I've personally never really read the book of the same title but I do know they are cautious to remind us that our gene's act "selfishly" not out of a conscious endevor but by insticnt (self-preservation and all that jazz...). Something about it being part of Darwinian evolutionary yah-dah yah-dah yah-dah and how its the fundamental "point" of all genes to self-preserve and …

I have a theory about people. Some people believe that we change with time and we get stronger, we get weaker. We get better and we get worse. Some even believe that we can reform, or conversely, backslide into the dark abyss.I believe that a person never changes. The core of a person remains though the manifestation of that core may differ. Whether we're innately good or …

Those of you who watch Little Britain will know the segment with "Mister Man", the guy who asks for nonsense in a shop. This is about Miss Man. Only it's her real name. Which I found out by looking at her credit card. And this is the story of why I did that.The other day, I was at NTUC buying hand wipes (those things that people use to wipe baby's asses) and the counters were …
I'm proud of being a Singapore PR, I really am. I'm happy I live here. It's safe, it's clean, it's efficient. And every year (like most Singaporeans), I will always try to get my hands on NDP tickets. So far I've only been to one parade. I think that was in 2005 where the parade was still at the Padang. I didn't manage to get any tickets for last year, the first time the …
Facebook is the most wonderful site ever! Seriously! I've managed to find (and be found) by old friends that have shared many happy memories together. And so we start messaging each other, trying to catch up with more than 10 years worth of our lives in a few messages and it just amazes me the misconceptions people have had of me. It's got me thinking about why they do that …
A friend and I were talking about marriage a few weeks ago. She's 25, been with her boyfriend for about 2 years, and I think he's brought the topic up, and she's avoided it. She's a really really nice girl, and I quite like him too. Not THAT kind of way ok? As a person. I think he's good for her, and good to her.But she's really afraid of the big M. We talked about rising …
I was happily enjoying my pedicure, then as my toenails were drying I heard a man's voice beside me. As in behind the privacy curtain that had been drawn to give me some privacy.I don't remember much of the conversation but it was definitely A MAN having a pedicure, not just one accompanying his wife/girlfriend. And he wasn't complaining either. The curtain only allowed me to …
I'm sure you guys can remember the 'Hello Kitty Phenomenon' which resulted in people queuing and camping outside the McDonalds outlets throughout the island, and even resulting in fights and broken windows just to get their hands on limited edition annoying Hello Kitty dolls. And of course the fanatic-foodies who will will contribute to the snake-like queue in Raffles City …
The following poster was introduced in 1919 to deter the men from getting pissed drunk. So the ladies got together and came up with this:With the women looking like that, it's not a wonder that the men kept drinking! Seriously, who could blame them! HAHAH!
Oh gosh!I am so embarrassed at a person's incompetency that I seriously wish that I was an ostrich, so that I can bury my entire head in the ground!OK, I know, I'm not being very realistic.I guess the next best alternative is a brown bag. Please remind me to have one in my bag at all times for emergency embarrassing situations!
I couldn't figure out what I wanted for my birthday this year. And when I moved into my very own room at the office, I knew exactly what I wanted. [Yes, I procrastinated for more than 3 months to decide what I wanted]An iPod Dock!So for a few weeks, my Darling and I went on an iPod Dock Hunt. There are about a million iPod docks out on the market now and they come in all …
As expected the whole weekend was declared Lets Be Obsessed With Aly's Toenails!I think my parents were beaming with the same pride as they watched me receive my degree during my graduation ceremony in Australia when they saw my pretty toenails.My Daddy gave me a big toothless grin (yeah, he forgot his dentures again!) when I plonked my foot on the dashboard. Lucky he didn't …
I am absolutely not your typical girl who is all prim and proper, I am never the kind that would spend time in front of the mirror dolling myself up for work everyday, I am not the kind of girl who owns every single type of high heels in her shoe closet, I am not the kind of girl who would bother changing her handbag to suit her outfit everyday.Although sometimes I wish I …

OK, so the psychic in all of us knew that no matter what, a David would be crowned the next American Idol. I don't know about you but I seriously love both the Davids. I would bring them home if I could I tell you.David Archuleta is a fantastic young man bursting with talent and David Cook has the creativity that the music industry craves for. To me (and even Simon), both of …
