The Hostel Elite(tm)'s Korean steamboat BBQ treat at City Hall marked the 6th (free) buffet meal I've had in the past two weeks. I'll never forget the hostel days, working out at the gym, making friends with all the foreigners, and going through the patented Pakseng judoka training programme. Oh yes, and studying. It seems so long ago now, when we were still students with no …

I hated all my aunties and uncles for pinching my cheeks in the past. I think I understand why they did it now.

After almost a year of abstaining from my usual exercise schedule and adopting unhealthy eating habits (including a new craving for all things chocolate), I've finally made the momentous decision to switch the two around. The effects have been all too clear - the now all-too-familiar loss of breath while jogging/swimming/kicking soccer, the love handles overflowing at the …

I feel like Morgan Spurlock, who spent 30 days surviving solely on food from Mac's. My past week has been one buffet meal after another, sometimes twice a day, as I bid my goodbyes to friends and loved ones before my flight to the UK. And if there's one thing I don't have, it's self control. Especially at the dining table. I literally ate myself breathless for every meal on …

Last night I went to this really cool Science Centre-like place. The main objective was to mimic molecules in a solid when it is being heated up. That means you pick your spot in a giant crowd of people and then just vibrate on the spot. Yes, vibrate, because there's no space to do anything else. The fun part is squeezing your way in. Everyone's vibrating so close to each …

This guy was harder to draw. But most of the problems I faced were technical (I'm using GIMP), like how to make the canvas bigger without having those irritating grey boxes. I want more pa …
