New TVC fresh out of RSN.

Moral of the story folks, well, there’s really no moral to be learnt here. I probably would turn and look as well.

Opposition MPs from Workers’ Party and the ruling PAP last Friday in a show of unity came together to form a Parliamentary soccer team to compete against a combined team comprising of media staff and representatives.

The parliamentary soccer team was formed by MOS Teo Ser Luck in August which comprises of Parliamentarians as well as Parliament staffs. Last Friday’s match up with the first game the team played.

MP for Aljunied GRC, Pritam Singh, one of the Workers’ Party players, shared his experience in a Facebook note which tickled our funny bone.

The game was played in good spirit and friendly banter. Before the game, I informed MOS Tan Chuan Jin I was a leftie (both in terms of my kicking foot and my general ideological leaning) and that I would be happy to play anywhere on the left side of the pitch. He responded noting that the WP appeared generally rather centrist, to which I agreed to play in the centre if need be, but not before adding in jest that I could be “right-winged” on some matters. A round of laughs ensued. On the bench at the start of the second half, Ag Minister for MCYS MG Chan Chun Sing jokingly noted that if the Parliament team won the game, the media probably would not report the story since we were competing against a combined Singapore media team. I jokingly retorted that such non-reportage would prove the mainstream media was biased! Speaker of Parliament Michael Palmer in good humour, promised me an extra minute of speaking time in Parliament after I scored a consolatory penalty.

Now if this is the direction that the new Parliament is heading, it only bodes well for Singapore. After all, regardless of party affiliation, we all bleed Red and White.

Giving away used ground coffee to its customers for gardening, collecting rainwater for lavatory use and switching to LED bulbs for energy conservation are just some of the very cool green initiatives being spearheaded by one of Starbucks Malaysia’s Setia Alam outlet.

Judee Tan, popularly known in most mainstream circles as “Kim Bong Cha”, the eccentric North Korean newscaster from the TV series, The Noose, has been raising a lot of eyebrowns online with buzz over her performances on the stage after videos circulating around the Internet have been picked up by Netizens and reposted on popular forums like Hardwarezone.

We too are really impressed with her bi-linguistic command of English and Hokkien as well as her stage flair and charisma that we had to share those videos here.

“Kim Bong Cha” Debut

Rendition of popular Hokkien favorite ‘Na Si Wa Wu Ji Pa Ban’ and ‘Billionaire’

Did you also know that she also sings?

Just do a simple search for ‘Judee Tan’ on Youtube and you’ll probably find much more videos.

As for us, we can’t wait to see what else she has to offer, but so far its pretty darn good.
