Huh?

Received this advertisement in my inbox earlier today with the headline "Real Women Drink Beer". 

What is a 'real woman'? What about women who drink cosmos, martinis or shots? Apparently not only does a 'real woman' drink beer, but she also engages in the traditional trappings of femininity - the skirts, the heels, the long hair, the cleavage.

This makes me want to chug some beer right now, just so that I can burp in the face of these marketers. But that said, the lychee and honeydew beer sounds awesome.

What I believe

A first-world country needs a first-world government.

What I believe

In a short summary, but also because it's too long to post on Twitter.

A vote for the PAP is a vote for the status quo. Which is fine if you belong to certain privileged groups: Chinese, middle-class to well-to-do, male, educated, able-bodied and straight.

If you are anything else, you're fucked.

So I'll hold you underwater, breathe with me if you can

Last week, I hung out with Marcus at The Pigeonhole when it hosted its first Open Mic session, inviting seven bands to take the stage and perform their original songs for 15-minute sets. Like any other free-for-all session, the bands were a mixed bag. There were some bands with songs and lyrics so inane I wanted to poke my eye out (okay, granted that one band was an amateur band)... Seriously, think Taylor Swift's inane lyrics, but dumb them down even more.

But I came out of the four-hour session really enamoured with two bands, with Monster Cat being one of the bands that I really really loved. Or rather, this song Underwater is super awesome that I've been listening to it on loop for some days now.

And who says Singapore has no talent?

Melody and Dave giving me the tour of Mel's hotel room in Vegas. Also, should really comb my hair before I take photos of myself.

Singapore Biennale

From the Singapore Biennale description:

Koh Nguang How is a artist, archivist, and curator who has been documenting and collecting materials relating to contemporary art in Singapore since the late 1980s. Koh's documentation of the Artists Village between 1989 and 1999 has become a significant historical resource. In 2005 he established the Singapore Art Archive Project, presenting a selection from it as part of SB2011. Based on the extensive collection that swamps his HDB flat, and a trove of art news clipped from Singapore’s English and Chinese language newspapers, Koh will set up within the gallery an active archival laboratory that replicates the configuration of his apartment. The project merges personal research, private and public space, and public enquiry. A man who collects and archives shitloads of newspaper articles and stores it in his own HDB flat? This is also known as my mom's worst nightmare. (Although to be honest, I wouldn't be able to live with his many newspaper cuttings as well.)

Best thing about the iPhone 4

FaceTime! All without incurring overseas call charges too! :D
