Do You Know What You’re Eating?
Sometimes I sure don’t. There’s a buffet looking hawker stall near where we live. I’m sure there’s one in almost every hawker center.

Looking For Eggs in Singapore?
I’ve moved around the world a lot, but in most places I’ve been I was on a military installation, so things were more or less the same. Well, the same in that one military installation is pretty similar to the others, especially when it comes to the stores. There were times when I lived off…

Islanders And Pride
Recently I was reading an article on Rubber Slippers in Italy that reminded me of some fun times I had in the Army regarding people from island nations. Ribbing, teasing or joking is not uncommon in the Army. In some respects, being in the Army was like being in an extension of high school, except…
