The outage doesn't look like it has been solved as of 2.30pm.

1. You thought it was your own fault but turns out it was Singtel's fault reaction:

The number of "no wonders" are too damn high.

2. All it takes is for the Internet to go down and life is in disarray reaction:

When SG Secure initiative was launched, no one foresaw the Internet going down as a fundamental threat to Singapore's delicate fabric of life.

3. Why am I so unlucky reaction

Buy 4D tonight.

4. The schadenfreude reaction

Looks like these are the real lottery winners.

5. The blame the Chinese and Russians reaction

Must be the hackers.

6. The philosophical reaction

Can see some hair growing on plenty of chins this morning from all that massaging and caressing.

7. The realisation that all telcos are connected one way or another reation

In Singapore, everything is connected.

These are the realists.
