About death

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating...and you finish off as an orgasm.

George Carlin

This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

ANYHOW PASTE KENA FINE



Seen these around?







They were the brainchild(ren) of an artist that goes by the moniker SKL0. (Photos from her tumblr.) Just found out that she was behind this brilliance today. And there I was, thinking it was some pretty cool gahmen initiative. Anyway, today she suay suay tio liak (kena caught).

(Guess our gahmen really not so cool.)

Granted it's illegal - "The case is classified as Vandalism under Section 3 of the Vandalism Act, Chapter 341. A person who is convicted for the offence shall be punished with a fine not exceeding $2000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding to 3 years and shall be liable to caning."

Knowing our country, a law is a law is a law, we just follow law. and examples have to be made.

BUT STILL, She stirred something up in us Singaporeans. Injected a little humor in our otherwise blah lives. Gave us something to smile about. She's the reason why "MY GRANDFATHER ROAD" is trending on Twitter right now. People identify, people enjoy, people sarkpork.

At most tio fine and give warning lah...

Anyway. Good luck, SKL0. If you ever read this. Respect.

I don't think she has any regrets.



In fact, she could've seen it coming.

Download her stuff here - http://skl0.tumblr.com/download. There, you will also find the infamous LIMPEH sticker. Go on, stick them all over the Internet - mai ham, you won't kena jail or fine.

The Loft

Food was alright - ordered my normal coffee: flat white. Wasn't too full bodied. Shared a breakfast platter (about $14++) with my boss - it's good for 2. I liked that it came with a variety of stuff; what gets better than a bit of everything to start the day? 2 eggs (done however you want), 2 buttermilk pancakes (which were awesome), 2 halves of a grilled tomato, 2 slices of ham (tasted like spam), fresh salad with vinaigrette, 1 peppery sausage, 1 bacon, muesli with yoghurt. Everything was okay, save the pancakes.

Half hearted food review! Didn't plan to do one. I don't even have pics of the place. You can find some at their official site. The Loft was rebranded from Echo Loft - previously a food, music, art space. Think they've done it up quite well... It's basically a great place to chill, they have quite a big area, seats for various sizes of groups, sofas as well, some window side seats. Located in a shophouse space. They even have a kiddy area with toys. Will take photos if I go again. Seems like a good place for meetings or meals for families with kiddos.

A picture of Muffin to make up for it.
