Pics from the office

These were taken in the office. From the lift generator onwards, the pictures are taken when I was given a rare access to the roof top of my office tower.

I am quite surprised that the lift generators are really not very big, and they can actually haul quite a big number of people. (For security reasons I did not take photos of the other equipment in that room.)

You might also want to take note of the lightning rod in the foreground of the picture taken in the direction of Republic Plaza and some of the equipment on the roof of the other buildings.

天意?

世界杯终于结束了。法兰西在柏林的世界杯大决赛中败北,败给了卑鄙又不择手段的意大利。输,不是因为技不如人,而是欠缺运气!

从六月七日对中国的热身赛中,吉布里尔.西塞断脚开始,到七月九日施丹发狂用头猛撞对方的球员结束,是否冥冥中早以注定了法兰西国家队的失败?上帝啊,您对法兰西国家队也太残忍了吧?为何就不让它象阿根廷一样提早出局,何必如此玩弄它?虽然我本身也不是很喜欢它,但至少它是默默的耕耘,靠着本身的实力抵达大决赛的啊!哪象那可恶的意大利是靠运气,和投机取巧的?

施丹,一代球王,我为你那一杀那的失去理智感到深深的惋惜。仍然得到金球奖,或许是你离开国际球坛前唯一的安慰吧?

我也为公平和真正有技术的足球赛的死亡而哀悼。

可恨又可恶的意大利人,好好的为你这不配得到的大力神杯庆祝吧。擅长扑地的葛罗索,我等着看你 “扑街” 的一天。你从澳大利亚那里窃取的胜利,迟早都要还的。嘴巴放不干净的马特拉齐,你这侮辱别人病危母亲的贱种就等着牙齿掉满地的下场吧!施丹没有在头锤你之后再补多几脚,可以说是对你慈悲了。换了是我早就当场把你碎尸万段。我不会忘记你们这两个狗娘养的王八蛋,因为你们的下三烂手段完全不可原谅!

我们走着瞧吧!我一生一世都不会忘记 2006年 你用肮脏又卑鄙的手段得到你不配得到的东西! 2008年 的欧洲杯,实力会证明一切。就算到时候上帝不好好的收拾你们,2010年 下届世界杯赛时,祂也肯定会让你们这班沾污了大力神杯的狗种们得到应有的惩罚。哪怕未来两届比赛祂什么也不做,来日放长,我会好好的等着这一刻的到来。因为到我死,我也会等着。

到时候,就算我只有最后一口气,我也会大声疾呼正义得到伸张的!因为,正义往往迟到,但是它绝对不会不到!

France Lost

It is a sad day.

France lost to the team that is most undeserving of the cup. The team that dived to cheat a penalty out of Australia. The team that played rough against the U.S. when they were outplayed. The team that resorts to the underhand methods against Germany to get one of their players banned for a match.

Sadly, there was no divine justice. Not even a poetic one. I wasn’t wrong when I said ‘divine justice is the wishful thinking of the delusional’. I am right about that comment because that shithead Grosso who dived in the game against Australia, scored the final goal.

Yet, France didn’t lose at the penalty. It lost, when Zidane head-butted one of the Shit-talians. It was a behaviour that is most unworthy of any sportsman, even though he can say he was provoked by the Shit-taly player who stick an arm out to obstruct him.

Why he did it is probably everyone’s question. Frustration? Or simply to find an excuse to leave the pitch so that he wouldn’t be held responsible for France’s ultimate loss? We will never know. But it is a sad way for Zidane and Barthez to end their careers.

Shit-taly didn’t win because it was good. And that is a fact when France held them to a draw for 90 minutes. France then hold them down for another 30, with only 10 men on the pitch for the last 10 minutes of the game. Shit-taly fans might argue that if not for that penalty awarded to Zidane, then it would have already been decided but hell, they probably wouldn’t even be playing here if not for that undeserving penalty against Australia.

Whatever the case is, the World Cup is over. Let Euro 2008 prove that Shit-taly is undeserving of this championship.

Hasta la Vista Mr Brown Column on TODAY

This came from Mr Brown’s Blog

    Regarding TODAY

    Some of you have been asking, so here goes.

    I have been informed that TODAY has suspended my column.

    It has been a trying few days for me, my family, my mum and my friends. Thank you all for your emails, letters, calls, SMSes, blogs and comments, I don’t know what to say.

    Thanks.

It is a sad day for many of us, except for those who have already muzzled themselves by feigning their lack of interest in the politics and current affairs of Singapore. Some may even say Brown has been asking for it all along and this is long in coming.

But it is truly unfortunate that the press – in this case TODAY – once again shows itself to be truly non-independent and that free press is Singapore is truly a myth and RSF is vindincated in rating Singapore as 140th out of 167 countries in the world in 2005.

So long, Mr Brown. I hope you will continue to write articles like you used to and put it up on your blog.
