I was reading a Singabloodypore article on Singapore’s aims on more babies and increased immigration. A few points struck me.
I remember when I was in primary school the social sciences book told me that the population was 2.5 million. I was born in the 1970s. I was not in primary school all […]
A rather excellent guide to eating sushi.
Some unintended but factual humour from the guide:
*Eat fugu (Blowfish) s-l-o-w-l-y with your chopsticks. Enjoy its delicate flavour. Your lips and tongue should tingle, like after a sensuous kiss, making every bite taste better than the previous one. Drink smooth sake every two or […]
I have this great track on my itunes. I guess I ripped it from a compilation or something and itunes didnt name it. Its a nicely hypnotic track with a multitude of multi-ethnic instruments It gets really going at about the 2 min mark. If you can identify it let me know. […]
Ever have a dream and then find someone else living exactly the very same one?
When we decided to up-end our life in San Francisco and adopt a mobile lifestyle, we coined the term “bomad™.” For us, it captured an idea… Traveling around the world in order to take best advantage of each location, working […]
Woo hoo! Craigslist finally hits Singapore. Craigslist is a community classified board that grew out of San Francisco. Its great. At one time the only way to get an apartment in San Francisco was through personal contacts or Craigslist. Craigslist worked heads and shoulders better over getting an agent . It was […]
Letter from an ex-SPH journalist. Please let this be the ramblings of a disgruntled ex-employee. (via Mr Brown)
Notice anything weird in the Life section of the Straits Times today? I was reading the comics and there appeared to be one strip missing instead there was big freakin ad for the Classifieds…. Hmmm.
Then I realised the rather excellent Get Fuzzy was missing! I remember the get fuzzy strip from a few days […]
One afternoon at Raffles City being a snapalicious with my phonealicious…
The first sign was snapped at Robinson’s. It seemed really odd to have money referred to as *media*. They normally go the more circumlocutious route of calling it ‘mode/method of payment’. My immediate associations with the word media have less to do with […]
Adri’s guide to Sapphic bliss. I am scarred by the implication that women look upon men as fondly as they do Windows PCs…
Believe it or not the title is not an oxymoron. Watch as I host a mp3 track with impunity… (I should do this more often)
Tres Cosas (right click save please) by Juan Molina is a gorgeous track. The BBC has this to say here,
…Engaging folk music. Off-centre electronica. A little edginess. A […]
Notorious MSG. Check out the original NYC chinatown ganstas! These guys are awesome! They remind of the Beastie Boys from years back! Check out the video Straight Out of Canton. Your patience downloading the video will be well rewarded, you won’t regret it. I replayed the video over and over and then again…I am […]
The US has roughly a population of 300 million. Of these about around 200 million are eligible voters. Of these about 120 million voted. Of these about 60 million voted for Bush. So his mandate is at most 20% of the population. That means 80% of the country didnt vote for him. As […]
I am sitting here reloading the newsites every 20 minutes.
I remember the summer of 2000 , sitting around the apartment with my then housemate. He had just signed up with the U.S Army after graduating from college. He joked that as long Bush didn’t get elected he would not see war action. […]
Funniest video about friendster… this guy (zefrank) is sooo good. Checkout his other videos here, under stuff to watch. The one called request is his take on the Nigerian 419 scams. Wow. Is he good or what?
