Taufik Batisah’s Boo Boo

Monday, September 28th, 2009

And so Singapore Idol season 1 winner Taufik Batisah sang the wrong word for the lyrics of our National Anthem during Formula One Grand Prix last night.

Instead of singing “marilah kita bersatu” which means “let us unite”, he sang “marilah kita berseru” which means “let us proclaim”.
Although he has apologized for his honest mistake, Taufik […]

Friday, September 18th, 2009

When i was young, i used to play hand games, some of which are still being played by kids nowadays.
Finger games such as
‘chopsticks’ (mathical game)
‘that-hit-the-other-person’s-finger-with-your-own-until-it-breaks-apart’. (you put your palms together with only the pinkie out)
And hand games such as
‘mi-mi-mi-re-mi-fa-so-mi, fa-fa-fa-so-fa-mi-re-do’, (the hit your friend game)
or the chinese

If you can dream

Who doesn’t know Disney?
The entertainment conglomerate renowned for its classic films and Disney Princess.

This isn’t a spiteful post. I promise.

Monday, September 14th, 2009

The hot topic recently has been Miss Singapore Universe Ris Low and her rather horrid display of English on SPH Razor TV. An article even appeared on The Sunday Times yesterday. Clearly I underestimated the importance of the issue when I first laid eyes on the video a few weeks ago.
I always knew Singaporeans spoke […]
