    Gotta love Singapore's efficiency. 12 hours polling. Queueing time 2 - 10mins. Sample results start coming out 2 hours later. #GE2015

    Social media will always be faster in the early stages of breaking news. For mainstream media, it's more important to be right than first.

    The problem with meeting Jerry (from @benandjerrys) this morning is that I just had ice cream for breakfast.

    There's a cluster of @Everton blue at the far end of the @SGSportsHub. Can hear them more than the @Arsenal fans.
