There’s lots of things buzzing over the InterWeb right now, and here are some highlights.
A. LABOUR chief Lim Swee Say has this advice for the 30,000 job seekers in Singapore: There are still jobs out there.
Well, despite there being jobs, the competition for the spot is very tough. You’re competing with ang-mohs (which I’ll get onto later) with super hebat qualifications from super overhyped universities (yes, Melbourne U, I’m talking about U). What you can do is to offer something that the company needs, and a single competitive advantage. Don’t tell the interviewer / boss that you know SQL, XML, Java, C++, Sybase, Oracle, Unix, Apache, LAMP environment, Cisco and DJ-ing. No use lah, although impressive.
Tell them, Ï designed silentscreamonline.com, a successful Malaysian rock band as well as headed the online advertising and promotional efforts of multiple college organisations and a big Petronas-subcontractor”. That is enough to sell yourself already.
B. AFTER its $40 million makeover, iconic Orchard Road is going all-out to sell its charms to Singaporeans and tourists alike.
Final exams are 8-19 June. Immediately after that, will probably visit koko (brother) in Singapore and walk-walk around. By then the iPod Touch should be available. I wonder if its cheaper there. At the same time, gotta visit the new Orchard Road, and friends such as Vineet and Jason Lim 
Another place I wanna “visit” is Genting. But dad wouldn’t allow lah; cuz I’m a serial gambler! 
C. Sex education remains an awkward subject for both parents and teachers in Viet Nam because of the conservative attitude towards things considered “sensitive”. Thus, adults either end up not talking about sex and relationships to youngsters or else talk down to them or are evasive.
No sex ed in Viet = no Viet wives or Gfs.
Think twice when a prostitute offers you, “Sucky sucky fai dollah [rm 18]“. Kthxbie.
D. How to get lucky with women by Skilldo [link via Asiaone]
Very useful tip to khaw Singaporean women. I hope it works globally =P
But I never trust any tips no matter what (shares trading, business proposals, 4D betting). Gotta “listen to your heart”.
E. Mc Donald’s Malaysia on Facebook – Win an iPhone with 6 months of Maxis Value80 plan. Essentially they take care of your whole iPhone experience for the minimum duration.
This is a great marketing campaign by Mc D. Buy a JesusPhone for RM 3500, get thousands of Malaysian bloggers to blog about your shitty restaurant serving food that shortens our lives. On top of that, imagine the FREE publicity they’re getting for a mere RM 3500. Blog readers are on average having more spending power than non-online savvy people. They’re also easily influenced and believe almost anything they read online even if its half truths.
Air Asia starting this blogging thing with the Wanna be a Pilot? Blog about it. I’m still bitter they didn’t call me!
F. REVVING up their machines, they burn rubber as they tear down the roads of Malaysia. These are illegal racers who occasionally duel with each other for glory.
We gotta read international media to know about the shit happening in Malaysia. We get a different perspective on the real issues going on around us. We are blessed because unlike China, the InterWeb is not censored or monitored. Instead of reading thestar.com.my or malaysiakini.com , we should look at WSJ.com or Google News which links to hundreds of overseas news agencies. Rempit FTW.
G. Swine Flu (H1N1)
We’re at level 5 now (out of 6) so its pretty serious. Anyway, according to Patrick, we should be worried cuz the virus dies at 70C. Even if we don’t die from this flu, we’ll still be kaput in 2012 (oh no, here i go again, I’m out of my medicine!)
Hong Kong kena already. I gave wrong info to the guys yesterday. Its not Najib’s admin team that kena Swine. But OBAMA’s team. My bad.
H. SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) – Microsoft said Thursday that a nearly-final version of its next-generation Windows 7 operating system will be publicly released on May 5.
WOOOHOOO… Salvation is here!
Goodbye, XP. File -> Delete -> C:\Windows\Vista .
The only thing that can sway me right now is that if Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is compatible with normal Intel-PCs without having to apply some leet hacks. If Apple makes its OS available, Windows would have to do something radicle. But at the moment, I feel MS will still have its slender lead (ok, a big one lah) but Apple will be chipping off their market share.

I’m a big fan of Jon Steward. His jokes are very funny. He works with a team of jokers (literally) and a creative video team. Worth watching la.

Ok, I did say Mc Donald’s is bad. But as college students with our Catan withdrawal symtoms we have no other choice but to buy a “small Coke” at RM 2.10 with Unlimited Refills and sit at their air-cond restaurants with big TV and watch our football matches. YW: There are downloadable coupons there, so you might wanna try them out.
Ok, you win, Mc Donalds.
