White-chans Lah! 96 - I'll fight you till death!



I'm a very contented worker with little ambition. Just give me a reasonable pay raise every year and I'm cool with staying in my current role till it is time to retire. But there are always people around me who are super ambitious and do whatever it takes to reach for the sky. I don't really care for these people, but it can get kinda irritating when they have the illusion that I'm fighting with them for recognition and try to read too much into my every random action. I could try to explain myself, but nah, I'll rather spend my time thinking of idea for my next comic strip!

White-chans Lah! Valentine's Day Special - Who do you want to spend Valentine's Day with?



I hope nobody will ever has his/her girlfriend/boyfriend breaking up with him/her on Valentine's Day. If this happens, either your girlfriend/boyfriend really hates you, maybe because you slept with her/his best friend, or because they want to save on Valentine's Day gift.

White-chans Lah! Valentine's Day Special - Ai won food today!



Finally White-chan Lil One is more interested in Ai than her food. Is this a new love blossoming? But wait... is a Mouse-Sheep relationship a taboo?

White-chans Lah! Valentine's Day Special - It has to be a table for two



You know what sucks about not having a partner on the V Day? You can't go to your regular restaurant and order your regular meal because they're only offering that ripped-off Valentine's Day Special for dinner. And even if you want to try that ripped-off menu, you can't because you can't get a table.

White-chans Lah! 87 - Sir, we're offering you a free credit card!



I don't mind getting calls from telemarketers. Okay they ARE irritating, but they need to make a living too. What I do mind are telemarketers that don't know the meaning of "No I'm not interested".

White-chans Lah! 86 - Can you swear this news is true?



I've already stopped reading the newspapers, or at least the hard-copy type. The news get to me first via Twitter and Facebook.

White-chans Lah! 85 - The tale of two Facebook accounts



I do know some people who maintain two Facebook account, one for personal and one for business. But what's more interesting is people who maintain multiple Facebook accounts so that they can send themselves "gifts" to complete tasks on Facebook social games.

White-chans Lah! 84 - Adding Boss on Facebook



I believe there must be people out there who purposely add their bosses on Facebook, then like all their photos and share all their stories. The digital age of carrying balls.

White-chans Lah! 83 - Code Red! Boss is on Facebook!



I've heard so much about some people being fired because of what they post on their Facebook accounts. And I thought it is common sense that you shouldn't add your boss and "we're-not-friends" colleagues on Facebook.

Oh BTW if the the poster looks familiar, that's because you might have watched this show before... and yes, I drew exactly the same cards!

Forget about those candies, Tetris is back!



Yup, Tetris is back and better! It is now called Tetris Blitz and the gameplay is looking familiar but making you play differently at the same time!



You still have to fill in the gaps from the falling shapes, but instead of using the arrow keys like you did on the black and white old school console, you can now tap the shape to make it go exactly where you want. Yup, in a way, this has made the game easier, but wait... now you need to finish the game in 2 minutes! YES! You can't take your own sweet time to complete a game anymore! Kan cheong sia!



However there is one new Blitz introduced to the Tetris. You can now use Power-ups to help you in the game, much like how you used them in the Bejeweled Blitz. They'll appear in the game as usual shapes but if you clear any line that contains a Power-up, you get assistance like getting rid of 3 lines (Laser), shifting everything to the left (Magnet) or even add some little tiny bit of extra time (Time Shift).



And then they also have the Finishers to help you get even more bonus points at the end of a game. But these Finishers are not cheap hor! So either you empty your coins to get them, or get them for free if you're lucky in the Spins. VERY lucky.



Mind you, this time they didn't relaunch this new Tetris Blitz for you to fill the waiting time in your life, like waiting for that where-the-hell-is-it bus or doing your number two. They want you to keep playing and they want you to be competitive. That's why there is a leadership board for you to compete with your friends on Facebook! Har! But even if that stupid Ah Seng is leading today, don't despair as there is always a tomorrow! Really! The leadership board is cleared and back to zero after a week, so you might win Ah Seng next week! Ganbatte!

So go get your free copy of Tetris Blitz now and go retro again!

White-chans Lah! 82 - Where has the Welfare Fund gone to?



I'm really grateful that in all the companies that I've worked in, we have adequate welfare fund to provide food and drinks, and even regular activities for us to relax. In my current company, we've got a good coffee machine that provides us with lattes and espressos, there're also English tea, Chinese tea, green tea, Milo, cereals, and even two vending machine with discounted can drinks! There is a constant supply of Kong Guan biscuits to keep us fed too! Gosh this is one of the reason why I'm still here...

White-chans Lah! 81 - The beauty of acronyms



Sometimes we use so many acronyms that what we say don't make sense anymore. Like, how will I know that when you said "He's oooh!", you were not expressing your admiration, but actually meant that he is Out Of Office?

White-chans Lah! 80 - Where is the delivery man?



There is a Mac at the mall next to my flat, and in the middle of every night, I could hear the delivery men speeding off to deliver supper. But how can you even eat burger and fries for supper?! How do you sleep with such a bloated stomach?! But then again, I know there're people who eat curry rice for supper...

Who are the heroes in the 60s movies?

六十年代的时候,大家在看什么武侠片?



如来神掌之萬佛朝宗再現江湖
 


At that time, the Special Effects in this film was ahead of times. Check out the finale at 4:22!
还在看黑白电视的那个时候,这部片子的特效是算是很先进的喔!快转到4:22去看万佛朝宗吧!

金燕子
 


Zheng Pei Pei was the Angelina Jolie at that time. And in this show, they have cast her together with two famous dudes at that time to tell a Kung Fu love story. Recipe for a best seller!
郑佩佩是那个时候最红的武打女明星,再加上两个同样出名的帅哥,这部戏怎能不卖座?而且还特地到日本拍摄咯!

独臂刀之独臂刀王
 


The One-armed Swordsman series was the ultimate not-safe-for-kids movies at that time, with slashing and blood going everywhere. Some say it was more bloody than Kill Bill. Hands down.
张彻导演的独臂刀使得王羽成为第一位武侠巨星,其后还延伸了多部续集。而他的武侠片的特点除了官方说的“具有紧张剧情及紧凑镜头”,就是血腥!血腥!再血腥!

黃飛鴻擂台爭霸戰
 


The very original Wong Fei Hong. There might be fighting overdose but these are real kung fu! Well, at least for the two main characters!
由关德兴和石坚主演的原装黄飞鸿!打斗场面是久了点,但人家可是真功夫哦!

And do you know what will make the White-chans heroes?

Want to improve English? Just play Scrabble lah!



No. You can't use any of those Singlish words in the Scrabble. At least not until someone created a new Singlish edition for Scrabble.

SCRABBLE Free is now free for download on iPad, iPhone and Android phones. Once downloaded, you can choose to create an EA Origin account or simply use your Facebook account to pester your friends to play with you. Which makes it more fun than playing with the computer, because you can always choose to play with your weaker friends to make yourself feel good. But that also means you can't continue with the game until your friend is done with his/her turn. So during these time, the only thing you can do is to Skype/Whatsapp/Line Chat/sms/call them/go to their house to wake up them up. Ok lah, there is still one way to speed up the game lah. Like everything else in life like budget airlines, you can always pay to upgrade. So yes, you can pay to upgrade to Single Player mode to play with computer, and also to get rid of all those ads.



There is this feature called "Teacher" that is quite interesting. The Teacher will slap you to tell you how you should have scored more points. For example, after I've happily put "GOD" and ended my turn, pressing the "Teacher" icon will have the Teacher mocking me "Ahdoy! Why you didn't put 'Audit' to get 32 points instead? See! Never study hard lah! English so bad!".



There is also a Dictionary in the game that helps you to check your spelling. No. Unlike your Primary school teacher, it doesn't tell you the meaning of the words. It only tells you whether the words exist or not. But still, it can be quite helpful.

So go download your free copy now and do your part for the "Speak Good English" movement!

White-chans Lah! 79 - Lots of great minds that think alike



I've never used those car covers before. Without the cover, I'm already forgetful enough to have problem finding my car. Somebody will definitely call the cops when they see me looking inside every covered car in the carpark...
