Y2K – ♥ THE MILLENIUM
How long ago was it that ty1pin lyk3 diz waz an IRC norm?
Where have the Y2K times gone?
We loved the Y2K. We miss the times where everyone thought the earth was going to explode the minute 1999 became 2000, the Y2K AKA the Millenium.
What was your favourite Y2K song? Was it Will Smith’s rapping in his song, Y2K? Did you know all the lyrics to it? Was it Aqua? Do you still secretly play Cartoon Heroes in your car?

Abbreviations were a huge part of the Y2K. It made the Y2K unqiue.
Can you imagine typing Laugh Out Loud or Laughing My Ass Off every-time you wanted to LOL or LMAO (pronounced as LE-MAO IRL (In Real Life)) on the wonderful WWW? OIC translated into a cool Oh, I see.
Abbreviations opened up many opportunities for us and gave us a chance to translate emotions into reality immediately. Utilizing only the most minimal of finger activity, you won’t believe how much time abbreviating saves you.
If you’re sick of the LMAOs and the FYIs, here are other cool ways to abbreviate to be on top of the game :
Thank You, Cutie-Pie = 10QQTP
Care For a Drink? = C4AD?
Hey I Really Like Your Tank Top = HIRLYT²
Do You Like Your Beer Bottled Or On Tap? = DYLYB²O²T
I Will Be Heading Home First Just For Your Information = IWBH²FJFYI
Don’t be too ambitious. Start with shorter sentences and as you progress, you will be surprised at your amazing ability to guess ANY abbreviation thrown at you. Practice makes perfect!

When will our memories from Y2K become hip again?
Still Ravin’ On?
How long ago was it that every kid on the block was spotting these shirts from House of Holland? The staple clothing during the earlier days of RSG parties, you would have thought HOH was giving them away for free as door gifts.
Well we at WBKL have sure been guilty of owning at least one of those. But lately it’s been stinging our eyes, which leads us to the next question.
Fashion Faux Pas Forever More or will it do a Comeback Kid? I mean, look at where wide legged pants are at right now..
For the Love of Singapore
You might think we should have better things to update about. Our Little Miss Best Dressed entry can wait till tomorrow…
Because not everyone is that patriotic.

Somehow, through the years of singing pretty corny National days songs in school, sticking faux Singapore Flag tattoos on our faces, and turning the big 2-0, the magic of National Day is still not lost.
Just like Christmas, where you grow up and realise Christmas is not all about receiving presents or waiting for sleigh bells ringing, National Day is not about wearing red and white clothes, or knowing the lyrics to the sometimes corny theme song for the year (Corny or not, sometimes we catch ourselves singing it…..)
National Day is really just a day to be proud of being Singaporean. Most importantly, to be grateful and appreciative of living the life we are able to live in Singapore.
We enjoyed our ride to town that day as we were unable to get tickets for the parade. We made do with TV Mobile in the comfort of Bus No.14, sharing the same pride as every other commuter who had their eyes glued to the screen.
Tights.. are not Pants
I’m sure for all of us who read fashion magazines, or live in the 21st century for that matter, have some point or other came across articles slamming girls wearing tights as pants. Or maybe some/or majority of you have slammed innocent girls on the street daunting what most people call fashion disasters.
A simple search on google would probably give you results as such.
Deemed a serious, inexcusable issue to some (or, many), it even prompted a website-
Yea.. tights are not pants. That’s cause.. they’re tights.
With earthquakes and terrorist attacks going on, you would think people would find something more serious to hate about. Why do people feel the need to take fashion so seriously? It is only human nature to pass judgement, but there really is no need for such loath. Especially if it’s just a piece of spandex.
People should be able to wear anything they want to. Even if it’s Crocs.
Things We Like to Wear With Tights :
Tanktops
T-shirts
Dr Martens
High-cut sneakers
Socks
Oh we could go on.
