  • Preparing the Cats for Immunization

    With my upcoming move, I’m working on getting my cats ready for export.  It’s a long and annoying process that’s adding stress to an already stressful situation, but luckily things are working out fairly well for us so far on that front. First off, some kind people were willing to donate funds towards helping my…

  • Yamazaki @ Tampines 1 Mall

    With all of the times we’ve walked right by this place I can’t imagine why we never poked our head in to look around.  I guess it was the really fancy cakes they had in the display cases facing out towards the mall walkway.  Tampines 1 isn’t really the place I’d think of when I…

  • Triple Homicide At Tampines 1

    When we walked into Tampines 1 earlier this evening, there was a large crowd gathered around the opening on the first level, looking across to the other side.  We were curious to see what was going on, so my wife and I quickly joined the crowd. On the other side of the opening there was…

  • Singaporean Funeral Procession

    Yesterday afternoon I was sitting at the kopitiam near where I live and I heard music, so I turned and looked up the road.  I saw what I thought was a parade and, being curious, I started taking photos.  I quickly finished my coffee and then moved down to the road where I could have…

  • Heathrow Airport Body Scanner Abused; Employee Takes Picture of Woman’s Scanned Image

    Back in January, when talk of putting body scanners in airports was running at full steam, I posted my opinion on the whole matter, which is, in short that it’s a horrible idea that offers up way too many opportunities for abuse of the system by less than ethical employees and the government.  I pointed…

  • Tapa King in Singapore

    Tapa King is a restaurant that serves a popular Filipino dish called tapsilog.  The restaurant is very popular in the Philippines and has finally opened branches here in Singapore at Lau Pa Sat (same place as where the only Wendy’s in Singapore is) and one at Century Square in Tampines.  There may be other branches…

  • Pulau Ubin and Young NTUC’s Run350

    A few weeks ago, my wife told me she’d signed us up for a running event called Run350.  It was encouraged among NTUC employees, since it was a Young NTUC sponsored event.  The purpose of the run was to gain attention for climate change.  The atmospheric carbon dioxide for February 2010 was 389.91 parts per…

  • Horrible Singaporean Buyer (SMS Conversation Screenshots)

    If you’ve ever tried to list something publicly to sell it, you’ve probably had a similar experience.  I doubt many of you have had to deal with this level of annoyance though. Just to give a little background, last month I sold a Nokia e51 I had sitting in a drawer, because, well it was…

  • MyTransport.SG: Why LTA Really Killed the ‘Park-a-Lot’ iPhone App

    A few days ago I wrote a post about how LTA had told Park-a-Lot developer, NiiDees, that his wildly popular iPhone app could no longer access real-time parking information from garages. The reasons cited were that the information leased to LTA was only allowed to be shown on its site, and not through iPhone apps.…

  • Discovering What Halal Really Means

    I recently came across an article about an ongoing problem in a town called Colne in the UK.  According to the article, the KFC there has switched to serving halal foods as part of a trial.  A KFC representative said this was done because there have been quite a few requests in the UK for…
