Remember in our first episode of Twitter Wars, we described the war between Mr Cheo, a YPAP member and a particular Rocksontan?
http://therealfakentu.blogspot.com/2011/02/twitter-wars.html
For a blogger and a tweeter who only blogs and tweets once in a while, he has definitely claimed his scalp of Mr Cheo. But this time, he goes on this time to the new PAP candidate, Tin Pei Ling.

We have hit our 1000 followers mark!
Okay, actually we hit 1000 followers on twitter few days back, but we have been swamped by too much workload, and backlog of work that we hadn't had the time to write, so, our apologies there :)
But our many thanks to all our fans on twitter and facebook, especially for all the follows and RTs, that helped bump us to the position we are today. We started off just early last december, with the purpose of ________________________ and ______________________ (Tweet me in private if you want to hear my reasons, not something to state here HAHA) and throughout these months, i made awesome friends via twitter, such @Merylzhanyee, @Kickthatmo, @cchockolate, @museoramuse, and of course people who i STILL don't know, like @fakeMOE and @realFASS.
So, to many many more years of rubbish on twitter! (but in fact, I'll be graduating in summer 2012, so searching for a successor would be a pressing issue. soon. )

Did you choose business as your major?
After much buzz about why engineers, lets move on to about business graduates.
In NBS, the business undergraduate has been over glorified. Ties, blazers and tailored shirts may make one look smart, but what do they mean?
Clothing/regulations Symbolism
Necktie Leash
Metallic watch Handcuffs
Business cards Monkey identification number
Tight leather shoes Leg irons
Cubicles Money cages
Styrofoam Starbucks cups Pet dishes
Commission-linked salary Extra peanuts
(PS btw weeks back, a friend of mine wanted to know about why we thought bankers made good partners, here's our reason: They know the penalty for early, and premature withdrawal. So you can bet they can give quality sex.)

Singaporeans In Conversation
I have having a casual conversation with a friend, who organised Singaporeans In Conversation 2010, (and is also helping out for this year's) Okay, Singaporeans In Conversation is a intimate 2 to 3 hours' dialogue session with some big shot (could be from the political, business, or even social networking scene) on a political issue.
Last year, they invited a Government minister for the dialogue:
Singaporeans In(C) (abbrev. SGin(C)) is a student-led conference initiated by the United Kingdom Singapore Students’ Council and Singaporean undergraduates studying in Singapore, the United States and China.
So its a dialogue (Which usually means all talk no action) which aims to address the issues and concerns of young Singaporeans. Dr Vivian Balakrishnan was invited last year, and this year the organising committee were considereing prominent people like Mr Brown, (or even The Voice of NTU), and even influential people in social enterprises and social networks.
The organizing committee is short of a Co-Chair and a Publicity Head, and of course, minions to work in rank-and-file positions, such as publicity, logistics, etc. Well, if you are interested in being part of this show, grab some events to fluff up your resume or even gain some valuable experience, do drop me an email, and I'll link you up with the relevant people! Email me at Voice.of.NTU@gmail.com

Steven who?
Just a few days ago, I was having a casual conversation with an coursemate (who knows my identity) and knowing I was particularly bitchy (Yes if you haven realised by now) she requested me to bitch tweet about a particular Steven Limp. The Steven Limp which has caused the twitterverse to be bustling with activity. As i scrolled through my home feed, I realized it was in particular respond to him, a 35 yo guy, dating a 16yo girl. And in spite of all these negative criticism and contempt about him, Steven Limp especially seemed to enjoy the attention he was given.
I seriously, have never heard of this Steven guy, and only through the conversation with my coursemate, did i realise he was dating a 16yo girl, participated in the first Singapore Idle in only underwear or something, and other negative stuff about him.
I have seriously never heard of this Steven bugger before, and this is my response to him, and let me quote Mr Cheo, the YPAP member (If you have forgotten about him, please read Twitter Wars Part 1: http://therealfakentu.blogspot.com/2011/02/twitter-wars.html)
In Singapore, some people crave for attention and popularity. Well, for those who suck and fail to get popular, may attempt to create attention for themselves via negative controversy. And this is what this bugger is doing. He tried to make himself popular, by creating a big hoo-ha, for himself. Can't get him self popular? No problem. Appear in Singapore Idle only in underwear. Date a 16yo girl. Act retarded and respond to every single criticism tweet. That is it, he is basking in negative limlight. And he seems to like it.
Consider a theoratical example, imagine you are a girl, walking along a deserted stretch of road, and suddenly a man wearing nothing but a trench coat, flashes to you. How would you react? If you scream, cover your eyes and then run off, the flasher gets even more sexcited, and he derives his perverse satisfaction from flashing his privates to young girls. So what would be best? I quote Mr Cheo again "Oh what, no body gives a fuck" that's it. Just walk straight on. Ignore the flasher. Deprive him of such a satisfaction of seeing your fear.
That's it, if you loathe a person with such contempt, just ignore him, like Mr Cheo says "No body gives a fuck" For people like Steven Limp and similar flashers they derive their attention from negative limelight, and by piling and creating more controversy for him, gives him EVEN more attention. Look at the number of followers he has on his twitter, 300 over?
Similar to Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. If you don't like them, saying that they can't sing, are still undergoing puberty, its fine. Do not create anti-Miley nor anti-Bieber controversy, au contrary, you are even creating more limelight for them and even help Miley and Bieber fans gel together.
Its just like this pesedo Valentine's Day break up video, whereby a guy is seen by his girlfriend dating another girl on valentines day. The girlfriend then continues to make a fuss about the guy reusing plastic bottle.
Yes, i believe it was a Poly project, to create awareness of pastic bottles actually being harmful if reused. And while viewers scolded the guy for being heartless, and some others slammed the video for being a fucking fake video; it attracted a lot of hits. Similarly, the makers of the youtube vid, used such negative controversy, to attract attention for their video, and for their project.
These people in life, like Steven Limp, flashers, and the makers of the above mentioned youtube vid, try to get themselves popular via controversy and negative limelight. And the more you may loathe them, the best way to do so is not by criticizing them, but to starve them off of any attention. Do not bother criticizing, do not bother insulting them. These people bask in criticism and are loving the attention you give them.
Remember what Mr Cheo said, "I figure who the fuck are you is the bigger question? Oh wait no body gives a fuck, so don't bother answering."
And whatever you do Steven Limp, is not of my problem. You can date a 16 yo girl, or 61 yo girl, is none of my problem. And like your name, may you go limp in where it matters to you.
PS: And by creating this blogpost, i have already inadvertently created attention for him. Oh well, but my purpose was to bitch and educate the general public :)

Twitter wars - Part 2
Few weeks ago, we reported on the war on twitter:
http://therealfakentu.blogspot.com/2011/02/twitter-wars.html
This time round, we got our hands on it. Remember this?
We shot back:
Sometimes, you just need a little bitchiness:

Why did the chicken cross the road?
There's this little joke:
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A: To get over to the other side!
Would you argue with the answer?
"Are you sterotyping chickens? one chicken crossing the road doesn't mean that all the chickens are crossing the road!"
Definitely you won't argue much with humour. But some people actually did:

http://therealfakentu.blogspot.com/2011/02/girls-get-yourself-engineer-as-ideal.html
"You being a business student, I respect your point of view. You are talking in terms of looks, being able to talk to them and what would their job titles look like. Previous post was talking about the future aspects, what advantages do you get from having an engineer as a boyfriend. I do not even see a point of you posting this in the first place. Everything you are talking here are stereotypes."
"Most study engineering but are not engineers; we are just being trained that way, way back when we are being intensely drilled on Mathematics and Science during our youth. People just continue doing what they have been taught and the only they know."
"27 year old engineer will be having a respectable job, enough money to buy a car, a house, invest and get married? Which country is the author from?
Average Singaporean MALE university freshgrads are 25 years old, some even 26-27 if they had polytechnic education prior to university. 2 years can probably get you enough money to buy a car, a house, invest and get married in Libya probably, not in Singapore.
you need at least FOUR years to get to become a professional engineer under the Professional Engineering Act (Chapter 253) Sect. 15....."
"2)What on earth is this. Have you even talked to an engineering student before? Did all of them talked to you regarding all of the above or did you just make it up? Perhaps too much movies and shows made you think engineers only talk things which are related to themselves."
dudes.. like seriously?
(we'll be doing a blogpost on why bankers make good partners next week so please DON'T SHOOT ME AGAIN)
(Nope, we aren't asking for comments this time :) )
