She has this article that I thought is quite interesting.
Link
She wrote about how she had a sudden impulse to make a wish.神啊!愿良心被狗狗吃掉的人,赶快让狗狗把他的良心吐出来,人生很长,千万别让更多的人看出他的良心被狗狗吃掉了!
Wa! What kind of person makes this kind of wish?
When I read the 1st part of it, I thought she's going to say神啊!愿良心被狗狗吃掉的人,赶快让狗狗把他的整个人也吃完。别让他留在世上害人了!
I thought it's a vicious wish to be a 1st wish. Could someone have crossed her at that time? Turns out I am wrong. The wish turns out to be very noble and correct. I wonder if it's her real wish or some PR works.

Just Follow Law is Jack Neo's latest movie. As with his past movies, he likes to shoot movies with a theme that relates and pokes fun at an average Singaporean. This time, his got his sights at Singaporean's obsession with following the rules.
I've read a few reviews of this movie in the internet. It was mostly bad. It was criticised as lack of depth and focus. Maybe they are right. But I thought the point they are trying to bring across is clear enough, is funny enough, is good enough. Maybe they were trying to convey too many points until you can't really tell which is the main point they want to say. Nevertheless, I had a good laugh.
Much has been said about Singaporean's attitude with following the rules. We are unwilling to do things that did not specify in the rule book that we can do it. We are not willing to to challenge ourselves in doing high risk stuff for higher results. We are too prone to sacrifising quality for stability.
We also live in our own world too much. Most of us would have complained about how bad our employers/managers are, about how they do things stupidly, etc. And mostof us would have complained about how are suboridnates are not hardworking enough or not capable enough. Most of the time, we are too focused on what people do wrong than to look for what they do right instead. Nor do we think about what we do wrong. So in this movie, Jack Neo arranged for Gurmit Singh's blue collar worker character to have his soul swapped with Fann Wong's senior management character. Only then do they understand what the other has to go through, what they have done wrong themselves.
There are a lot of nice lines from the movie. The 3Bs that workers like to follow is Bang Leo, Bang Sai, Bang Pui and Bang Gang. Profession means 有功做,用心做,做不好,照收钱. For some things in live, it's not whether you can, but whether you dare. There are more. It's ok to break rules if you broke it at the right time. Catch the movie to find more.
So I am glad to see the back of 2006. This new year is supposed to be a good year for me and I hope it's true.

We left for hotel early today. We left at 4:30pm. By right it should be 5pm, but my team leader thought that the first day we should save a bit of energy for the subsequent days. Boy, do we need that energy...
After that we go back to the hotel. William and Steven bought back beers, and they suggested going to their room for some booze session, but it never materializes. Everyone is just too tired.
We wanted to have our dinner in the Batam city. The hotel does not want to take us to the city, so we arranged for our own transport. It cost us $7 each. We went to this massage parlour called Indo Thai. It's quite nice. If I should go Batam city again, I'll visit this massage parlour.
After dinner, it's back to the hotel. It's the last night we are staying in Batam. We only have 1/2 more day of work left.ladies Vietnamese construction girls with us in this program. It makes the work so much more siong easier.self torture little foray into making lives of the poor better. Each of us will bring back with us memories of these 3 days where we work our socks off. We are all office personnel. We are not used to doing such heavy stuff, and yet, here we are. 2.5 days of solid work. Everyone has done their part. Some may do more than others, but all gave their best. What we give in efforts and sweat, we got back in gratitude, experience and friendship. I am glad I came for this.
----
But it's not the end yet. I have more to write about this trip.
We went back to the hotel, wash up, had our lunch and have a little bit of time to kill.
There are 2 kinds of room in this hotel. The sea view and the pool view.Idiots.
