Clarke Quay is a must-see destination for tourists in Singapore. The Singapore River together with barge lighters, colonial-style shophouses and warehouses offer the area a perfect ambience for nightlife. The area has undergone a nip/tuck operation and reopened to public again in October 2006 with rookies like Hooters, Ministry of Sound, The Clinic, Kandi Bar, Fashion Bar, etc., reserving Singapore a spot on the world’s night-entertainment atlas. The architect, Will Alsop, inserted a new-roof with sophisticated shading and cooling system over the existing rows of shophouse to give the area a new visual icon. This giant umbrella has turned once-opened external streets into a sheltered and controlled environment.

Specialisation is dead...
There is no such thing as mono-functional, anymore. MTV shows everything besides music videos. KFC sells burgers while McDonald's also offers McWings. Animations are no longer made only for children. Space dedicated for comments becomes a golden opportunity (as it is free) for advertisements. A piece of advertisement on a comment page is equivalent to a guy in a ladies’. His behaviour is inappropriate and often branded as ‘pervert’. Nobody thinks it is acceptable except for himself. Like a deadly orchid growing on a rain tree, it takes whatever it needs from the tree just to make itself prosperous and, of course, contributes nothing in return.
Anonymous is everywhere...
Thousands of people are known as Anonymous. Since this is a cyber world, with an absence of physical distance, Anonymous can appear (and reappear) in many places at the same time and many times in a day or even in a split of a second. Anonymous can be both your best friend and greatest enemy at the same time. Anonymous can be American, Chinese, Thai, Dutch, Singaporean, Vietnamese, Korean, or any other nationalities, even a Japanese in disguise as a Sri Lankan is possible. Anonymous is a door of opportunities and a key to possibilities. Anything is possible. Any action is acceptable. The amount of sincerity and the level of social responsibility, though cannot be measured physically, drop tremendously once one puts on an Anonymous robe, with "100% protection guaranteed" and “one size fits all” written on its underside.
