McCafe: I’m Not Lovin’ It
A few weeks ago, a guy I communicate with regularly on Twitter asked me if I’d been to McCafe and tried the coffee there. He’s not much of a coffee drinker but I think I was complaining about Starbucks prices and he mentioned it as an option. I’d never really considered going to McDonald’s or…

Counterfeit Goods in Singapore
Prior to just a few weeks ago, I had no idea there was a counterfeit goods market in Singapore at all. During my trip to Kuala Lumpur I saw plenty of counterfeit goods that looked great. When I used to think of counterfeit, or “bootleg” items, I always thought of cheap quality, or of something…

Coraline Movie Review
Coraline isn’t going to be released in theaters in Singapore until September 17th, 2009, but I managed to get a copy early and my wife and I watched it tonight. I have to say I’m quite impressed with it. First of all, it’s visually stunning! These snapshots are a little fuzzy because I took them…

Muslim Food

We weren’t really expecting much from this movie, but it looked entertaining and we weren’t disappointed. The movie has a fairly simple plot. Don’t go into this looking for a complicated story.…

Using Swine Flu to Sell Your Product
Swine Flu has to be the most covered and most talked about event in the last two years, and it’s not even that serious. From what I’ve read, the fatality rate is only 0.1%, which is less than the fatality rate of actual flu. It’s a new disease though, and it’s in the media limelight,…

3 Days in Kuala Lumpur: Part 10: Heading Home
Before we knew it, our short 3 day trip in Kuala Lumpur was coming to an end. On the morning of the third day we were there, we got up at 9 am to make sure we wouldn’t be late. We really had no idea how to get back to the airport. On the way…

3 Days in Kuala Lumpur: Part 9: Street Food
It goes without saying that when you visit a place you have to try the local food, and you’re not going to find authentic local food in chain stores or fancy restaurants. Not typically anyways. We spent most of our 3 day trip looking around the Chinatown area and it has a fairly decent mix…
