Photo by HorEvery National Day, all my aunts and cousins would gather at my house for a feasting get together and watch the parade on TV. I think that's just an excuse for use to binge on good food and gossip.This year was different as my aunts took my grandmother for a holiday over the National Day weekend and most of my cousins were busy. However, we still managed to get a …

Mascot FAIL. One of the funniest videos I’ve seen in ages, that does not include a ventriloquist.
An errand after work took me through the my neighbourhood's shop are and I never realised how much it's changed. It's been a long while since I've been there. I could barely recognised it. When I saw new shops opened in the place of old ones, I felt a pang of loss. The old baker's place and the hair salon are gone and in their place, some bubble tea place and a shop that I …
I think that instant noodles are the most versatile food I've ever come across, after rice that is. You can do so many things with it like frying it all on it's own, frying it with rice and of course with soup. Instant noodles are my go-to food when everything else doesn't appeal to my appetite. Some brands boasts that it takes only two minutes to cook it but personally, I …

No they aren’t real bears but are actually small aquatic invertebrates called tardigrades. They can withstand extreme temperatures, dehydration and even radiation. Isn’t that cool?Accordin …
It's been a tradition in my family to gather at my house for National Day to watch the parade together. Yesterday was no different, only that most of my aunts and cousins couldn't make it. …
It's first of November so it's time for the madness that are NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo. I'm not really sure why I packed Althie into my work bag today but I'm glad I did. I managed to get some writing done while waiting for the idotic poster printing person to get back to me. So far, I've got a chapter told in third person and another in first person, told from the main …
I first heard of Flight of the Conchords (FOTC) through the ladies at Mamapop, when they were raving about how hilarious it was. My curiosity got the better of me and I checked them out. T …
I discovered a very wonderful thing about my iPod, I can play videos on it! Ok, so I knew all along but I just never fully utilised it that way. Henry (yes, I named my iPod. Have a problem with that?) has always been, primarily, a music player and sometimes as a HDD when I'm in a bind. While I was going through my extrenal HDD at home, I realised that I had a number of videos …
After the previous barbecue I had, I was itching to have another one so I got myself a portable barbecue pit thing. After much discussions with my mum, we decided to have a little family barbecue.We had the requisite chicken drumlets and satay. On top of that, we had prawn, fish balls and nice, plump marshmallows too. It was great! The prawns were awesome because there were …
What started out as a normal monthly DVD shopping spree ended up being a week of nothing but zombies. I've never watched Resident Evil in its entirety so when the DVD was going cheap, I had to get it. I wouldn't say that the movie was the awesome of awesome but as a horror movie with zombies, it was cool. I'd prefer if it was more gory; reckless spraying of blood and …

I love this dude’s videos. He makes doing make up look simple and easy and he’s entirely self taught. I love the colours he uses. The downside is that he makes me want to get MAC eye make …
