Soon CDs will be Antiques
Wanted this Bob Dylan CD but didn’t get it in the end. These days we only get a few songs from an album rather than the whole CD, for a lot less. With iTunes, CDs are becoming relics. I remember … Continue reading
New at Marina Square: Monoyono & Camper Outlet
Monoyono looked very christmassy with the toy soldiers. A place to get quirky xmas gifts. Camper Outlet Store. Still pretty expensive though.

Shaytard Vlogs Make me Feel Christmassy
Love the Shaytard Vlogs. This is the newest one, where the family returns to Idaho from LA. I am appreciative of what we have in Singapore, but videos like these make me long for cold crisp air, road trips where … Continue reading
Food Court called The Gallerie at Marina Square
I wanted to check this food court out for it’s view. But I wouldn’t really recommend the place. The ventilation was not so great. Much prefer the food quality and choices at Food Republic. Especially the branch at Wisma Atria. … Continue reading

And I don’t know whether it’s, Go Daddy, WordPress or Starhub. Been getting so much spam as well.

Marina Square at Christmas Time
Never heard of Chuggington, but I guess it’s a kiddy book series about trains. In my time we had Enid Blyton’s Noddy. And it was just about the books which we got from the library or second hand bookstore. There … Continue reading

Latest News about the SMRT Health Checks
I am quite glad that detailed information has been provided. It’s always more reassuring to have more information than none. And I really don’t mind the inconvenience of waiting for a train as long as I don’t get stuck in … Continue reading

Ricky Gervais the Pop Star
[youtube]OT8BRnOfM5U[/youtube] It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Ricky Gervais. I think he’s a genious. I much prefer him as a comedian than a pop star. Although I thought he wasn’t too bad as a pop star either. … Continue reading

Video Clips: Inside the SMRT Train Delay & the CEO’s Response
Words just seem hollow. I’ll just let the clips of the CEO speak for themselves.

[youtube]bqdl5b4nGZA[/youtube] Actual footage of people caught in the stuffy train. … Continue reading

Very 70’s. Reminds me of the Christmas decorations in the city when I was a kid.
Millenia Walk Christmas Decorations 2011
Not even Christmas yet and already a clearance sale? It was nice to discover by chance that Wood in the Books has another very pretty store at Millenia Walk. Mos Burger was decked out for Christmas and playing Christmas albums. … Continue reading

Parco Millenia: Go Go Curry Gorilla
It was a bit odd to see the ‘gorilla’ take the escalator. Haven’t tried this new Japanese restaurant yet, but they are already doing a great job with the marketing. But no matter how enticing the marketing, it didn’t work … Continue reading

The Revolutionary 1984 Mac Ad
I may have seen this as a kid and most likely didn’t understand it. But it sure is amazing to watch decades later. If something can stand the test of time then it must really be great. What were your … Continue reading

Adele’s Someone Like You SNL Skit
I don’t like slapstick or gross humour, but I do love a good parody. [youtube]QJuSCPxTUvo[/youtube] The funniest bit for me is Andy Samberg’s expression and Coldplay.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
I have this song stuck in my head. Brilliant pick by Ricky Gervais and it appears at the end credits of one of my favourite shows Extras. I love comedies that are intelligent, poignant and more like real life. I … Continue reading

A new Japanese restaurant called Yayoiken. Would like to try it one day. Also a new counter selling food and drinks from Hokkaido
Singapore’s Prettiest Trees
One of the prettiest trees in Singapore is the one with dark branches and yellowish green leaves. I still don’t know what these trees are called, but they don’t seem tropical to me. I have nothing against tropical, but we … Continue reading
