Priss on Apr 25th, 2008Huh? Freedom of Speech in Singapore?

I was talking to Sabrina on the phone, just catching up and bitching -as usual-, when we started to talk about my blog post on banning ShadowFox.
I didn’t realise this before, Sabrina noted that some people might have been provoked by me mentioning that Singapore has no free speech. Some, silly people, might even feel [...]

Priss on Apr 23rd, 2008Wong Can’t Sing, Mas Selamat can…

Although PM Lee has a point when he said we cannot afford to cultivate a culture whereby people are too afraid to make mistakes (for fear of their heads), this IS the perceived mentality of the bureaucratic system in Singapore. I would even go as far as to say that this mentality have been drilled [...]

Priss on Apr 14th, 2008Streetdirectory.com BACK ONLINE TODAY! FINALLY!

Streetdirectory recently lost their lawsuit with LTA and had to pull their website down. But it’s coming back up today!!
Could someone be so kind as to post the link to the news article that explains why they got sued?
I guess to keep it civil and simple.
LTA, please don’t disrupt Streetdirectory.com service again, it’s really very [...]

Priss on Mar 30th, 2008Single Mothers will destroy their kids! [Maia Lee Part 2]

I won’t disagree that on psychological, emotional, financial and probably physical level… Single parents will have certain negative effects on their children.
However, single mothers that love their children would not harm their children on any level more than a typical nucleus family (a father and a mother) with problems. “Jia jia you ben nan [...]

Priss on Mar 30th, 2008Quit bitching about Maia Lee. She got pregnant so what?

I was told Maia Lee got pregnant with Zidov’s child, and frankly I wasn’t surprised.
After clicking on Ping.sg and reading another blog post about this news and the comments it received, I was surprised.
Why is everyone condemning her so badly instead of congratulating her? Why are we so quick to cast our judgment on her [...]

Priss on Mar 27th, 2008NABO - No Action Blog Only (on plastic and canvas)

I have been writing a few blog posts about Plastic Bags and how they are evil. [link] [link2] [link3]
Unlike some people that only NABO (No Action Blog Only) , I’ve decided to actually do something about reducing the use and our dependency on plastic bags. I’ve bought a pretty pink Cold Storage canvas bag and [...]

Priss on Mar 16th, 2008Sex Tafficking blog headlines [SFW] Edison Chen, Tammy NYP etc.

I’ve been blogging for more than a year now, although I’m not your hardcore blogger that blogs about everything everyday… Nowadays blogging is all about the juice.
First, you need a juicy headline.
A lousy headline:
Why no one reads my blog?
A good headline:
Sex scandals littered in my blog but no one interested?
A lousy headline:
My workplace [...]

National Geographic
 Japan Times - Japan banning plastic bags
China banning plastic bags
Another resource
But concerns that the estimated 30 billion plastic shopping bags utilized every year are contributing to global climate change when incinerated have prompted the government to call for restraint.
“Our country consumes a huge amount of plastic shopping bags each year,” said the State Council, [...]

Priss on Mar 12th, 2008Please stop killing with plastic bags.

My last outburst on Singaporeans being selfish was a little, too much… I suppose.
I understand why many would have such strong resistance against the government’s attempt to make Singaporeans more aware of being environmentally friendly. I am not a zealous environmentalist and I am guilty of not bringing my own bag to the supermarkets. Although, [...]
