Parliment heroine

The parliment session usually doesn't much interest the normal people around but this time one incident prompted munch people to read about it. MP Lily Neo voiced out her questions by waving her papers. According to the article from ST, she was ignored by fellow MP/ministers. Ignored or probably had not noticed or rushing time, Dr Neo have to raise her voice and cut into the question answer session. It may raise some eyes on those who witness it but she raised some point in reflection on her residents. While she may get bad points from her political party, I would say her residents, or those poor people that got affected would be glad someone finally voiced it out. The ministers should answer those questions and not evade them with infos that was already known. Good job to Dr Neo.

Someone upload the article. You can read it here.

local heroes get the boots

The olympic was over. But there is another happening in singapore. The tabletennis team that got a silver return home as heroes. However, their manager and head coach got the boot. The president of the tabletennis club, whatever they name it, gave lame reason. Their contract was not renewed and will be expired. So with manager and coach that led the team to a silver, doesn't that makes them "legend"? The world knows that she was furious over the tabletennis guy that lost because there was no coach on site. The coach that assigned was delayed by another match. For that reason she start booting. If such a mistake deserve the boot, mdm president and all those high post people should start getting boots. Spectulation was that Ms president doesn't see eye to eye but we doesn't care as long they got the medal. So what is next? This will always be a local olympic chapter forever, if you led a team to medals, expect the boot if you don't please mdm president.

Medals in Olympics at last

At last Singapore got medals. The table tennis team managed to best Korean team to get the silver. While it was a good change, it prompted some questions. The players are not Singapore born. They came from else where. If you look at most sports in Singapore, most of their players are FT. So there won't be much straight answers from anywhere else. However be grateful that these talents are doing Singapore proud and at the same time earning their name forever in the Olympic records. Hopefully Singapore should show them support for what they have done should the day for them unable to compete.

Olympic fakes

The recent Olympic opening was quite good but soon some bad news started to pour in. It was revealed that what we saw on TV, the fireworks are fakes. Most of it on TV are computerised images. So what if we see less of it? Putting fakes on TV just don't seem right. While people are talking about it, next came the news that the little girl that sang was lip sync. It was said that because the girl whose voice was used because she wasn't cute. So what if she isn't cute? Does that make lip sync a better excuse? These girls are innocent yet the adults put them in such bad position. Imagine when they grew up some people uses these news at them? I doubt if the world watching would care if the singing girl is cute. It just isn't right.

Transformer 2007 movie

Shia LaBeouf's character is irritating. Megan Fox's character is kind of unnecessary. So is it because the lack of babes in the show? Overall the action is good. For once secret government projects are scrapped. Usually they remains in shows like these. Whatever happened to Starscream? Perhaps I missed it. The commandos seems like super soldiers. Rubbles raining all over except them. I am sure it isn't over for the All Spark. Prime mentioned Cybertron gone, I doubt so. I am ready for Galvatron. Who else is ruthless next in line after Megatron? Starscream just doesn't make it. He is only cunning.

DS9

I finally managed to finish the whole DVD series of Star Trek Deep Space Nine. It is a good show. But I would still prefer The Next Generation and Voyager. They have more action episodes while DS9 contain many episodes on characters interactions. Many of these bored me to sleep. It is true, I slept through most of these. Maybe I was tired but watching those space battle episodes are different. Anyway the show is ok. They have some funny characters such as Quark. He is the bartender that always seems to be the joker instead.

bio-degradable USB disk

If you haven't read about it, a Hong Kong base company Hoshino released the world first bio-degradable USB disk. It is suppose to be eco-friendly. The picture attached doesn't show much on it but I assume the connector is metal like all USB connectors. What would the differences between a normal USB and this bio-degradable type? The cost. If it is more costly, it certainly won't get anyone to buy it. For me, I would care if the price is higher cost than a normal USB disk. It takes years to bio-degrade but I doubt the lifespan will take that long. Once it stopped working I will dump it to trash. So all is taken care of. I don't need it to bio-degrade if I disposed of it properly.

Rick Astley performs

The recent Singfest feature some international artists performing. Most of them is kind of out of my time. The style of music have changed through the years that I don't quite listen to them much. However this year's Singfest include 80's icon Rick Astley. Most youngsters may not know who Rick is but he is one of 80's chart topper. Like most other 80s artists they kind of vanished but will come back for some performances. Regardless who is performing, the audiences should give them the respect. They may not be your favourite but they are the guys that perform for you. I am glad Rick Astley is still doing music. Hope to see Jason Donavan next.
