I thought the Comic and Toy’s Con (our first ever) was not bad. I mean I wished there was a lot more stalls and vendors, but it really was not that bad. Got to see a lot of our local cartoonists around, and sample their works. I kinda wished the big names would have shown ...

Here’s the trailer for Batman. Too bad for Heath Ledger, but good thing the show was already filmed (don’t call me insensitive, I hardly know the guy, can’t really feel that sad)

When the Lexean first came out I was very impressed by its inaugural edition. It’s second edition also showed much promise. The third edition is not that great however. It’s like reading a summarized version of The Economist, only slightly more irreverent. Incidentally, any man worth his salt should read Economist. No matter profession is. Full stop. Don’t …

Hoi! We’ve got beer myths…Beer Myth 8: The Thai beer Singha has formaldehyde in itIt seems widely believed that Singha is brewed with formaldehyde, as is Chang beer, San Miguel, Vietnamese 33, and Singapore’s Tiger Beer. The most believable explanation for this one is that Singha is much more bitter and contains more alcohol than most lagers. When American …

I really do love the STAR Alliance group of airlines. I’ve got SIA, Thai Airways, ANA and United. Of all the American airliners United is the best in my opinion. And ANA is amazing. I have flown with them a couple of times in both business and coach. Each time is a great experience. I ...

The trailer for CJ7 here are deceptively uninformative, but this Cantonese trailer helps with the story line. Stephen Chow movies are becoming a lot like Jay and Silent Bob ones, where you have to have watched previous movies to get the jokes. Just form the trailer you can see several inside jokes from past Stephen ...

Just finished reading the 4th issue of Lexean, and I am far happier with it than the 3rd issue. It was generally a better read, but I had a problem with one of the articles. Sudhir Vadaketh’s article on China was an extremely naive view of China. Few political scientists would make such an assessment ...

Some old buddies of mine decided to start a wiki-style site for vulgarities and swear words. It’s called Kannina.com. It’s brand new so it’s waiting for entries. Go add. This I command.

The car costs US$2,500 or about S$3750. Even with import duties, PARF and COE it should not be too expensive. It’s only 624CC or 0.624 litres. Fuel consumption is 5L/ 100KM which is much better than my Yaris. It has not air conditioning and power steering in the basic model. That may not be such ...

(and one is supposed to be in Singapore) Pictures and videos available here.ToiletToilet-themed restaurants are nothing new in China. Customers sit on “toilet seat chairs” and meals are served in ceramic toilet miniatures and bowls. Instead of serviette or napkins, customers wipe their hands and mouths using toilet paper. The restaurant is also decorated with ...
