This is my collection of photographs from my visits to the farms at Lim Chu Kang. These vegetable, fish and animal farms are in a secluded area of Western Singapore where the cemeteries and army camps are. Most are accessible only by private transportation. The place where we can get ...
I bet the first definition of "mistress" that comes to your mind is a female lover of a married man or a kept woman - a woman who is owned and used by a man. I don't blame you. That's the definition in the dictionary. However, the word mistress is originally the feminine equivalent of...
"Buy it if you can afford it." This is what many people would advise if I share with them my dilemma over buying something. But what is the criteria for being able to "afford" something? Does it mean having the ready cash to pay for it in full, being able to pay for it by installment,...
It's daylight robbery! People with money deposited in Cyprus bank will find themselves 6.75% or 9.9% poorer. And now the banks aren't even open because they don't want people withdrawing their money. [Read more ] Depositors with under 100,000 euros deposited must pay 6.75% Those with ...
However I must qualify the water view being more along the water views I have experienced here in the Great Lakes. Sunlight can glare from the water, but only for a short time each day. No busy harbors here full of noisy boats. Lake freighters are seen in the distance quietly going fr...
Although it's creative, do they know what spaghetti is?? The picture shows Maggie mee! What's wrong with wearing a spaghetti-strapped or tank top a jacket over it? I'm wearing a tank top inside That would still look smarter than a sloppy long-sleeved knit top. I think some dress codes...
"I didn't sleep at all," he would say. "But you did sleep. You were snoring!" This is a dialogue I've had many times with a boyfriend or a friend sharing the same room or sitting beside me on the plane/bus. The person would insist that he/she didn't sleep a wink despite having been br...
I believe that a person's true character is revealed at the end of the relationship - be it a personal or professional one. At the start of each one, people are on their best behavior because it is in their best interest to behave well. However, when the relationship sours or comes to...
A colleague asked me this question, "I've been in Singapore for some time and I've seen local women with Caucasian men but I've never seen Caucasian women with local men. Why?" I'm sure you know the first thought that came to my mind! However, this is my colleague so I had to respond ...
Entrepreneurship has been promoted by the Singapore government for many years. I hear about students studying about it in school and courses conducted for it. I think it's a load of BS. I acknowledge that over the past 10 years, the government has made it easier for starts ups to regi...
A male friend commented that some men have ugly penis. I asked him what he meant by ugly. He said that the ones that look like mushrooms - with a larger head than shaft are ugly. I've never defined penises are ugly. Sure, I may think it looks beautiful - only when I'm attracted to the...
Why doesn't anyone say "heterosexual lifestyle"? 2 people can have a gay relationship, or a D/S relationship - just as 2 heterosexuals or "vanillas" can have a relationship. When it comes to sex, the word "lifestyle" is somehow connected to promiscuousness and people assume that those...
Thanks to a comment posted on my blog post that the Singapore government supports animal testing , I found out (a year late) that Estee Lauder started testing on animals to comply with the Chinese government's requirement for animal testing for beauty products before it can be sold in...
I've not been actively searching for a partner in the past 2 years. Why? Several reasons. 1. I was busy and exhausted with work. 2. I did not feel like I needed or wanted a partner. 3. I don't see attractive Singaporean Chinese man around in my daily life, e.g. at Raffles Place during...
Research has shown that people tend to be depressed during winter when there is lack of sunlight. We don't have winter here in Singapore but I tend to feel my problems amplified after the sun sets or when I wake up in the middle of the night than during the day. Then I get some sleep ...
Normal adults usually only refer to someone else as a "boy" or a "girl" if: - the person is a child, - the person looks young and they mean it with fondness or in a friendliness, or - they regard the person as someone with lower social status. I've had colleagues at work refer to me a...

My friend showed me parts of her text conversation with a guy. From the very beginning she already found him boring. The responses he gives are responses I've read a hundred times from other guys: unoriginal. An auto-message generator would probably spit out the same response. E.g. wh...

I know you haven't seen me in a while but that's not because I'd grown fat or lazy! I started a new job in April 2012. I had been so busy with work that I lost weight. I'm now 47kg. My work has stabilized now and I have time to go to exercise after work and on weekends. I'm with Fitne...
"Whenever I am asked to speak at wedding dinners, I always advise the groom to do three things: Be faithful to his wife, treat her as if they were still courting and give her all his money. The last advice does not apply in cases where the wife is a spender and not a saver," says Prof...

It's been a long time since I've lifted weights regularly. Since I started my new job, I had been too busy and too tired to go to the gym (the one near my place gets too crowded and smelly after 5pm). I did jog periodically but only at medium intensity. It was only in the past month, ...
I have been wanting to buy a new computer as a replacement for my 5-year old computer attached to 6-year old monitor (which has a spoilt component: the capacitor is spoilt so I have to turn the monitor on and off about 20 times before it works). Only my 7200RPM harddisk drive is new (...
I tore out the fold-a-heart sheet from the free Today newspaper. But I'm not quite into art and craft so I have no idea how to fold a heart. Thankfully, there was a link to a page where I could "fold" an electronic heart by clicking a few buttons. This is also better for the environme...
"All of us are crazy - just to different extents," my friend commented. The Barclays head of Asia-Pacific FX strategy went berserk and threatened workers at a work-site near his home. He got fired for his public outburst. [Read more] Some of us might wonder: how in the world does some...
Beginning with the end in mind: dating is a waste of time. For people who want to have children or money from their spouse (or cash-pooling to buy things such as property or cars) dating is a means to that end. However, for those who have no strong desire to have children and no need ...
Some people say it's a matter of tradition. Others say it's a matter of thoughtfulness, gender roles, masculinity, etc, whatever! I don't just think the man should pay on the first date; I think he should foot the bill on every date. Of course it can be argued that because "independen...
