30 Years of Delicious Fun

Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Inc. had very humble beginnings for a company which now spans 20 countries.

Started in 1978 in a renovated petrol kiosk in Vermont, USA, by childhood buddies Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, the ice cream enterprise began with a $5 ice cream-making correspondence course from Penn State University and capital of $12,000.

Pretty soon, their ice cream become wildly popular in the local community for the creative flavours and even more ingenious names they came in. While the both of them had didn’t always agree on flavour combinations, they concurred that they were making ice cream to have fun, while making a living.

As Jerry is quoted in the press release, “If it’s not fun, why do it?”

Ben & Jerry’s ice cream has been available in Singapore since 1999 and their first scoop shop here opened at the Singapore Zoo in 2004.

a news everyone has been waiting for. well, almost everyone.

refer to picture for points.

point 1: it took 11mins for the guards to discover he was really missing. how efficient. hur hur.
point 2: the window so small and a crippled 47 year old man can climb out of it. damn zhai. and he did it without makin much noise for the sleeping guard outside the cubicle door to hear. then he ran to the nearby fence, where he leveraged on a enclosed stairway to climb over it. all these took 49secs according to the reenactment by officials. I must say again, 47 year OLD man. Crippled. No training at gym (unless the detention centre has a gym for them to use). And u mean there’s no guards patrolling the camp perimeters when it was known there were visitations on that day?
point 3: I cant seem to find the 5 page executive summary though they said it was released. someone tell me where to get? yahoo.com.sg returns no fruitful result. Fount it. Click here. google is really just much better.
point 4: Gone in 49 secs? that’s even faster than nicolas cage when he stole that car from the hit movie, Gone in 60 seconds. and i must say again, crippled 47 year old man can disappear though small holes and fast speeds.

here is my executive summary from i understand from the few articles i read: Mas Selemat’s escape was miraculous, and the security at the detention centre is somewhat not existant.

 

Sg is really on the map man. 2008 lousy security led to terrorist escape (prison break in real life). 2010 stupid-lympics. 2008 F1 racing that cost more money to organize than recover (according to the organizer. as if i believe u will organize if there were no profits to be made), damage the roads (the F1 car tyres will actually leave marks on the road as all of them take the same attackin line; those marks provide the most traction as well) and total waste of electricity to make night look like day (why not just hold it in the day?). 201x gambling resorts.

 

Enough for ranting. time to hit the books. 1 week to exams. yippie.

morti or maoti?

April 19, 2008 at 11:43 am | In Uncategorized | 2 Comments

It been a while. finally, all the reports are over for the time being! now, have about 1,600 labs to moderate and exams in the way b4 sch is over! feel like going overseas. so sian already. but not much budget. and no where to go also. sigh sigh. oh, and it has come to my attention that i pronounce ‘multi’ as ‘mor-ti’ while someone claims is ‘mao-ti’. ha. have i been pronoucing the word weirdly all my live? hmmm…

 

happy birthday?
be warned. gruesome and sick but nature.


this video is truly an eye-opener. first, how come youtube nv censor this video? i know its not porn and its normal part of live, but still.. anyway, i wasnt a fan of censors to start with. i tink censors take away the true essentials. second, wa lau, i will nv enter the labour room with my wife.. she can go in herself. i will hide under my blanket till the doc tell me its over. third, when i was born, i brought physical pain to my mother and financial burden to my dad. how is that a happy birthday?

 


the woman on the right look damn funny la. ha.




the family line of suparheros. ha.

 


wat a shitty job.


a rabbit in disguise.

i dont understand why i dont like hamilton

April 19, 2008 at 11:21 am | In Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

its back to f1 news! hamilton lost the last race until chui. yippie. hahaha. no idea why i dont like him. but kimi and alonso are my topdogs. here are some random f1 pics and 2 videos on how hamilton, ‘the great rookie’ crash his car at bahrain. by the way, messa won. good for him.

 


i dont quite get why the driver need to look at himself..

 


the way a world champion goes to work. damn slack dressing. but the watch shld be a tag heur.

 


power steering wheel. imagine they need to race at 200km/h and still tink abt all these buttons.

 


are u sure the first girl from the right is not a dude?

 


seriously, is this the best they can send? i know they are good looking la. but i tink since this is a international event, maybe shld really get the best?

 


haha. the guy’s expression damn funny.




and he crashes. chui ar. that was during practise round.

 



this was during the race. poor judgement of distance. can also see he is dying to fight in front disregarding all risk. his outcome? chui.

random laughter and amusement

April 12, 2008 at 11:02 am | In Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

random stuff. some i thot were interesting. some i thot was funny. have tonnes of stuff to do but here i am blogging. sigh. actually i thot it would be a relaxing week. turns out its even busier than last week. oh no…

 


if u look at the black gaps, or green squares, it’s as though they are moving.

 






had ice cream in lecture cos we din care want the lecturer would say it was sort of like a class activity. we were eating ben and jerry’s while she was talking about 2nd life and visiting the B&J virtual store front. oh. the lecturer paid for the ice cream. and my team had 2 tubs. the first was choc, the other was strawberry cos one of my team mate apparently loves strawberry flavor ice cream. it was quite funny. cos he is like about 1.7m weighin abt 75kg? anyway, best lecture ever.

 


interestingly, this is called classical conditioning. i tink those who took psych shld know bah. sort of like u change a unconditioned stimulus to a conditioned stimulus. sounds like i am bs-ing u all rite?

 


now, who said tigger and spiderman cant appear at the same place?

 


took this from someone else’s blog.

 


this was a time between friendster and facebook, when there was a new social networking site. but some reasons, it didnt quite take off like facebook. but anyway, i highly tink it has became a porngraphic site. and i pity whoever is pictured here without their consent but i doubt none are pictured her without consent la. Nicole T’s smile just seem so sincere. and i am sure mandy s walks around her neighbourhood dress like this.

 


i tink they look alike leh, though i asked someone if they did and the answer was no. see the eyeliner, the mouth. anyway, left is rihanna and right is ryuk.

 


rumours had it that natalie portman is dating a werewolve or some hairy monster.

 


star of gossip girl, blair wardorf. dont exactly look very pretty here leh. looks a lil funny.

 


tink the words aint very clear. i will type it out. the gymnast (wearing blue):"we use our strength and limberness to better the world!" captain yoga (wearing green):"just like superman, spider-man & all the rest". The gymnast:"so why won’t any other superhero team up with us?". Captain Yoga:"beats me!". i tink this is pretty funny. but i am easily amused sometimes.

 


if there is The Gymnast and Captain Yoga, and NUS always wanting to show off publish their achievements, they have Colonel Plastic Bag! suspected special powers are extreme ability to carry a lot of things at a single time (with so each bag growing out of him that can carry at least a pack of chao kwey tiao), extreme good camouflaging skills (by sitting next to a rubbish bin and he would have seemed to disappear) and anti-drowning ability (i tink the plastic bags can keep him afloat). like all super heros, he has 2 great weeknesses. he will melt if too near an open flame and can nv leave house without 1,923,847,192 pple laufing at him.

invisible and selfish

April 9, 2008 at 2:01 am | In Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

What have i been doing this past 2 weeks? hmm. i also cant remember much. i remembered my parents went london and i couldnt go cos of project draft submission. then i went clare’s mother house for 2 sats in a row. i remembered playin arcade on a sunday (been a long time since i done that). remembered doing cs4260 report. remembered doing cs4255 report. remembered i spent sat in sch. remembered i spent sunday at home typing things. remembered sunday nite till mon morning was looking thru the two report’s english (i had to correct tenses, also some sentences needed more clarity. ya. i din know i was the english person). now is slightly slackin week though it shldnt be. fun things await me. cs4265 presenation on fri. mkt3402 quiz on mon. cs4255 presentation on wed. cs4265 report submition on fri. then its off to holiday study week. yippie yawn! have tried to study mkt3402 today. i accomplished reading half a chap. wat great progress. every great journey begins with one foot step.

had presentation today morning. went for lecture. lunch with nic as usual. then stayed in sch a while. almost went for importu movie but cancelled. havent enjoyed the student rate movie tix. talked to some girl which i have nv talked to in my class. i have 3 same mod as her. but she has nv seen me in class b4. either i am harry potter wearing my invisible coat (or peter petrali doing my invisible trick) or she is not the obversant sort. i chose to believe the former. studied my half chap b4 going home. came home. ate. surf net. slept for 4hrs. sianness. mum woke me up. ate dinner. watch tv. blog. hopefully will be studyin ltr.

anyway, the show i was watchin was a documentary called Tuesday Report, aka 星期二特写. they showed mainly 2 stories but highly co-related. first they showed a couple, who’s business was to collect cardboard and metal containers from collectors. so they are like the consolidators. their customers were usually those older folks whom we would usually see collect cardboard n stuff. then they themselve will consolidate and sell to some factory at west side. then the west side factory will ship to other country to recycle it. the second story they showed was an old lady, aged 79, who lives in a single room flat, collecting card board. in short, both stories werent exactly ‘normal’. it was a rather mixed feeling watching it. the collectors were so old (but still strong) and they collect a whole stack of cardboard for a grand total of $2+. some guy who collected cans on a not so regular basis said u got an extra salary of $8 a week. can u imagine collecting cans for 1 week and getting $8? i wouldnt even bat an eyelid to eat an $8 meal. all these are part of society, but we seldom place any attention to it. pple who actually live by with amounts probably less than the avg allowance for students. pple who have to work hard and long each day for that less than avg allowance. sometimes i tink our society is too self-centered (me included). we dont really care about things as long as we dont see it. some of us wouldnt care even if we saw it. i wouldnt tink twice about spending money on some superficial things like clothes, shoes, arcade. maybe i am spending my money in the wrong place. afterall, i cant bring these along after i die. or maybe i am just really selfish. or maybe i was nv brought up with selfless social norms or culture influence. maybe maybe. food for thought i guess.

this mtv starts with by saying "if i had a choice, i wish i have nv met u". the story in the mtv goes like this. the guy found out he has a terminal illness. so he decides to leave the girl. but he faked a story that he will be going overseas to study instead. and the girl found out in the end. sounds cheesy? well, i tink it sounds rather sad. i tink such things do happen. not the terminal illness part, but just the sad stuff, and we dont wan anyone to know but just hide it away from others.

 

if time permits these week, i have some lame pics to show. ciaoz.

is sarcasm my core competency?

April 7, 2008 at 2:25 pm | In Uncategorized | 4 Comments

18 articles to ‘fan si ni men’. today is sarcasm day. so i will be darn sarcastic.


this picture was taken from an advert about visiting australia. who on earth wouldnt want to pay good money to take a bumpy ride on a stinking camel?

 


what a good boy, scored in his psle. it sure gave his mum a good reason to purchase a shoe cabinet, disguised as an aqauriam, to house all her nice shoes.

 


so good la. if nus have, i sure join. also, i feed my strays at home too. can i get some eca pts? btw, i thot its called ‘cca’ pts?

 


i nv knew managers were not covered under employment act. actually, i have no freaking idea wat is the employment act.

 


seriously, i dont see anything so badwith the signage. i tink the most important part abt language is communication and i tink the signage did that. lucky this stupid correct english column has ended. and the editors all look weird.

 


yes. electricty raised price too. so did rice, soy bean, wheat, petrol, cashcard, erp. the list goes on and on.

 


for those that on the air-con, this is the price of electricity for one air-con. imagine your house uses 4. it will be about $200+.

 


i din know plasma tv takes up so much power. anyway, CRT < plasma. LCD < plamsa. so would the writer kindly educate us CRT or LCD save more electricity? not everyone knows u know.

 


cashcard is the stupiest idea ever implemented. we dont need cashcard for a cashless society. cant believe they intend to continue such a stupid idea. chinese got saying, smth like since start wrong, then have to wrong all the way liaoz. and now i have to pay more money for a stupid card that i am forced to use. and did u know cashcards have expiry dates? meaning, if u need to use cashcard, u will surely need to pay for the increased price card sooner or ltr?

 


stupid idea again. amidst increasing electricty cost, the idea of lighting up the roads to imitate day time during night time seems oxymaronic. we cant we just use free light from the sun during day time? the night scenary better be viewable during the race.

 


stupid idea again! wow. stupid idea nv ends. firstly, wth wants to wear this t-shirt? secondly, who the hell would wan to pay for this t-shirt? thirdly, who the hell is so stupid to tink of such a stupid idea? do u tink the escape of a terrorist is a joke? fourthly, why the hell are the 2 indians in the picture naked? hope the terrorist bomb your house soon for mockin at their leader. we are supposed to be vigilant, not stupid.

 


no wonder my ministers cannot set an example to show us that public transport in sg is really worth taking.

 


this comic just reminds me of russel peters where he said "they just throw the rice around. let us throw mash potatoes at them"

 


for those who havent heard of this tragic accident, u r either blind/deaf/ignorant. anyway, miracle is too strong a word. it would be a miracle if the whole car crashed like a crushed tin can but everyone survived. i was actually tinking of the word "jinx", but i tink the public will slap me for being so insensitive.

 


this country will nv be this way. isnt that wat democracy is about?

 



this was in response to a SIA advertisement above. some expert pointed out that the cheese in the pic was not even zurich cheese but some swedish one. of cos layman like me didnt know. but i tink the spokesman response was totally unprofessional. can i put the picture of an australian beach then advertise it as sg sentosa? i tink this is totally no respect for other people’s culture. wat u deem unimportant (cheese) may not be unimportant to other people. stupid.

 


wayanging in the sun can be quite tiring. let me close me eyes for a moment. not exactly a picture perfect moment.

 


this is to improve everyone’s knowledge on the who is the minister of wat. $100,000/ mth per minister. song bo.
