Memento Mori, Carpe Diem!
This was a much overdue and well deserved ‘proper beach’ vacation that I’ve been itching for ever since I started work in Singapore (no East Coast Park doesn’t count!) . Took just one day off for a weekend getaway (3D2N) to Krabi Railay, and boy was it worth it!
Our trip via Tiger Airways was [...]
Totally didn’t plan on attending Green Day’s Concert in Singapore, and ended up going only because Andrea and Nic Thooi persuaded me to go. Well, whatever earlier hesitation I may have had was misplaced, because the concert was downright friggin’ incredible.
The opening act by Prima Donna was kinda mediocre with lots of guitar grinding tracks [...]
131 movies watched in 2009. Definitely a LOT lower compared to my previous 2 years. I slowed down drastically from mid year onwards as the PS3 took up most of my time..
My Top 5 Movie Picks for 2009 goes to :

Watching this in 3D is like taking an unforgettable vacation to a different [...]
Lady Gaga – Live in Singapore
Sometimes, all it takes is just one eager fan to help form the plans to attend a concert. For Lady Gaga, there were 2 – Mei and Pei Fern. Pei Fern convinced Gerardine to go while Mei convinced me – and before I knew it, we had a group!
I actually [...]
This concert was planned all the way back in June when I purchased the early bird tickets the moment they became available (and getting confirmation from Ash and Niki). Now I wouldn’t really call myself a big fan of Nine Inch Nails, but am aware and have been exposed to much of their musical influence [...]

And so, dear crazy Mei decides to come all the way down south to try Bikram Yoga while also paying her dear old useless danna a little overdue visit..
Well, Mei has already pretty much written everything there is to say about this trip at her blog here and here and here and here [...]
3 of my closest GUY friends – the ones I spent most time growing up with all through high school and college, have gotten hitched. Terence & Florence permanently bonded in November last year, with Roy & Stephanie following suit in June while Ang & Alyssa signed their lives away in July.
All 3 times, I [...]
Yasmin Ahmad passed away at 11.25pm on the 25th of July 2009. She was 50 years old.
I don’t think I have ever felt as devastated and emotional over the loss of someone unrelated to me. I was midway clubbing when I checked my mobile and saw the horrible news. As I sat in the cab [...]
Stray Cat Love
There are these few absolutely lovely stray cats just right below Airin’s apartment at Toa Payoh. One night as I was heading home after a late gaming session there, one of them trailed me, and started rubbing itself against my leg. I would sit down on a bench, and it would jump up [...]
Porn on the BIG screen
I remembered reading about this cinema on someones blog some time ago, and was reminded of it when Gerardine brought it up as ‘one of the places she would like to visit in Singapore’ (she heard about it from Xiaxue’s blog). Yangtze cinema is quite possibly the ONLY cinema in Singapore [...]
