I think the Chinese have had this perception for many a year already.

All I can say about this… about bloody time!

Oops. apparently I should have kept this hush-hush.

I knew these bloody dolphins were animals.

I knew some of these tips but this is perhaps the most comprehensive list of tips to give you more energy throughout the day.
"11. Flirt.
It’s fun, it’s harmless (keep it innocent), and it’s effective. Nothing quite gets the heart pumping like a little flirting."

How many times have we seen a contender for Google's top search spot. I can't even remember the last one, it was so damned funny.

Most definitely yes.

US error more like.

It would be a cheap shot and I'm way above suggesting that this is probably why they shouldn't be allowed to read a map.

Oh, boo hoo. What a tit.

'The maturity of our religious leaders and the restraint and sense of responsibility of their followers have helped to make this a communally peaceful society. We must keep it that way by observing the rules of engagement.
'This applies also to the media. The media plays an important role reporting on the issues, the groups and the personalities involved. They need to do so dispassionately and impartially…'
Lest popular opinion says in the direction of, say, more secular organisations that have the people's "best interests" at heart.

Happens to us all but now there is one less photographer that actually had a worthwhile purpose in the world. Rest in peace, Van Es. Oh, and he was Dutch too… !

Who would have thought the Chinese would replace the Americans in pretty much all things?

I knew it. As most men (and women) know, the man-flu is far more deadly than anything known to man (or woman). H1N1 doesn't have anything on the man-flu as it destroys lives and breaks down even the most mightiest of male specimens.
On the Run
May 14th, 2009 by Eshin
Maybe its a cultural thing or not, but it is interesting to see the two different reactions two countries take to their criminals. In New Zealand, an escaped convict is fast becoming a Robin Hood type figure as he elludes police. Nabbing food from dinner tables and building a large online social network, William Stewart remains on the run from authorities who are derided for not being able to even “catch a cold”.
A far cry from Singapore where the security services lost their number one terrorist suspect last year, and had to rely on Malaysian security forces to apprehend their man. Of course, public opinion was never really in his favour but apparently trying to escape hasn’t endeared him to the local populace as they creatively suggest he pays the prices for the security forces own incompetency by restricting his privileges.
Of course, Stewart hasn’t threatened to bomb Changi Airport but then again, Stewart has already been found guilty while the other is still awaiting due process I believe.
