Blessing in disguise: something that at first seems bad, but later turns out to be beneficial. Many people believe that such occurrences are based on luck, on fate. Others take it as a gift from God, saying that it is all in God’s plan.

I really hope so.

Totally love this quote I saw off the internet: “Hard work OFTEN pays off after time, but laziness ALWAYS pays off now.” So young and true.

Staircase Slide
Whose genius idea was it to place a slide next to a long staircase and an escalator? Well apparently it is indeed an ingenious idea! Not only is it fun and exciting, it is faster. Not sure what I am talking about? Read on for the video on how some people came together and built a slide beside a long staircase that leads to an underpass. Watch how much enjoyment and fun the people had while sliding down. Anyone with me for such slides to be built in Singapore train stations? Continue reading
Real Life Skateboard Tetris
Some skateboarders doing a scene of the game Tetris.
Tetris (Russian: ТеÌтриÑ) is a puzzle video game originally designed and programmed by Alexey Pajitnov. It was created on June 6, 1984, while he was working for the Dorodnicyn Computing Centre of the Academy of Science of the USSR in Moscow. He derived its name from the Greek numerical prefix “tetra- (all of the game’s pieces, known as Tetrominoes, contain four segments) and tennis, Pajitnov’s favorite sport.
