I’m sure most Singaporeans are familiar with the yearly Philips Carnival sale. It’s more like a festival here with the Philips development centre bustling with crowds that are busy hooting the best deals from unsold Philips products. It’s usually conducted every September, but this year, it’s in May.I’m pretty sure this is due to the ...
Dang.. I can't believe this. Some guy suggested more seats to be removed from trains so that more people can be packed into them. Obviously this was a pretty straight forward solution for the authorities. You need less maintenance and you don't need to increase train frequencies. I can see that world class transport means packing more people in public vehicles Passenger …

I visited the new JB checkpoint for the first time yesterday. I decided to give my clutch foot a rest and took a bus there. On my way there, I was pleased to notice that the whole “old” immigration area on the Malaysia’s side was clear with very little cars. As the bus went towards ...
What is this country coming to.. when you’re walking down the safe streets in Singapore and someone asks you if you are a Singaporean! There’s nothing technically wrong with that question but it’s been happening too many times to me. There are too many expats in Singapore that as an Indian, I’m easily mistaken for ...
Ok, now don’t get mad at me. I’ve always wanted to do a “separated at birth” feature. Inspired mainly by magazines .No offense to anyone here but is it just me or everyone else thinks the 2 above share *some* features? There is a scientific theory about man evolving from apes…
Once again, I decided to spend my good money in JB for obvious reasons. I was out for 13 hours and made my rounds in my favorite places like City Square and Tebrau City. When me and my wife headed for breakfast, it was sad to know that our regular prata joint is closed and ...
I was just strolling along Orchard road earlier this evening at about 10.30pm and a group of people standing around a zebra crossing beside Lucky Plaza (Scotts road) caught my eye. I knew something was not right. As I approached the area, I saw a champagne-gold Toyota Altis crashed right into a pedestrian barrier, at ...
I was free today and apparently my friend Javier was in town from Perth and we decided to head down to Dallas Chicken for a buffet meal. We heard about Dallas Chicken from various blogs and thought it was a pretty good deal, considering that both of us are heavy eaters. Initially we ended up ...
I've been pretty pissed on this. As some of you have heard, the members of Federation of Western Indian Cine Employees are on strike, asking for higher pay from the TV producers. You can imagine how many viewers are affected world wide!I've been getting repeat telecasts for all programs on the 3 main Hindi channels which I've got, namely Sony Entertainment TV, Zee TV and …
It's yet another season whereby HTC releases another revolutionary product (it's like every 6mths or so!) I've been known to change phone every 6mths, and here's my view on whether I will stick to my current Touch Diamond or dump it for the new Touch HD: I shall run through the major specs and do comparison with the Touch Diamond to gauge how good it'll be:Qualcomm 7201A …
I was at Suntec City last weekend for a sale and happened to use one of the toilets. Being a convention center at a strategic location, it’s a pretty “high-class” place c …
I just ported by Singtel landline onto Starhub, because of their interesting offer. A free VeCM (voice-enabled cable modem) is also given, and that comes to a total of 3 cable modems in my house now This was done 4 days ago, but the problem is still not fixed by Starhub now. Well, here’s ...
Despite this news flooding the “blog-lines” this morning, I had to post this to show my grief for the king whom I started listening from much younger days. His tunes were simply awesome, and I got hooked to all his albums in no time. I started with his Dangerous album, and backtracked to Bad album ...
Looks like Mumbai is another major magnet for terrorism. Yesterday, yet another attack added on to the string of terror events in India.Police said there were at least 80 people killed and 250 injured. Apparently, the police seems to be proud of their work: shooting down 4 gunmen and getting 11 of their men killed. The way I see it, its 80 versus 4. Perhaps it's just the way …
I first read about this movie in the newspapers where it was mentioned that it was nominated for various awards. Despite having my all time favorite actor Anil Kapoor, I didn’t pay much attention to it. Only until recently where it won 4 Golden Globe awards, including best original score by AR Rahman, I decided ...
Couple of months ago, I visited Polar puffs & cakes at Bishan Junction 8 outlet to inquire about a job opening there for someone. Apparently they were hiring and I decided to check them out since I was shopping in the vicinity. One of the staff told me they required experience, ability to speak English, etc, etc. The pay was fairly low too (not ....
I just finished listening to Armin Van Buuren's ASOT yearmix 2008. ASOT (A State of Trance) is Armin's weekly radio show, featuring mixes of trance and progressive tracks from various producers and DJs. I always look forward to YearMixes, as it contains favorites of the whole year, all wrapped up in a special 2 hour show. That's 80 favorite ....
Like I mentioned in my earlier post, I watched Inkheart 3 days ago in JB. I was skeptical about this movie at first as I’m not a fantasy person, but upon reading the synopsis, I found it interesting. It’s basically about a guy and his daughter who are called “silvertongues”, meaning they have the abilities ...
