I DONT BELIEVE SINGAPORE ALLOWS THIS.
That's it. I'm going to take a trip down there soon to take a look. I've been there when I was really young and i can only remember half of the pictures that i've posted. This is too freaky.
Have you all been there recently?

People try too hard to come up with names. From celebrities making a mockery out of their offspring by naming them as if they were racehorses, to marketers who clearly named their products on a whim.
Not that there aren’t any good names around, but must names really be special? Why can't more effort be channelled into something else?
One brand I know, has certainly went all out to develop some of the best gadgets the world has ever seen and at the same time, came up with some of the cutest but simplest naming conventions for their products. This brand is one other than Apple. The name of the company is already proof above all else. Why not some weird name like..
COOLANGATTA? (I got that from my phone dictionary)
Okay, it's a suburb in Gold Coast, Australia.
How about naming it, Steve Jobs & Co.?
No, cause Apple was enough.
No fancy pantsy complicated word that does not even exist in the dictionary.
Just something as humble as the fruit that keeps the doctor away.
In the past, everyone knew the apple as the fruit.
At the present, everyone knows Apple as the company. Even my grandmother knows Apple!
In the future, the word "apple"might never be a fruit anymore.
Let's take a look at some of their best products and simplest names.
Back in the 1970s - 1980s, they named their products:
Apple I Apple II Apple III and so forth. I suppose they knew that they can't use that naming convention forever or else it would be Apple VVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIII (too many excellent Apple products!)
Next came the Apple Lisa. Simply named after Steve Job's daughter.
Next was the powerbook. It wasn't hard to guess what kind of an electronic it was just by looking at its name.
And by the way, this design lay the foundations for the modern form of the laptop.
Fastforwarding, by the time Apple started to name a multitude of products starting with the letter "i", they were already regarded as one of the most inventive and innovative electronics-maker in the world.
From the very first transclucent shell iMac to the revolutionary iPhone, almost every product that started with an "i" in its name was a success.
The iPod line can be considered as the best testimony.
Don't you just like how it sounds? when you have an iPod, you know it's yours cause there is an "i". At least that's what i feel. There is a sense of belonging and you know you are in the Apple community.
And not forgetting a series which continues the legacy of Apple not with the letter "i" but with the word "mac".
Macbook
MacBook Pro as well as the new and improved iMac, the Mac Pro and Mac Mini.
And then came along MacBook Air.. When they first announced the name, you would have already guessed what it's all about.....
Once again, like the humble origins of the brand name, they didn't need bombastic product names to propel them into this modern golden age. All they needed was a combination of product genius and simple yet catchy naming conventions to send the world into a frenzy.
My personal favourite is the iPhone.
When I first got wind of Apple venturing into the mobile phone market with the launch of a phone, I knew the phone can only be called iPhone and I was spot on.
(Even a consumer can guess the name of a product way before it's launched, that's how powerful Apple's simple naming convention is)
Simple name, but this gadget packs a punch.
Here's how:
okay wait, i'm sure everyone knows about the specs like INSIDE OUT cause this phone is just HOT to the maximum. It's just as hot as Sunny Singapore.
I'll try going a different way..
Ever heard of how Anti-Mac or just plain old jane criticising the iphone? It seems that whenever a new Apple product is launched, people want to crticise it because they know just how good it is. It's almost like a competition to see who can dig out the ONE bad point about Apple product. However, their “undying” efforts are always furtile and will get them nowhere. Let me look at how i can counter each of them with my own opinion.
1: The iPhone only got 2 mega-pixel camera leh! Well, you are right, it's 2 mega pixel. But, why would you need those 5 mega-pixels or more phones when their screen is so freaking small?! I don't even think their quality is that good anyway. 5 mega pixels just means that you will get to see the flaws in the pictures and you have to resize them. Damn troublesome!
iPhone has a 3.5 inch (diagonal) widescreen interface. Which means, if you are 1.9m tall, i would not have to like run 3km away from you just to snap a picture! (cause my screen is so big, i can capture the full length easily. get it?)
See, i countered it so easily.
2. What? 8GB and 16GB. Good Luck to you! Your phone is going to be super laggy.
Come on, what era are you living in?
Everyone knows that if you store full to the brim for ANY memory card, be it 1GB or anything, it will slow down a little. What's more, 8GB and 16GB are huge huge huge. I'm sure there are plenty of space for you to put songs, videos and etc. If you finish watching a video, don't be lazy.. just take it out. that is simple logic. isn't it.
3. the iPhone.. err, has no 3G!
Now it does, you kuku. 4. Long queue to get the iPhone!! Wimp.
Oh please, dont give me this kind of BS.
5. There is no keyboard!!
Well, as you can see, even though it has no keyboard, you can still see what numbers you are keying and what you are typing in your sms right? I don't get why people have to feel it physically. troublesome people. tsk.
6. It has got only one button.
That's the coolest thing about the iPhone. Nothing but one button and that's enough! You operate the phone through the touchscreen which switches from numbers to letters and to any other commands you need seamlessly. No more complicated or hard to reach buttons, just one flat surface. That simple! And the touchscreen is unlike any other. Join two fingers together in a pinching motion and the screen actually zooms in!
Let's compare the steps we use for any normal phones:
Select picture -> Options -> Scroll down till you find the “ZOOM” button -> Zoom in once or twice.
Now the iPhone
Select picture -> put 2 fingers in pinching motion -> Zoom in any-o-how you like (you have complete control of the zooming in!)
Thats like 4 steps (+ alot of scrolling down) vs 3 steps!
IMHO, people are just too demanding. iPhone is like the best thing on earth so far, be it looks or quality, i think it is GOOD!!

ADD ON:
Just a little conversation between my friend and I sometime ago..
What is an outsole? It is the part of your shoe that has got the most contact with the ground. Some people call it the sole, but there are insoles, midsoles and outsoles. The insole is that flat sponge-like piece that fits inside your shoe, where you directly place your foot on. The midsole is in between the insole and the outsole, with its sides exposed forming a perimeter around your shoe. And back to the outsole again, it can become the most trashed part of your shoe over time.
Technically the outsole provides grip, however shoemakers have a knack for putting in a considerable amount of effort into designing a part of a shoe that hardly gets exposed to the eye. The designs range from a dazzling array of colours, text, graphics and insane tread patterns. They turn out wonderful most of the time and I feel it a pity its only an outsole.
But one thing that really intrigues me is tread patterns. The designs are so limitless that it makes me wonder whether do they fulfill the basic function of a tread pattern at all. Some patterns may be design-driven while others may be function-driven but do they really grip as well as they should?
An NS man enlists into the army like every other guy and goes about the usual routine. However after the end of every training, he will go to his officer and ask, "Sir, where's my paper?". This went on for quite some time and the officer felt that this NS man needed medical attention.
So, he sends him on a series of psychiatric examinations to evaluate his mental state. The NS man passed all the examinations without any problems and was certified both mentally and physically fit for NS. The puzzled officer brought him back to training and his worst fear came true - He was asked that same question again and again, "Sir, where's my paper?". Feeling that something was amiss with this NS man although he managed to be certified fit, he pulled him out of training one day and told him he can go home now. It was the end of his NS.
And so the NS man packed his things and proceeded to the office to receive his certificate for completion of NS. Once outside, he called his friends who were still inside and told them, "This was the paper I was asking for.".

Full Story:
JUNE 23--Meet Jeffrey Barrier. The Ohio man allegedly used a cell phone camera to snap photos of a naked woman at a tanning salon Saturday and then hid the phone in his anus in a bid to thwart police. Standing on a chair, Barrier, 41, took the photos at Cincinnati's Aloha Tanning, where a 35-year-old woman was "in the nude in a tanning room," according to a Hamilton County Municipal Court affidavit. When cops later confronted Barrier, "he kept denying any involvement of the incident" and claimed to not have a camera. However, a second search of the suspect turned up the camera. As noted in a Hamilton County Sheriff's Office report, Barrier "did hide evidence in his anus." Barrier, pictured in the below mug shot, was charged with disorderly conduct for taking the photos and obstructing official business for hampering a police investigation. Barrier, due in court today, is free on $1500 bond. Source
Geez, seriously.
Why would anyone go through so much pain just to get naked pictures of women when the internet is filled with it!
They should charge him for the hassle they have to go through to DIG that phone out of that holy little dark place!
Now I wonder.. was that the "after they dug that phone outta my hldp face" or "before they dug it out from my hldp face and i'm feeling constipated face"
Would the phone still ring inside the hldp? OHOH and the vibrations! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
