HELLO EVERYBODY!

Yesterday evening was my first book out from Tekong!

Good news & Bad news!

GOOD NEWS is Sweets.sg or “Blogger’s Sweets” is getting quite a good response!

BAD NEWS IS, I’VE GOT NO TIME TO BLOG! I’ve just finish reading through 200+ emails and loads of blog updates, and I’ve got to go gai-gai and enjoy some civilian life now!

Will update again next weekend, but do check out my twitter updates from time to time!

Yay, I’m going for “holiday chalet” tomorrow!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!

(okay, let’s stop being too optimistic already)

But seriously, how better can it get when your enlistment day falls on FRIDAY THE 13TH?!

And to top that up, a 20 yo guy died in Tekong just two days ago…..WHILE WALKING! Not only that, some NS guy just died today in Brunei.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is definitely not a very good sign, isn’t it?

But then again, I heard the news saying something like they’re gonna stop all trainings for 3 days to reflect on the army system? Hmmm… Maybe it is actually a good time to enlist, huh?

ANYHOW, the time has come and I have to serve the nation no matter what.

Oh, did I mention that the army has already cost me some advertorials and blogging events? Sigh. I’ve not even finish with the blog posts that I wanna post up before I enlist lor!

K anyway, just to update, my makan man won me a brand new laptop! WOOT!

Please ignore how Makan Man looks so off in real life. Anyway, that’s Patrick from mypartners and his cute Snow White daughter!

Check this out:

It’s illustrated by mirage-works.com. Cool beans right!

I’ll post up the full entries when I’m back!

By the way, I’ll be twittering while inside, so do check out my twitter updates here or at my twitter page!

So I guess it’s bye for now and hello to Recruit Tan!

P/S: WHAT THE HELL IS SWEETS.SG?!

…that will only last me for like what? one week plus?!

(anyway, last week was a fantabulous week, but I’ve got a few entries to post up, and to keep them in the correct order, I’d to post this up first!)

and so, I was psycho-ed by nadia and fabian to get a haircut sometime two weeks ago. and since I’m enlisting pretty soon, I’m supposed to try something new… and anyway, they too decided to cut their hair!

here’s us…

and here’s the obligatory camwhore before the damage:

Okay, maybe “damage” isn’t the correct word, ‘cos I simply HEART the new hair!

and Nad had new bangs!

Fab got a shorter trim and here’s us with our wonderful hairstylist, Jess!

Haha! I love this posey photo!

COUNTDOWN: 3 MORE DAYS TILL RECRUIT TAN

You guys know how a usual toilet signage would look like, right?

So anyway, I was eating dinner with Nad at bugis foodcourt the other day when she pointed out this to me:

We seriously think the sign meant, “Toilets for men & FAT women”

Don’t you think so too?!

Anyhoo, I decided to search flickr for any interesting toilet signs and these are what I’ve gotten:

Toilets for Men with man-boobs. (source)

To toilets or …Sex change clinic? (source)

“Hmmm… I wonder if this is a mens toilet???” (source)

AND I SPOT RACISM!

LOL! Toilets for indian men and women only! (source)

Last but not least, this is not a bad design, but a cheeky toilet sign and I think it works!

Honestly, I don’t care too much about the readership of my blog. I constantly tell myself that if I fret too much about it, I will drift away from the initial passion to blog, which is indefinitely not what I wanted.

There was even a point of time that I wanted to shut down this blog and start a private one – it was when there were too much of advertisements on my blog and I seemed to lose the reason for blogging to earn money through it.

Come to think of it, a high amount of readers and plentiful of advertisements, CAN BE two totally different things. But they tend to conflate and work hand-in-hand in most popular blogs.

I never believe in blogging for the sake of money. Well *erm* maybe during ad-related posts, I might come across as a sell-out at times, but all of the blogging rights reside in me, whether the certain product is good or not. Obviously, I would NEVER do an advertorial or go to an event for ZINC BAGS! (Oh if you don’t know, I loathe Zinc bags. I think NTUC plastic bags look better than them.)

Anyway, ever since blogs hit the shores, there has been an increasing amount of people who simply wanna get famous through it. And I find it so ever amusing on the different ways and methods bloggers used to increase readership.

Well, here’s my top 5 ways of how I think bloggers can instantly become famous over night.

#1. Write about topics that are sensitive in your countries. Particularly in Singapore, racism & politics.

For eg.,
You (insert a race) are so smelly!!!
What is this pathetic (insert a race) man (again, it have to be a (insert that race again)!!!!) doing in the train?

#2. Make insensitive remarks at other people’s plight, à la Sharon Stone who says the earthquakes in China are karma.

Or even better, blame it on the people like what this Liaoning girl did.

#3. Patent a very general way of doing things and later sue people who does it the same way.

Refer to DK’s Top 10 Patent list!
“10) Method of walking by alternative movement of the left and right lower limp
9 ) Method of selecting an item on a Personal Computer by a mouse click
8 ) Method of consuming nutrition thru mouth for the purpose of providing nutritional needs[...]“

#4. Go to jail, jail break via the toilet ventilation window. Preferably to walk with a limp!

Not only you’ll get famous overnight, they’ll throw in free makeovers:

Free posters:

Free MMS:

And you’ll be starred in your very own tv series!

#5. Do it the Edison Chen way. NEED I SAY MORE?

Disclaimer: I don’t hold any responsibility of any consequences that you may face after following these ways okay! Heh!

Anyway, WHAT IS SWEETS.SG?!
