SAR-Vivor Rap

Wah steady ah .. heahea
Phua Chu Kang is here to rap ah..
Listen ah ..

Some say leh, some say lah
Uncle Phua says time to fight SARS
Singaporeans, we have a part to play
to be sars free at the end of the day

Wash your hands whenever you can
Wash with soap then at least got hope
When you get home, get a bath quickly!
Kiasu abit, be safe not SAR-ry!

Try not to travel to Sared countries
Wait a few months lah wait and see
So why you rush to catch that plane?
Use internet lah! Use you brain

Getting protection from this virus
Means getting healthy inside us
Don't work too much until you're sick
Get exercise and get yourself fit

Food nutritions and vitamins
Help you to pass the immunity challenge
Eat your proteins, carbo and fibre
Then you can be a ... SAR-vivor !!!

PCK says,
Dun pray pray! Or this stupid Sars is here to stay.
For we can fight this, you and me.
Help Singapore to be Sars FREE !!!

I'm a SAR-vivor
not gonna give up
I'm a SAR-vivor
I'm gonna make it (4x)

Some say leh, some say lah
Spread kaya, but don't spread SARS !
Singaporeans, we have a part to play
to be sars free at the end of the day

If you're sick don't go to work
Even if your boss.. ahem... is a jerk
Don't be a hero and continue working
Wait the whole company kana quarantine ah!!!

If you're sick see a doctor
See the same one don't be a doc-hopper
Wait at the clinic, stay in one spot
Don't spread your germs in the coffee shop

If you have SARs call 993
Ambulance will come for FREE
To check you up at Tan Tock Seng
Where they know about Sars
Like I know Ah Beng ah

Hey you kana home quarantine
Don't go out except in your dreams
Tahan awhile and cooperate
Don't give everybody a big headache ah!!

PCK says,
Dun pray pray! Or this stupid Sars is here to stay.
For we can fight this, you and me.
Help Singapore to be Sars FREE !!!

SARS SARS baby
Don't kana
SARS SARS baby
Use your brain, Use Your Brain, USE YOUR BRAIN !!! (2X)

Some say leh, some say lah
Keep the place clean and keep out SARS
Singaporeans, we have a part to play
to be sars free at the end of the day

Keep our country clean and green
Because now adays the germs are mean
Don't leave food for stray dogs or cats
Unless you want to keep their germs as pets

Cover your mouth if you cough or sneeze
You think everyone wants to spread your disease ah?
Don't Ka-PUI all over the place
You might as well KAAA-PUI on my face ah !!!

Don't put your tissue all over the shop
Thing almost you use liao, Don't use so much lah
Oei make me sick when people don't care
Oei make you sick when you breathe the air ah...

Even when things are getting better
Don't do things and become a regretter
Think SARS is gone ? YOUR HEAD LAH !!!
But listen to me ah, it'll be okay loh...

PCK says,
Dun pray pray! Or this stupid Sars is here to stay.
For we can fight this, you and me.
Help Singapore to be Sars FREE !!!

Can't SARS me!
A-bah! Hea... One more time ah.. Ahem.. karaoke
Can't SARS me!
Not bad ah.. Heaheahea.. Lai ah.. Let's sing together..
Can't SARS me!
Don't be shy ah! Don't be shy..Lai.. Ready...GO
Can't SARS me!

SARS SARS baby (heahea...Not bad ah.. I can nicer lah)

FINALLY!!! Done with the assignment!!! phew!

Dead tired. Didn't got much rest over the weekend. First, Thinkpad X20 which been using refused to boot up in saturday early morning...4am+ before i got any sleep.

So trying fanatically trying to relive it... hrs but to no avail. Assignment deadline (30/06/2003) is looming closer too. So after hrs meddling with the "dead" pc, gave up. Managed to retrieve and transfer most of the data over to Thinkpad I 1200. Lost quite amt of MP3, digital pics. Sian.

So doubled up to finish my assignment b4 deadline. Thanks to Matthew for the help offered during this extreme period. Thanks pal!

Now the assignment is done, can relax abit abit already.

Miss seeing TWINS at Junction8 on Saturday. Reason??? See Above in Para 1.

Going to "test-drive" the NX80 tomorrow since no more assignment blue.

Wonder who will Fujifilm chose to be in the photo shoot. Mmmmm

Went jalan jalan in Orchard after work. Got some time on hand before some appoinments there. So off to Ngee Ann City, Wisma Atrium, Hereen etc.

Samsung S200 is finally launched. Saw it on display. I can go buy one already.

Met ben @ Cineleisure for dinner. Main objective is to pass him my PS2 memory card so he can do his experiment on his XPort. Quite a crowd over at Cineleisure. "Shin" band (a popular taiwanese band) is holding a mini-concert cum autographing session outside cineleisure. Did manage to see the band in action.

Then off for the "PC Show" debrief. Do you knew that lvl 8 of cineleisure is NUSS Orchard Guild house??? I don't. That's until today. Yes, we held the debrief of the PCShow cum drinking-session over there. Great place for F&B. The atmosphere is pretty good too. Got Restuarant, bar, Karaoke, Gym, jacuzzi, jackpot room... etc.
Membership of NUSS : $5000 (one time payment, membership non-transferable), plus mthly subscription fee.
Nah... I'm not a member. Boss is.

2nd day at the workshop was much better. Interesting topic on building secure web/application for windows 2003. Some hacking technique was taught/discussed/tried out.

Pretty nice view from the 18th floor of Central Plaza. Can see the entire CBD, the Port, the Sea.

Arrowed to organise a debriefing-cum-drinking session for the PCShow this friday. Hahahaha... The promoters must be feeling weird. Actually already got some feedback liao. How come got debrief one??? and what got they/CK up their sleeves??? Sinister??? Hahahaha... not my idea one lah. I just followed instructions from boss lah.

1st day at the Windows 2003 Server cum .NET Training Workshop. Learn alot of new stuffs... but some of the stuffs just totally confused me. Tough! As I got not much prior experiences. And the fact that I'm felt sleepy (esp. after lunch and refreshments) throughout the whole training, doesn't helps. 9am to 6pm @ Central Plaza (Tiong Bahru). Intense.

Think getting the NX70V rather than the upcoming NX73 or NX80. Because the differences aren't that great. Plus NX70V cheaper and got DocumentToGo installed.

NEL(North-East Line) MRT will be opening this week, 20th June 2003. Aldran, When u come back from aust, There's train to ur Potong Pasir liao.

Wah.. I must go someday too. I think I'll already been there if i took up the degree program from Uni of Wales instead. Hahaha... Regrets...

I'm actually mad enough to queues 3 ~ 4 hours alone, in rain to catch a sight of the 3 trophies (UEFA Cup, FA Cup, League Cup) when Liverpool bought them here a couple (3???) of years back. (Now... where's the photo I took with the trophies???) Also queuing to enter the stadium for their match 4 hrs earlier. Hahaha... Thoses where the days. I think I don't have the energy to do all those anymore.

WOW!!! Animatrix is super good! Worth the time/energy to d/l it. Finished half of it. Returning to it later. The different anime styles used in each side story are all so gorgeous. TOP class drawing/3d animation. Highly recommended. P.S: I have yet watch Matrix and Matrix: Reloaded.

TV Advert preview cancelled. (My fault???)

Dying see how waimun turn out like in the advert. hahahaha

Couldn't update yesterday as Blogger is down.

Phew! The PC Show ended finally yesterday. Have to stay behind to dismantle and pack up our items. Dead Tired. The organiser announced that there 300000+ (forgot the actual figure) visits, doubled last year record. I'm a little skeptical.

Didn't bought anything from the show. Well, should have bought the dirt cheap $8 USB hub and the Creative $99 digital music external usb sound. nvm. next time then.

Trapped in a jam again. A Super Bus broke down in the middle of the road. Friend commented than it seem I always kanna these type of mishape one...hahaha

Date at Bugis (again). Relax and have fun.

Some shopping around. Clothes/cosmetics (not me lah). The Bossini kids' "Finding Nemo" tee is cute. Friend bought it as a bday present for her jap friend's kawaii daughter. Sales all around. GSS mah.

Still trying to find the japanese song waimun wanted... sigh... translated title: "Tsukimi Sou no Hana"

My beloved LFC bought Fulham Irish International full back Finnan for 3.5million pounds. wah liew

Ben, Bert and me are pondering whether to go ahead and "throw" our $$$ on the Sony Cile NX70.

It's $799 (including GST) btw. Did not include the cost of MemoryStick, Casing and Screen Protector. Sony's stuff are always so expensive. Palm Zire 71 only cost $528 leh.

The Singtel's Dial-a-coke scheme really is useful. Used it once again to purchase drink from vending machine when i don't have enough spare changes.

Didn't knew until now that in brazilian football got such interesting practice.

"In Brazil. The ref carries a little white-paint spray can and marks the spot where the kick is to be taken from. He then marches off the ten yards and sprays a line where the wall must be. Anyone who doesn't move to behind that line gets carded. Simple."

WAH LIEW!!! Hollywood gonna make a Dragonball movie.

No... not anime... but using real actors!??!?!?!?! Hope the movie doesn't suck like Street Fighter the Movie. Dragonball is probably the 1st manga that I read, and from there where i developed the hobbies of reading manga and drawing.

Quote: FOX is shooting for a PG-13 rating and a running time of somewhere between 3 to 4 hours. They are hoping for the DBZ movie saga to be 4 episodes long (4 movies). Starting in The Saiyan Saga, The Frieza Saga, The Android/Cell Saga, and the Majin Buu Saga.
George Lucas' CGI company ILM has signed a contract to do the special effects. Some sad news, due to casting and scheduling difficulties, filming that was set to begin real soon has been put off until Summer 2004. The original Release Date. Once the movie is finished filming and all post-production effects are added in, this movie may not be out until well into 2005.

As of right now there is no definite title. The most obvious choice would be plain "DragonBall Z", but FOX is also leaning toward "DragonBall Z: Unlimited" or "DragonBall Z: Fight For Man Kind."

Rumoured that Cameron Diaz will be cast as

Android #18, Wesley Snipes as

Piccolo and Leonardo DiCaprio as

Trunks. Hahahaha....
