2009 Christmas Decorations Along Orchard Road, Singapore
On Saturday night at 7:30 PM the Christmas lights along Orchard Road were officially lit. I wasn’t there for the ceremony, as I was laid up in the house with a mild case of food poisoning, but we can’t have everything right? I decided to tough it out and get my butt up to Orchard…

Toffee Nut Lattes
The toffee nut latte is the one exception to my rule about not liking Starbucks. Most of their drinks are watered down tasting and overpriced.

Singapore Rejects Firm Emissions Targets? What About The Elephant In The Room?

Talking Politics With A Cab Driver
You ever get in a cab with a driver that is really eager to chat? What choice do you have? You’re sort of a captive audience. Sometimes I try to deter them by giving short answers, but this guy seemed really excited about sharing his point of view. The conversation started out with a brief…
