Ok, I was exaggerating. I won’t die from the cough. Not yet anyway. But I was in risk of bursting a blood vessel this afternoon. Imagine the frustration of driving around for an hour, wasting time, effort and petrol, and then not achieving anything. And there was that full bladder and...
How much do you love your company? Would you get a tattoo of your company’s logo or product? Well, the Ad Agency for MINI asked their client that question and here’s their answer. I hope my boss don’t see this video. It’s not that I don’t love my company. I’m just not a tattoo person....
Rio is an upcoming 3D computer-animated film about birds. Jesse Eisenberg, last seen in The Social Network , voices the part of Blu, a nerdy and cowardly but kind-hearted and funny macaw. And there’s Anne Hathaway too. But what makes this project so so so cool, is that they’ve joined ...
We’ve been hearing for quite some time about movie based on Angry Bird. Well, Rovio Mobile just released the trailers for the movie Angry Birds Rio. Angry Birds Rio opens in theaters 14 April 2011. No mention of 3D, but I won’t be surprised if it is. Wouldn’t it be nice to see the Ang...
…Solomon Burke finally breaks free. The 33 miners near Copiapó, Chile, trapped 700 metres underground in a mining accident in San José Mine, are brought back to the surface after surviving for a record 69 days. Coincidentally, the International Space Station surpasses the record for t...
![[Latest Recipe] Braised Mushrooms with Abalone. Easy CNY recipe using canned abalone](http://static.sgblogs.com/assets/pages/f1/f9/f1f925cbc7a248c38c4096cbd36eae5c_100.jpg)
posting spree with the holiday just peeping around the corner. Many people like to buy canned abalone during this season as it’s a sign of auspiciousness (“年年包有余”), and also because ’tis the season to indulge in luxurious food. You can see canned abalones flying off the shelves these ...
It’s actually quite high up. If you hold your phone, your hands usually won’t cover the top half of the phone. I can’t get my hand to cover the second mic unless I hold it in a really strange way… The swipe is actually not all the way at the bottom. There is more screen below the swip...
is much more affordable than I thought. The five of us ordered two servings of pork and chicken ($18 each), Grilled Fish ($22), Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup ($25), Kim Chi Pancakes ($14), and we paid about $23 per person. Obviously, it helps to have a group of friends so that we can or...
It is rare to find a hotel that is a destination in her own right. Referring Le Royal Monceau as a hotel would have been an insult to the art world. A creative environment where artists, poets, actors, and musicians once met and exchanged ideas, Le Royal Monceau was the melting pot of...
, Nadya is the ambassador for the World Wildlife Funds Earth Hour in Singapore. To further reinforce her passion in eco-living, Nadya launched her own sustainable jewelry line, O-SEL (“clear light” in Tibetan). As I listened to her explain to me the concept of ethnical diamond mining,...
Nowadays, our kids probably know more about Mochi than Ang Ku Kueh. When I was a kid, everyone knows about Ang Ku Kueh, especially if you are Hokkien. You know what I am talking about right? That Ang Ku Kueh song that starts with a Monk knocking on an olive: Orh Ni Gu, Kok Ka Nah, (Mo...
It is 13th February 1942, the Japanese troops that stormed through Malaya have invaded Singapore. Approaching Singapore City from the west, a seasoned Japanese army is forced to engage the small force of the Malay Regiment on the high ground of Pasir Panjang Ridge. A fierce battle ens...
There was a CNY gathering to attend and a concert to watch. And there were the usual pre-CNY chores to be done. Everything was cancelled because I’m not feeling well. Apart from the coughing and sneezing, the nails inside my left foot were protesting against the chilly weather.
SM Entertainment announced plans for Intel and Girls’ Generation partnership recently. SNSD and Intel will be starting a variety of campaigns for Asian consumers. Intel’s new product, the ‘Second Generation Intel Core Processor Family,’ will feature SNSD’s urban and impressive visuals...
Lee Kuan Yew urges local Muslims to 'be less strict' Sin Chew Jit Poh, 23 Jan 2011 Singapore's founding father Lee Kuan Yew has urged local Muslims to "be less strict on Islamic observances" to... Mahathir's Comments Riled Singapore Malays Bernama.com, 20 Jan 2011 SINGAPORE, Jan 20 (B...
In any case you are wondering, the Phat Thai from Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant is very good, in fact, I preferred it to the one that I had at Ah Loy Thai . When it comes to Phat Thai, I like it slightly sweet, with a generous helping of raw bean-sprouts and crunchy peanut. With an ex...
It is amusing how this malicious internet troll BryanT continues to attack the SDP here. Two weeks ago he tried to attack Tian Jing but then scuppered away like a coward! Today he goes after Shamin, trying to link him with his party's uh...non-alternative economic program and failure ...
They’re building a kelong-like structure around the Merlion and (wtf) turning it into a hotel suite , and this is what it’s going to look like. No word on whether they’ll keep the water running, so it’s like a spa or something. No, wait! A bidet! Japanese guests would like that...
After that, together we tackled the kitchen. Mum offered to cook Nasi Lemak as a back up food (in case anyone didn’t like Italian food) and so it started, the peeling, the chopping, the frying, the squabbling. And eventually the kitchen looked like a war-zone with the sambal splatter ...
This was an invitation to a food-tasting session. There is no hard and fast rule stating a plus one for a food tasting. However having attended previous food tastings before, I assumed that the meal would be, at the very least, on the house for myself and one dining partner. I was not...
Back in June 2nd, Melanie invited Brad for a food tasting session. Brad replied politely (you can see email exchanges on the previous link above), and on August 20th, inquired if the offer is still valid. HE DID NOT WALK IN AND DEMAND FREE FOOD. It was an INVITATION . Obviously someon...
Hard Truths 1. You may never get to vote in this lifetime. Hard Truths 2. Those who CAN vote will complain & complain about the Govt but when elections come, will end up voting them back in. Hard Truths 3. People want an opposition in parliament but not in THEIR estate please. Hard Tr...
We knew this day will arrive back in the late 1980s. IPv4 armageddon is coming. And it will arrive in a matter of weeks (or even days). Only seven unallocated IPv4 blocks remain available, or less than 3% of the IPv4 address space. An IP address is a unique code that every computer, w...
On the suggestion of a friend, I popped over to The Singapore Love Poll (singaporelovepoll.sg ) to take their fun little quiz. I was skeptical at first (gahmen etc etc) but it really was quite cute. You can try it whether you are married or single, male or female. The quiz asks you so...
I only ever listen to the radio while driving, or when one of our friends is hosting a radio show. But this year, the stations (except the lonely non-Mediacorp ones) have been constantly reminding listeners that radio in Singapore is 75 years old. They’ve been airing radio ...
I love Phong Piah, don't you? I think they are probably my most favourite biscuits in the world. I could eat several of these with a cup of Teh Tarik and be a very happy man. My fondest Phong Piah memory must be when I first ate it fresh out of the oven in Malacca. I can't remember th...
I find the most common offenders are businesses or organizations who have decided to jump on the twitter bandwagon and immediately choose to follow everyone they possibly can. Big mistake. I think a twitter following is something you have to cultivate slowly and it has to be targeted....
Group deals seems like a huge success now! You keep seeing the deals coming in from the various websites. Three companies that currently offer things I like are http://hungrydeals.sg/, http://www.groupon.sg/ and http://superdeals.insing.com/. They somehow tempt you that you just want ...
