Hello there. I am Terry and I am a full-time undergraduate based in Singapore. I take photos, write a blog and design websites.

And no, I'm not a teddy bear.

Happy Birthday, Singapore!!!

Happy Birthday, Singapore!

Singapore. A beautiful island set in the middle of the sea. When you have an arial view of this small nation, it’ll glitter like a beautiful piece of jade in the middle of the blue blue sea.

Time flies, and it is 40 years since Singapore gained its independencce. As crime-free and transportation-efficient nation, Singapore is the envy of its neighbours. It establishes lots of cordial bilateral relationship with many other nations, making it s peace-loving country.

When people speak about Singapore, I think about the Merlion, the MRT stations, the Esplanade and also Geylang (in case you don’t what what Geylang is, it is a red-light district). In the past year, the Sarong Party Girl incident, Huang Na’s murder and Sindee’s death stirred the country. The tsunami disaster also tells that Singapore should be greatful because it is shielded by many other nations from almost all types of natural disasters (except for draught).

Singapore has grown stronger over the years… and wish Singapore a happy 40th birthday!

    Um, who is the Sarong Party Girl? Who is Huang Na? Who is Sindee?

  2. teddYResponse

    Sarong Parth Girl – A Singaporean female who posted nude pictures of her own on her blog and talks openly about he sexual experience online. Stirred some news in Singapore. People argued that she was just trying to be open but some thinks that she is morally corrupted.

    Huang Na – The poor China PRC who is 10 yrs old (if not mistaken) who was murdered last year by her best friend, Mr Took. Decomposed body was found on the slope of Telok Blangah Hill, mid of Oct 2004.

    Sindee – 4 year old girl got thrown down from the HDB flat where she stays by her father’s girlfriend, Constance Chee, who was an ex-stewardess. Sindee’s mom, a Thai, was experiencing bumpy relationship with her dad, after she found that he had a girdfriend, Constance. One fine night Constance Chee entered their unit, grabbed Sindee as a human shield as she claimed that Sindee father was waving a butcher knife at her. She then ran upstairs grabbing Sindee. Then she allegedly threw Sindee down the flat, who hit the ground floor pedestrian onning and died because she suffered from head injuries.

Your name is required. Why?

  • So that I can address you personally (which I'm more than happy to do).
  • Everyone loves their name to be called, right? Nobody wants to be referred to as 'a certain someone' or Mr X (X-Men members aside).
  • If your post too much spam, your name will be imprinted on a personalised voodoo doll, completely free of charge. I'm just joking!

Your email is needed. Why?

  • Your email is, and will, never be given out to any third party under any conditions (except for people sneaking up behind me when I'm on WP admin).
  • So that I can contact you personally in case of certain issues that I wish to address personally.
  • If you post too much spam, I'll email the same spam you've posted 10 times back to you, completely free of charge.

You can always leave a personal URL behind

  • It can be anything - most people put their blog URL, their facebook page, their Twitter URL, their MySpace or etc.
  • I give love back by saying NO to no-follow. All of your webbie links are dofollows instead.

Twitter. Twitter. Twitter.

  • What is Twitter?: Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length.

Hello Easter Egg hunter! You've discovered the magic of the Konami Code!

Yea. You probably know what the Konami code is before getting to this page. So now what? Here is a randomised YouTube video on my favourites list... which includes Rickroll, if you're luck enough to get it.

You are currently watching The Simpsons - Donut Hell. Loving it? You can even watch the video in its full screen glory :)
