What a great Makan Session we had last Saturday! It was an afternoon of fun and education as we learned about the rules of good dining etiquette! For example, did you know that when the bread basket hits the table that it is the lady who will pick it up and offer it to the others arou...
The Formula One race each September speaks of what’s wrong with the Singapore model — buttering up the elite while making life miserable for the ordinary guy. A large part of our downtown is barricaded for weeks in advance of the race with fencing like in the picture above. Pedestrian...

Cart and I were at the dentist’s recently and I can’t help but to notice this : Isn’t it cute? The illustration plays on the word “dente” which means tooth in Italian. See if you can spot some familiar Italian words. The tooth with the permanent hair was such a riot!
I find it mind-numbing that Channel 8 keeps producing cross-dressing personalities. First, it was Liang PoPo, then it was the aunite called Liang Simei, I cannot remember anymore in-between, and now it's Auntie Lucy... For 20 freaking years, they repeat the same formula. Unlike Kumar,...
in Brisbane was one of the first places I went to as soon as I arrived in Australia. It was a great market. I was tired after a long flight but managed to snap a few shots of my experience. If I lived in Brisbane, I would come here every week.
Someone brought my attention to this interesting video in the comments section. The only other developed country with comparable income inequality as Singapore is the USA. They have numerous social programmes to mitigate the effects of the income gap such as Medicaid for sick, unemplo...

There is an old management adage which says that "you cannot manage what you cannot measure". This saying may be true in all parts of a company, but is especially pertinent in finance. We've read so much about companies and businesses going under due to poor financial management. By c...

instead but while I was passing by the Ban Leong booth, I saw the Harmony 300 going for just SGD$49, the usual retail price is SGD$69. It is SGD$20 cheaper than the RRP and only SGD$10 more expensive than the Harmony 200. I will regret it if I don’t get it at that price!

I always associate the word "kaya" with the jam that we spread on bread every morning. So when my friends told me what I was making was actually Pandan Kaya Cake, I gave them a confused look. Whatever it is, for this recipe, I use fresh pandan leaves to be blended with water. I like t...

We were at the Kite Festival 2011. We didn’t fly any kite though. We didn’t participate in the kite workshop either. Neither the kites nor the scenic view created any excitement in Darren that day. INSTEAD. He was more interested helping out with the set-up of a huge banner because of...

The After-Cost Effect of Daily Follow-Through by Student on September 7, 2011 I have examined the naive DFT strategy in a prior post. Only recently have I been able to quantify just how astounding the figures are if you trade the strategy cost-free. Starting with $2,000 in 1975, you e...
