The cream of Singaporean entrepreneurship

The enterprising spirit behind this company has been seminal in making Singapore what it is today.

Sighted by my homie Jerry Yeu while out and about in Singapore.

Heh.

Insert innuendo here

I couldn't decide between the multitude of double-entendres I wished to caption this photo with, so I'll leave it up to you, the readers. Please leave a comment with your best.

A nice turn of phrase from Chinese Arsenal fans

North London football side Arsenal are touring China this week, and played a 1-1 draw with Hangzhou Greentown. A backdrop to the match is the long-running transfer saga in which superclub Barcelona are trying to sign Arsenal's star playmaker and captain Cesc Fabregas, yet are going about it in a devious fashion. They keep offering far less money than he is worth, while constantly making overtures to him in the media aimed at unsettling Cesc and having him force the issue with his club.
So I couldn't help but laugh at this banner created by some of Arsenal's Chinese fans, which sums up the thoughts of Arsenal fans everywhere with some slightly odd English which makes just that much cooler.

Mmm, bukkake-flavoured noodles...

My friend Sash snapped this on the menu of Ichimaki, at Docklands in Melbourne. He didn't order it, and without wishing to disrespect the venue, I can't say I blame him.

If you don't get why this is funny/gross, you might need to read up on what bukkake means. (That link is not safe for work, even though it's a Wikipedia entry.)

Bukkake Udon is actually a common Japanese dish, in which a sauce is poured over the udon noodles. Bukkake means to pour or splash something. So now you know.

Interesting signs in Japan and Korea

This is one of my close friends Carissa, who has a good eye for funny signs, an insatiable hunger for travelling, and an itchy finger on the button of her camera. These photos came out of her recent travels in Korea and Japan, and I thought they deserved a wider audience.

Some really unfortunate Engrish

There are some words you really need to make sure you spell correctly.
