“Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” Review
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was definitely the worst film out of the series so far. In fact, it’s the worst movie I’ve seen since that ridiculous thing they called a film and labeled “The X-Files: I Want To Believe”. My first problem with this movie is that it felt entirely disjointed. This…

Typical Movie Experience in Singapore
Going to the movies in Singapore can be an ugly experience if you’re not prepared for it. I’ve often been told by Singaporeans that this is a small island and there isn’t much to do. I’m not sure I can agree with that, since there seems to be quite a lot to do here. There’s…

Spinach Bacon OmuRice From Manpuku
Lunch on Sunday was Spinach Bacon OmuRice from the Manpuku restaurant in Tampines 1. I didn’t remember seeing the stall before and the dishes looked interesting so I thought I’d give it a try. I was later told by a friend that it was added recently. As you can see from the picture, this dish…

Cosplayers in Pasir Ris, Singapore
Sunday afternoon, my wife and I were on our way to the Pasir Ris MRT station when we saw this couple strolling down the sidewalk. I was surprised and my wife told me we should run and get pictures with them, so of course we did. Their outfits are really cool, but I have no…

Banana Caramel Crème Crêpes
Not much to say here. I just wanted to share the photos and make you drool! On Saturday night (yes, that was a busy day for us!) our last stop before heading home was Plaza Singapura (another mall). On the bottom floor there was a small Japanese Food Fair set up. Well, that’s what the…

Orchard Central Mall in Singapore
Saturday evening my wife and I were wandering down Orchard Road. We didn’t have any real goal in mind. We just wanted to be out of the house for a while and take in the sights. Orchard Road is usually pretty interesting. I’ve seen everything from centurions to acrobats to musicians there. While walking down…

Acrobatic Street Performers on Orchard Road
In January I happened to be walking down Orchard Road and I saw a crowd gathering. There were two girls doing an acrobatics performance for tips. They were really good, so I pulled out my camera and tried to record some of it. The lighting was pretty bad since it was late, but this is…

A Twitter Anniversary Card
My wife and I recently had an anniversary and we got a card in the mail from my dad. When I pulled it out of the envelope, the first thing I thought of was Twitter. Maybe I’m using Twitter too much, but this card looks oddly similar to the Twitter bird, and to one of…

“Knowing” Review
We finally got around to watching “Knowing”, with Nicolas Cage. Nic has done some bad movies recently, which is unfortunate since he’s such a good actor, so I wasn’t expecting a lot. It turned out to be a lot more engaging and entertaining than I thought it would be, though. The movie focuses around a…

Craving Food From Home
Lately I’ve had the weirdest craving. I really want a can of pork ‘n’ beans. Ya, weird right? Sometimes I crave NYC pizza (‘cuz no other pizza comes close), sometimes I crave my grandmother’s homemade biscuits and gravy (yup, made from scratch). Lately though, it’s just plain old canned pork ‘n’ beans. I suppose it’s…
