  • Photos From The Kitchen

    It’s amazing what you can manage with a simple, handheld camera sometimes.  My wife was in the kitchen preparing a Filipino dish called sinigang and I happened to have my camera out, taking photos of the Chinese New Year decorations around the house, so I snapped some photos of some of the ingredients: A leafy…

  • McCafe Drinks

    Last year in June I purchased a drink at McCafe for the first time.  It was the outlet in Pasir Ris’s White Sands mall.  I ordered a double chocolate frappe and it was the most horrible drink I’d ever had.  It was watery and bland.  It didn’t taste of coffee or chocolate.  It mostly just…

  • The Problem With The 72 Virgins Theory

    I was thinking about this theory of Islamic martyrs receiving 72 virgins and it doesn’t seem to add up.  This doesn’t really have anything to do with Singapore, but I’m an American who previously served in the Army and spent time in the Middle East, so it’s an issue that I have some interest in.…

  • 2010 Chinese New Year Home Decorations

    Another big holiday in Singapore (other than Christmas, where they go berserk with decorations) is Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year.  Last year we missed it, but this year we’re planning on being front and center at whatever celebratory event Singapore has to offer. With the holiday upcoming people are already starting…

  • My Cat Ripped A Lizard’s Tail Off

    This is the first time I’ve ever seen this actually happen in person so it was pretty neat for me. I was sitting on my bed, playing with my cat when she leapt off and ran towards the door.  I looked to see what she was doing and she was chasing a small lizard around…

  • Mini Marble Is Getting Spayed

    I’m not sure if I’ve ever posted photos of Mini Marble here but she was picked up tonight to be taken for spaying. You see, Mini Marble is a stray cat, a community cat, here in Pasir Ris. She’s a small kitten of about 7 months and we see her every day as we walk…

  • Aoba Ramen

    Manpuku at Tampines 1 has a stall called Aoba Ramen (I think) that sells some really kick-ass dishes.  I hadn’t noticed it before, probably because I always associate ramen with that cheap, instant stuff I’m used to seeing in grocery stores.  After reading some blogs about Japan though, I stopped to give it serious consideration…

  • Almost Time For Chinese New Year’s

    If you don’t know, Chinese New Year’s is going to fall on February 14th this year.  That’s right!  Right on Valentine’s Day!  So, now you can spend the day on a date with your significant other and then spend the night celebrating at the parade. Also, if you don’t keep up with the Chinese year’s…

  • Avatar Used To Justify The Belief That 9/11 Attacks in NYC Were Staged

    “In September 2001, the World Trade Centre was attacked allegedly by terrorists. I am not sure now that Muslim terrorists carried out these attacks. There is strong evidence that the attacks were staged. If they can make Avatar, they can make anything,” said Dr Mahathir during his speech at the General Conference for the Support…

  • Singapore’s First Wendy’s Is Great, But Why Lau Pa Sat?

    We’ve known Wendy’s was here in Singapore for quite a few weeks but we just never took the time to get out to it.  The reason is that it’s not situated in a very easy to get to area.  It’s way out in Lau Pa Sat.  First off, that’s a good distance away from where…
