In Perspective

There are different way looking at things at I'm amazed and tickled by how I.S. magazine, a local free-tabloid-looking magazine adopts theirs.

Especially this particular section of "News from Planet Singapore".

Some excerpts.

May 28th - A group of Secondary 4 students at Dunman High discover that the best way to make shoes odour free is to infuse the insoles with green tea. (Wtf ? how ya do that, wear green tea induced socks?)

June 1st - A matchmaking agency introduces a woman client to five man. She doesn't fancy any. The agency decides the woman has a problem, and stops further introduction. (Nods...)

June 5th - The LTA hires traffic wardens to note the particulars of cars intruding into bus lanes. It says this is cheaper and better than bus cameras (in use since 1997). [I didn't know our bus backs had cameras ?)

June 8th - Three policeman chase a man down Koek Road. According to The Straits Times, Orchard Plaza security guard Mr Mohammad, 29, sticks out a leg, the suspect fals into a bush, and is arrested. (dumb)

You all may not find this funny but it's tongue-in-cheek, slap in the face news is rather brief and contored such that it is just plain funny.

Just needed to share this. I will not look down on free things anymore. I agree with the philosopher or kiasu ah soh who claims that the best things in the world are.

Wacky weirdo wednesday,
