Mock, Mokken, Mocquer

Mock: To treat with ridicule or contempt; deride.
Originates from Middle English mokken, from Old French mocquer.

And every last one of these deserves to be mocked, be it in Middle English or Old French.

If I was climbing a mountain and I had no oxygen, I don't think a Casio Pro Trek watch is going to help me much. If it means the watch can survive under low oxygen conditions... then I'll be dead, but my watch will still go on running. Hooray.


Notice at video games arcade in Suntec City

What if I'm in a sleeve? Does that count? Or what if I had a little boy hidden in my shirt pocket? Will he be able to enter?

The following two pictures are from the Picket & Rail branch at Suntec City. Notice the first picture. It seems like a pretty good deal. In fact, it's almost half off.



Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with the picture above. But check out the second one and compare.



Now do you see a problem?

So this butterfly table was originally free, but they suddenly decided to start charging money for it? Is that even allowed?


China edition of a Jacky Cheung Snow Wolf Lake CD, at a Music Junction in Plaza Singapura

Limied edition. Ooh. Is it some new scratch 'n' sniff thing? Mmm... scent of lime...

Now read this very carefully:


In Novena Square

Now read it again.

No matter how many times you read it, you'll realize that the sentence makes no sense whatsoever.

So the quality has an international flavor. And that same quality also has a texture. And that texture melts in your mouth. Interesting. And I didn't know you could create a quality.

The fish fingers and the calamari ring (one huge calamari ring?) below have some really unique ingredients.

So that's how Malaysia gets rid of all the foreign spies they nab - they season seafood in them. Although the calamari seems to use local ones... The fish fingers use the Oriental ones... so what about the Caucasian ones? Maybe they make curry with them?

While returning from Rawa, I bought some gum at a little store.



I didn't know there were actually bootleg Wrigley's gum available.

It tasted like shit, by the way. Worst gum I ever had. Well, maybe except for the cinnamon-flavored Wrigley's gum.


At Chomp Chomp Food Centre, Serangoon Gardens

I thought stubbing out a cigarette on a "Quit Smoking" sign was pretty amusing. Maybe only to me, though.

Finally, something a little more sombre:


In the same Music Junction store (see above)

There's nothing amusing about it at all. Sure, I suppose you could mock it if you really wanted. But there's no denying the fact that it's pure evil, and another new money-spinning venture of the evil cult.

That last picture really depresses me.
