			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.swiftworld.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/iluvsgcomic-copy.jpg" rel="lightbox[201]" title="I Love SG Comic"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-202" title="I Love SG Comic" src="http://www.swiftworld.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/iluvsgcomic-copy-300x225.jpg" alt="I Love SG Comic" ref="lightbox" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Free gift, I want. That makes me Singaporean. Ok lah, today talk Singaporean way. Don&#8217;t play play hor. I don&#8217;t know why hor Singapore government want us speak good english leh. You see arh, we speak Singlish because we are Singaporean what right? Why must speak good english then become like those people. British or American issit? Ok lah maybe speak good english first then speak Singlish better bah.<br />
<span id="more-201"></span><br />
You know, in my own opinion hor, i think we also damn what. Err, don&#8217;t know word to say leh. Like you know go hotel overseas hor, then take the tissue, soap etc. As in we pay for it lah but take also don&#8217;t take tissue right. Coffee tea bags, soap maybe good lah. I go swimming use their small small bottle sibei convenient. Also is like don&#8217;t waste right. We touch touch better bring home mah, not good to leave for the next people using right. Not hygenic. Right? Right? Correct lah no doubt.</p>
<p>So how we speak how we act equal to how we become Singaporeans lor. Shameful or not, not really lah. God make all human unique right. So we like take soap from hotel also a unique trait mah. Eh those small bottle soap good hokay, when you go swimming then you understand. Oh I also remember we Singaporean hor pampered too much. How ah? You see Singapore very safe hor, but not 100% lah. Like the saying Low Crime don&#8217;t mean No Crime right. Then, we go overseas also act like very safe like that lor. Want to give money take out all then slowly count then give. Aiya, speaking about money, I love cheap cheap and best best quality. Alamak, those shop hor like LV gucchi  blah blah so expensive. Must bargain one then become cheap. You know those people who scold you when you bargain, don&#8217;t buy from them lor. Aiyo, your goods surely can sell cheaper one what right, you earn less nia.</p>
<p>Talk so much le, I think enough to get free gift liao lah right. usually free gift just need queue up leh, no need write so much one. So anyway I love Singapore and proud to be Singaporean. Really lah no joke, I know of people who doesn&#8217;t like being Singaporean but don&#8217;t talk aobut them. They don&#8217;t like Singapore than still use our language to speak. Boo! So for those who don&#8217;t want be Singaporean hor, learn to speak good English first okay? And for those like me that love or like Singapore, must learn to speak both English and Singlish. Aiyo I don&#8217;t know what talking me man.</p>
<p>Ok lah, enough le. KThxBai. I mean, all the best in 2009 and wish that all of you and me archieve whatever resolutions we have made!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bloggeries &#8211; A synonym for &#8220;Blog Posts&#8221;. Sounds cool? Yeah, maybe. Just learnt about the word at the forums of the site called &#8220;Bloggeries&#8221;. But that aint the main reason why I am talking about it. The owner at Bloggeries is giving away a free IPod Nano. Sounds cool? Hell yeah! The contest requires bloggers to write a bloggerie (blog post) using the synonym &#8220;bloggerie(s)&#8221; instead of the words &#8220;blog post&#8221;. Bloggeries is spelt as B-L-O-G-G-E-R-I-E-S, Bloggeries! Repeat after me: B-L-O-G-G-E-R-I-E-S! Well done.</p>
<p>Oh and I want a IPod Nano because, I just gotten a IPod TOUCH! What a reason. Greed is present in all human beings, can&#8217;t blame no one. When we&#8217;re born, we want to cry. And we don&#8217;t cry just once, but MANY times (because we are greedy. Ok, this is a joke if you didn&#8217;t realise.). Alright that isn&#8217;t related at all. ANYWAYS, my parents gotten me an IPod Touch. How sweet of them. (P.S And I&#8217;m sorry mum for making you cry yesterday. You didn&#8217;t have to. I was just, you know, stating my point and what I truely thought about your actions etc. And I guess it wouldn&#8217;t be too late to Apologise for We Are Family).</p>
<p>You bet my bear is loving it. &#8220;Hey, it is my turn to listen now dammit!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OMY.sg recently hosted the first ever (more hyped up I guess and bigger scaled to be called the first) Singapore Blog Awards. A competition for Singaporean based blogs I guess. There are several categories, 10 to be exact and I participated in one of them; the youth category. Its only criteria was that the blogger must be 16 and below. Bloggers that are not too handsome, not too tall, not too thin are all accepted. Even bloggers that have fetishes over polar bears are welcomed. It states that as long as you are a blogger (Singaporean) 16 or younger, you are eligible.</p>
<p>They contacted those who got through the first selection process by phone. I, being either lucky or a person that is worthy of being selected, had been called up by one of their staff (I think) to inform me about my acceptance into the top, well 10. I guess I felt happy, and excited at the same time upon receiving their call. It was kind of unexpected for them to call. I did not know how the selection process was like, or what or how they chose the top 10 of each category. But nevertheless I am hopeful and anxious to know what the results will be like and for the next few days I&#8217;ll be trying to pull votes in.</p>
<p>I hate my icon given to tag on my blog. Just take a look:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-121" title="omyicon" src="http://www.swiftworld.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/omyicon.jpg" alt="" width="61" height="62" /></p>
<p>Why can&#8217;t I have stuff like:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-122" title="omyicon1" src="http://www.swiftworld.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/omyicon1.jpg" alt="" width="61" height="62" />or <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-123" title="omyicon2" src="http://www.swiftworld.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/omyicon2.jpg" alt="" width="61" height="62" /></p>
<p>Vote me or whatever. My bear wants the phone (Excuses. Heh)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.swiftworld.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/omypolar1.jpg" rel="lightbox[120]" title="omypolar2"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-125" title="omypolar2" src="http://www.swiftworld.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/omypolar2.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-124" title="omypolar1" src="http://www.swiftworld.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/omypolar1.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://sgblogawards.omy.sg/finalists/?blogCat=youth">Youth Category Link</a> (I Play fair. You don&#8217;t have to vote me. Choose the best for yourself. May the best win I guess. *Shrugs*)</p>

<p>Here again I go writing to participate in a contest to win something. You never know how lucky I might be as seen in me winning a $100 just by posting about WordHugger. Really glad that I&#8217;m picked (by luck anyways) and hope that this time I might get an IPod. Today, the site that I am supposed to put up is nothing much related to internet or technology.  This site, is to teach people how to mix drinks and get erm, well better and tastier drinks? Wait no, I think that is it, but it teaches you how to make drinks too. Yeah, I think that is the case. <a href="http://www.mixeddrinkworld.com/" target="_blank">Mixed Drink World</a>, mixeddrinkworld.com, is a site, or perhaps we call it a database? , filled with mixed drink recipes. You follow the instructions given on the site, mix and match, and viola! The result is tastier and more addictive drinks.</p>
<p><span id="more-75"></span></p>
<h2><a href="http://www.mixeddrinkworld.com/Win-A-New-IPOD-Touch-Blog-Contest/article/7" target="_blank">Contest</a></h2>
<p>As always I do not really go around promoting people&#8217;s sites unless I am reviewing it or whatnots. Mixed Drink World is currently hosting a <a href="http://www.mixeddrinkworld.com/Win-A-New-IPOD-Touch-Blog-Contest/article/7" target="_blank">contest to win a new IPod Touch!</a> It is as always a blog contest, you post about the site (an example is this post) and then you get a chance to win! Interesting, easy, simple and rewarding. However, all these contests are based on luck but still, you never know until the results are out. So do not wait any longer, the contest ends on 30<sup>th</sup> November, this year of course, and yea, wish you all the best of luck! (Not, you see it is basic logic that if you do not participate my chance of getting the IPod will be much higher. So, well, there are no rules stating that I cannot discourage people to participate the contest, so yeah. If you have no time, then forget it.)</p>
<h2>My last words</h2>
<p>What are you waiting for? If you have a blog go blog about it for a chance to win, if you are about to host a party or so impress your friends by making the best cocktails ever by looking at their <a href="http://www.mixeddrinkworld.com/" target="_blank">cocktail recipes.</a> And that is about everything I want to say. Bless you and me (with a higher percentage on me) and hope that, well, um, I win?</p>
<p>*While stock(s) last. Stock(s) = 1</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://www.wordhugger.com"><img src="http://www.swiftworld.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/logo.jpg" alt="WordHugger Logo" border="0" height="106" width="264" /></a></p>
<p>http://www.wordhugger.com</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Word Hugger is a Micro Investment website. A micro investment of $60 will earn lots of money back over the ten years that you own your word page for. We offer a 100% money back guarantee, and provide phenomenal support along the way.&#8221;  ~ About Us &#8211; WordHugger</em><br />
Can you comprehend that? No? Alright I shall try to paraphrase it for you so as to enable you to be able to further understand what WordHugger is all about. If you know about the milliondollarwiki, WordHugger is something similar to that but instead of buying a page, you buy a word! On buying a word you get something like wordhugger.com/your-word-here and you can edit it to your liking etc. Get it now?<br />
Here is the catch. When you buy a word for 60 bucks, some of it, to be exact 50% of the profit earned, will be given to <a href="http://www.kiva.org">Kiva</a>. Now, what is Kiva?<br />
<em>&#8220;Kiva is a non profit organization which loans money to entrepreneurs in the developing world. Individuals give Kiva a micro loan of $25 per person they are going to sponsor. Kiva then pools a number of these sponsors together, to collect a sum of $800-1200. Once the funds have been reached, Kiva contacts its micro-finance institutions in different developing countries such as Ghana, Ecuador, Cambodia, and so on, who then loan it to an entrepreneur in that location.&#8221;</em><br />
Sweet? Definitely. Not only are you helping yourself in your business or whatever by buying a word, you&#8217;re also indirectly contributing funds for a good cause!</p>
<p><br/>So now what&#8217;s up with me being all kind and sweet putting up such an advertisement on my site. Well, besides me finding the site and concept behind it rather cool and innovative (Yes I meant what I say. I swear that I speak nothing but the truth), they are currently running a contest to promote themselves. In that case, this post is somewhat like a submission for the contest. Ha, call me money-minded or what-so-ever, I don&#8217;t care. All I want is to win a few bucks for me to spend after my examinations. If you are interested, you can participate too! Here are the details:</p>
<p><span id="more-59"></span><br />
<a href="http://blog.wordhugger.com/wordhugger-contests-win-100-free-words-or-maximum-exposure/">http://blog.wordhugger.com/wordhugger-contests-win-100-free-words-or-maximum-exposure/</a><br />
Go read it yourself. I&#8217;ll just key out the main points:</p>
<p>-          You write a post about wordhugger</p>
<p>-          You tell the webmaster</p>
<p>-          You stand a chance for a $100 dollars</p>
<p>Now for further details, go to that URL I provided. It gives you the guidelines on how your post should be and what it should contain etc. Right, now back to studying if not I&#8217;ll be history for history tomorrow. Ha Ha I know it&#8217;s cold but I&#8217;m really stressed out currently.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone fancy a Ping.sg T-shirt?<br />
The one which we will wear proudly proclaiming ourselves as a proud member of this community? The one we would be wearing together when we attend any event as a Ping.sg group?This idea has been surfaced and not taken off a few times since the launch of Ping.sg 1 year ago. One of the main reasons are due to lack of good T-shirt designs that I managed to find.<br/></p>
<p>This time, let&#8217;s get it done!<br/><br />
Instead of myself scouting for private designers on my own, which may not even know exactly what Ping.sg about, why don&#8217;t we do it the community way this time. Ping.sg do have quite a few of good designers among us, aren&#8217;t we?<br />
I say, let&#8217;s start a Ping.sg T-shirt Design contest!<br />
The winning entry will be getting SGD 100 from Ping.sg. It&#8217;s not a lot, but it is some money I can offer that I have made from Ping.sg (through advertising) minus the costly Singapore hosting fees. Most importantly, you will gain the recognition and respect among Ping.sg&#8217;s community as the official Ping.sg T-Shirt designer, and you can be proud seeing your design worn by local bloggers.<br/><br />
Some requirements:<br />
1. It is a Ping.sg t-shirt, so, yeah the t-shirt has to have Ping.sg&#8217;s logo.<br />
2. Ping.sg&#8217;s URL &#8211; http://ping.sg. We don&#8217;t want ourselves to be mistaken for promoting for a golf equipment company.<br />
3. Nothing else. Feel free to be creative.<br />
Closing Date: 1st October 2007<br />
Do submit your entry right here at this forum, embedded using BBCode for all of us to see. <img src='http://www.swiftworld.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> <br/></p>
