This week i have learnt:

1) That the National Library Board (NLB) have run out of books to archive that they have started the project of archiving website.

2) That Singaporean should teach themselves basic manners if they don't wish or can't take the mockery made at them at rudesingaporean.blogspot.com instead of taking legal action against them.

3) That despite we are given the freedom of speech, we are still ranked 146th in the Reporters Without Borders Worldwide Press Freedom Index. Contradicting.

<full story>

4) That Deepa-raya is a new word to describe an event to celebrate both Deepavali and Hari Raya together. I am not lying, that's what i saw on the notice board at the lift lobby i am residing in.

5) That if you don't like people to be playing football to be flying into your flat, don't ever move to a place with basketball, street soccer court or even open field near where you live. Best solution, move to private housing because every public housing you move to, there will be kids playing football on either one of the places so no point writing to forum to complain on this situation.

6) That in order to encourage commuters to flag the bus early, SBS have launched the 'Flag the bus early' campaign. Maybe they should set a standard to commuters how many seconds later we should start flagging the bus upon seeing the bus coming from a distance.

7) That commuters should also have a campaign named ' Can bus driver stop showing that cocky face just because SBS is monopolising the Land Transport in Singapore?' because i personally find bus driver very cocky.

8) That Starhub is now offically the worst ISP (Internet Service Provider) that i have came across. Out of 10 times you consult them with problem relating to the internet, 9.5 times they will answer you, the problem lies with your PC. Please pay me the money because i feel i can do a better job giving better answers. Better and faster services? kiss my ass.

9) That an acceptable answer to answering an internet-related problem would be ' in usual case of such problem, 99% lies with the user and 1% lies with bad karma.'

10) That i like to end my Javducation with 10 learning points.
