I was told by a reliable source that the reason why the Terry Fox Run, which was held on Sunday, is called Run For Life in Singapore was because the organisers did not want to make a massive payment to use the Terry Fox brandname. Another smart ass fact for you, though we could be mistaken ( Read more... )

Ok so here we go... a collage of just some of the pictures I snapped during the day's visits to the biennale venues. There were of course many more fascinating works on display. Luminescent ladder to hell; or heaven if you look up (pic 2). Yep come join the dark side! (pic 5). The 10th to 12th pictures were taken in front of a studio audience... ( Read more... )

Sticky chewy chocolate mooncake. Why is Swensen's being cruel to me?!! ... in fact, why oh why did they invent mooncakes in the first place *sob*

I had another fabulous day of visiting the various venues for the Biennale on Saturday. This time, apart from the facinating displays, I had the added fun of monkeying around with Allly Gatur (gator_)and labial mouse(labbie rat) and ... of course my trusted 4 megapixel (Hannor..ONLY!) brick digital camera. Oh shuddup all you techies! Unfortunately now ( Read more... )

Wow! What a brilliant innovative advertisement. If that's what you get for chewing Happy Dent gums, I'm so getting it.... and I'm so breaking the law!!!

Happy Dent Advertisement

P.S. Good to see the yindians progressing from charcoal (yep!) to chewing gum for those pearly white teeth that I'm told can be seen in the dark. Haiyah... that passe ( Read more... )

Do I need a PLATINUM credit card? (No I don't have one!) Yes sure it looks so darn good..... and then what? Yes I can save S$388.00..... but at a cost of S$160!! And I have to spend on golf. I don't hit wooden balls with a stick! Go to spas for S$1000 "treatments'??? I don't think so! Stay in hotels in Spore? But... but I LIVE in Singapore! AND ( Read more... )

Received this email from a friend who moved to Hawaii some years back. It was both funny and quite fascinating, so I just had to blog it.

BEWARE: This might be vulgar to some!!

I admit that I am nothing less than a sceptic when it comes to made in Singapore movies. I've seen a few here and there and they've been ok. I've not even watched I Not Stupid, which my cousins (all non-mandarin/dialect-speaking indians as well) were raving about. In fact I used to find it a little put-offish watching an entirely Singlish movie. I ( Read more... )

Yesterday's dinner was a record! It was the worst dining experience I've ever had in an Indian restaurant. To think Tiffin Room, of all restaurants,.... in Raffles Hotel, of all places, is just overhyped and deserves only 1 star out of 5 (or maybe even out of 10)..... now that's bad! When the friend from England (national dish: Curry!!) invited me ( Read more... )
