A very terrible thing happened yesterday. While I was reading A. A. Gill, The Husband came up to me and said "Make me an egg sandwich." And dear reader, I said the worst thing possible."What kind?"Good lord. Do you smell the smoke and hear the gun powder exploding?

from GizmodoConsidering that the new HDB flats are becoming little more than a shoebox that fits a sofa set and a queen sized bed, and I’m not just talking about the one room apartments, I’m talking about the so-called five room ones, these might be essential for the new homeowner of Singapore.

Well, its not Christmas yet, thank heavens, but after a day of sneezing violently, getting the shakes and cold sweat yesterday, this morning, I woke up feeling somewhat better. Somewhat. Then came breakfast and after ingesting water and fried rice, I feel worse. I think I might have a stomach bug. Well, if I do, ...

Found a fro-yo shop at Holland Village after having Pho there for a hangover cure. As much of a fro-yo addict as I am, its only so-so in Singapore. Until someone wisens up and brings in mochi toppings, that is. But I DO dig the cup at this shop, Frolick. Its so colorful and happy.I ...

But there are days when my love for Gizmodo is renewed. Like today. Check out these beauties I found while surfing Gizmodo:Chrome Espresso Maker via Gizmodo, via Appliancist, via ...

Absolutely adorable video on Youtube. Props to my baby sister for sending it to me.Just for the note, I'll state that I'm staunchly behind Obama. I used to be a Clinton supporter (both the he and she Clintons) but since Obama is the one running for president, I'll get behind him.

It’s because I am now FAT.*ducks from the ...

Now that The Husband and I have started working, I've started making lunches for us. Most of my inspiration comes from bento blogs, especially Just Bento, the recipes there are really simple and everything is workable and not at all as intimidating as the idea of packing alunch within 15 minutes should be. Its not just about saving money, considering that food sold in …

Three years ago, after reading food …
