What a coincidence. Those who have read my manuscript submitted for the Golden Point Award writing competition would be in awe by the similarity of how my story begins and the recent media sensation in New Zealand. I can assure you that my idea is original. The first draft of my story was written [...]

Doctor And Nurses’ Tips On Eating In Singapore Food Courts, Radio DJs And Audiences’ Take On Love and Medals
July 27th, 2011 15 Comments
It was food poisoning, my doctor said to me. I was not surprised, judging at the symptoms I have since last night. Where did you eat, he asked. It was a food court at Sim Lim Square where I had mutton soup, I answered. The food court is merely a block away from where the [...]

My Google+ invite came in a good timing. I am seldom an early adopter when it comes to technology. I have yet to install a webcam for my computer. When I first signed up for Google+, I was curious, in a healthily skeptical way. The timing was good because as CNN has recently reported, some of [...]

I Am Ready To Vote
May 6th, 2011 No Comments
These two weeks have been tiring, from Nomination Day to the eve of Election Day. I have not attended a single rally. But I have spent much time watching the recorded videos on YouTube, reading publications from both the mainstream and the alternative sources. I feel as though my politico-meter has shot up from zero [...]
F1 Malaysia – An Afterthought
April 12th, 2011 2 Comments
How powerful is KERS, the magic turbo button of a F1 car? Powerful enough for a horde of cars to effortlessly overtake Webber – third on the grid – at the start of the race. I felt for Webber, especially after watching the video clip filmed from his angle. By the time the cars reached [...]

F1 Australia – An Afterthought
March 28th, 2011 6 Comments
Formula One is a world sport. An expensive one. And it does get affected by what is happening in the world today. The first race of the year supposed to take place in Bahrain. On March 13. But that did not happen. The Bahrain people have a future to fight for. F1 could well be [...]

Did You Catch The Glee Flash Mob At Orchard Singapore?

Cynthia and I are known as “the late couple”, especially so during weekends. There are hundred and one things to do such as not wanting to get out of bed (that is Cynthia), not able to get back to sleep after waking up ridiculously early (that is I), spending too much time reading the papers over [...]

Dear SMRT – This Fine Idea Is Not Too Fine Eh?
December 11th, 2010 6 Comments
What a crazily busy week at work, and hence the lack of frequent updates. I wish I was sipping lemon juice by a swimming pool full of gorgeous looking babes holidaying somewhere at the Mediterranean sea and hey, THAT was the reason I have not been writing lately. OK. I have to start separating what is in my head from [...]

Peranakan Museum – A Trendy And Happening Boutique Museum In Singapore
November 24th, 2010 4 Comments
Picture this with me. Across the road, you have found the entrance to a museum. It is your first visit. Outside the museum, there are stalls crowded with curious shoppers, genuine shoppers of all ages. Stepping inside, the high ceiling hall is brightly lit filled with youngsters dressed in trendy clothing socializing with one another, [...]

David Archuleta, And The N8 Launch Event By SingTel And Nokia
November 15th, 2010 8 Comments
Looking back, I think it was the little disagreements that glued Cynthia and I to American Idol. Cynthia supported Elliott Yamin and I, Katharine McPhee. We would debate for days that (a) I was not staring at McPhee’s boobs and mesmerized by her look and (b) I thought McPhee really sang well and sang really well. But [...]
