Celebrating Bo’s birthday today!

Our good friend Bo turns 37 today! Or is it 38? haha…

Here’s a photo of Bo with his lover, Jo, holding up a really juicy and succulent pineapple. Bo is a hospitable guy who loves to cook. We’ve had dinner at his place many times. If I remember correctly, this photo was captured after we’ve [...]

Thirty Two Diamonds For Precious

Mum went to the goldsmith today and discovered this pre-loved antique bracelet. The moment she laid eyes on it, she fell in love. Even though the goldsmith wouldn’t budge the price, she brought it home for her only daughter.
Isn’t that how mothers treat their precious? When Mum got home, the first thing she showed me [...]

Help Me To Bring A Bicycle Across The Causeway

I just bought a brand new bicycle but it is here with me in Malaysia. Any ideas? Singapore needs my bicycle. A geek and a precious need it!

How To Prepare The Shanghai Hairy Crab

Do you know that this puny little thing is dangerous? According to the lady who was serving us, swallowing the wrong parts may cause diarrhea and vomiting so she demonstrated what must be done before serving these crabs to guests.
 
 
 

You might notice that the crab legs were not served in the video above. The legs [...]

My First Time Meeting Ping.Sg Bloggers At The Slingers Game

Will it be intimidating?
Will I be discovered for the noob blogger that I am?
Will the conversation be peppered with dizzying keywords such as RSS, Page Rank, Monetize, Advertlets and Nuffnang?
In the end, I didn’t have time to worry because I was running late! By the time we got to the Singapore Indoor Stadium to cheer [...]

Don’t Watch DayWatch Without A Pen And NotePad

I’m not sure if the creators of Day Watch are imaginative, or demon possessed. There is a fine line between the two. This movie is like taking as many unfathomable elements as possible and stringing them together to create a unique storyline. Without giving away the plot of the movie, here are just some of [...]

Watching Muay Thai Kickboxing in Singapore

Yesterday, Nic and I watched the filming of Contender Asia which is a reality show about Muay Thai Kickboxers. It was disgusting. I think one of the participant might have died from it. We saw him smashed up and sped to the hospital. To give you an idea of how this might have occurred, let [...]

Our Last Day In Borneo - A Day At Kinabalu Park

We arrived at Kinabalu Pine Resort at about midnight. I had called earlier to warn we would be arriving late, so our keys were safely kept for us by the security guys.
Nic was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful this resort is. It looks and feels like a five-star hotel but costs only RM135 per night. [...]

Perfecting The Holiday With Great Food, Great Company, And Great Singing!

We were only a short while in Beaufort. It is so small that it takes about five minutes to drive across the entire town but it is not as small as Weston town which consists of about seven shophouses and a mini school. During the car ride, I quickly snapped a photo to prove that [...]

The Next Morning At Weston

The next morning, we woke up nice and early but took a long time to wash up. We were thoroughly enjoying the idyllic Sabah pace of life.
As we strolled to the dining area for breakfast, we caught a glimpse of two giant grasshoppers perched on our food!

It turns out to be a single strand of [...]
