Drinks for the rich I guess. Christie’s sale of wine and spirits two weeks ago, perhaps the first liquor auction in New York since prohibition, featured the 81-year-old Macallan whiskey. The 1926 whiskey was closed at a whopping US$54,000, making it one of the most expensive bottles of liquor ever sold. It rocks to ...
This is probably one of my most embarrassing entry apart from declaring my dream of dressing up as a Care Bear for Halloween some day (an attempt failed yearly so don’t ask). About a few days back, my sister Fel tagged me in Facebook photo which I have not seen a long long time. Adding ...
I remembered a quote KP pulled out some time back from Benjamin Franklin when he said “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy”. Sure he may not have been a preacher, a priest or even the president of the United States, but he invented the bifocal glass and other ...
Coming back to a series of entries on my trip to Shenzhen and Macau, Lyn (my boo) and I upon taking a nice walk along the streets of Le(4) Yuan(2) discovered a hidden gem to our pleasant surprise, street food. I can’t really direct you to the exact location given my unfamiliarity of the Le ...Related posts:Seafood in Shenzhen Breakfast at the Singapore Food Expo Hong …
I was introduced to Russell Peters by an old colleague of mine about a few years ago. Back then not knowing what he was like and with the availability of YouTube, I guess it is safe to say that finding his shows were pretty much a breeze. With that, I immediately became a fan. Missing ...
Lyn (my boo) and I were shopping for hours along Tung Choi Street (aka Ladies Street), Sai Yeung Choi Street (famous for its electonics goods) and Fa Yuen Street (well known for its variety of sporting goods), when we felt our stomachs rumbling. We had the initial plan of heading to a place called ...
Popped over to Sitex with KP and Kun on Saturday to pick up some unnecessary stuffs including a nice Western Digital hard drive. After parking my car a good 1km away from the Singapore Expo and taking that nice slow walk, we were greeted by hordes of bargain hunters looking out for the best deals ...
In the next few hours, I will be heading to the National Stadium to witness the Singapore Slingers’ biggest event ever, a double header with three teams hailing from the Philippines. The momentous event will also showcase Singapore’s first ever Philippines Basketball Association (PBA) game as Talk ‘N Text take on the San Miguel Beermen. ...
Another disappointing match on Wednesday as we witnessed a Singapore Slingers’ trashing of 126-97 by the Adelaide 36ers. What makes this game even more disappointing is that it is our last home game and we were hoping that the Slingers would at least give the 36ers a run for their money.This time round, Len, KP, ...
Just into a few days after installing a copy of Windows Vista Home Premium for my new MacBook, I discovered from Gizmodo that PC World had name the software created by Microsoft as the Biggest Tech Disappointments of 2007 from a list of 15. Talk about a kick in the head eh? But hey, before ...
Think I am not going to write anything about this. Figured its best I let the images speak for themselves. All images taken from Hypebeast. You can read more about it here. I’m totally so speechless…think I will lie down for a while…
Well its not exactly local Hong Kong food but I felt I needed to post an article about it because I have taken a little more food photos compared to the other places we visited. Located at G/F 12 Pak Sha Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, Mi-Ne Sushi is your everyday Japanese ...
Finally managed to get my hands on the Nokia Wristband for my N95 8GB. It’s main purpose is basically to shove that darn big phone into something that can hold it tightly as I jog away. Yeah its a gym thing. As of late, Harry (Harold), Eddy (Edrick) and Boss (Andy) have been urging me ...
Was reading Straits Times’ Digital Life this morning and the comic of the day from Close to Home had me cracking up for a while. Sure it may be a two-month old comic, but how can I not like this considering that I am still exploring the world of Web 2.0 Shamelessly scanned from ...
I meet up with Lennie much earlier on Saturday to catch the 3rd practice session followed by the Qualifier. Lyn (my boo) had to study and since she is not really into races, she said she will only meet us for late dinner and thereafter, the qualifier. Holding on to our DSLRs, Lennie and I ...
I was supposed to do a little write up on the final Asean Basketball League (ABL) Playoff game between the Singapore Slingers and Satria Muda BritAma early this month. But given the time constraints and not forgetting the usual bit of slacking off all mixed together in a bag that already included frustration over how ...Related posts:Slingers one win away from ABL Finals …
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 ...
Thanks to Nic again for the court side passes, Lennie, Sharon (his boo) and I headed over to the Indoor Stadium yesterday afternoon with the other nice bloggers to catch the clash between the Singapore Slingers and Sydney Spirit. Unfortunately this time round, after a 3-0 record in the Singapore Challenge Cup, the slightly weaker ...
Too bad its not whisky though. Lyn (my boo) and I popped over to Takashimaya last weekend after picking up two important items for our big project and spotted a temporary stall selling all sorts of olive oils and aged balsamic vinegars. Managed by the folks from Crescendo, the oily goodness offered were priced slightly ...
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 ...
