Terence's List of Everything 2005 (Part 1)
Top 10 Names:
10. Joscelin Yeo
Our "national treasure" of the aquatic arena has won 40 gold medals over her participation in seven South-East Asian Games. She definitely deserves this recognition.
9. Harry Potter
Believe it or not, during the weekends when Harry Potter books were released, the attendance of children at hospital emergency departments dropped by almost half.
The explanation? Books are a lot less dangerous than skateboards and other outdoor crazes that involve "horizontal velocity, height, wheels or sharp edges".
But before you decide to purchase the entire Harry Potter series for your hyperactive child, read on. Researchers said although more book reading might be a useful way to combat childhood accidents but that there might be a downside to less activity. Source: The Australian News
Like eating a Big Mac or munching furiously on Lays potato chips while reading Harry Potter is, not at all, safe. Think about coronary heart diseases, diabetes and high blood pressure.
But still, we ought to give Potter some credit for his magical ability to prevent the children from an incised cut or a greenstick fracture.
8. Nitta Sayuri (aka Zhang ZiYi, or ZiYi Zhang as how she calls herself in the Stataes)
This film apparently proves to the whole world that PRC Chinese are so ignorant. Geishas are NOT prostitutes! They do have sex with their clients, once in a blue moon that is, but that's not their main job. So, please stop assuming that Zhang's role in the movie is a prostitute being riden on by another Japanese actor. After all, it's only another Hollywood blockbuster.
And no, by protesting and marching and making a hell lot of noise on the World Wide Web doesn't show us how nationalistic you are. You are just making a fool of yourself and the entire Chinese population around the world.
7. Kelvin Tan 陈伟联
Our local version of Stevie Wonder! This shows that Singaporeans are not superficial creatures like the Taiwanese. We don't judge anyone by their looks. Credit goes to our meritocratic system, I guess. (Well, not that Kelvin's singing is exceptionally brilliant. It's brilliant, but not exceptionally)
Or, it also shows that Singaporeans are compassionate towards the less-fortunate or the disabled. Who says we are a bunch of cold-blooded creature? There's a glimpse of warmth in Singapore after all.
6. George W. Bush
The man who claims that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction (WMDs).
The same man who launch "Operation of Iraqi Liberation", which coincidentally or ironically has its initials being spelt as "OIL", though Bush has once and again claimed that the purpose of the war to is destroy any WMDs found.
Then, this man changed the objective of the war to: to free the people of Iraq from oppression and autocractic rule. Democracy is to be revived in Iraq but no WMDs was ever retrieved.
Now, my dear Bush has confessed that he received bad intelligence. Oh man, even all mighty hegemonic America can obtain bad intelligence, what about other countries which are supposed to look up to Uncle Sam?
But fret not! Our dear Bush has managed to persuade the people that although bad information was received, the war was still justfiable! We liberated the Iraqi people! Three cheers!
I can't believe America would buy this crap.
5. Katrina
This bitch has screwed the people of New Orleans. Screwed left and right, up and down, and inside out.
Their lives have been turned upside down, metaphorically and literally.
I guess it's the Holy One's answer to Bush misdeeds done all over the world.
So, moral of the story: stop being such a kaypoh in Iraq and sign that damn Kyoto Protocol, little bastard!
4. T.T. Durai
Need I say more?
3. Susan Long
All thanks to this senior journalist that we are now able to know what horrible things Durai has done with our contributions. Bravo, Susan!
2. KPMG
All thanks to this audit firm that we now know in detail how did Durai splurge and squander our money and how he was lavish with extravagance. Only 10% of our donations goes to the needy? That is enough for him to be banished to hell.
1. Mrs Goh Chok Tong
$600,000 salary per year for a man,who runs a charitable organisation that manages millions of dollars, is peanuts?
Mrs. Goh had redefined the meaning of the word "peanuts".
Perhaps she used a different dictionary from normal citizens like you and I.
P.S. T.T. Durai's full name, in case you didn't know, is Thambirajah Tharmadurai, which ironically, means "a charitable man" in Tamil. Source: Wikipedia
