Don’t worry, its not a 700 year long Enduro. It’s just a nickname for a trail The Husband and I found after a few fruitless searches. Its so nicknamed because where we started, there’s a sign that has some Thai writing, the word ‘Enduro’ and ‘700′ plus the word ‘Year’ written in Thai behind the ...

Dear Taxi Driver on Upper East Coast Road,Please excuse my husband’s road rage. He’s just angry that Singapore isn’t Thailand. However, having said that, when you signal right on a one lane road, we’d expect you to turn right. Not attempt to merge left into our car as soon as you see us pull up ...

There’s the Asian Youth Energy Summit on October 30th this year. Being in the green energy industry as well as an utter geek about anything sustainable energy related, I really do want to attend.

Whats the reason behind my aching feet, heat addled brain and lack of sleep or blogging for the past three days? The Bus and Truck Motorshow ‘08 at BITEC Bangna, of course. I do realise that not everyone loves big trucks and new alternative fuel technology like I do. Even for me, the show was ...

After posting on 101 omelets with the aloo gobi omelet, I realised that I have not done a n00b to nerd entry in a long, long time. Since eggs are pretty much a fast food, I’d say this is perfect for the second n00b to nerd installament.Omelets are well simply eggs, whisked with a little ...

Drenched in syrup or jam. Mmmm.I think the best pancakes ever are in Krabi at Mom's Kitchen. Yummy. Mom makes pancakes as big as a dinner plate and about an inch thick. They come with …

I just read an article by Jess Weiner on Dove. It does remind me of what a position young women and even mature women today are in. We are in quite a position here, sandwiched in between the feminism that asks us to behave like men and the feminism that tells us we must spurn ...
