Photo by spo0nman via FlickrI've heard so many things about this line of buffet restaurants and not all of them were good. I've had people tell me that they've got a great selection of food and it's one of the best buffet places in town. I've also had people tell me that the food was bad, either burnt or still mostly raw when they're not supposed to be, service was terrible …

Nooo! Tell me it isn't so!According to this, it seems that Borders is under some financial difficulties and may be selling out (via). I hope that what ever happens, they won't be closing down the Borders. As it is, I don't think there's enough book stores.It's not like we have a Barnes & Nobles here. There was a Dymocks outlet at City Link back in the day but that closed to …
I attended the soft launch of Podfire.sg at Geek Terminal earlier and I have to say that the experience was interesting. Please bear with me while I try to put into words what I think of the event. To introduce the different flagships under them, they screened an episode from each flagship; Blogger's Treat, Channel 65 and The Geek Goddess Show. Out of the three episodes that …

There are so many different blogging styles and the different things that people blog about; the tech stuff, recipes, life in general and politics. Lately, I've read a few blogs that have very insightful, posts with such deep meaning that it goes way above my head and what I term as 'normal' posts, the ones that are light and fluffy, full of hilarious anecdotes and snark. I …
When my sister got accepted to the University of Queensland, my parents wanted me to go over with her and help smooth her transition into the life of an international student. The even offered to pay for my accommodation and flight but I refused to go. Personally, I didn't think it was fair since I had to muddle through it on my own, with no help for anyone. Ok, …

Nicole's post remind me of a very important date in my blogging life.Today marks my second year with this blog; a blog I created because I was tired of the old one and because I had the two-year blogging itch. It's been four years since I discovered this wonderful world of blogging and I hope that I've come a long way since those early years of whining and whinging. Ok, so I …
A post that Ridz did about keeping a writing journal inspired me to do the same and so far, I've enjoyed the writing exercise that I've been doing almost nightly. It feels very freeing to be able to say what is on my mind without fear of judgement, or hurting any one's feelings and just say what I'm thinking or feeling without holding back. Lately, I find that I've been …
1. I get to lie on her bed, mess it up and there won't be any screaming that follows it.2. Her bed has now become the repository for my junk (i.e pants, DVDs).3. I get to watch my DVDs as late (or early) and as loud as I want. 4. No more loud argument-like conversations on the phone.5. There's no one there for me to disturb (or disturb me).6. No funny conversations …
It’s like a step back in time. This group of statues depicts what life must be like back in the colonial days of Singapore. Personally, I find scenes like this so fascinating because it’s …
Once every few months, I need some time for myself, be it just some alone time away from everyone or just some retail therapy. These past few weeks have been like a game of dodge ball where you can't actually dodge the ball. All you have to do is stand there and take the balls being thrown at you. So I decided that I needed to recuperate from all that by indulging myself with …
Have you ever had one of those days where you have to do something you don’t want to but you don’t have any choice? That’s exactly what this cat feels. There are more than a few people tha …
After missing out on the first two Social Media Breakfast events, I was determined not to miss out on the third one even though I was still coughing badly. Besides, SMB3 was held at the Asian Civilisations Museum. How could I say no?When I got to the venue, there were already a number of people mingling and getting to know each other. I saw some familiar faces like Nicole, …
I've been underweight almost all of my life. I was a scrawny kid growing up and all the way to my early twenties. I was so thin that my hip bones were quite prominent and I had people asking me if I had an eating disorder, which I don't. If you've seen me scarf down a pizza, you wouldn't think that I had an eating disorder. Things started to change when I …
At a recent trip to a table top barbecue place with some old friends of mine, I realised that not only have we not done something like that in ages, there are so many changes since the last time we did something similar.Back then, we used to go out as a whole class or at least most of the class. There would be at least ten to fifteen of us at any given time. We would …
