Drama. Comedy. Amazing.
The 3 words to describe this life.
The life of Derrick.

A quick update of the world
I feel like starting my own online magazine to kill time in the office. Hehe...

Anyway here we go! A quick update of the world!

That nasi lemak guy who escaped from the clutches of our highly efficient Singapore Police Force is still at large. Apparently authorities still believe he is in Singapore. I think the chances of him paddling on a sampan to some off shore island is higher. Maybe he is in Pedra Blanca.

Taxi drivers are confused about the new rulings governing them in the CBD area. Apparently Singapore decided to adopt Hong Kong's policy of using taxi stands only. My opinion: Why change and confuse our taxi drivers... keep to the old policy. Anywhere also can. We don't want to change the wonderful impression most of us have on taxi drivers. The james bond drivers who can cut lanes in the midst of heavy traffic. Seriously, it's a skill. They are all trained stunt drivers.

The Dalai Lama(hehe everytime i say "dalai lama", i break into a chuckle. Dalai sounds so nirvana and Lama sounds like Llama. So what you do you get when you put them together? A enlightened donkey. Hehe... okok that was bad of me. I apologise to those who respect the Dalai Lama deeply) is apparently very hot now. The religious leader of Tibet is apparently asking for more autonomy from China but China seems to be ignorant of Tibet. Which makes me wonder, why on earth does China want to hold on to Tibet so tightly and eat up Taiwan?! Are they trying to increase their overall population or something? Your country so big already still want more land and people. Sheesh. At least govern your current land properly first before asking for more! Macham Malaysia like that. Fighting for a small piece of land when they already got SOOOO much unused land.

US market is spiralling downwards. One of the top investment banks, Bear Stearns, has been sold to another investment bank,JP Morgan, at a ridiculously low price to prevent bankrupcy. It's a really bad omen... A depression might be coming our way. But on a lighter note, rush to do online shopping at US online stores! Because of the drop in exchange rate, things are SOOO MUCH CHEAPER! So start clicking and making online payments! There is no better time to do online shopping than now! And guess what, my school fees at NYU are dropping by the thousands for each drop in cents! Whoot!

Some entertainment news. Daniel Radcliff, also known as Harry Potter, is addicted to smoking! He smokes a packet a day and has been puffing on the movie set. So don't be surprise to see cigarette butts on the floor of hogwarts when the new movie debuts at the end of the year.

Ok thats all you need for now to seem intelligent in front of your friends or people you just met. Use words like 'subprime' and 'credit crunch' like the reporters on Channel News Asia, and i assure you people will be fascinated at how smart and well informed you are. Wiki those words if you want to impress them even more. Oh wikipedia... my best friend...
