Battle of the sexes still on-going

It seems that battle of the sexes are still on-going. When a certain actress commented on local men, people start to agree and disagree, as well as the genders start to take their sides. The usual, there is never any perfect person around, be it men or ladies. If you start to comment, do you think you are must better too? Ultimate it will be the money and appearances that matters to most people. And it seems the media that starts to fan the fire have been getting their fuel from those usual, slim, pretty type. How come they did not get their comments from those bigger sized and appearance wise that isn't impressive? These group would probably have different thinking. When it seems that you do not have much of a selection you will take what you get so to the people being used by the media, you are being used. http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sgseen/this_urban_jungle/1133968/what_sporean_women_say_about_local_men.html

Facebook posting problem

It seem strange I couldn't post to Facebook. At least I know it is a Facebook problem after I found a website inform that users feedback about the issue. Apparently they have the same problem too. Hopefully Facebook resolve the problem. I would rather to be locked out rather than to see posts but couldn't reply.

DC going towards extreme

DC comics after their relaunch seems to be going towards dark. It have been like more violent in the already violent Batman titles, more sex too in other titles as well Batman. So now they want to adjust a well established character into gay. It isn't new but to adjust an established character is just to get into the bad books of fans. If it is some established but seldom used character that doesn't been in relationships before, it might not be a big deal. Might as well make it as Superman. He had already gone through death, marriage and now he is single again for unexplained reasons. Might as well put Jimmy Olsen in there since Jimmy doesn't really have a girlfriend and he is Clark's best friend! Well, either way I haven't been reading the new DC. Perhaps I will try the Green Lantern titles once they put Sinestro back as villain. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=38810

Music scene passes

This week have been quite a sad week in the music scene. At least for the people who have gone through the early era of disco. Donna Summer and Robin Gibb or the Bee Gees passed away. It seems like not long ago, during February Whitney Huston passed. One thing in common, they passed away young. I am proud to say I went through my early years listening to music, with some of the songs from them. They are legends and their songs would be always preserved in CDs and mp3s.

MIO problem (again)

MIO crashes out on soccer fans. Disruptions to the live telecast of English Premier League on Sunday night seems like the sport version of the MRT breakdown. The usual excuses. Remember during the world cup there were problems as usual? MIO will need to improve and improve. There will always be some new problems and when it happenes you will get the wraths of your consumers. People were forced to use your services because you held the soccer matches contract. What is the use of having it when your infrastructure can't handle it?

Mother's day

Today is mother's day. Found this story which seems to be partly true to some of us. If it does happens do change for the better! If you treat your mom this way it is not too late to amend! A Tribute to Mothers When you came into the world, she held you in her arms. You thanked her by wailing like a banshee. When you were 1 year old, she fed you and bathed you. You thanked her by crying all night long. When you were 2 years old, she taught you to walk. You thanked her by running away when she called.

You thanked her by saying good-bye outside the dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your friends. When you were 20, she asked whether you were seeing anyone. You thanked her by saying, "It's none of your business." When you were 21, she suggested certain careers for your future. You thanked her by saying, "I don't want to be like you." When you were 22, she hugged you at your college graduation. You thanked her by asking whether she could pay for a trip to Europe. When you were 23, she gave you furniture for your first apartment. You thanked her by telling your friends it was ugly. When you were 24, she met your fiance and asked about your plans for the future. You thanked her by glaring and growling, "Muuhh-ther, please!" When you were 25, she helped to pay for your wedding, and she cried and told you how deeply she loved you. You thanked her by moving halfway across the country. When you were 30, she called with some advice on the baby. You thanked her by telling her, "Things are different now." When you were 40, she called to remind you of a relative's birthday. You thanked her by saying you were "really busy right now." When you were 50, she fell ill and needed you to take care of her. You thanked her by reading about the burden parents become to their children. And then, one day, she quietly died. And everything you never did came crashing down like thunder.

Movie time on Avengers

Managed to catch a show for the Avengers. Not a bad show. There are some hilarous moments with the Hulk. Was surprised that the theater was not full. Ok the ticket was a sponsor by my uncle's company but you mean there is not much people in the company interested in the Avengers? I am glad I got the chance to watch it in theater. Since it is a Marvel production, they have the usual end of the show scene where it reveals that the next villain or villains will be the Kree. These guys in the comics will tangle with Silver Surfer and Fantasic Four. So does Marvel think that Avengers will always be best to talk on alien invasions?

comics not just for juniors

Comics today, as well as some cartoons are certainly not for children. Most of these materials are written by adults for adults. The plots and the texts are sometime quite hard to understand and certainly not for children. So how would one knows which are for children? You will have to look at the art. If the art is drawn very childish, simple story, everyone are friendly and it is a happy ending with everyone smiling that should be the one. Somehow the publisher wanted to earn their dollars from both adults and juniors that you get to see kiddish version of Spiderman and Teen Titans. Then again, how many children would go for these when they have pokemon and Spongebob? As for Spongebob, it certainly is for juniors but it captures adults too. How many such shows could be fun enough for all ages?

track your dreams?

Does anyone tracks their own dreams? I do tried but usually I would have forgotton them when I wake up. Some of the more memorable ones I will jolt down. Some dreams can be a mess yet it seems to reflect your everyday view like you are living it. Nothing spectecular but it feels like you are living it. Some of them you can perform extrodinary feats like high jumps over distants. While it may be dreams but it sure feel good.

iPhone can switched identities!

It seems that the iPhone had scored another first of its kind of disaster, swoop of contacts between users. How could such thing happen? The story indicate the user did an upgrade of the iOS which could mean something happened along the way. It must mean that some apple server been storage our contacts. Then there were more stories on the chinese papers. Users claimed it even happened over night! If that is the case it should mean that some apps running on the iPhone been sending and receiving contacts infomation. So far Apple remain silent on these. http://sph.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_794070.html http://news.omy.sg/News/Local%2BNews/Story/OMYStory201204301535-331283.html

Istana visit

Today by chance came upon the opening of the Istana. I decide to go for it since I have never been there before. I would be turned off if I know of the remove all things from pocket and go though scanning like those custom. Lucky for me I don't usually carry many things. I was also holding on a plastic bag which I bought from a bookshop. I dumped the coins into the bag. Went through fine, other than pissed by a blocker in front of me for not moving. The Istana walk was easy. It reminds me of Botanic Garden. I walked all the way to the house there, found that visitors need to buy ticket. I took a few pics with my phone and walk the way back. The walking distance would take about 10 minutes.
