Mid-CNY

Right, so I'm back on this cos I'm a little bored at work. 

It's a Friday, and so far I have:

1. helped a colleague choose cuff-links online (though she isn't buying them for me, damn it)
2. taken part in an online contest to win a free retro looking keyboard (LOFREE, I'm adding this awesome link for any soul here to have a chance to win too)
3. cleared some Alliance Quest nodes in Marvel's Contest of Champions. My Alliance is Singapore Chillax Alliance btw, in case you are also playing and need some company.

Ok, as I promised to myself, we shall move on to current affairs.

HDB is going to spend S$100mil on lift maintenance. That's good, so hopefully we do not see anymore pets on leashes getting BDSM freaky with the lifts. You have to bear in mind, they can't really speak, so 'Bark Bark Woof Woof' could either be "Ooh yeah baby tighter' or their safe-word, kind of hard to tell so let's not play guess what they mean with your pets.

Road safety next. I think road accidents are very much in the news lately. From drivers doing illegal turns, dashing through red lights, sio kan lor (heading the wrong direction) idiots, hit and run bastards (both on the roads and in carparks) and clowns who squeeze their cars at speed through tight and heavy traffic. My personal two cents worth is that this is not a new spat of incidents. All these have been going on since the first cars were sold on our shores.

The first variable that has changed, is the widespread implementation of the in-car camera, which was once upon a time most likely first introduced in a Merc S-Class. The second variable, is definitely the viral usage of social media. Even my 73 year old aunt uses FaceBook and Instagram!! So for those out there who forgot what they learnt during their driving lesson days, I think just simple common sense would prevent you from being filmed by the massive number of car cameras these days. Or if you think you feel like contributing to our reserves via fines, who am I to judge.

I shall not touch on politics as of now, since I can't really be bothered to follow the Trump nonsense. Or the Philippine drug war. Or the Brexit hooha. All I know is, Son Goku of the DragonBall franchise is the mascot for the 2020 Japan Olympics, and that is just awesome.
