Jollibee in Singapore
Well, sort of. It’s actually Happy V, the knockoff of Jollibee. It’s located on the 2nd floor of Lucky Plaza Mall on Orchard Road. Here’s a photo: My wife was really excited to see that they serve palabok, but I’m not very fond of Jollibee so I doubt I’ll enjoy the knock off much either.

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. What you wind up paying for is the name and the ‘experience’ of sitting in their cafe. The toffee nut latte is still damned expensive, with the ‘venti’ costing 7.30…

Singapore Rejects Firm Emissions Targets? What About The Elephant In The Room?
A little over two weeks ago, the world’s blogosphere observed an event known as Blog Action Day 2009.

I saw this posted and it was so funny that I had to laugh. This is great advertising and is sure to catch the eye. I thought it was a missing child report when I first saw it. I left the number visible because the person who posted this deserves the added exposure for being…

Seriously Funny Singaporean Comedy From YouTube
This is some seriously funny stuff. I wasn’t sure about it at first, and you really have to pay attention to understand what’s being said, but you’ll be laughing by the end.
