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.

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.

I was looking forward to this solar eclipse. I’ve never even seen one before and even though this wasn’t going to be a full solar eclipse it would still have been a first for me. Somehow, I managed to let it slip my mind, and at 4:20 I found myself staring at my computer screen,…

Cleaning Up After Yourself At Fast Food Establishments
The past two years saw a similar campaign for food courts, but they were not well-received.”Encouragement has been done a lot, in schools, in army camps, in polytechnics, in universities, everywhere. But once they go to a food court, they have the habit of just (leaving the trays behind after eating), which I think is…

When Dogs Go Wild: A Singapore Misadventure
The afternoon was pretty much like any other. I was getting ready to go out to dinner when I realized that I needed to wash a load of laundry. So, I went down to the laundry area with my basket, sorted the clothes into piles, put in a load and started it up. When I…
