What the? Part 2

Was logging in to MacD’s wireless network when the router redirected me to register with http://www.mobik.com. What the??? So I tried Starhub’s Wireless, which unfortunately is not free, and so I went back to MacD’s network and sold my soul phone number for internet access.

I have a bad feeling that I am going to get lots of phone spam soon. It’s no longer just the good ol’ login page at MacD’s; it’s probably going to be number-for-internet_access soon, that is, you have to give them (mobik?) your phone number so that they can eventually spam you (?) in order for you to surf the net for free.

There’s really no free lunch in this world. :(

What the?

Was preparing to go out moments ago after washing up and waiting for my hair to dry up when Ch U news ran a short commentary on V-Day in Singapore.

It was all alright when I caught a glimpse of a couple kissing over national TV. No big deal. Then I saw 2 couples. Still no big deal. Then there were 3… 4… and a whole group!

Wow! Is it some mass stuff that’s going on? Then I realised that there is a whole stadium crowd of couples kissing, with some heart-ornament decorated stage in the background of the event on TV with some MC cheering on.

What the??? And I thought public display of affection is illegal in Singapore. But here we have 100s of couples smooching away on national TV??? Didn’t manage to catch any gay couples though. Hur hur. :P
