No longer working in an environmentally conscious organisation, I do find myself slowly slipping away from blogging about green issues. Thankfully, I had the honour of participating in Earth Hour a couple of weeks back (although I felt it was somewhat incomplete) which reminded me to stay on track toward the environment and help spread ...
After a very enjoyable one-week self-imposed “familiarisation programme”, I finally got used to the 24-inch LCD monitor I purchased from Dell on a sweet deal earlier on. Nevermind that I have to turn my head slightly as the mouse move from one end to the other, or that it is taking quite a signifcant portion ...
My colleagues on Thursday evening bought some old skool candy and biscuits from a store at Ang Mo Kio after a good run at Bishan Park. Sorting through the big pile of unhealthy but oh so lovely and nostalgic goodness, I chanced upon a tin of candy with a political twist.That’s right, a tin of ...
Lyn (my boo) pointed out an advertisement in yesterday’s Straits Time’s classifieds section. It is about some young guy apologising to a hair stylist for “wrongfully” blacklisting his salon in an online forum. No idea what that the term “wrongfully” represents by the way. Guess the issue might have gotten out of hand and to ...
In about four and a half hours, a significant part of Singapore will fade away for an hour as businesses and individuals show their support to VOTE EARTH. This is perhaps the biggest involvement in our country for an environmental project that is not initiated by the government. Of course we know that the government ...
Not too sure if such it has been done last year, but college Basketball fans wanting to catch the March Madness’ Sweet Sixteen matches can watch them live for free all thanks to NCAA.com. I’m rooting for the University of North Carolina’s very own Tarheels of course, that’s where the greatest basketball player, Michael Jordan ...
Here is another delayed entry in a bid to keep the ‘ol jBlog going. But before that, and just in case you are wondering, yes, I am still spending my free time slacking off and loving it. During the times I don’t, I dive deep into a personal project that have and will take a ...
Not too sure about that though. Although many of us do equate snaking long queues to good food, our experience at Punggol Nasi Lemak Centre begged to differ. Sure the wait was long, but the portion was rather small and in my humble opinion, not very worth the price.The long queue with about 10 more ...
The scorching sun from yesterday’s HSBC Women’s Champion have left my face drying up like the Sahara Desert. The glowing red face is a dead give away in office today and if I had a dollar everytime my colleague asked me what the heck happened to me during the weekend, I would have enough money ...
Thanks to an old friend Jane again, Lennie and I plus a couple of friends headed to Tanah Merah Country Club to catch our second year of the HSBC Women’s Champions. Unlike last year, world number one Lorena Ochoa was unable to dominate the boards giving way to other LPGA greats including Paula Creamer and ...
Woah it has been a while hasn’t it? Just in case you thought I might have possibly died in my cubicle at work and none of my colleagues noticed anything amiss for about a good two weeks, well…I haven’t. The long break is the usual combination of slacking off (its a periodic thing I guess), ...
It was during the second day of Chinese (or Lunar) New Year when Lyn (my boo) and I popped over to the NTUC Finest at Thomson Plaza. Taking a nice stroll down the brightly lit organic food section, we were suprised to discover that the cost of organic food is something perhaps only the rich ...
Lyn (my boo) and I are currently on an austerity drive now given the current economic situation and our efforts to save for that impending wedding (its going to rock) and house hunting. Still wanting to keep to our very few traditions which include the yearly Valentine’s Day dinner indulgence but keeping it economical, we ...
Thanks to Lyn (my boo) for the lovely Valentine’s Day surprise yesterday. And just in case you are wondering..yes yes, I got her flowers and cupcakes.. .Start Slide Show with PicLens Lite
My department and I popped over to Bao Gong XO Fish Head Bee Hoon at Clementi Ave 2 a week back for a nice new year lunch and lo hei. Good food aside, I must admit that I am looking forward to what the year lies ahead of us. After some re-organisation at work leading ...
Here’s another walk down memory lane. I was not feeling too well this afternoon after playing basketball in the sun and perhaps might have gotten a tad bit dehydrated. My body was really warm and I had this nagging headache that refused to go away. Lyn (my boo) suggested that we head to a herbal ...
I was honoured to be invited to witness the traditional Sikh wedding of Prabs (aka P-Lord, Prab-master, Bombay Bombshell and many other embarrassing nicknames) and Kiran (that’s her real name). Held last Saturday morning at the Central Sikh Temple, Towner Road, the wedding in addition to several prayers and blessings consisted of the Four Lavan. ...
My eldest sis gave birth to a baby boy on Friday to the delight of the entire family. First grandson for my parents and I am finally an uncle of a newphew. Don’t get me wrong, I love my three neices to bits. Welcome baby Isaac!! Left: Baby Isaac resting | Right: My sis carrying ...
Yeah this is one of those nostalgia entries where we focus on something that takes us back in time. Lyn (my boo) and I popped over to Chinatown a couple of months back for some foot reflexology goodness when we came across a temporary store selling old skool sweets, pretty much like what the people ...
Chinese (or Lunar) New Year in Singapore is a time where the country pretty much shuts down. From your favourite restaurants to shopping malls, the closure means that our non-Chinese brethren would have to do some stocking up, quite similar to how chipmunks would stock up nuts for the winter. Yeah, Lyn (my boo) and ...
