DHD (Rescued)

Derrick the Dunman High doll after a foiled kidnap attempt (think drawstring gani sack)

Indoor Climbing?

Get your harnesses and carabinas ready, kids! The reinstated Inter-school Indoor Climbing Challenge is about to kick off! But be careful, for these clay tiles are very brittle and only loosely affixed to the wall. Your safety and wellbeing, as you probably gather, are not our responsibility or primary concern!

Corporate Battles

难 道...this is the 传 说 中 的 long-lost 的 Corporate Battles - The Game of Office Politics? Legend has it that the possessor of this board game can embody unlimited power that enables him/her to ascend the highest of corporate ladders - be it at the expense of lesser players. Now up for auction at www.backstabbing.com!

BACK TO THE FUTURE

5Trailblazers: Dr. Brown (Christopher Lloyd) must figure a way to bring his protégé Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) back to 1985 from 1955.

Before science fiction involved complicated matrices and minority reports, good old time travel was the order of the day. Writer-director Robert Zemeckis' breakthrough feature, a collaborative effort with star producer Steven Spielberg, set the pace for future projects and spun an entire trilogy of films.
While all BACK TO THE FUTURE movies were ahead of their time and state-of-the-art in the special effects department, my personal favorite is the second installment, where multiple time arcs really made things interesting!

No Tomato, No Pizza

Wait just a minute, cuoco. What about them anchovies?

Mango Milk Ice

Following our screening (a lame-ass frame-by-frame Hollywood reshoot of Thailand's SHUTTER), a flu-afflicted Christine and I had (early) dindin at KFC (Kopitiam Food Court). Afterward, she tucked into a bubble-filled(!) bowl of MMI (Mango Milk Ice), which reportedly tasted saccharine. (Randomness attacks: See, that's why I keep a hamster.)

Martin Yan

He's Jamie Oliver to/for the older (Asian?) generation. Whilst Martin Yan may not be as sought-after as The Naked Chef, the Chinese-born culinarian has certainly paid his dues for three decades and proven that Yan Can (indeed) Cook. Homemakers should pick up some 'hash-slinging' skills from this sifu - or, at least, the lightning-speed dicing technique!

The Eagle Has Landed

...and it's now searching for its prey. If you're short and limpy and have recently absconded from a 'security-lapsed' detention center, then you're pretty much safe - because eagles don't eat douchebags. Sucker!

Sad Sack

"KNNBCCB. Here I am working my sorry 60-year-old butt off like a bloody coolie from Clarke Quay and those good-for-nothing half-breeds of mine are happily trifling on TVXQ concert tickets."

Rasslers in Uniforms

Before the WWE (then the WWF) entered its awesome Attitude era, wrestling was all gimmicky and outlandish. Case in point: Prison guard Big Boss Man (top left) and taxman Irwin R. Schyster (top right, AKA I.R.S.), who both donned uniforms to the ring. How these goons grappled with their tight shirts on never fails to perplex me. What about the sweat factor? Ugh.

MasterCard

"Yes, we do, in fact, accept all major credit cards here at Mumbai Mega Mart and MasterCard is, of course, most welcome. But, sir, are you absolutely positively sure you want to use it to pay for this 20¢ packet of seedless sng muay?"

Amelia's New Hair

Snipped "out of fun and laughter, peace and joy". (That's about as good a reason as any, right?) Say, should I drop by My Gym @ Marine Parade to return her double set of Learning Environment notes still stashed in my drawer?

Little Giza

Why spend hundreds of EGPs journeying to Middle Eastern Egypt - no offense, President Hosni Mubarak - when we have our own Little Giza here in Singapore (the same as for Little Guilin in Bukit Gombak)? It's even educational as one can learn about base, height and hypotenuse of a right triangle. Geography meets Mathematics?

Beanz

may i borrow your p-38 can opener?

S-League

Geez, I've never been more out of touch with this. Albirex Niigata? Dalian Shide Siwu? Are these clubs or cenobites? Whatever happened to Geylang United and Woodlands Wellington?

Singaporean Graffiti 2

Those teen vandals have obvious-ly been taking graffiti tutorials in the reform-atory. Their vorks are now approaching the ranks of Michael P. Fay, no?

Teleportation SUCKS!

"Will you still love me when I look like this?"

SPH News Centre

Instantly out of the press-to-release revolving door(!), 'Dog Bone' Jim and I looked back in awe (with white foam forming around our mouths) at the imposing infrastructure that is the Ass Pee Edge Noose Centre. (Pardon the poor illumination, hor.)

Mare-lay Food

Following in the dainty footsteps of minah wannabe Denise Yan (AKA Food Waster AKA Ditzy Pincher), I, too, reverted to some spicy Halal fare two days ago. The 4-'meat'-0-veggie selection you see here4 set me back by a fortuitous $5.50, and I haven't yet tallied the $0.80 for teh tarik. So much for a 'simple' meal, huh?

THE FLASH

>> Has anyone seen this short-lived superhero TV series starring John Wesley Shipp? Hmm...was anyone in their teens (or even born yet) when this show aired on the toob from 1990-1991? I was an AJCian then and had the Flash emblem geekily flaunted on my ring file. Yeah! >>

Temploo

What if - and I'm just sayin' what if - you pang jio halfway in a portable plastic toilet and a twister blows it away? Or, some prankster tips it over? How? Continue to pang?

The Woods

spare me some magic rocks, ivy walker?

Miley Cyrus

With Britney Spears' fleeting fall from grace and Hilary Duff's gradual descent into obscurity, the stage is set for Miley Cyrus, the overnight sensation from Disney Channel's HANNAH MONTANA.
Ranked by Forbes as one of 2007's top money earners under 25, the American actress-singer-songwriter saw her debut feature, the self-titled concert film (released in 3-D), rock the box office on its opening weekend with a resounding US$31 million in revenue.
Last month, she was also an invited guest and presenter at the 80th Academy Awards - and wowed the audience with her poise and eloquence.
All this and she's only 15.

Blind (as a) Bat

Without my 'all-seeing' glasses (or should we call it spectacles?), I'll be as blind as (any) one of the Stygian Witches. As if myopia ain't bad enough, I also have astigmatism. Argh! LASIK!

Sweets for the Sweet

For the well-behaved children (you know who you are), here are some juicy pear and pome-grante candies for you. For the naughty ones (you also know who you are), there will be no sleep for you until you sift all the 49 flavors!

Pandora

If you stumble upon the Devil's Toolbox and open it, don't be surprised to find a puckish Pandora hiding inside and ready to pounce on you. After all, she's young and just wants to have fun. Loads of it. Long gone were the days when we both worked for Zenitant (under one Esther Koh) - she as a 'trail facilitator' and moi as I-forgot-what-position.

Sports Betting

Firstofall, I don't follow sports (not especially soccer). Secondofall, I don't gamble. So, you can BET I won't be caught dead - unlike some Lady Luck worshippers5 - at wannathese wagering booths.

Nosferatu

Max Schrek's version of the blood-sucking Count Orlok (AKA Nosferatu) is knots ghastlier in countenance than Bram Stoker's Count Dracula, but - unfortunately - the same cannot be said of the film itself. Watching the 1922 b&w silent picture by German expressionist F. W. Murnau with my former classmate Ching Poh at the NUS Central Library, we couldn't help sniggering through nearly all 94 minutes of its running time :-D

Cz'Zar

Interim Upgrading

For incumbent residents of older estates like Beo Crescent, timeous and practical inducements in the forms of flat repainting and walkway sheltering have proven to be efficacious when it comes to elections. Bread and butter issues still hold precedence over high-minded 'reform policies' in many places, my dear homies.

Stationery Boo-boos

How many of us are guilty of such stationery slipups as 'punch holder' (hole/paper puncher, as pictured), 'costape' (Scotch/adhesive tape) or 'bullet' (staple)? On a similar note, ever heard of 'occifer' or 'cerfiticate'? How discomfiting!

Howard 'The Fink' Finkel (PG)

"This following contest is scheduled for one

Geylang, Singapore, Shemale and Tranny!"

REM Sleep?

Is Ah Kan experiencing the phasic stage of rapid eye movement sleep now? Low voltage EEG check. He must be dreaming of plummeting 22 storeys - thence that hold-on-for-dear-life positure - from a highrise building. Poor pussy. Oops :-X

Good Friday

the Crucifixion of Christ at Calvary, 26–36 AD/CE

We Are China

"But...in Liaoning, this is really how we walk?"

BEVERLY HILLS 90210

God, this was the classic gold of teen soap opera back in the, what, early '90s? The Aaron Spelling produced series was the acme of prime-time television programming then and stretched on for a durable 10 seasons! Who could forget or ignore the trials and tribulations of Brandon and Brenda. And the swoonworthy Dylan.

Caterpillar Bridge

The voracious iron larva locomotes across the vast verdure, leaving behind bounteous scraps of metal poo. They say if ya can't beat 'em, ride 'em. So, in the spirit of Philip Pullman for the space age, hop on!

Kee Know Koo Knee Yah!

Of its expansive 43,000 square feet in floor area, this is the one cranny of Ngee Ann City's Books Kinokuniya that I won't mind spending hours in on a migraine-free weekend afternoon. Such a haven for hardcore, hardcover film and theater art lovers, is it not?

Director Showcase 3: M. Night Shyamalan

In my modest opinion, writer-director (and huge Steven Spielberg admirer) M. Night Shyamalan has made some of the past decade's most stupefying suspense movies (THE SIXTH SENSE and THE VILLAGE come to mind). Panners have labeled him a 'one-trick pony' for his continuous use of the 'twist' element in his screenplays, but as Jean-Luc Godard once said, "the best way to criticize a film is to make another film". Because talk is cheap.
And what's there to complain about twists in the first place? It's the best damn thing in (his) movies, duh! Does one actually complain about dessert after a hearty meal?

Hold Your Horses

Don't hurry galloping into the sunset just yet, Pennyworth, Jr. Mr. Brisco still has some unfinished chores for you at the Gunsmoke Bar. He wants you to haul the dead body of Oswald the Outlaw back to the Horseshoe Ranch. Obey or else.
