I have to be honest. I’m a pampered city girl and I love my modern city creature comforts.But I was excited about staying in a jungle longhouse, which is the dwelling type for the indigenious people of Borneo, called Dayaks.I mean, I don’t know, funny little things in life excite me, even if they fill ...
AdvertorialThe Goonfather often goes to Siloso Beach in Sentosa to check out bikini chicks during weekends when I’m not free to accompany him.Idiot.So, when I had the opportunity to enjoy some of Sentosa’s adventures on the house, I picked a Saturday when he wasn’t free. Wahahahaha.No lah, I’m not so mean.The date was picked for ...
I almost died of shock when I flipped open the November issue of Maxim and saw my interview.The first question is: “Did you start gaming to meet guys?”Apparently, my answer is yes. (!!!)Lucky I had my stress ball with me that day or I would have burst a few hundred of my capillaries. Instead, I ...
The Goonfather and I were strolling around at Central, trying to make ourselves hungry so we could go eat dinner.Suddenly, he grabbed at my arm. “Hey, hey!” he said. “Got upskirt to see!”“Where, where?” I said.He pointed.And I looked up. Copyright © 2007 The sometimes damsel in distress.
Now that voting for the S’pore Blog Awards is over, I will be moving on to the next campaign… for the Xbox 360!This is a new and different campaign that will be launched in our little island pretty soon. The New Paper has scoop!This interview appeared in The New Paper yesterday. Click to enlargeI can’t ...
Presenting the latest in haute couture, hot off the glitzy runway of Heartland Mall!Spectators were completely bowled over by the creativity and free-spiritedness reflected in this shocking and innovative new design by a relatively unknown young designer, who looks set to elevate the status of Singapore haute couture.The designer was unfortunately unavailable for comment.But …
This is very scary. It was scary enough when we started hearing news of gamers dying from gaming too much.But news of bloggers dying from blogging too much is scarier because there are many more bloggers than gamers in the world.It’s scarier for me because I’m both a blogger and a gamer.But don’t worry. I’m ...
What gives?Statistics and news reports show that kids are starting at a younger age. I think (for myself) it would be scary to be a kid now. Today’s kids are growing up in a society that constantly stresses them and confuses them. Their heads are probably all messed up.Not in the sense that they’re crazy ...
I love hanging out with bloggers because they do the most insane things. Last night, the Most Insane Award went to Rinaz for performing the insane feat of conversing with herself over the phone.(Incidentally, Rinaz also won an award I gave out last year, the Ping.sg Slackiest Latecomer Award. She’s a sly one, sweeping all ...
I hate my new place.The shower doesn’t shower, it dribbles. I don’t know if it’s because of the new shower head or the new piping or whatever, but it literally dribbles. When you turn the knob to jet mode, it dribbles out one weak stream about 1 cm in diameter. When you turn the knob ...
I recently gave a friend some homework.He doesn’t read blogs a lot because he’s always busy doing other stuff. So when I talk to him about blogging trends and terms, he’s like, “What’s that?”To stop myself from slapping him with the proverbial IRC trout (which, may I remind you people, is actually very passe by ...
It started in Friendster.Every once in a while, I would get a message in my inbox with the subject title: “Random Guy wants to be your friend.”Because I’m terrible at remembering names and faces, I always consider the possibility that Random Guy is someone I know but have just forgotten for the moment. So I ...
My friends and I did a really crazy thing last Saturday. We went to Sunset Grill & Pub and ordered the level 10 buffalo wings.If you’ve never heard of the famous spicy buffalo wings at Sunset Grill, you really need to do some soul searching!!Okay, I’m kidding. I’ve actually never heard of it myself until ...
I have received numerous complaints from readers that they haven’t been able to access my blog. Almost all of them are on SingNet.Today, after many attempts to speak to SingNet technical support, I finally got through by harrassing an operator at the SingTel headquarters.When I told the tech support the problem, he said, “I can ...
I’ve been busy travelling and filming all of today and this is the first chance I got to go online, and I only have a bit of time, so I’m just going to make a very small announcement.Stomp has a new Star Blogger and I think you should check her out!Star Blog is getting pretty ...
It’s not every day one gets to grace the cover of a magazine, unless one’s name were Angelina Jolie or, closer to home, Fann Wong.So it was with a certain amount of anticipation — fine, an insane amount of anticipation — that I walked into a random bookstore in town to suss the copy out. ...
Sitting in the makeup seat in an SPH photo studio, I was horrified when the makeup-artist-cum-hairstylist announced, “I will give her curls.”It wasn’t armageddon-degree horror, but close enough.Not that I have anything against curly hair, but it’s just not me. And in this particular photoshoot, I was supposed to be me and not some generic ...
Whenever I flip open a magazine or newspaper, knowing I will find a write-up about me inside, it is always with a lot of trepidation.I fear to find myself quoted out of context or, worse, misquoted totally. I fear to see ugly photos of me. I fear to see that I’ve been stashed in a ...
Last month, I attended my first Stomp event as a Star Blogger. It was the Club Stomp Singles Party and I was almost late because I couldn’t decide whether to pin my hair up.I took some photos to help me decide, because you always get a different perspective from still pictures.It didn’t really help. I ...
Reality TV is getting ridiculous. lol.I mean, Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire (2000) kinda amazed me. I only watched one episode of it out of curiosity because I generally don’t have time to watch TV. Predictably, the marriage resulting from the show didn’t work out. It’s kinda absurd, anyway, to think that one can ...
