Happy Lunar New Year

Happy Lunar New Year to all my readers :)

Apologies for the lack of entries this month. Was down with flu for a week prior to New Year. Thankfully I recovered in time to whack the New Year goodies. Hehe.



Woman speaking Hainanese: "Every year I buy too much (goodies) and can't finish the lot. I'll offer them to my colleagues."

Killer Application

Just last week, I read with interest about the Defence Science & Technology Agency's (DSTA) 'TechX Challenge' in the papers. Essentially, participants have to come up with a robot that is able to 'search for a target, carry the required payload, and enter and exit a building. It must also be able to go from floor to floor via the stairs or the lift.' The team with the fastest robot will bag a cash prize worth $1 million.

Sounds an awful lot like a Terminator to me.











And today, I read about a call to Singaporeans to develop 'the next YouTube or Skype' by a Minister speaking at the World Economic Forum.

At the end of the day, looks like what is needed is a KILLER APPLICATION (gives a whole new meaning when you lump that robot challenge with this I.T. 'gem of an idea' challenge). Man...Ain't heard those words since the dot.com boom and playing Bullshit Bingo.

That Facial Expression

I enjoy observing people, especially the facial expressions of women. As to what my favourite facial expression is, I'll have to trouble 'Miss Kuah' to demonstrate:



To me, the facial expression above is THE facial expression for all seasons (I believe it is etched into a woman's subconsciousness). It expresses SURPRISE as shown above. It also expresses...

...BEWILDERMENT


...CONCENTRATION/DECISION MAKING


A variation of this facial expression (with eyes looking to the ground and raised eyebrows) can also express EMBARRASSMENT.

...SENSE OF URGENCY




That facial expression is just so unbelievably rich. Now if I had a say in advertising...

STAR WARS and me

Never thought my first press appearance would be Star Wars related. Glad I wasn't wearing a costume with a helmet. Oh yes, that's me as an Imperial Officer in the middle :D

Happy New Year

Managed to squeeze this in before the New Year. Have fun :)

Shit-Fighters

A.O. presents yet another boh-liao comic ;)

Time flies and new year is just around the corner. Odd...don't really feel the X'Mas mood this year. Hehe. This is probably my last entry for 2006. So here's me wishing my readers Merry X'Mas and Happy New Year :)

Click the image above to read the comic.

Superheroes Of Ancient China

I present:



This is my mini adaptation of the Wu-Xia (Martial Chivalry) novel by Louis Cha - RETURN OF THE CONDOR HEROES. Oh yes, there's Singlish of course.

For the uninitiated, it would be beneficial to read the synopsis for the novel at the RETURN OF THE CONDOR HEROES wiki site prior to reading my comic. As for the rest, click the graphic above to begin reading. Have fun ;)

Function

Some days back, the word 'Function' flashed across my mind and I remembered something from the 80's during secondary school. In essence, 'Function' was a social gathering between schoolboys and schoolgirls and if I remember correctly, it was strictly by invitation only. The function is usually held in a 'function room' of a condominium or if not, someone's house big enough to accomodate a crowd.

I've never been to one as I was one of the 'stoners' in class and I was never invited too. However, I knew of its existence from a mailer/invite being passed around the class or when one buaya (read hyperactive skirt-chaser) asked another buaya loudly:"Ay, wanna go function or not? Got Melanie they all going, you know?".

Melanie? Who the heck is that? They all? Who the blazes is "They all"?



Holy crap...How do these bozos even know so many girls in the first place? I came from an all-boys primary and secondary school and hardly interacted with females of my age save for those from bible studies class at my church on Sundays. Even then, it was nothing beyond "Hi" and "Bye". Not that I wasn't interested in women. At that time, I was more concerned about saving enough cash to buy all five Combaticons to complete BRUTICUS.

So what exactly goes on during a 'function'? I don't know for sure. But from flipping through photo albums (of the function) circulated around the class, I saw lots of breakdancing, buaya antics and of course, the gals. Some days I wonder if I missed out an important phase in life. Maybe. Probably explains why I'm still passive and indifferent about relationships. And not that I'll transform out of my otaku mode anytime soon.

Cheers! :)
