And as it is...I'm the only one who can leave early.
The rest are still fighting although as another friend pointed out, they are to blame for agreeing to the release date.
Eh, I dont know which is more retarded....singing about fun pack or saying "oh we didnt know modifying lyrics also require approval".....
I quote from Channel NewsAsia:
In a statement, the Ministry of Defence said it did not realise that the rights obtained did not include rights to modify the lyrics of the song.
Colonel Ong Tze-Ch'in, chairman of the NDP 2011 Show Committee, said: "We're in the process of working with the recording and publishing company to try to secure the rights to modify the lyrics and until then we will not perform the song.
Dear COL Ong..... in such a situation, my legendary BMT platoon sergeant would have said 'I thought, you think, who confirm?'
Then we would knock it down/do crunches/run and touch faraway tree.
But I thought its common knowledge that you cant just take any song and modify the lyrics and call it "original"...!
The other scenario is even more retarded and seems more likely from the interview:
the Ministry of Defence said it did not realise that the rights obtained did not include rights to modify the lyrics of the song
So the IC doesnt know what the man is doing.....*facepalm*

I remember Robbie Williams once got sued..... for taking one single line from an existing song, modifying it somewhat, and adding it to one of his songs.
Oh, and he lost the suit.
Here's my source: Linkie
back from lunch...
Even Michael Jackson acknowledged lifting the bassline of one song (is it billie jean?) from Hall & Oates.
So what are the NDP people doing?
And of all things to lift....why GAGA!
It makes me wanna weep.

no... we can do our own original...
Why involve ppl from oversea to do stuff that's national? it's national day parade... not some music festival...
since nation, why not do things locally??? It's like we're losing sense of ourselves -___-

FACEPLANT~~~
heya....take a break... *looking at my lunch, no time to eat..*
saw the post on the Gaga-saga.... I was like *shake head*, the slightest common sense that anyone has to get approval for the song used in public.. no composer / artist in the right mind to let u use freely at will at such a big event.. plus national level.. plus the erhem..lyrics.. OMG...
they have been doing NDP for decades, what is wrong with them??!!??
acid, i am going to RAILWAY Track photoshoot this sunday morning.. wanna join us?
HAHAHA...
instantly woke up with this case I just kena:

it's like having the the best CPU but no monitor

Ok, they did a trace to this ridiculous case....
Turns out a taxi driver owe money....client out-source debt case to us, then taxi uncle talk to this tai-tai who was his passenger, and actually recommended us as top-notch ah-longs. And gave our number to her!
WTH. I didnt even think taxi uncle bohliao enough to talk about this.
I wonder what is worst...
Fudgies consistent blowing up of almost everything electronic or me have BSOD every now and then with Servers OS and crashing even the linux OS.
Life sux....
i see there is talk of accidents...
one of my colleagues' wife got into an accident.. totally not her fault...
she was minding her own business, driving up the road between the Changi Airfreight Centre when a car from the other side of the road, lost control, smashed over the centre divider through the bloody fence and destroyed her car while flipping over and ending up lying on its roof...
all ended up in hospital..
when all were discharged, the driver of the car who lost control had the balls to attempt to claim against my colleague's wife!!
of course, the police report was just shown and the insurance company probably told the driver to go screw himself and the biggest spider he can find, then charge him insane premiums x 10
poor lady, still receiving physiotherapy after 10 months.. and the car was a total write-off because it was 6 to 7 years old already.. they now have no car
Must be the asshole type who speed, lose control, and make everyone else's life involved miserable.
Reminds me of the accident I saw on the NS highway when I went to Melaka...the one that killed 5 out of 6 people. Guy was obviously driving at high speeds and everyone paid the horrific price.
That's exactly why I hate rich and arrogant losers.

the wifey's insurance co never go screw the other chap for compensation ? ....
should go talk to a lawyer you know .... if so many people can claim whiplash injury from 60kph fender benders, then I'm sure your colleague can screw the other fellow over for some money and satisfaction.

i dunno..
i think the case is still going on.. not sure what the result would be
and unfortunately, the guy and his wife are of the old school type.. read as "very subservient and won't make a fuss"
