Weekends don't count unless you spend your time doing something completely meaningless.- Calvin (Calvin & Hobbes)

In case you are wondering, it's been a mad mad week in Sydney. If anyone should claim the gold belt for bad luck, it had to be me.1. Kenna questioned for an hour at Australia customs.2. Serviced apartment booked wrong date for my stay and I nearly had to sleep on the streets for a night.3. Couldn't log on to internet as there is no data cable available in the room.4. Left out …

Okay, so the latest hoo-haa in Singapore is about Jade Seah uttering the big 'F***' word on national television. She apologised and some Indian Chief from Mediacorp issued some press release stating (quote) 'We deeply regret the unintentional leakage of the off-air expletive. Measures have been put in place to prevent such occurrences from happening in the future.' …

I've been on a brief blogging hiatus. Mainly because I've been mastering the art of 'doing nothing' over the long weekend when I took a day off on Friday. Instead being glued to my laptop or out roaming the streets, I was glued to my sofa, spending quality time with the DVDs I borrowed from Kat. When we chatted non-stop about the films we loved, I learnt that she has a good …

I always like to tell friends that my office is nestled along Kreta Ayer Road, which is next to the very infamous historical red light district - Keong Saik Road. Wayyyyy before Geylang came into the picture. In one month's time, I'll be officially relocated to the 'auntie brothel street'... Me: our new office is 3 keong siak roadMe: i'm officially working at the 'brothel …

In bid to boost the Night Festival, The National Museum opened its doors, same for all others museums and heritage galleries, to the public free-of-charge. A good move to increase the public's awareness and appreciation of arts in the local scene. After all, arts help cultivate a normally rowdy, pushy, loud-mouth typical Singaporean person's heart, mind and soul.Then I …

I know I know... what is Gie doing with another new purse bag?Swearing off retail therapy is not what I do best. Sticking to self-made promises ain't my forte neither...The Best Friend and I were window-shopping while I complained endlessly about this. Then my eye caught hold of an worn-out-looking purse bag."Man I could swing this purse across her face," I thought out loud. …

It has its downside too. The number of eye-shut hours is always at single digit. I could choke with blood when the taxi meter reads $30 (a doubling effect since the price hike) at the airport. The money I spent on necessities at the airport could feed at least a fraction of Africa. (Because it's always 'fark! I forgot my hair brush!' or 'shite! Where's my deodorant?') The …

Dear Adam,I am already missing you (greatly). If only I had a few more days in this lazy town, we could have spent time together at the beautiful Glenelg beach. Like you said, lie on the sandy beach, talk about sweet nothings, stroll against the cold wind while you put your hands under my jumper and kiss under the lovely blue sky. Like how we locked lips under that starry …

Absolutely no disrespect, but I would like to point out that having longer limbs has its disadvantages too.Monica's hubby, Rick drives a very cool two-door BMW sports car. But it's not so grand when I have to climb into the back seat in a very clumsy manner. First I swing my big bag in. Then I wriggle a little to pull my jeans up. Next I stride my right leg in before bending …
