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...
