  • Cool Tree Sculpture at Vivocity Mall in Singapore

    My wife and I were at Harbourfront to meet a friend for dinner. She is visiting from the US on a business trip. She spent the day at Sentosa and while we were waiting for her we took a look around Harbourfront Mall. We’ve been all around Vivocity but we didn’t realize there was another…

  • Singapore Wedding Dinners Kick Ass

    So, a guy where my wife works got married in May.  Tonight he had his celebration dinner.  I was thinking it would be a small thing.  A get together of a few friends and office colleagues.  I thought wrong. This celebration was held at the Furama Hotel in Chinatown here in Singapore.  They really went…

  • MSG By The Bag

    Well, I was pretty busy today and I’m getting ready to leave for a wedding, so instead of along post, I’ll just post this: MSG, which has known negative health effects, can be bought by the bag here.  I always thought the stuff was illegal in the US, but I can’t seem to find any…

  • Typhoon Ondoy Aftermath, More Disaster

    (Image via bardagols on Flickr) The aftermath of Typhoon Ondoy is turning into a huge disaster.  I’ve been hearing bits and pieces of news and I figured I’d try to put it all together here.  It’s very disheartening to say the least.  Of course, you can’t expect a lot of good news in the middle…

  • Delicious Mooncakes!

    Ok, so before I came to Singapore, if you’d asked me if I wanted a Moon Cake, I would’ve thought you were joking.  It sounds like something out of a fairy tale.  Moon Cakes, fairies, magic mushrooms… you get the point. But, lo and behold, there are in fact moon cakes and they are… very…

  • Absurd Toy Depicting Animal Cruelty

    I’m not a seriously active animal activist… that’s a weird sentence… but I have two cats, and in the future hope to have a dog too. I love my pets and try to take care of them, and the idea of animal cruelty disturbs me. This toy disturbs me as well. I found the image…

  • So Much For A Clean Singapore

    One of the things that Singapore is known for is its cleanliness, so why is it being treated so badly? Look at this mess! This is a sitting area below an HDB block. It’s regularly like this as well. I’m sure the first thing someone will want to say is, “There are lots of foreigners!…

  • Heroes of the Typhoon Ondoy Tragedy

    Rice Photos via Flickr / CC BY 2.0 This is a photo of the Laguna area, roughly 60 km south of Manila. It’s not the exact location where the following events took place, but it’ll give you an idea of what the area looks like. Also, I found the sign in the image to be…

  • Hurricane Ondoy. What the hell happened?

    (Image Source: Times Online) Typhoon Ondoy is one of the worst disasters to hit the Philippines in years.  I believe I also read that this was the worst typhoon in 42 years.  It also raises a lot of questions about why there was so little warning, why there was such a poor response, and what’s…

  • Cream Cheese and Monkeys

    This is just a funny conversation I had this morning that I thought I’d share. I went downstairs to make a small breakfast and the house maid was washing some dishes. I dug around in the fridge a bit, looking for the Philadelphia Cream Cheese.  I held up a cup and said, what’s this?  “Bangus…
