I am highly tickled by the fuss over the little island sitting in the middle of the South China Sea that is Pedra Branca (literally, White Rock). Singapore has sent an ubelievably stellar team of lawyers (Chief Justice Chan Sek Keang, only the most powerful man in our legal system, and Ambassador-at-large Dr. Tommy Koh, only the most powerful ambassador of Singapore ever.) over to the International Court of Justice in the Netherlands to claim ownership of the rock that, according to the Straits Times, is "football-field sized". Hey, new training ground for our Lions! My guess is that this field is gonna make all our strikers spot-on accurate, otherwise, their hopes of a goal goes literally into the sea. During high-tide, the soccer players can rest in a pineapple under the sea, and the national basketball team can use the now-shrunken court. Multi-purpose sports hall indeed.

Now I am even more amused after reading Wikipedia, which has this to say about Pedra Branca:
Pedra Branca is an outcrop of rocks situated where the Singapore Strait meets the South China Sea, measuring at its longest, during low water spring tide, a mere 137 meters. It is named so for whitish bird droppings seen on the rock in the past. It has a land area of 2,000 m².

A LAVATORY FOR MIGRATORY BIRDS?!
