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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

We’ll Vote for Earth Hour, And You?
March 27th, 2009 5 Comments
A farewell lunch, couple of days ago. We dined at an Indian restaurant, next to the Singapore River. Delicious buffet. And we chatted, on the topic of parenthood. With no real experience from my end, I often find the topic far and distant. Maybe my mind was preoccupied with the drafting of this blog entry. That [...]

Singapore Won A Medal, I am Ecstatic
August 17th, 2008 8 Comments
Early this month, I mentioned that Singapore needs more good news. Today, Team Singapore delivers us a silver medal. I don’t know how my fellow citizens feel. I am ecstatic. And in my state of ecstasy, two questions still linger on my mind: What does ‘Singapore will at least get a silver medal’ mean? And how [...]

Singapore Needs More Good News, Perhaps? Happy National Day, and Others
August 9th, 2008 9 Comments
OK. It’s the first time in my life seeing a Singapore flag sticking up from someone’s head. Cynthia couldn’t resist to take a picture; I can’t resist not to share. One great thing about having your website is that you can almost trace back on what you’ve done the same day last year, the year [...]

Singapore General Election 2006
May 7th, 2006 No Comments
All along, I thought I belonged to the Yio Chu Kang Single Member Constituency (YCK SMC) because I am closer to YCK MRT (Mass Railway Transit) than anywhere else. I took my “On Government Service” voting card to Andersen Primary School at late afternoon (voting time was from 8am to 8pm) and surprisingly it was [...]

An Islamic man with multiple wives has repeatedly raped his five teenage girls over a period of 18 months. This man even managed to convince his wives that he had ownership over his [...]
