Went climbing this morning on the 2nd day of my holiday. Pretty fast in executing my plan huh?If you think the weather is hot, wait till you get onto the wall and start grabbing on the holds for dear life. The holds were being baked in the sun whole morning long and the moment you grab onto them, you just wanted to let go of your hands. I swear if you bring some beef and egg …

Yesterday my mother bought back some roasted duck for lunch, and what goes better with roasted duck than alcohol? We had some Guinness stout and Murphy's stout, so might as well sample both and compare.First my brother opened up the can of Guinness and the black liquid came spraying out.

I told her it is just a few minutes walk from the interchange (in fact it is just beside the interchange!), but she insisted to take a bus. So I told her to …

I was on my way home at Boon Lay bus interchange when 3 (quite good looking) girls surrounded me. One of them touched my arm and asked in Chinese,Hi, can you do me a small favour?Are you working or studying?I'm going home.The girls weren't wearing any uniform, and they weren't carrying any clipboard in their hands. What did they want from me?Should have played along with …

This is going to sound weird, but does anyone know where to buy a good Chinese cooking wok in Singapore? I am pushing my old wok to the limit each day and the replacement that my mother bought is rusting on cooking oil. -_-"I am looking for commercially off the shelf solution (COTS), so please don't ask me to design a wok and come up with engineering drawings, send them …
