Farewell 2009


Some events are no doubt entertaining, others, toe curling, if not, fatal.

Category: Best Local news



Winner:


The basement of a condominium in Bukit Timah was heavily flooded after an afternoon's worth of rain. Cars, including BMWs, were captured floating in the carpark. If the drainage system in Bukit Timah area is not improvised, maybe we can develop Bukit Timah into Vernice of Singapore, this, needs the effort of the Singapore Tourism Board, to attract tourists to this Uniquely Singapore location.




Vernice of Singapore


(Uniquely Singapore)




1st Runner up:


A naked couple strolled down Holland Village, all bits and boobs were in full view. The Swede guy handcuffed retorted that “he found nothing in Singapore's penal code which prohibited prancing about in the buff”.











2nd Runner up:

The Merlion was strucked on the head by lightning, causing it to be shut down for many weeks while workers rushed to repair the badly cracked head.


Consolation:

Eating rojak bought from Geylang Serai's temporary wet market lead to nasty food poisoning saga, 154 casualties, 48 hospitalized, 2 dead. A massive clean up for the market, which has not been cleaned for past 3 years, netted 122 rats.


Consolation:

Killer litter queen from Sengkang has been nabbed, things she threw from her flat included chilli sauce bottle, flower pots, water-filled plastic bags, etc. The flower pot hit a man on his head. The killer litter was nabbed after THREE years of menace, so what were the authorities doing? Hibernating?


Consolation:

Burger King goes upmarket, with the opening of Whopper BAR at Clarke Quay, so can I please have a Vodka for my beef patties? Next, Burger King goes hip with the opening of outlet at Ion Orchard, where you plug in your iPod and listen to your favourite tunes while eating.


Consolation:

The Singapore Armed Forces blew its top when Nservicemen uploaded photographs and sensitive intra-unit information on popular social networking site Facebook. Now, how did these dudes get hold of camera/cameraphones while incamp, strange but true.


Consolation:

Singapore's newest and tallest public housing, The Pinnacle@Duxton will charge non residents for the use of its 50th storey skybridge to sight see, view includes CBD, batam, etc. The fee is $5.00 per view to access this public place, visitors capped at 200 per day. Money, money, money, it's so funny... ...





The Pinnacle@Duxton




Consolation:


Beauty queens and the need to speak Proper English becomes a hot debate. Enough said.



Consolation:


Mas Selamat was caught, finally.


Consolation:


Aware Saga is finally over. (yawn)
