I Don't Even Like Cute

But I really like Elmoscar!

Pretty Colours~

Pity the product looks pale in comparison though? I don't even know exactly what it is?

Enjoyable

The company. Not so much the candy.

:p

The Greatest Rapper You Never Heard Of

Will never be heard again. Michael Larsen better known as Eyedea left us 17th October 2010 and I don't know where to begin.

The world has lost a rapper that is in so many ways simply unparalleled. A genius ahead of his time, his raps appear many times difficult to listen to because they are some of the deepest, most profound hiphop ever recorded. If you actually read his lyrics as you follow his songs however, you find that they move you, inspire you and open your eyes.

Right now though, amidst all the sorrow, they just make me Smile. (Choice lyrics below to help you follow the song)

The sadly married set up alibis. No harm, no regret,

hoping they meet an angel in bed that can wrestle the devil right out of their heads

This city runs fast, no one has time to sit with themselves,

no time to look into our pain or see the same despair in everyone else

its here, its there, its everywhere tears soak each card the dealers dealt

But time taught me how to see every second as heaven even though they're perfectly disguised as hell

Despite the wars founded by the rich, funded by the poor

kids barely 18 are dying so billionaires can make more

elsewhere hungry mothers watch their babies starve to death in a beat up shack on a dirt floor

I can only build if I tear the walls down

even if it breaks me I wont let it make me frown

I'm falling but no matter how hard I hit the ground

I'll still smile

:-)

Old Starbucks Trick

Warning: Does not pick up girls.

Rock Your Ride

The French are definitely over doing it but I really wouldn't mind getting to school late just to see two rival Kung Fu schools fight over me.

(If you're still clueless as to what's going on, I believe the train company gathers information on a few lucky commuters and plans an elaborate surprise as they travel)

Picked Up a Free Coconut Tree

On the the road while walking to ZT's house. Awesome!

Covertly planted it in his neighbour's backyard. I wish it all the best in growing up to be a healthy strong Coconut tree!

Reed Space Online Store

I've always been a fan of Staple Design (the guys behind the infamous Pigeon Dunk) and their retail front Reed Space so it is nice to know they finally have an online store.

Like the brick and mortar establishment, the store boasts an excellent choice of products including this sneaker esque Desert Boot by SeaVees.

Mass Order/Spree anyone? >.<

Still Relevant

16 years ago this song became an anti-war sentiment that resonated through the world against in particular the conflict in Ireland. Today although Ireland now has peace, the world is still a troubled one. I hate to say it but 16 years later, this song is still relevant.

I hope I don't have to say the same thing 16 years from now.

Don't Let Anyone Else Decide

How awesome you are. Red pens are $1.30 at the book store, smiley faces are free.

Ice Cream Can Be Funny

For the older people, Island Creamery has Chendol ice cream and a wall where you can paste pictures of you and your friends. The kids however, get a wicked cookies and cream, stationery to draw on, and a wall to showcase their work.

Kobe Bryant: Let Me Do Me

To play in Jordan's wake is a tough thing to do and I think we've given him enough discredit. He has definitely matured into the greatest player in the game today and I think it's about time we let him do him.

Ahead of His Time

Winston is a 5 year old kid I met at Downtown East. He won a free card by spelling the whole digimon website address after just looking at it twice. He also told me that 3*9=27 before kicking my butt at the game.

So Much Work, So Much Beautiful

Droppin more patterns than I ever thought was even possible, from France.

I Tried to Get Her to Buy Me Dinner

But all I got was Taiwanese meatball noodles and Milk Tea. Well they were both awesome and I'm not exactly complaining.

To Be Responsible For Your Own Dreams

You just can't deny. Goosebumps @ 3:45.

It is difficult to translate but I think when he said "要为自己的梦想负责", he meant to say the same way parents have a responsibility to their children to raise them well into adults of value, we have a responsibility to your dreams to turn them into reality.

You owe it to your dreams. Don't let them down now.

Heartbreak Music

Everyone is breaking up around me. My social network feeds are full of songs like these. But hey, they say the whole music industry is really powered by sad love songs and I guess musicians need to pay rent too so...

No Bells No Whistles

No fancy costumes, no crazy stage lighting

Just a performer, his ideas, and a whole lot of skill.

Speechless

I've heard that if you touch a certain part of a shark's nose they enter a trance like state. But to make a shark float vertically is just...

Ballin in the City

Saw this across the road on the way home. Free to play basketball court @ Velocity, Novena. Rim is dented though but the kids still ball the crap out of it. More motivation to get my knee better so I can play!

Elegant Tributes Do Her No Justice

When asked by foreigners, I always introduced Lee Kuan Yew as the godfather of Singapore. With the passing of his wife Mdm Kwa Geok Choo yesterday, I feel Singapore mourns the loss of our godmother. The woman who stood behind and unwaveringly supported in so many ways, the most important man in our nation's history.

I don't know her personally and I think few do. But if anyone needs any indication of her brilliance, just look upon this miracle of a city, breathe its air and feel its pulse. I think she gave us that.

Thank you Mrs Lee, and goodbye.

Final Four @ Tampines Mall

Digimon Data Carddass Finalists from left: Randell, Boon "Giant Killer" Hsuan, Leroy, Jia Jun.

Some very exciting matches all around. Great performances by 7 year old Boon Hsuan for coming in second, and of course Leroy, who at one point was down to one Starmon (Champion Level) but pulled off a massive comeback against two Creepymons (Mega Level) and then went on to win the competition.

Edit: I previously published that Boon Hsuan pulled off the massive comeback. That has been rectified.
