Because lolis are now mainstream.

The Brazilians were right though.
"Morde es #1."
My curiosity was really piqued by the 300+ pageviews from the other day, so today I checked the pageviews again.
Almost 600!!!
What on earth is happening??!??!
Someone really popular must have linked my blog to his/her website or something!
Also, 13 people were tricked into coming to my blog today with the impression that I have Witcher 2 porn here.
Sorry gentlemen, but this blog is perfectly SFW.
Another thing is, even if the increase is caused by normal red-blooded male gamers searching for Triss's boobies, it still doesn't account for the entire difference.
There were only 13 of such people versus a total increase of over 400 pageviews.
They couldn't have hit F5 that many times. 400 / 13 is roughly 30.
On a more negative note, there has been a marked increase in spam comments here too. Just the other day I checked the comments tab and found as many spam comments there as I'd usually find in 2 months. It's only halfway through the month!
Okay, so I only check that tab randomly but I think I haven't touched it since last month. Hence I'd say the spam is from the last 20 days or so.
Ants. This is a neverending story.
They're back and they're here to steal mouth wash from me again.
Seriously, they don't go to anywhere else in particular other than the few exploring ants that wander in random directions.
But every night since two nights ago I've had to rinse the bottle of mouth wash under the tap.
Goddamn ants with great oral hygiene!
I feel like eating durians but apparently I've got to wait till next month. Been seeing so many pics of durians and there's even a promotion for a durian tour in Malaysia.
An all-you-can-eat durian buffet plus return coach journey.
Not interested in going to Malaysia but that buffet... is just so tempting.
Too bad the promotion is over now.
But I still feel like buying durians.
Got to watch out for some the next time I go to the market.
And ask my bro if his gf hates the smell.
Today, I noticed a trend: I've been losing all the time ever since I began to play LoL on my laptop.
And there is a noticeable lag too, even though I've lowered all the settings to the minimum. In fact there have been many occasions when I appear to just get close to the enemies then turn back, when the fact is I did hit the hotkey for one ability but the lag in the laptop caused it to be skipped.
So far, I've only won once out of the 4-5 games I've played on this laptop.
Sat
Lemongrass tea. I haz sum.
Followed the instructions at the back exactly. Boiled 8oz of water and poured it into a cup with 1 teaspoon of the dried lemongrass.
Btw I have no idea why it's called "lemongrass" when it smells nothing like lemon. Probably the same reason why some people say that snake tastes like chicken. Who knows?
And it's organic too!
I'm not actually into this "organic" fad. This was actually a gift (and sample) to my mum from a family friend. Used to be a distant relative but they got divorced.
She was a bank manager back when we first came to Singapore but she's now the owner of a shop selling this sort of healthy stuff.
The smell. Not exactly a pleasant one to me. Reminds me of the times when I bite into spices that were meant to improve the taste of the dishes I was eating. Rarely have such occasions been pleasant. Seriously, bite into a non-dried star anise if you haven't tried it before.
Never really liked lemongrass even in food.
Still, it's better than an absence of taste I guess.
Better than drinking tap water.
I can play Yoot Tower on this laptop!!
So Yoot Tower can't be saved on a 64-bit Vista but works just fine on a 32-bit one.
Fun.
I'm currently having twin towers, one for pure offices and the other for mostly hotels and a couple of shops. Shops suck. This game is biased against malls, I guess.
It's a great game because it automatically mutes itself when I open another programme in front, so I can let it run in the background and make money without me watching while I do other stuff.
...
Triple towers!!! One for offices, one for hotels and another very short one for a mall. Getting expensive due to the extra Security and stuff, but it's neater.
:3
Watched some LA Noire on Vidyavidya.
The facial expressions were AMAZING! It's almost as if they had actors act out everything and pasted the videos of their faces onto the models in the game.
And I said "actors" because I recognized the mind-reading guy from Heroes in the game, so I wouldn't be surprised if the others were also actors, albeit lesser known ones.
This is getting so close to an interactive movie.
So apparently, my guess was right. In fact they used 32 cameras to record the faces as they act out the scenes.
L.A. Noire is also notable for using Lightsprint's real-time global illumination technology, as well as Depth Analysis's newly developed technology for the film and video game industries called MotionScan, where actors are recorded by 32 surrounding cameras to capture facial expressions from every angle.
That's a lot of effort.
Too bad it's not released on the PC platform.
So one of the MPs was "shocked" to find out that buses have been arriving late. It's fake and we all know it.
Anyone who takes buses know that during peak hours, buses frequently take very long to arrive, but when they do, they come in droves.
This problem is usually very obvious when we play transport simulation games like Cities In Motion, and the thing is, I don't know how that can be solved. People can't know everything, right?
The problem lies in the fact that in the buses' routes, there are only some stops that have unusually high numbers of passengers. Buses tend to get stuck at them waiting for people to board and alight. If there are multiple of such stops consecutively like in NTU at Boon Lay, it is unavoidable that buses stick together after a while despite their best efforts to leave the initial terminal at their proper schedules.
Some bus drivers have resorted to skipping such a stop when another bus of the same route is already there. This is done so that the buses don't all arrive at the same time at the next stop. The catch is that the bus already there may not be able to take in everyone.
Therefore the only way the MP can be really "shocked" is if he has never heard of such a problem before, in which case that is sad because it implies that he is no longer aware of the common problems plaguing the lives of average Singaporeans.
I'm not even going to discuss the obvious implication that MPs, their friends and their families do not take buses at all.
As for Tharman's comment that "expectations are high", they are only as high as the salaries the Ministers are commanding.
He said, "Expectations are high and we've got to try to make sure that, coming out of this whole process, we don't fall into one of two situations."
"One is to end up falling flat without being able to deliver much change. Two, trying to deliver change just for the sake of being popular and trying to please as many people as possible."
You mean the removal of certain Ministers are not due to the latter?
I mean, wasn't one Minister saying HDB flats were "affordable"? If he was right, why remove him for doing such a great job at keeping HDB prices "affordable"?
Speaking of him, why is he saying now that he's taking responsibility for the high prices?
So are they expensive or are they affordable?
The latter is probably right and they're "affordable" because it was said by a Minister while the former was expressed by a mere MP.
I hope I'm not going to get arrested for the blatant lack of doublethink here.
I'm sorry for sounding a little annoyed but with that salary the Ministers are commanding compared to the amount of land this government controls, failure is simply not an option, however you want to argue that this salary is perfectly fair.
It's not like they're relying completely on their political roles alone for their income.
Furthermore, I'm curious as to why nobody in the government has revealed their annual taxable income like Obama did.
