Fish Tales

My life in Singapore Taipei. And then some.

On my way home I stopped by the Singapore Blogathon, sponsored by Intel & Lenovo .

A few of my colleagues coordinated the event at TANGS, a popular department store on busy Orchard Road. They arranged for 10 bloggers to do their thing for 24 hours… all while parking themselves in the store display windows for the passers-by to watch. And, the top two bloggers will win a new IdeaPad.

While I watched everyone typing away through the window, a familiar jingle (set to different lyrics) jumped into my head:

How much is that blogger in the window? Click. Click.
The one with the ultra-thin PC.

How much is that blogger in the window? Click. Click.
I do hope that they tweet me.

I must take a visit to their website,
And leave my favorite blogger a note.

If their reply’s really entertaining,
I think they’ll win a new Netbook.

How much is that blogger in the window? Click. Click.
The one with the really tired face.

How much is that blogger in the window? Click. Click.
I do hope they stay awake.

Anyway, it was a fun time. What an innovative idea that generated a bunch of interest!

I don’t know what to make of this. Obnoxious doesn’t quite define what I saw today in the breakroom. I’m not even sure extra obnoxious does.

Robert’s “woody” shirt makes you look at it, all the while making you want to look away. You get stuck somewhere in the middle not knowing what to do.

I’ll be happy if I never see this shirt again.
