New MRT Feature in Singapore
I’ve talked a lot about how great the trains are in Singapore, and they’re just getting better. Singapore uses a mix of older and newer trains, but who can blame them? Their trains can’t be cheap, so it’s only common sense that they’d use them until it’s no longer feasible to repair them. On the…

Moleskine Notebooks
The first time I’d ever heard of a moleskine notebook was when I was reading a blog about a woman’s trip to Vietnam. She had taken a lot of notes in a moleskine and had scanned and embedded them as a slideshow into a blog post. I thought it was a really interesting idea, and…

OrganiCafeXperience & Teadot
Yesterday was my wife and I’s 1st anniversary. It was sort of a shame that she had to work, but we still tried to make the most of the evening by having a nice dinner. We went to the bottom floor of Century Square Mall to OrganiCafeXperience. She didn’t really know where we were going.…

Roman Gladiator Cosplay on Orchard Road
Just some random cosplay I saw down on Orchard Road (Singapore). It’s an advertisement for a gaming establishment that I assume does LAN gaming. I haven’t visited the gaming houses for network or online games in Singapore, and probably won’t. I prefer gaming on my own laptop, or on my XBOX 360.

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
A few weeks ago I posted an article about some Muslim food we’d tried. It was called Chicken Murtabak and it was pretty good. It took me almost a year to get up the courage to try out Muslim food. I think it was mostly because of paranoid fear over being poisoned or having my…

Sharing Sidewalks
About a year ago when I first moved here I saw some advertisements about an initiative that the Tampines Town Council was starting that would allow bicyclists to share the sidewalk with pedestrians. To the point of being a cliche, it’s common knowledge that in Asia, bicycles are used as a major form of transportation,…

Land of the Lost Review
On Sunday afternoon my wife and I went to the Golden Village theater at Tampines Mall to see Land of the Lost (2009). 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.…
