So you are bored of those usual hang around places and are looking for one that is not only different but filled with a tonne of exciting activities and performances. That area is the Singapore River! Beginning last Friday (yes, once again a late entry), the Singapore River Festival returned for the second year promising ...
Here’s an interesting concoction for you. Take a popular symphonic orchestra, draw music scores from ledgendary video games you could ever think of such as Halo, Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy, throw in special state-of-the-art lighting accompanied by interactive videos of the games, add in the excitement of a rock concert attended by the ...
Last weekend was pretty dramatic for Lyn (my boo) and I as our puppy Omu (well not exactly puppy) went missing after a family member ‘accidentally’ left the door opened. Not knowing that she wandered out of the door, the door was closed and her disappearance was only discovered about six hours later. Bad parenting ...
Last Saturday, my colleagues and I volunteered our services for the opening of one of our favourite signature events, the Great Singapore Sale (GSS). Filled with a tonne of the not so usual compelling deals and best bargains (and alot more), the two-month GSS was highlighted by the annual shopping challenge with more than twenty ...
Lyn (my boo) and I popped over to the Indoor Stadium last Sunday evening to catch the Harlem Globtrotters in action. Dating way back in the mid 1920s, the Harlem Globetrotters have been around before the NBA and with humble beginnings, fighting oppression and segregation due to the nature of their skin. Yes, they really ...
In a bid to mix both pleasure and work, Lyn (my boo) and I popped over to the closing event of the World Gourmet Summit about two weeks ago to meet a media who was in town to cover the Summit. Basically, she eats while I network with the media, good deal for her I ...
For those who are currently looking to take advantage of a really fantastic gourmet meal in a posh set up (for a limited time), I’d suggest you give Yantra a shot. Tucked nicely in the corner of Tanglin Mall, Yantra is a popular fine dining restaurant that serves up a wonderful host of Indian delicacies ...
Thanks to my colleague who scored me a couple of photographer’s passes, my fellow shutterbug colleague Ryan and I popped over to Ngee Ann City last Friday to catch Singapore’s longest-ever catwalk. The event by the Singapore Press Holdings’ (SPH) Female and Nuyou magazine was the start of a three-week campaign called Orchard Reloaded that ...
I know I had earlier sworn never to install any Microsoft operating systems in my Macbook again. My previous adventure was about a little more than a year ago when I installed Windows Vista via Boot Camp. It was an absolute disaster leaving me very much ashamed and with an extremely corrupted hard disk that ...
This is a really short post. Today marks exactly one year in my current organisation. Taking a quick look at what I have accomplished with much sweat, blood and tears, and reviewing what is needed for improvement all thanks to my bosses, seniors and colleagues I must admit this - I think I like it ...
Popped over to Tanglin Mall last Monday morning to withdraw some cash and saw this:Not exactly sure which version they are using but I reckon they might need an upgrade if the system keeps telling you that it is okay to shut down. Thank God for a UOB ATM just a few metres away. I ...
Lyn (my boo) and I popped over to the St. Regis last Sunday to participate in the Chianti Classico Symposium. Similar to last week at the Night Safari, this event is also part of the World Gourmet Summit with “the premier Chianti vintners leading us through a journey of discovering nature and colourful history of ...
Last Sunday morning, I popped over to Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant at the Night Safari for the Norwegian Seafood Brunch featuring Champagne Devaux. The brunch is part of the World Gourmet Summit this year featuring “a delectable spread of the tastiest catch from the Norwegian seas prepared by the partner restaurants”. Adding to the already ...
My colleagues and I popped over to the newly opened Capella a couple of weeks back for a little site visit. I guess it is pretty safe to say that one of the sweetest deal about working in my organisation in addition to an occasional food and beer are the field trips. Capella is an ...
About a month back, Lyn (my boo) and I popped over to the National Museum for a little site visit. Ever since we embarked on our little life changing project, the both of us have been somewhat (not very) busy in planning and preparation. But amid the busy weekends running around the southern part of ...
After a grueling six months of record breaking wins, tough losses, injuries, winning/losing streaks and questionable trades (just to name a few), the Boston Celtics headed to the NBA Playoffs with a 62-20 record, third in the league. To be honest, their performance is not exactly what I had expected for a defending champion. But ...
Popped over to the Grand Corpthorne Waterfront Hotel on Sunday evening to witness the opening reception of the World Gourmet Summit (WGS) 2009. From 19 April to 2 May, the WGS 2009 will serve up host of epicurean delights spanning across the world and headlined by a number of Michelin-starred chefs (chef list here). I ...
Coming out of a very long break spanning over couple of years, my next basketball season will begin in a few weeks time. Given that I haven’t been playing competitively for a while now and that I am pretty much out of shape, not to mention getting a lot older and slower, its easy to ...
Every once in a while when my colleagues return from an overseas trip for either work or play, they would lug with them a huge stock pile of food and snacks enough to feed everyone in the entire floor. The bunch of us greedy ones have taken to occasional tea time parties such as yam ...
Lyn (my boo) and I passed by the Bishan Library while making our way to the nearby food court last Sunday. Given that have not paid my fine for close to a decade now, I figured its best I go “NETS it” and be a good citizen (or at least closer to one).To be honest, ...
