Happy Ice Cream Month! This would be the list for you if you're a sweet tooth, and need a list you can keep for you to refer to whenever your sweet tooth acts up.

Malaysia to start imposing tourism tax from August. What?!

Image
TL;DR? Here's a summary of the announcement that was posted on the Royal Malaysian Customs Department this morning. Taxes starting from RM2.50 (S$0.80) for non-rated accommodations and up to RM20 (S$6.50) at a five-star accommodation No, it's not per person. It will be charged at per room, per night. While it might not cost that much to us Singaporeans thanks to the currency rate, it is still a little annoying that there's an extra fee to be paid. Tax will be collected from all types of premises used as accommodation for tourists, except home stay and Kampung Stay registered under the Ministry  Premises with fewer than 10 rooms are said to be exempted as well. Call the hotels, "Hello, how many rooms have you got?" We don't know what this means for you but for us, we will definitely continue our travels regardless of what issues that may hinder us. Don't let the small things bring you down, there's so much more to see on your trav...

Angry, tensed, feeling meh? It's legal to break everything in this room.

Image
We know things can get frustrating each day. You wake up, get dressed, feeling empty, having to face commuters traveling the same way as you in the bus or MRT, get to work or school, and then what happens? You repeat that. Everyday.  You can't go out for a vacation too soon. Deadlines to meet. You get more upset. But what if we tell you that you can go to this particular place to break things up? Vent out everything. Legally. Image courtesy of The Fragment Room The Fragment Room allows you to do that. Spend 30 minutes to 1 hour in a room, provided with a set of safety gear, your tool of choice (baseball bat, sledgehammer or even a Supreme crowbar), and a crate full of breakables like glass, electronic appliances, and whatnot. Mad at an ex or your boss? Bring your own things to break in the room. Your choice.  I mage courtesy of The Fragment Room Just like playing real life Fruit Ninja (remember when you go on Zen mode just to endlessly cut frui...

WRONGLY EXPOSED: The Couple that Pushed the Old Man at the Hawker center

Image
YOUNG LADY WRONGLY ACCUSED BY KUANYEWISM - DEFAMATION CHARGE ON THE WAY? When there is a sale, Singapore will jump on it. When someone is being disrespectful as a Singaporean, we would jump on it quicker. I am sure everyone have seen the video of a young couple treating this old gentlemen poorly, as shown below: At times like this, it is amazing how Singaporeans band together and keep the kampung spirit alive. But, what if someone is wrongly accused? This is what happened to Miss Cherry Tan, the poor girl who is a student in SIT instead of the UOB employee that was made out. Also, Miss Cherry Tan's boyfriend is currently in Taiwan, which is impossible for him to be popping in the video anytime.  These fake news spread by Kuanyewism and Ang Tock Sheng has caused this young student much distress, after being bullied by netizens online. Miss Tan's friends and family has been trying to clear her name as it is ridiculous to blame someone without factual...
