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 [...]
Did You Catch The Glee Flash Mob At Orchard Singapore?
February 14th, 2011 8 Comments
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 [...]

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 [...]

Building A Smarter Planet
October 27th, 2010 8 Comments
This evening, we discovered a new stall inside Thomson Plaza food court selling Thai food, advertised as “Gourmet Thai food”. Gourmet-ness is relative. But inside a food court that sells hopelessly tasteless food, this new stall has way exceeded my expectation. Over dinner, towards the end of a sumptuous gourmet meal , I recalled that I had [...]

Dear SBY – Indonesia On Fire And Singapore In Smoke
October 21st, 2010 17 Comments
Dear SBY: I am a huge fan of you. I voted for you to be the next Indonesia president – in my heart. The same thing I did for Obama years later. Guess what? Both of you have won. I knew somehow, by the power of the invisible universal linkages, my vote counts. Anyway, back to [...]

Nokia N8 – A Promising First Look
October 20th, 2010 3 Comments
Some of you have asked if I have had the opportunity to touch and feel the upcoming Noka N8. I would have, had I not missed the last few Nokia blogger events. Some personal commitments still take priority. And thanks to your inquiries, I have gathered enough courage to give Text100 a ring to see if a [...]
