Thats-so-Raja !

I read about a guy who had 400+ friends in Facebook. One day he woke up as a curious little wanker and wondered if he is really that sociable. So he organized a party and sent invitations to all his contacts over Facebook. 50% confirmed and another 20% were tentative. He was delighted - that’s one hell of a response, actually. The real day came. Our man waited at the venue, which happened to be a popular joint, but no single soul turned up. An hour later, one woman came but she also left in the next 30 minutes. He had 400 friends and yet he ended up drinking alone that night. So the question to ponder is how close are our virtual worlds to the reality? . But my case was quite not as somber. Yesterday was my birthday. Facebook reminded of it to a whole lot of my gang. Some of them have never wished me in decades and some are new. How exciting! So here is my big thanks to all my dear friends for the wishes over calls, sms and facebook. You made me feel special. Special thanks to cutie p...

President BO met business leaders to discuss economy at the White House. Salute him for the due diligence. It is also amazing to see the kind of political connections some of the CEOs have. Try digging Eric Schmidt of Google, for one. IBM’s premier grabbed the opportunity to introduce his ‘ Smarter Planet ’ vision to the president, which was to strike it right when the iron is hot. Smarter Planet yeh? For the uninitiated, you know, the planet is very stupid today? Think of the following : Today, distributing power is like transporting a fluid on a perforated pot. 67% of energy is lost in transport. Our medical network… well, its not a network. You can be a HIV positive in one hospital and have a cleaner bill of health according to the records in the second hospital. We call this the ‘multiple versions of the truth’ problem. Our food supply chain is so effective that 48 billion dollar worth of food is wasted just in the US alone. Damn. Our transports… recently my friend spent 18 hours o...

Cartoon aso can can lor but rojak blog more shiok. Otherwise you aso chapalang ma. So I go write now. Ploplem? For the non-sillyporeans, thats Singlish (Singaporean English), not an alien code. And it translates into " while drawing cartoon is fine, a blog with variety is cool. If not I can’t hold you here for long too. So I will write instead. Any problem? " Any problem? Just that I get puked at by most English speaking foreigners. To some, its like you have committed incest. And they would even administer lethal injections on their children for using Singlish. I was one such arrogant prick too. But let me tell you why it is such air headedness to shun a national identity. You see, there are 3 reasons why Singlish is considered a disgrace – Its Accent, vocabulary and grammar (or the lack of it). Lets take the accent aspect. Once, my ex boss was standing behind me giving instructions. Suddenly, he went “ Tupyoo, Tupyoo, Tupyoo… ” I concluded that he put 3 bullets into my hea...

From Obama's transport in the pervious post, lets look into cost cutting in the corporates. Not for the eyes of CFOs.

Boy, drawing Obama really gives a bang! Please float your wits here folks, will try and cartoon them.

Do you know what the sound of the falling hair is? Will tell you shortly. I started growing my hair long when Jessica Alba approached me to be caste against her. Ok, ok, will stop here :). The real reason is, last year I suddenly woke up to discover that my hair loss has moved to exponential levels. Every time I comb, the sound of the falling hair deafened me like a thunder bolt. That is when I decided to grow it long. Its like engaging Bill Clinton as a body guard to your girl friend. Expensive and yet you will be f***ed. But my simple principle in life is “ everything must be tried once ”. So how am I going to try a Rafael Nadal, when all the hair is gone? Hence I went ahead, grew it long and re-bonded. Conservative folks were ashamed to walk with me to the pub. Bold guys kneeled on the grass I walked over. I had fun until the hair became messy, long, dry and curly again. Re-bonded hair only looks neat until your original hair grows back in 2 months. But the story is about the trimmi...
