of this will be the best vote in the singapore general elections (the mother's day street project 2011)

This will be voted the best vote in this election.



Benjamin Lim went around Orchard Road on 30 Apr to invite people on the streets to write a message to their mothers for Mother's Day, which falls on Sun 8 May. Titled "The Mother's Day Street Project 2011",

the aim of this project was to showcase how young Singaporeans, despite leading busy lifestyles and having to tackle school and work, still have not forgotten the important role their mothers have played in their lives.

See the rest of the photos here.

Benjamin co-writes at The Thinking Fish Tank and also blogs at Ben and his Lens.

These were his tweets

Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event).

Go away helicopter - before I take out my giant swatter :-/

A huge window shaking bang here in Abbottabad Cantt. I hope its not the start of something nasty :-S

Since taliban (probably) don't have helicpoters, and since they're saying it was not "ours", so must be a complicated situation #abbottabad

The abbottabad helicopter/UFO was shot down near the Bilal Town area, and there's report of a flash. People saying it could be a drone.

Here's the location of the Abbottabad crash according to some people >>> http://on.fb.me/khjf34

Two helicpoters, one down, could actually be the training accident scenario they're saying it was >> http://bit.ly/ioGE6O

and now I feel I must apologize to the pilot about the swatter tweets :-/

And now, a plane flying over Abbottabad...

Interesting rumors in the otherwise uneventful Abbottabad air today

Report from a taxi driver: The army has cordoned off the crash area and is conducting door-to-door search in the surrounding

Report from a sweeper: A family also died in the crash, and one of the helicopter riders got away and is now being searched for.

I guess Abbottabad is going to get as crowded as the Lahore that I left behind for some peace and quiet. *sigh*

I need to sleep, but Osama had to pick this day to die :-/

Uh oh, now I'm the guy who liveblogged the Osama raid without knowing it.

and here come the mails from the mainstream media... *sigh*

of bin laden's death and obama's birth certificate

American comedian Dana Gould twitted,

Bin Laden officially dead, the same week we learned Obama officially born. Weird...

of osama bin laden is dead

Osama bin Laden is dead, Obama says: US President Barack Obama gave a televised statement to announce the death of Osama bin Laden and that the U.S. forces had taken custody of Osama's body.

The mastermind of the worst terrorist attack on American soil is dead, U.S. President Barack Obama announced late Sunday night, almost 10 years after the attacks that killed almost 3,000 people.

Osama bin Laden -- the longtime leader of al Qaeda -- was killed by U.S. forces in a mansion outside the Pakistani capital of Islamabad along with other family members, a senior U.S. official told CNN.

In an address to the nation late Sunday night, Obama called bin Laden's death "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda."

In his statement, President Obama said,

Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who's responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children...And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.

Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground. I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan. And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.

Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.

Read the report how the U.S forces killed Osama bin Laden

BREAKING - Osama Bin Laden Dead

Unless you've been living under a rock (Al-Qaeda pun intended) for the last few hours, you're probably aware that Osama Bin Laden has been killed and his body is taken into US custody. BrObama just gave a pretty sweet presser confirming the fact. Way to save your term as president, bro. He needed this as bad as the Wings need a game 3 win this week . He has presidential candidates blasting him left and right and this may have just bought him 4 more years. Much love for our troops, here in the States and overseas, that risk their lives everyday to make sure this cocksucker paid the price. AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!
