That’s mean

Mar­malade Kitchen It’s no good to make fun of peo­ple when they mis­pro­nounce things. It’s the bad Eng­lish karma, you know, where you end up mis­pro­nounc­ing some­thing the same way as the per­son you’ve made fun of. I’m talk­ing about when peo­ple say, ‘that’s mean’, in this con­text: “This thing is very com­pli­cated. That’s mean I

Pamdemonium

Pam Oei is rocks! Pam Oei rocks! We already know that from her spot on our pod­casts, but to attend her con­cert, ‘Pamde­mo­nium’ tonight at the Esplanade, phwoar! Because you’ll run out of superla­tives try­ing to describe how good the show was. So, phwoar! Can? As mrbrown said as we left, Pam’s very spe­cial ren­di­tion of

Swing low, sweet lorry-iot

Thank you Uber Mommy, for the pic. Today, a lorry belong­ing to, or being rented by, a polit­i­cal party drove by our our office sev­eral times in an effort to swing my vote. Too bad I don’t live in this area, and too bad I don’t get to vote this year any­way. Else I might have

The Da Vinci Trail: Lincoln Cathedral

If you’ve read Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code, you’d have realised that the Lin­coln Cathe­dral is not fea­tured any­where in the book. (So peo­ple tell me, because I haven’t read the book). It is appar­ently, how­ever, fea­tured in the movie. But not to worry, you worry-wart Da Vinci Code fans, the Lin­coln Cathe­dral was sim­ply used

Remember, Prison Got No Broadband

No con­tent dur­ing elec­tion time So, today’s Nom­i­na­tion Day, and again, I don’t have to vote. Dang! Now I really have to find some­thing to do on the 6th. Pod­cast: the mrbrown show 27 Apr 2006: the per­sis­tently non-political pod­cast no. 3 (MP3, File­size: 1.4mb, Time: 00:02:44) Sub­scribe:[feed][iTunes] Tech­no­rati Tags: elec­tions, pris­ongot­no­broad­band, sin­ga­pore, singaporeelections

TODAY: Buzz remains for hustings

Remem­ber! Prison got no broad­band!” Politi­cians have stopped blog­ging but neti­zens con­tinue to give their takes on next month’s elec­tions SO IT seems you can blog about pol­i­tics dur­ing the elec­tion period except when your web­site has “per­sis­tently polit­i­cal views”. But Work­ers’ Party mem­ber Goh Meng Seng is tak­ing no chances as he stopped blog­ging after

The Da Vinci Trail

I haven’t read Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code, and it doesn’t look like I’m gonna. Still, it’s one of those books which you don’t have to actu­ally read to know a lot about, since almost every­one I know seems to have read it, and at one time or another, has talked about it. And, now that a

Eh? No ban on podcasts?

Update: The CNA news arti­cle seems to have been yanked off. Won­der what hap­pened. But no worry, it’s still on Yahoo! as well as mrbrown’s. Appar­ently Chan­nel Newsa­sia can pod­cast and video­cast blog­gers’ cov­er­age of the elec­tions dur­ing this, the elec­tion period. We’ve always known that mr brown’s and my slo­gan for this month, ‘Remem­ber,

Calling off the hunt

So we found a place that’s really nice — an apart­ment which is old enough not to be the usual low-ceiling small bed­room type of apart­ment. It’s got green­ery, lots of it, and a dusty old lift lobby that’s seen bet­ter days. But oh, the stress of hav­ing my mother, and my friends scream over the

Expensive mall alert

I can under­stand ‘no-smoking while wait­ing for your pas­sen­ger’, but to ask your chauf­feur not to have a burger and a small coke is kinda harsh. Tech­no­rati Tags: singapore
