Although this is one of those ’so what else is new’ type of news, I can’t help but continue with my gripe about the soaring fuel prices in Singapore. I mean seriously…what the hell…?Caltex ups pump prices, others set to follow - taken from Straits TimesBy Christopher TanCALTEX petrol stations raised their pump prices on ...
Got some bad news relating to the Singapore Slingers from Nic about four days ago. It seems that our star player Rod Grizzard has decided to sign a three-year contract with current champion, the Melbourne Tigers alongside with MVP Chris Antley. As much as we hate to see him leave, Nic was right about a ...
Okay, I know this is cruel but it did for a moment opened up my horizons in terms of Singapore’s potential leading to an interesting thought. I was chatting to my friend this morning about the recent escape of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) member Mas Selamat Kastari noting how I find it weird for a man ...
Yeah I’m probably one of the last horse that crossed the finishing line. Fellow bloggers like Nic, Jean, Sheylara, Alice and Arzhou have already written or mentioned about it and I am pretty late in doing so. But hey…it took me two days to create a post on it. What about? Lennie making the $500 ...
All thanks to Nic (again), Lyn (my boo) and I popped over to the Indoor Stadium yesterday night to catch the opening night of the Singapore Challenge Series. To cut the long story short, the Singapore Challenge Series is a series of basketball matches where professional teams from around the region are invited to take ...
I’m sure ya’ll know how much I love gorging on those wonderful steaks. Heck..I even believe the fact that having plenty of cows here on planet earth is another sign that God loves us (the other is beer).But living in a HUDC with no place for a huge BBQ’ing machine like Ian and Eva’s house, ...
Never thought I’d say this but I failed my first ever three-year car inspection today. And this was immediately after I did my 30,000km servicing at my usual workshop. Talk about a kick in the nuts followed by a middle finger. Its not due to illegal modification like my other friends would think but rather ...
Spotted some ice in the urinal at the little boys’ room at Fullerton Hotel this afternoon. Yeap you read right…ice. According to a friend, he said that the ice takes away the smell hence keeping the toilet smelling better than some cannot make it toilets in places I’m sure you’ve been at. Not exactly a ...
Thanks to Len, Lyn (my boo) and I popped over to the Singapore Expo last Sunday after learning of the fantastic deals that the Adidas and Taylormade sale has in store for us. After taking advantage of some compelling deals including a loose number 3 and 4 Taylormade r7 CGB MAX irons at a total ...
LAUNDRY!!I know this is kinda sad but Lyn (my boo) is attending classes tonight…meaning no date for me. Call me unromantic but my laundry has accumulated to two loads and I need to get to them quick. I guess you can see I don’t have much of a choice eh? Happy Valentine’s Day all!!
I collected my IC at the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) this afternoon after months of procrastinating since my 30th birthday last year. Crowded the customer area may be, I was quite relieved to find out that the IC collection area was pretty empty. In fact, my queue no. was called out a little under ...
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 ...
As the season for the Singapore Slingers closed earlier this year on a lackluster note, it is not surprising to note that fans and analysts may wonder how the team’s future would be.Their situation seemed to be in hot waters and future rather bleak. At the end of the season, the Slingers’ 6-24 win-loss record ...
Guess Hollywood celebrities are really buying into the environment sustainability bit, perhaps after two movies (i.e An Inconvenient Truth and The 11th Hour) that citied possible impacts the earth could be plagued with resulting from climate change. But it is a good start…Red carpet goes green as Oscars stars opt for eco-limos - taken from ...
Thanks to my colleague and golf buddy Lawrence, I scored a pass to the Barclays Singapore Open this weekend and honestly, I am so looking forward to it. Its not about rooting for Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els, but rather a fellow Singaporean who goes by the name of Lam Chih Bing. As of yesterday, ...
Lyn (my boo) together with Sharon, her friends and I popped over to the Chivas Live at the River Valley Pool on Friday. As free events with free flow of Chivas booze go, the queue stretched a good few hundred metres and waiting was a real bitch. Once in, we headed straight to the bar ...
I guess its fair to say that Chinese New Year will never be the same without a visit to the Brewerkz. Although the maggots (including me) have only started this tradition three years ago, its our tradition and honestly, we’d like to keep it that way. So we headed down to our usual haunt yesterday ...
I am not exactly a huge fan but enough to know that if they are here, I am definitely going. Angels & Airwaves (AVA) will be making their first appearance in Singapore this Sunday at the University Cultural Centre Hall at NUS. I doubt that there will be a huge crowd there given that AVA’s ...
As an ex-collector/admirer of all things Nike back in the days of yonder, I would always venture out to eBay or other shoe collector stores at Far East Plaza, sourcing and haggling for good limited edition deals. Now years have passed and my collection dwindled due to the humidity and heat in our country (an ...
For those who know me well enough, you would agree that I seldom complain about food. I mean I love to eat and have always been a great ego booster for those trying out new dishes and need me to help experiment. I mean hey…I even enjoy eating airplane food. So if you ever hear ...
