Youporn is the most visited porno-video site in Singapore
Apr 25, 2008 Around the Word, Gossips
This is from Alexa’s Top Sites Singapore, the top 100 sites visited based on traffics from Singapore. It may not be 100% accurate, but I think that, it is not far from it.
Youporn is the 1st porn site in the list at 25th. Other than that, we can also see porno/sex-related sites like RapidShare (to download porn), AdultFriendFinder, YourFileHost, RedTube, SammyBoyForum, MediaFire (similar to RapidShare), Flurl, Badjojo, Megaupload, TheTend, MetaCafe. 10%! Are Singaporeans horny or what?
I was surprised to see Yahoo ahead of Google, but it is acceptable since the list has separated Google and Google Singapore into 2 sites, 1 at 2nd and 1 at 7th place. Yahoo managed the ranking maybe due to Yahoo Mail? I know there are lots of people who are still with Yahoo Mail.
I thought Facebook is hot nowadays, and Friendster is dead. However, Friendster is still ahead of Facebook here.
I do think that JobsDB should be ahead of Jobstreet. Based on my personal experience, JobsDB is much better than Jobstreet…… By the way, no ST710 and Mocca in the list?

Is this German boy, Nico Marquardt, smart? I think, besides being smart, gifted, he must be very interested in astronomy.

How to know if you are a freaking popular celebrity?
Apr 7, 2008 Around the Word, Gossips
How to? When the 23 sesames you left over in a fastfood restaurant were auctioned for 40 thousands NT, Taiwan dollars, which is roughly 2000 SGD.
Recently, a Yahoo Taiwan user posted an auction in Yahoo Auction Taiwan, claiming that he/she saw Jolin Tsai eating in a particular fastfood chain, in Taiwan. After she finished and left, he/she went over to the seat and collected the sesames left over.
Description (I am not going to translate here, let me know if you need translation):
3月14日看到當紅的Jolin在肯德基吃早餐，
居然只有她一個…..
我剛好坐在她斜後方，本人蠻美的 沒打扮還算有型~
手中的燻雞燒餅看起來也很好吃，
害我也想點來吃吃看…
但是她吃相不是很優雅，邊吃邊掉，豪邁了些
不過哪個人吃燒餅不掉芝麻呢？
Jolin殘留的白芝麻，全數販售
一元起標，任何問題歡迎發問………….
The URL for the auction is http://0rz.tw/ba3SW. However, you will need a Yahoo account to log in.
Jolin’s agency has rejected the statement, claiming that she is the spokeperson for the other fastfood chain, so it is impossible for her to walk into the one that was in the description (rival).
So, how? Is Jolin Tsai freaking popular and famous now?

What Hong Kong’s Father of Democracy said about Singapore’s democracy
Actually this news report is about the retirement of this pioneer and spearhead of Hong Kong’s democracy, Mr Martin Lee. But, what he said about Singapore interested me more.
Quoted from Zaobao.com:
记者会上，他多次重申，不想香港民主路走向“新加坡化”。
Translate:
He emphasized many time in the news conference that he doesn’t want to see Hong Kong’s democracy goes the “Singapore Way”.
Quoted from Zaobao.com:
对于香港的民主路，李柱铭在记者会上强调，民主选举不能怕输，“新加坡的选举，人民行动党就不会输；共产党的选举也是。选举要有输有嬴，无所谓，李柱铭是输得起的。”
他又称，“新加坡表面上有民主选举，而每次选举，执政党都不会全胜所有议席，输两席，送出两个席位给反对派，因此就可以告诉美国了。他们竟然可以控制得这么好。”
他说，北京这么喜欢新加坡，就是因为未投票已知结果，“新加坡无自由，无新闻自由，无独立思考，现在香港的爱国教育就是‘洗脑式’，很危险，令年青人失去独立思考，就如新加坡一样，怎能去发明一些东西呢！”
李柱铭狠批新加坡的民主，他说：“新加坡在软件上动了手脚，例如若选民不选执政党，巴士就不开入该区。”
Translate:
In regards to Hong Kong’s democracy, he emphasized that, ones must be able to take the defeat in democratic elections. “In Singapore’s general election, PAP will never lose; it’s the same in communist’s election. There must be win and loss in elections. Nevermind, Martin Lee can take defeat.
He said again: “Singapore looks like there is democratic election, and in every general election, the rulling party will not win all the seats. There will be 2 losses to oppositions. Then they can tell the Americans (about them being democratic). (It is amazing that) They can control the situation so well.”
He said that, the reason Beijing (China) likes Singapore so much is because that they know the result of the elections even before they vote. “In Singapore, there is no freedom, no freedom in press, no independent thinking. The current “patriotism” education is just like brainwashing. It is very dangerous. It results in the youths losing the ability to think independently, just like Singapore(ans). How are they going to create, invent new things?”
He criticized that: “In Singapore, some “softwares” was altered, if the voters in an area did not vote for the ruling party, there would be no public transport service to that area.”
Quoted from Zaobao.com:
他说：“不公平的东西就要讲，否则，香港在走新加坡的路。”
Translate:
He said: “One must speak up if something is unfair. If not, Hong Kong is going the Singapore way.”
I did some search on the relevant news report in English, like:
Channel News Asia: Hong Kong’s Martin Lee to step down from territory’s legislature
AFP: Leading Hong Kong democrat to step down from legislature
Yahoo Singapore: Veteran Hong Kong democracy advocate Martin Lee to quit politics
International Herald Tribute: Veteran Hong Kong democracy advocate Martin Lee to quit politics
AlJazeera: HK democracy veteran to retire
It is interesting that none has mentioned the parts that I quoted.
So, what do you think? Do you agree?

One Month Anniversary - Mas Selamat bin Kastari’s Toilet Break
Mar 27, 2008 Gossips, Life, Singapore, Stupid Stuffs
It has been 1 month since Mas Selamat bin Kastari escaped from Whitley Detention Centre while taking his Toilet Break. And he is still taking his Toilet Break. The government said there is no evidence showing that he has left Singapore for neighbouring countries. But I am more interested to know if there is any evidence showing that he is still in Singapore. So many army boys, polices officers, Home Team members carried out so many search around this little, couldn’t find any evidence? There were people claiming that they saw Mas Selamat at Pasir Ris McDonald buying food, but there was no official info from the relevant party. All the trucks, lorries drivers must be cursing and swearing at him now because due to his Toilet Break, the custom check has been very strict and lengthy. This has caused terrible traffic jams around Woodlands Checkpoint area, and the drivers have to wait for almost 20 hours just to clear custom check to cross the Causeway.
I did some search and found some funny, interesting articles regarding this incident.
Mr Brown never fails to bring laughters to us. Pointless Mas Selamat Letter/News of the Day
I like this article, and i kind of think that it is actually suan-ing the government (the part where the author said that oppositions are to blame). National Manhunt : Where is Mas Selamat?
This Uncyclopedia entry is funny. Mas Selamat bin Kastari
And I am actually amazed that someone asked “Where is Mas Selamat?” on Yahoo Answer.
Also, there are lots of Mas Selamat-related video clips on Youtube.
OK, have fun.
