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.

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 [...]

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, [...]

Priss on Mar 10th, 2008Stop using this word in the office!!

I’ve recently found that many people like to use the word “Revert” in their office place. I’m not sure if this is a phenomena  exclusive to Singapore offices but I find it mildly irritating that so many people are using this word in the wrong context and no one realizes it. This is even more [...]

Priss on Mar 9th, 2008Funny Youtube Videos vs. Singapore Television

Growing up watching Singapore television (and cable), I’ve found that I do not enjoy “Singaporean humor” they show on TV. One might argue “Gao Xiao Xing Dong” and “PCK Pte Ltd” were really funny, I guess I do watch these comedies once in a while because they were comedies with local flavour - you can’t [...]

Priss on Feb 6th, 2008Singlish is funny? Yes, but so what?

I’m caught between not offending people and the freedom of speech. Heh.
I don’t think my English is in anyway superior, although I was brought up very heavily influenced by foreign media (TV and movies) and majority of my friends speak only English.
I have to say that, yes, I enjoy speaking Singlish in Singapore and to [...]

Priss on Jan 26th, 2008I’ve had enough with ‘Financial Planning companies’

Seriously, how do these people sleep at night. Cheating dumb naive fresh graduates into becoming an insurance agent.
For all you future “Management trainee” wanna-be in Singapore, please check the company you’re signing up for carefully. They will mislead you and make promises to you and even lie through their teeth just to get you to [...]
