Anton Casey - Is he really repentant?

Seriously, what is happening to the people in Singapore recently?

First, we have Heather Chua (who turned out to be a guy in disguise)... Followed by Steph Micayle (the arrogant i-am-not-proud-to-be-a-singaporean girl).. and now to this British ang moh, Anton Casey, who made headlines due to his perspective of how POOR we are.

All of them have one thing in common - Stepping on Singaporeans' tails.

(Honestly... Is mocking or looking down on others a kind of trend now?)

It all started with this:

"Daddy where is your car & who are all these poor people?"

(Photo Courtesy of www.mothership.sg)

And this:

(Yes, that's his freaking face on the left)

"Ahhhhhhh reunited with my baby. Normal service can resume. once I have washed the stench of public transport off me FFS!"

*shakes head*

Train commuters = Poor people?

I suppose he should get his facts right before making such remarks that are uncalled for.

He may be rich materialistically, but he is definitely not in terms of his personality as a human being.

Owning a car in Singapore doesn't classify you as "rich". 

Being an "ang moh" here doesn't make you superior.

You are a foreigner here - with both your feet stepping on the grounds of SINGAPORE. Instead of appreciating the fact that your presence is accepted here (which I think was a huge mistake) , you chose to bite the hand that feeds you.

Does criticizing the locals and showing how "highly-class" you are make you feel good in some way? Is that how you, Anton Casey, has been living your life this way?

Not only that, does it make you feel better that your five-year-old son is involved in this shit as well? (Yes, the kid IS innocent, but look at you - people are feeling sorry for him that he has such a dad as it's apparent that he doesn't have a good upbringing)

Yes, according to the latest report - This Anton Casey has since made an apology. 

BUT think about it..

If this matter wasn't blown to such extent or had the netizens not CSI-ed out his details which posed a threat to his family, would he have apologized?

Is the apology sincere, or only happened out of fear?

(Seems like he underestimated the CSI abilities of netizens)

His initial attempt to change his Facebook name already explained everything. 

He tried to hide and escape from being exposed of his identity - but was unfortunately successfully sought and left with no choice but to answer for his own actions.

It's right that people deserve second chances, but it all boils down to his mindset and mentality. 

Is he really repentant of his actions; or is he apologizing for the SAKE of apologizing just to appease Singaporeans and salvage that 0.1% of his reputation? 

I hope that this case serves as a good lesson for others out there.

Watch your words and THINK TWICE before expressing them. It is not entirely true when people say that Internet is a platform for freedom of speech.

It doesn't mean that you are restricted to your thoughts - but I believe a person who is sensitive enough would not have put his messages across in such manner like Anton Casey's.

[WARNING: NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD!] Back to the Old School times!

I have no idea why I am feeling so much nostalgia these days that inspire me to post this entry.

Somehow I miss, as in... I REALLY miss those days when I was a young kid - being taken good care of by my parents, playing with my toys without giving a damn to what was happening in the world. Isn't that one of the advantages of being a kid?

 Life was all about you, yourself and still YOU. There was no financial burden, political issues, relationship problems... All you cared about was just probably your HotWheels toy or five stones.. or maybe you were outdoors playing a round of zero point or hopscotch with your neighbors and friends.

If you are not feeling the nostalgia already, I'm gonna' post some old-school photos here (credits to: http://www.facebook.com/irememberSG) that I have experienced through MY childhood days! Let's see if you are around the same era as me..

(Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN ANY RIGHTS TO THE PHOTOS HERE. If you happen to be the owner of the pic and would like it to be removed, please let me know!)

#1: PAGERS!

Pagers!! I am glad I have been through this era when I thought owning a pager was so cool! Unfortunately,  I never got around to actually owning one - except having a toy version of it. My sister was luckier though - She was old enough to own a pager at that age -and  I remembered hers was a blue one!

But hey - Doesn't this particular model appeal to you as well (I had the toy version of it!)?

#2: Mobile phones! (Yes, the old school Nokia times!)

Gosh, this picture brings back so many memories as well. Remember those times when mobile phones seemed to be mainly revolving around Nokia and Motorola only? (Heck Apple, it wasn't even much of a mention during those times!)

I miss the old school midi-like ringtone, and the pride I felt just by owning one Nokia 3120. LOL. Not to mention that nobody was worried about battery life, etc. Come to think of it, mobile phones have indeed came a long way and have transformed quite enormously!

I am sure you have owned a Nokia at least once in your lifetime... Right?

I used to be ADDICTED to this game, which could be found in every old-school Nokia phone. Yes, it's none other than the classic SNAKE game. Darn, I could spend hours and hours trying to beat my own high score! It was such a fun game; one that I would never fail to play in the toilet when I was shitting. *Ahem, excuse me. Cough*

#3: Nintendo Game Boy

OMG. Look at all the game cartridges! Remember all those 100-in-1 games that were widely sold in electronic stores? Think Super Mario, Ping Pong, Tennis, Donkey Kong, Tetris, Pokemon etc.

If I am not wrong, I own 3 different Gameboy consoles throughout the years. I began with the color version (as illustrated in the above picture), and eventually ended with the DS version.

I would spend so much time battling the Pokemons, catching wild ones in the woods, etc. A pity that I am not that much into games anymore, but those would be memories that are etched in my mind for as long as I live. Come on, they made up a part of my childhood, too! How about you? 

#5: Brick Game

Okay, I think this appeared way before the Gameboy, right?? (I'm not completely sure, just making a wild guess) BUT hey, I had this one too! Granted that there were not many games contained in this console (it only has Tetris in it), but it was already enough to keep my entertained for hours! The joy of seeing the bricks disappearing as I matched them in a row was just so addictive. In fact, I remembered hallucinating those bricks even when I closed my eyes just before I slept! LOL. Speaking about obsessed.

#5: Beyblades

Hmm. I didn't really own a Beyblade, but I have definitely been through those times when Beyblades were furiously trending. Mind you, one Beyblade wasn't cheap, you know.

I remembered my ex-classmates would bring them to class and played them, and I unexpectedly got myself a pirated version; which was just as fun except that it wasn't the real thing. (Oops, forget I said this. Please)

#6: Aeroplane Chess

Aeroplane chess! I owned one, but I don't really remember exactly playing it. Nonetheless, this is considered a part of my childhood board game collection.

#7: Alphabet erasers

The alphabet erasers! Collecting them all in a full set was such a trend! I had lots of them back in my time, and most of them were well-used! There were the alphabet version and flags one, too! I think these erasers serve an educational purpose as well. Are you one of its avid collectors too??!

#8: Chocolate Waffle Biscuit

The waffle biscuits that could be found in party packs during birthdays! I remembered my classmates distributing their packs (myself included) ; and it would be inclusive of this waffle biscuit!

That's some nice Ovaltine candies! I think there are still places in Singapore that are selling them. Nonetheless, they are still a part of my childhood! Not to forget Horlicks as well!

#9: Ovaltine candies

I loved these! I couldn't decide which I preferred better - Ovaltine or Horlicks. I think these candies are still available somewhere in Singapore in some mama shops. Have any of you spotted this?

#10: Mcdonald's Coupons

Hoho. I somehow remember this! I would cut out coupons from newspapers (unlike now, when e-coupons and MMS-style are so mainstream) for Mcdonald's Value Meals! 

#11: Ding Dang and Tora chocolates (+ Toys!)

YES YES YES. Both were my all-time favorites! I would often find myself in a dilemma between both. (Somehow, I felt that Tora had better toys, but it was more expensive)

 I admit I was not that into the chocolates... BUT the mysterious toys that came in the box. Sometimes, I "weighed" the boxes in my hand and attempted to figure out which would have better toys. Heavier = Better toys. Hahaha, that used to be my mentality. Was it just me, or did anyone have similar style too?

#12: Whistle candies (I don't really know what they are called)

I have always been fascinated by these circle-like candies. They produced whistling sounds when you blow one using your mouth. Kids my age at that time would use these to irritate the adults, and hey, it was pretty funny!

#13: Disc Biscuit?

Okay, I don't really know what they are called, but those biscuits were definitely a part of my childhood! They were commonly found in mama shops, etc. I remembered the taste being sweet and the biscuits would melt in my mouth! Somehow, I am starting to have a craving for these. Where can I find them now?!?!

#14: Pola snack

Pola snacks! Not really that nostalgic to a large extent since they are still readily available now (In fact, I just had one weeks ago).. But I have to compliment on the taste! These animal biscuits are quite salty, but are strangely addictive. I remembered buying them from the tuckshops during my primary school days using 20 cents. Haha.

#14: Chocolates

Since young, I have always thought that these were cheap imitations of M&M chocolates! Yes, they actually look quite similar, but somehow have different tastes.

 Cheap as they may be (it cost around 10 or 20 cents per packet), these became a part of my childhood as well.

#15: Ice popsticks

AH, I love SUCKING from these! Those were commonly sold at 10 and 20 cents each. They were trending like wildfire during my primary school days. It was such a usual sight to see kids sucking them after school hours in their school uniform! My usual practice was to break it into half and shared with my mum. Ah, those were the days... ..

#16: Paddle Pop Ice-cream

I would call this rainbow ice-cream because of its colors. It tasted unique; and just right for my taste buds. I know Paddle Pop still exists, but just not that easily found now.

#17: Flying Gliders

Ah, was this sold at $1 (if I am not wrong?) I had them! These gliders were made of Styrofoam-like material and could glide quite swiftly. I would throw them as high as I could, and they would bump into the wall and fell. Hahaha.

#18: Assorted Rubber balls

OMG, this has got to be one of my favorites as a child - Bouncy rubber balls! They would come in these kinda machines as pictured below; and there were so many random various designs that appealed to me so much. I remembered those smaller-sized balls cost me $0.20, and the bigger ones at $0.50.

Yes, I have a huge collection of them - and they are still in my house, stashed away somewhere!

#19: Collectible trading cards

Laser/Hologram cards! Those cost $0.20 from the card machines!! I would target the design I wanted - and prayed hard that I would REALLY be that lucky.

Somehow,I ended up with a huge collection of such cards as well, ranging from Digimon, Pokemon, celebrities' photo cards and even my favorite ones from Huan Zhu Ge Ge drama series!

Those cards were trending furiously then ; and collectors would exchange with one another if they had similar cards.

Yes, this is a pic of the machine! So DAMN nostalgic and I am sure it would be found in a museum somewhere in future. LOL.

#20: Phonecards

Do you remember these phonecards?! I was an avid collector! Those were the days when not everyone had the luxury to own mobile phones or computers with internet connection. My mum would often buy these to call back to her relatives in Malaysia, and I would be waiting for her to use up the value in the card just so I could add them to my collection! One of the reasons why these cards were worth collecting was because of the different designs. I would follow my mum to the nearest store and choose the design that I wanted. Some were even limited editions!! *squeals in joy* Such simple life desires then. Ah.

#21: Pop Pop sand...crackers?

OMG the POP POP white crackers that can create really some LOUD "POP" sounds when thrown on the floor! I was so fascinated by them! In fact, my bff and I have been searching for these everywhere, in the hope that we can play with them again. If anyone has any information about it, please... let us know! :) 

#22: Pick-up sticks

Pick-up sticks anyone?! It was such great joy to play with my dad and friends in the past. One slightest movement of any stick and you shall lose your turn. Does anyone still play it now that mobile phones have taken over ALMOST every childhood game?!

#23: Tamagotchi 

I was so PROUD to finally own one after my dad GAVE IN to my demands. I was such a little brat... I refused to let my dad sleep until he verbally agreed to get one for me, which he eventually did. It was considered one of the latest technology during that time - and I was so fascinated by the idea of having an electronic pet.

It wasn't cheap at that time (but I knew nothing about hard-earned money when I was just a kid).. So hey, I love you, my dear daddy! Thank you for getting me one after much of my nonsensical persuasion.

#24: Mcdonalds' Happy Meal Toys

I love all these collection, and I fondly remember the Sesame Street beanie series! No, I didn't collect them all, but I had a few. They are so adorable, aren't they? I just love collecting Happy Meal toys from Macdonalds', and I can say that I grew up with them.

#25: Stickers

Collecting stickers were one of my favorite hobbies! (Alongside with collecting phonecards. Haha) I have always had a great fascination for stickers, especially hologram-like ones. I remembered having Doraemon, Hello Kitty, random cats/dogs stickers... and a few were given by doctors who praised me for being a good sport when I visited their clinics with my dad. Aww. Such sweetness. Will any doctor still give me stickers now?! *thick-skinned*

#26: Card games

Old Maid, Donkey, Happy Family card games.... I remembered these cost around 60 to 80 cents for one pack! It was great fun to play with a group of friends. Those were the times when mobile apps didn't exist at all.. and PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAD REAL, PHYSICAL FUN.

#27: Autograph/Diary books

GOSH #()$*()#$. I grew up in this trend, all the way straight up to my secondary school days! Kids at my era would be found having beautiful autograph books, which we would pass around in class. We would write our profile (such as addresses, telephone numbers, etc) using different colored pens ... and ended with some cheesy friendship poems. I was quite a fickle-minded child though, I kept changing different autograph books and would get my classmates to write over and over again.

#28: Bubble Blower

Heck, I wasn't really good at blowing these. I would often get my dad or friends to blow them for me, and I would be having so much fun with the transparent, sticky temporary bubble-looking balls. They are still around somewhere, just that nobody really plays them anymore.

#29: LaoFuZi comic books

I am sure any of you reading this blog entry here would have heard of this famous LaoFuZi comic series. I would never get tired of them, and could even read them repeatedly during toilet breaks and such.

#30: Mr Kiasu

Mr Kiasu! I read alot of MR Kiasu comics from the library - and they were great! Now let's see if I am able to get them from the libraries again... I would love to read them after such a long while.

#31: PETS Coursebook

Homework, homework, homework.. Does that give you the jitters? What used to be a nightmare has since became a fond memory. I remembered the PETS coursebook very well - that came along with the PETS Worksheets that were not pictured here, unfortunately.

There were different pets that represented different educational levels! Which was your favorite? I guess mine was the squirrel!

#32: Computer

Yes, the times when such computers were considered the latest technology. Huge CPUs, monitors... It's really fascinating how computers have transformed to what they are like now. In the past, there were no DVD writers, had low internal storage, etc. Heck, Internet was expensive those days as well. My childhood consisted of games that came in CD-roms. Sim City 2000, The SIMS, etc.

Games of that era couldn't be downloaded (unlike now =_=), so being able to own games in CD-roms were somewhat... exciting.

*EDIT* I found one super nostalgic video that had me buzzed back to the past. This is Sim City 2000, a game that I used to play with my elder sister when I was very young!

#33: Diskettes (Floppy Disks)

3 and a half floppy discs! These were used as main storage media devices, way back before thumbdrives and external HDDs came into view! I am proud to be through this era because I always thought I was a clever kid to copy and paste computer games in it. LOL.

#34: Sony Discman

I planned to own one, but eventually never did. If I was not wrong, I took one over from my sis, who was always a step ahead of me in terms of technology. Haha. Those were the non-MP3 player times. Music wasn't even readily available for download during those era. People actually spent money to purchase original CD albums!! Who was the market spoiler that started the music download trend?!?!

#35: Interesting Pencils...

I am sure many would remember this. I had them in my pencil boxes and I could switch the leads as and when I wanted!

#36: Hao Gong Ming (Good Citizen) text book

I'm curious, does this still exist in primary schools today? These were textbooks that educate children on how to be a good citizen.

But I guess people like Steph Micayle/Stephanie Koh hasn't been through this era before. LOL.

#37: Shoe Whitener

Remember these school shoes?! Those shoe whiteners were so handy and useful in making the shoes look white!

#38: Kodak Films

Back to the non DSLR or digital camera times. When I was young, my dad would take me to the Kodak store and purchase such films before any family outings or overseas trip. Those were the times when photographs did not exist in soft copies; and somehow it was an exciting feeling to be looking forward to how the photos turned out when we collect them from the store!

#39: Public telephones

Sadly, these were no longer around. I think they are still useful despite the fact that we have mobile phones in terms of emergency usage. These were hugely popular during the pager days, when people would need one to call back whenever they received a page.

#40: Public buses

Remember this design of the bus?! So retro! I have to admit that I used to love non air-con buses better than air-conditioned ones as I preferred the natural breeze more.

Carbon monoxide aside, it was actually a "shiok" feeling having my hair fly all over my face as the bus sped! (Windows seat FTW!)

Okay, there are actually a LOT more nostalgic objects that are worth a mention in this entry, but I guess there are simply too many to name! Probably I shall do a Part 2 sometime. 

Remember to share this post if you like it and have been through the era! :)

"I don't feel proud to be a Singaporean" - Stephanie Koh/Steph Micayle

So I came across this piece of "I-don't-feel-proud-to-be-a-Singaporean" news on STOMP, which made its headlines shortly after the interview video was released.

Initially, all I saw was this screenshot of a sweet-looking girl. (At this stage, I was only judging a book by its cover. "Hmm," I thought to myself. "Not bad-looking".)

But gosh, I had the horror of my lifetime when I was watching the video. I don't know exactly how to put it, but she doesn't really give off a very good vibe the moment she began talking.

The "I-don't-give-a-damn-to-what-you-think" attitude was SO NOT APPEALING AT ALL. (I am not criticizing her for the sake of criticizing - If you have watched the Kpop Star Hunt 3 episodes, you'll see what I mean.)

The episodes are still ongoing.

Anyway, back to her razorTV interview - She dropped the big bomb when she claimed that she doesn't feel proud to be a Singaporean.. and went on to rant on how Singaporeans lack creativity, etc.

Needless to say, the recorded interview offended many who have watched it. 

I was trying so hard to remain neutral - but boy, was it hard. 

In case you still have no idea who she is (but I am sure most people do by now), her name is Stephanie Koh, or more widely known as Steph Micayle. 

Perhaps this video of her might ring a bell - as her acoustic version of "Gangnam Style" went viral previously.

No doubt I do think she is talented. In fact, VERY. I love the way she sings; and I do agree that the future seems to be bright ahead for this young girl.

BUT... As bad as it sounds, I have to say that her attitude SUCKS BIG time. You can't deny it from the way she talks - it was like she's some high-and-mighty princess who doesn't care less of what others think. No, don't get me wrong, I am not talking about the content of her video yet. Let's just focus on her portrayed personality first.

Somehow, her accent is quite off-putting. Seriously, in what way does she sound like a Singaporean? Oh wait- she doesn't appreciate being one anyway. *laughs*

Oh well, it's obvious how she is trying to be a man-made ang moh - with a name such as "Steph Micayle" and having a thick fake accent that I have no idea which country of accent she is trying to make people think she is from. 

Not sure if anyone notices that she tilts her head alot when she talks (and even rolling her eyes at some point).. It reminds me so much of an arrogant bi*ch that everyone hates at high school. Is that some kind of over-confidence symptom? *grits teeth*

Since then, she has made another video to elaborate on her points WHY she isn't proud to be a Singaporean:

CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO

Yaddah-Yaddah.. and she has this sudden growth of fans after posting this - Many seem to be supporting her viewpoint since she indeed did make a few valid points about "majority" of the Singaporeans.

Yes, no doubt that she managed to speak the hearts of our people out there - but come on, WHERE ARE THE GOOD POINTS ABOUT SINGAPORE? All you can ramble on is just the education system, and how narrow-minded and pathetic you have made Singaporeans sound to be.

Freedom of speech is your thing, huh?

As much as she dislikes Singapore, nobody appreciates her presence here as well - Why do we need someone here who feels ashamed to represent us when it comes to international competitions? 

You can disagree with the lifestyle here (nobody gives a damn), but does that really deter you from taking pride in being a Singaporean?

Personally, I feel that Singapore should be a place for people who appreciate being here. Yes, you may think negatively of Singapore, but never forget that there are pros and cons to everything. 

It's not easy that Singapore is being shaped to what it is like now - and looking back, we sure have came a long way. 

I apologize for my spur of anger - Everyone knows I am a proud Singaporean and that one-liner "I don't feel proud to be a Singaporean" kinda' got on my nerves.

Conclusion:

Stephanie Koh/Steph Micayle, I dislike you.

Get a life (Not in Singapore, please)

Edit:

Okay, so there are many of you out there who have begged to differ regarding my previous post on Steph Micayle/Stephanie Koh.

Yes, no doubt that she has gained alot more supporters after she posted her rebuttal video, in which a hell lot of Singaporeans have wrote of how she managed to "speak their hearts", how "spot on" her points were, etc etc.
Granted that she was able to voice out what you may not have been able to, but I was not targeting my blog entry on the content of her video.

I was more towards her personality or character as an individual, which I think it pretty sucks.

She throws her tantrum when thing don't really go the way she wants; and doesn't seem to be able to accept opinions from others in a graceful manner.

In situations when she felt that she has a point, she would speak up fiercely for herself and doesn't give a damn about what others feel.

Such arrogance and selfishness... I am glad she didn't win the title of Champion in the Kpop Star Hunt.

A MUST-visit place once in a LIFETIME - Pripyat!

So I came across a random article online the other day on some of the many abandoned places in the world - and I got so fascinated that I think I am OBSESSED.

Don't get me wrong, I am NEVER an adventurous person, let alone the travelling kind. 

BUT GOODNESS KNOWS WHY I am so DEEPLY intrigued by this particular city called "Pripyat", a city in northern Ukraine. I got so excited that I told my bf, momo, that I WANT to go there with him someday.  *yells*

(And too bad, I did not give him the chance to say "NO". Ha!)

So I went into a heavy research about the place, and found some information about it - alongside with AMAZING OH-MY-GOD photographs that will make you feel as though you are there.

Ok ok, I figured some of you may not know what I am talking about - So here is some background info about Pripyat (if it does interest you in any way. LOL)

According to Wikipedia:

"Named for the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, for theChernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.^[2] It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360^[3] before being evacuated a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster."

Technically speaking, the WHOLE freaking city had humans all emptied out. It is a whole city by itself, damaged, abandoned and left as it was after their citizens were asked to evacuate the place due to the overwhelming level of radioactivity. It is no longer a place where humans can inhabit anymore.

However, reports have it that the level of radioactivity has decreased rapidly over the years, and there were people who actually went there to visit the city!

(I am sure you can sense my excitement as I am typing this entry. *hands trembling*)

Just to let you have a "feel" of the reason for my excitement, let me find some photographs of Pripyat - with credits, of course.

(In fact, if you would like to see more.. Just GOOGLE it and you'll be able to find alot of results!)

Okay, this series of photos below were grabbed from: http://blog.vornaskotti.com/2010/07/15/into-the-zone-chernobyl-pripyat/ ) Fascinating adventure, I would say!

This is part of Pripyat:

(Can you imagine? The city actually looks quite developed - and I can't believe it's a Ghost Town!)

A gigantic ferris wheel

*imagining children of that era who were sitting happily on there*

An olympic-sized swimming pool - looks kinda' haunting:

I suppose this is a fish farm, as described:

*screams* AND THERE ARE STILL SPECIMEN JARS LEFT ON THE SHELVES!!

I am SO going to open those sealed jars and let my momo sniff them if we ever get the chance to be physically there. OMG.

And guess what - This is a shot from the Pripyat Hospital

Medical supplies - Imagine consuming them! LOL.

And here's an old and abandoned piano that the author said was still USABLE just by plucking the strings! *closes eyes and imagines who the previous owner was*

Stepping into a house:

(Imagine if you were once the owner of the house and you finally get to return to it - It must have been a weird sensation- seeing everything again once more like you have just left it yesterday! I'm HIGHLY positive that there will be a strong sense of deja vu.)

An abandoned bus:

Gosh, this author has SO MANY more photographs that are too precious not to be mentioned here: (There is even  photo of a mummified dog found at a high storey!)

Visit his FLICKR page here (CLICK)

You know, one of the reasons why I AM so intrigued by places and things of the past is because I feel like they are a piece of living history.

It's like time travel, only in another form. When you step into the place physically, you will find yourself in a HISTORY zone. That exact spot you are standing was once stood by people of the past; which they never knew you would be eventually there and witnessing the aftermath of their lives.

My imagination tends to run wild A HELL LOT when it comes to such things - Call me crazy, but I could actually stare at a piece of history and just go blank while letting my mind rewind like a memory tape, imagining how those places used to look like during its happier times; and the people who were using the particular object that has since became an artifact before my eyes.

That is why I spend alot of time in museums - and damn it - I LOVE museums.  

Somehow, I regretted being not that interested in history during my secondary school days. Turn back the time now and I am sure I will be one of those crazy history students.

Gosh, the temptation to visit Pripyat is so strong - but I'm worried about the radioactivity.

(Of course, I don't want to contract any health problem after visiting the city!)

P/S: My momo told me that Pripyat actually appeared in a game called "CALL OF DUTY". I am sure you gamers out there would have heard of it. Gosh, I am not a gamer but I SURE am interested to know how this game works.

Right.. I'm going to stop typing now as I'll be off to watch some documentaries on Pripyat.

*Pastes "DO NOT DISTURB" signboard*
