Makes the bus company sound witty and gives it a human face right? That’s why all Singaporean organisations need to work their PR like that. 

A humorous piece, but on a serious note, that’s why we need another taxi-fare model in Singapore; the current one, with its call-booking surcharges and the like, leave passengers at the mercy of taxi drivers all too often.

This is really awesome!

“I’m aware of the irony in wearing a suit of armor that I purchased with the funds from my ex-girlfriend’s engagement ring. There are plenty of psychological diagnoses my friends have pointed out… . They are all wrong, although I’m sure a relationship counselor would agree with them (and also charge me the value of a second suit of Master Chief armor for the privilege)”.

“Every man will experience a scenario like those outlined above at least once in his life. It’s called being out of your depth, and it means that you find yourself in a situation where your skill or knowledge isn’t on [a] par with what’s needed and/or with the rest of the people in the group… . Regardless of how you got into the jam, you’re going to want to make the most of it and minimize the damage”.

“Does success as an artist bring you more sexual conquests? Well, yes and no, say researchers”.

This is humour, just in case anyone is inclined to believe otherwise.

“Each moment, I try to orchestrate my own self destruction, but I cannot engineer the proper variables and so I am unable to actualize my own desires. I wait – impotent, cold, and quivering – for a steadier hand to destroy me.”

If you’re interested, you can read a compendium of posts which the same author has written on “The Importance of Reading”.
 

– c.f. “How are you looking at information today?”
 

– Hence, the awesomeness of listography.com. In any case, read the article with some degree of scepticism.

What the title says.

Think of all the time we could’ve saved if we had known this before!

Your excuse for an education is even more incomplete if you have not read this article.

“You think I’m stupid. You think I’m immature. You think I’m a malformed, pathetic excuse for a font. Well think again, nerdhole, because I’m Comic Sans, and I’m the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes fucking Gutenberg”.

A short story by Joses Ho.

“He who has never learned the art of drudgery is never likely to acquire the faculty of great and memorable work, since the greater a man is, the greater is his power of drudgery”.

Read the post once on its own accord once; there’s some truth in it. Then read the post once more – but on that reading, assume it has been written as satire.

“But I’ve learned my lesson. I shall never believe anything celebrities say again.

The next time I see Gurmit Singh hosting a show on TV and says, ‘We have a great show for you tonight,’ I will retort, ‘No, you don’t.’”

The entire column is a riot but this joke is extra funny because this S M Ong fella is the same Smong of Live on Five fame (a variety show that Gurmit Singh used to host in the ’90s).

“…small shifts in thinking that can have large effects… [e.g.] Dutch drivers are taught that when you are about to get out of the car, you reach for the door handle with your right hand — bringing your arm across your body to the door. This forces a driver to swivel shoulders and head, so that before opening the door you can see if there is a bike coming from behind… . The coexistence of different modes of travel is hard-wired into the culture”.

Well, it makes sense. In a way.

“My parents spent hundreds [of] thousands of dollars sending me to an overseas university, and I end up writing a blog and running a gym”.

On the other hand, one could say that this was THE lesson – albeit, an expensive one – he needed to learn in order to find out what he wanted to do with his life.
