Observations - 26th September 2010

"Being a woman is a terribly difficult task since it consists principally in dealing with men." - Joseph Conrad

My version: The worst bit about being a woman is dealing with other women

I was at Goodwood Park Hotel. Car A blocked the road for 3 minutes. Driver B took a picture of Car A and its driver. So driver A took a picture of Car B and its driver. They can go argue it out on STOMP.

On the SIA interview: "at her group interview, the candidate that spoke quite intelligently on the subjects they asked her to talk about didn't get called back. Don't know if it's something else though."

Interestingly, if you have pre- but not post-marital sex, your Singaporean marriage can be annuled (or at least I'm told that this has happened).

I am amused that PLMGS doesn't let its female teachers wear pants - while other schools ban skirts (to prevent the upskirt problem).

The Third Generation SAF: new technology, new systems - same fucked up attitude.


The fact that written and spoken German are identical confirms my theory about French; French is so long winded, people need to speak it as fast as possible and contract it as much as possible

If you send me an email with the subject "Goodbye", I'll think it's a suicide note.

It's not surprising that it's as easy to find a man who isn't horny as it is to find a woman who doesn't want to be pretty, as both phenomena have the same root cause.

Interesting counter-example for those who decry polyamory as unworkable: multiple children.

Facebook cons you by claiming particular friend have used Friend Finder to find their friends - and telling those particular friends the same thing about you.


I am amused that Wikipedia has a "Massacres in Turkey" category. Hope no one cites the Ottoman Empire as an example of Muslim tolerance.

American lives may be worth more than others, but the exchange rate for American sins is also heavily weighted in the other direction (for Koran burning, among other things).


RT @PeterGriffinn: Girls are magic. They can get wet without water, bleed without injury, and make boneless things hard.

RT @msvindicta Sis: "Your dress is too short." Me: "I don't care." Sis: "What if it flies up?" Me: "Then it does. I'm wearing nice underwear."

RT @julianpo "NDP poster beside an Inception poster. The former: Live Our Dreams, Fly Our Flag. The latter: Wake Up to Reality."

RT @jongolia The only As and Bs you see in JC are those on girls.

RT @vixlew [Malaysian condoms are] no good, will only get you knocked up. Proof? My sister who is 12 years younger than I.
