Like a Booby Trap? A Lizard Gets into a Sticky Situation in NTU Student Dorm
Ever glimpse a sleeping lizard and think it’s a sleepy reptile? Think again—this fearless creature found itself inside a glittering silicone nipple cover that had mysteriously gone missing from a student’s dorm. The scene sparked a hilarious scramble: tipsy scales, a frantic student, and an unsuspecting fashion accessory turned bowl of destiny. How did a lizard manage to sneak into a tidy dorm room? As it turns out, the answer might just involve a mix of curiosity, a very slick couch, and someone’s shortage of personal cover‑ups.
While the lizard hunkered down, the student faced a surprising new “cosmetic dilemma.” It was a perfect reminder that not all surprises come with store‑label packaging—they can sneak in on a tiny, unexpected guest.
Flash Floods Turn Drive Into a Nightmare – Stranded Drivers and Riders
Picture this: a sunny morning, the road seems wide enough and the traffic just moving. Then, in a blink, a flash flood sweeps through the city, and suddenly… vehicles turn into rafts and passengers into unplanned swimming lessons. That’s what happened outside Melville Road and the bustling downtown lanes where rains turned torrents.
The chaos was severe enough that emergency teams were called, and the drivers had to fight against: 1) rising water, 2) a slick road surface, and 3) sheer panic. An old route that usually pulls a steady stream of commuters became a chaos hub in a matter of minutes.
Who would have laughed? Only those who missed the whims of the weather and favored the adage “better roads than better weather.” Good on the brave souls who made it through—your courage is no joke.
Trapped in Thigh-High Floods: A Roadside Reality Show
Picture this: a sudden downpour turned a quiet highway into an impromptu aquarium—cars stuck at “deep-dive” levels, passengers indulging in impromptu water parks, and everyone looking for a lifeline rather than a parking lot. It’s not a luxury spa, but a reminder that the world can get a little splashy when we least expect it.
How the Chaos unfolded
- Rapid rise of water: Within minutes of the storm, water began creeping up to the front bumpers and eventually reached thigh‑high levels.
- Vehicles turned into floating islands: Drivers found themselves hunched over dashboards, while passengers—mostly bewildered—resembled a mix of swimmers and commuters.
- Rescue squads in action: Local fire crews and volunteers organized a coordinated rescue, using small boats and even borrowed lifeboats to help out.
What you’ll actually need to know
1⃣ Stay calm. 2⃣ Call for help. 3⃣ Keep your eyes on the ground—don’t assume your car will magically float away.
Still a “Bad Boy”? Nicholas Tse’s Villainous Flair in “Raging Fire”
Who says Hong Kong cinema can’t do a bit of dramatic mischief? Nicholas Tse, known for his cool charisma, jumped headfirst into a role that screamed “villain” and took the mantle with gusto.
Why the Villain is a Good Thing

- Future projects guaranteed. With this track record, we can’t wait to see what antagonist or anti‑hero he’ll conquer next.
Some Behind-the-Scenes Handles
True to his style, Tse was less about stealing the spotlight and more about directing the narrative— asking for a more rugged role, because he’s not just starring; he’s shaping the story.
In Conclusion
Between cars turning into lily pads and an actor turning into a badass, life isn’t always smooth sailing. Whether your adventures involve sudden floodwaters or dramatic twists, it’s all about embracing the moment—looking at the challenge, finding the humor, and, eventually, moving forward.

Shopee & Lazada Go Big or Go Home: Casting the BIGGEST Asian Celebs!
Picture this – two of Southeast Asia’s e‑commerce giants, Shopee and Lazada, have decided to put on a show that rivals the glitz of a Hollywood blockbuster. Instead of the typical sneaker‑and‑tooth‑paneled product launches, they’re pulling in the river‑rush star power of the region’s biggest names in showbiz. All the glitter, the drama, and a dash of supermarket… well, “shop‑and‑shop”.
Why the Mysterious Game Plan?
- There’s business buzz: Brazen brand recognition is the new currency. If you’re not seen anywhere, you’re practically invisible.
- Authentic entertainment: Talk about catching a video with a celebrity who goes from 3.5 billion clicks right into a checkout cart.
- Dream‑team vibes: A mix of A‑list actors, K‑pop superstars, and rising YouTubers means a dual‑genre attraction for every age group.
Meet the High‑Profile Rolodex
From Indonesia’s beloved actress Widyawati to Japan’s mega‑pop idol KIZUNA, the list is a cocktail of East‑Asian pop culture. Even the famed Malaysian comedian Rahim is rumored to be in the mix, which is a headline that would get parents raising their eyebrows.
How the Collaboration Works
When you tap on any of the campaign banners, you’ll see a 30‑second film where the celebrity awkwardly (or expertly) tries to navigate a Shopee or Lazada page. The twist? All the funniest micro‑errors come with a bang – a “discount code” that slides into the cart faster than a chipmunk on a skateboard.
Spiced With Real‑Life Promos
Batch after batch of videos, each one ends with a pop‑up saying “Grab the deal now, before the stars vanish!” Because when the celebrity’s eyes are about to “fade” (whatever that means), you’ll want to grab the items while heat is still high.
Takeaway
In the digital age, the line between ‘shopping’ and ‘sizzling entertainment’ shrinks. Shopee and Lazada are not just selling products; they’re selling a vibe. Welcome to a new era of “shop‑and‑shop.” Enjoy the hilarity, embrace the hype, and maybe, just maybe, snag that limited‑edition ringworm‑wearing cat shirt before it disappears.
