Unlike the first 3D video I've seen a long time ago, these 2 videos do not make anything "pop up" and appear close to the viewer. Instead, all the 3D effect does is give the screen depth, just like a certain 3D movie I've seen last year, as if the room is just behind the screen and that if the viewer can get a hand through it, he'd be able to touch the people in the video.
I wonder how different the techniques are and why they can't make anything "pop up" like the first one I saw did.
Another thing is, why not Sora Aoi?
The Straits Times needs a reality check. I need to tone down on my anti-PAP rants.
But I can't help it whenever I encounter something so ridiculous. This guy is actually comparing our ministers' salaries with the ICT (In-Camp Training, ie reservist) compensation for NSmen!
The arguments can go like this: that if one wants to serve the nation, one must be prepared to sacrifice and forgo one's income worth.
Very true, yes.
If one were to use this line of logic, does it mean we should also not compensate our national servicemen during their in-camp training? After all, they should be prepared to sacrifice for their country and it's only income and not their lives they are sacrificing. This would save lots of taxpayer money.
You know what? I agree with this too.
What he failed to mention is that while ministers are free to leave their jobs whenever they want, we can't just quit our National Service and refuse to go for ICT. Their ministerial positions in the government are not their only jobs! Some of them even hold multiple directorships in other organizations.
Furthermore, the ministers receive annual bonuses pegged to our GDP, up to 8 months' pay this year.
These flaws in his logic are apparently too minuscule for him to notice, I guess.
I'm very sure I'm not being exposed to the PAP's point of view enough. However, I feel that the PAP isn't trying to reach out of the people online at all, even though that's where most of the current generation of voters are.
Where's the PAP Youtube channel? Even the DPRK has one.
The PAP's Facebook page is disappointing. All it contains is a short history copied from Wikipedia and is like by only 498 people (or 5 people with about 99 alt accounts each).
Can that even be considered as trying?
Oh wait... they have a website.
Remembered this only when I read this article saying that our ministers' pay is fair. I fully agree with this article and finds that it helps give me more balanced perspective that I remember having last week.
For some strange reason this made me lol.
Maybe I was bored but this made me laugh so hard.
And another.
Because random Jamaican men singing at your bathroom window are perfectly safe.
There are so many!
GI Joe, now in Japanese.
Wow this is certainly embarrassing. I've only just learnt the difference between a Current account and Savings account - a Current account doesn't accumulate interests and can be used with a chequebook, while Savings is the opposite.
Man...
Also been reading a little on private banking. I know it's useless but who knows? Maybe it will be useful someday.
Private banking originally began when wealthy men needed a dedicated banker for themselves whom they can contact at any time to discuss money matters.
Nowadays, private banking has been greatly cheapened and no longer involves such a cool service for everyone. At the cheapest level, you get a phone number to a call centre which would sound posher than the usual bank tellers. On a higher, more expensive level, you get a direct number to a specific banker, whose number is available to only a couple hundred of other "wealthy" men like you and is able to re-direct you to specialists according to your needs.
That's probably what most rich people can get.
All these services also cost money and they don't come cheap (obviously).
As for the minimum sum required, I can only get numbers from UK articles, where the lowest number was 50k GBP.
I think you'll want to place a facebook button to your blog. I just marked down this site, although I had to do this manually. Just my $.02 :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion.
