how a word is used in a language mah. I think “use” sounds nicer though. More simple. I told Huimin and she said I’m also correct. So we’re both correct? See what I mean? Why English so confusing one.

Running for cover: Nelson Piquet Jnr heads for safety after crashing his Renault at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix

I wonder if this headline is correct:

“F1 RENAULT SAGA: Flavio Briatore handed life ban, but his ex-team escape with suspended punishment over ‘crashgate’”

Shouldn’t it be “his ex-team escapes”?

A sad day for us F1 fans, man. Kelong in Malaysia Cup is bad enough, now F1?

Renault Crash Scandal: Can F1 recover?

“David Croft was at the Singapore Grand Prix to witness Nelson Piquet’s crash and now he fears for the future of the sport. Our man provides the insider’s take on the latest scandal to rock F1…

I remember Nelson Piquet’s crash in Singapore last year. It became the subject of many a conversation for sometime afterwards as conspiracy theorists put forward their thoughts on why there was more to it than meets the eye.

On the whole, such thoughts were dismissed with the rather unkind notion that Piquet wasn’t talented enough to crash deliberately at the right moment and in the exact spot to necessitate a safety car.

But just because you’re paranoid, it doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you, as the saying goes, and it seems those standing on their grassy knolls may be having the last laugh.”
