Breakfast at 3pm ? :x This girl is beyond hope...she is the stupid one, not McDonald's. She should be eating TUNCH - lunch and tea.
Scenario one - Overheard at McD drive-in - young girl asked her bf: \"why stupid McD breakfast extend only until 12 noon during weekends? We were out all night and I want to sleep in and eat breakfast at 3pm, cannot meh?\"Blobbi:
Same. I'm stunned by her cynicism. Is it the generational gap? Are our young so lost different from us?
There is a post in which she complained about having spent $21.5 for cabfare to the poly, but it was for the wrong day, so she felt she should get some compensation. Why this sense of entitlement? She could be that teacher who sued MOE all over again. -

hahaha, Last weekend, I wanted to buy a lunch meal for my gal at 1130 and McD told me, sorry , breakfast ends at 12pm on weekends. I was like, why? used to be 11am right? Why would anyone buy breakfast at 11 plus? Now I really see the generation gap. The early bird which catches the worm is dead. :rotflmao:

I wouldn't be eating breakfast meal at 11am...would prefer something 'heavier'.

best for both groups if McDonald’s can serve both breakfast & lunch between 11am to 12pm.

This 'sleep late and wake up late' syndrome seems to be the lifestyle of many youngsters nowadays..many of my friends' teenaged kids are doing that...they give the excuse that they are the generation Y and it's their lifestyle...We need to accept their way of living! :?
I, for one, will not buy this argument... I still believe in 早睡早起,身体好!
This lifestyle will likely to take its toll on the youngsters' health in the years to come :lol: -
I'm on the side of Darren's friends (Darren's case)
I mean, the family does NOT want pictures to be taken, and it's a private affair. The parents have the say over what theyw want to do. The reporters have no right to infringe personal space, just for their pittance of money. If that's their mindset, then they are a bit :siao:
Heartless people, reporters. This reminds me of Princess Diana. Paparazzi chasing them on motorcycles, that's why Henri Paul was going faster than usual. And when the reporters saw Diana, Dodi Fayed, and Henri Pal dying and whispering for help, they didn't do anything, they just took pictures. If I were there, I would obviously help Di first. Anybody with brains would do that.
Sometimes I feel reporters are not human, they just do any dirty work for $$$$.... -

In his desperation to escape from the police, he leapt three storeys off a balcony and into the swimming pool from the Honeymoon Suite at the SAF Yacht Club in Tanah Merah Coast Road.
Tragically for Edward Tay Wei Loong, 18, he plunged into the shallow end of the pool, which is only 1.1m-deep, hitting his head against the tiles of the pool, reported The New Paper.
Tay, who is among four teens charged with the Downtown East murder of Darren Ng Wei Jie, is now in the intensive care unit of Changi General Hospital (CGH) after an operation to relieve the internal bleeding inside his skull.
Tay’s three other accomplices — Tang Jia Min, 21, Ho Wui Ming, 20, and Chen Wei Zhen, 19 – who were with him at the SAF Yacht Club surrendered to police without a fight, and were charged in court on Wednesday.
All four face the death penalty if found guilty of murder.
The four – who are students and full-time national servicemen — were hiding in the Honeymoon Suite at the SAF Yacht Club in Tanah Merah Coast Road when the police came to arrest them.
A cashier at the “By The Water” restaurant, which is just next to the swimming pool at the yacht club, told The New Paper that “there was a loud ‘Boom!’ I thought someone had accidentally fallen from the balcony of a room on the third floor.”
She then rushed out to see what happened and found Edward bleeding profusely from the side of his head.
“There was a lot of blood; blood flowed onto his arm. He was telling people that he felt pain in his arm. He looked dizzy, but since his eyes were open and he was able to keep saying that it was ‘painful’, I thought that he was fine,” the cashier said.
Approximately 10 or 20 people were gathered round to help Edward, but it was not confirmed if the police were among those people.
A waiter at the same restaurant, who did not wish to be named, confirmed that the youth had hit his head against the tiles at the side of the swimming pool.
He said, “It was quite scary. There was blood on the tiles and on the floor.”
The four had reportedly checked into the Honeymoon suite as one of their girlfriends, whose father is thought to own a boat at the club, had booked the room for them.
Darren Ng died from multiple stab wounds after he and his friends got into a staring incident with another group of about 10 teenagers armed with choppers at Downtown East in Pasir Ris.
According to Today, Darren’s father, Mr Francis Ng, said at his son’s memorial service last night, “My son died because of his love for his friends.”
Darren’s childhood friend, girlfriend, elder sister and parents took turns to give their eulogies of a “cheerful” young man with “a heart of gold” to a crowd of 400 friends and relatives.
Darren was a second-year industrial and operations management student from Republic Polytechnic. -
I think the family is grieving and not in the mood to chase reporters away…besides reporters are not taking pics near the family.
If reporters didn’t do their job, will Singaporeans know who are the cruel murderers of the victim ? We won’t get to see their faces on the front page of ST today. -

Gang members definitely don't want their pictures taken...but victim is not part of the gang...he was killed by them. Let's hope police is able to round up the remaining 5 killers.

But if the parents don't want the photos taken, then they have no right to take pics. The parents can sue if they want, for infringement of privacy....

Hi php,
It sounds cruel to say this…but the friends of the victim don’t look that innocent…if you know what I mean. Violence is not accepted, esp where gangs are concerned. We definitely do not want 369 or other triad groups walking around. Hope something is done about this. -
It seems speculations going on...
