Last night, my Co colleague and I went to visit a friend, Brian Key who is happy birthday. I met Brian 's friend named Levi. I think, the t-shirt was kind of funny. T-shirt was supposed to be Levi 's logo changed to "Evil" and I was teasing on him.

Histories of the surfer at surfer mag
"Historically, surfers were not working. They were hanging out at the beach and casing after the prettiest girls - Successfully chasing after the prettiest girls. Surfers were at odds with the jocks and with the workaday man. but something has happened in the last few years. Now surfers are the same as everyone else. Now it seems surfers are trying to emulate urbanites. And I dont think we are very good at emulating urbanites. What happened? what happened to the tribe?"

Outrage over ‘dog meat’ dishes in Jurong East
(i am surpised about this protect)
An eatery in Jurong East touting two "dog meat" dishes has incurred the wrath of Singaporeans and drawn the attention of authorities.
The owner of Song Hua Jiang restaurant said he has been hounded by angry calls -- many coming in the middle of the night -- after pictures of its menu listing the dishes were posted in online forums on Sunday.
However, Song Yu Ran, 39, who is from China, told The Straits Times (ST) that the two dishes are actually made from pig innards.
The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) said it was investigating and had taken samples of meat from the three-year-old outlet for testing.
"Welfare is a major consideration during the treatment and handling of live animals," said the AVA in an e-mail statement. "In the case of slaughter, AVA accepts only internationally-acceptable humane methods. There is no known humane method of slaughtering dogs for human consumption."
The import of dog meat is illegal in Singapore, and there are no licensed premises for the slaughter of dogs here. If convicted, the offender faces a fine of up to $10,000 or 12 months' imprisonment or both, for each charge.
The menu at the Song Hua Jiang restaurant, which serves North-eastern Chinese cuisine, features the two "dog meat" dishes with photos.
The English descriptions read: braised dog meat with tofu and dry cabbage, and dog meat tripe in sauce. The first costs S$14 while the latter, S$8. Chinese characters indicate only for the second dish that it is not real dog meat. About 40 plates each are sold a week.
However, Song stressed that he explains to any customer who orders the dish that it is not real dog meat.
The restaurant owner filed a complaint with the police Monday evening after receiving numerous disturbing calls.
"They can lodge a complaint against me if I have done something wrong, but they should not be yelling at me if they haven't got their facts right," he said.
Netizens have also posted comments on the Facebook page of animal rights group Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres), with many calling for investigations.
Acres has since clarified on its page saying that the owner has explained that the dish was actually pork, but added that "the owner, however, could not properly explain why he listed it as dog meat rather than just stating it as pork."
Said Acres executive director Louis Ng, "We wrote this because we felt that if the public is told that the eatery just wanted to have an unusual item for patrons to try, it will anger more people… we felt that this was not a proper explanation."
Ng added that Acres will be appealing to AVA to carry out further investigations.
According to Song, the eatery had been checked by AVA several times over the last three years following patrons' complaints about the "dog meat" on the menu.
He said AVA had on those occasions found that the meat was pork and told him only to block out the text on the menu.
He added that he did not remove the items from the menu because he wanted to promote an alternative for Chinese nationals who enjoy dog meat.
"I don't encourage people to eat dog meat, because I think that is cruel and inhumane. I am trying to provide an alternative for people who have a taste for the dish," said Song, who likened the items to mock meat sold in vegetarian restaurants.
His 70-seater eatery gets a mix of Chinese nationals and Singaporean customers.
Song has lived in Singapore for eight years with his wife and 14-year-old daughter. They are now Singapore citizens but he says he would consider moving abroad after this incident, reported ST.
"I am a law-abiding, contributing Singaporean trying to run a business here and it makes me sad that I am being attacked this way," he added.

Major delay on MRT system along East-West line
Thousands of commuters were stuck between 15 minutes to over an hour during a major peak hour delay on the MRT along the East-West line on Thursday morning.
The cause is still being investigated but an announcement by the SMRT on one of the trains said it was due to a "faulty train between Tiong Bahru and Outram".
The delay during peak hour morning traffic caused many on their way to school or work to be late.
Public relations executive Felicia Goh, 24, told Yahoo Singapore she was stuck on the train for over an hour.
"I was initially stuck at Clementi before moving two stops and stalling again at Buona Vista," she said.

Undergraduate Jacqueline Wong, 22, was at Buona Vista station and after waiting for 15 minutes on the train and finding out about the long delay on micro-blogging platform Twitter, got off and took a bus instead.
Her mother was not so lucky. She took one hour and 20 minutes to get from Buona Vista station to Outram Park, reaching work two hours late, said Wong.
Jeremy Foo, 32, an engineer stuck at Outram Park station, added, "I heard trains have been delayed all morning. I've been waiting here for the last 25 minutes and still no train. This is bad."
Another commuter stuck at the Outram MRT station, sales manager, Germaine Chia, said what made it worse was that mobile phone reception was poor.
"People have been complaining since I got here. The trains are not running and there' s no reception so we can't call in at work. Thankfully, this seldom happens," said the 27-year-old.

Frustrated commuters also took to Twitter to complain about the crawling train service and warned others to skip the train ride this morning.
@Redha E tweeted, "I think the delay affected a lot of places. Lots of grumpy people at Bugis MRT tation when i got down just now."
Said @fumblies, "Thanks to the lengthy train delay, I get my much needed sleep on the stationary mrt + an excuse to be super late for lecture."
When contacted, SMRT said it will be releasing a statement soon.
On Sunday, a train was delayed at the Ang Mo Kio station after a Thai teenage girl fell onto the tracks and was hit by a train.
The cause is still being investigated but an announcement by the SMRT on one of the trains said it was due to a "faulty train between Tiong Bahru and Outram".
