That’s mean

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 […]

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! […]

Swing low, sweet lorry-iot

On April 28, 2006 · 5 Comments · In The Ingterneck


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 […]

The Da Vinci Trail: Lincoln Cathedral

On April 28, 2006 · 3 Comments · In Places

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 […]

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.

TODAY: Buzz remains for hustings

On April 27, 2006 · 3 Comments · In The Ingterneck

“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 […]

The Da Vinci Trail

On April 27, 2006 · 7 Comments · In Places

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 […]

Eh? No ban on podcasts?

On April 25, 2006 · 5 Comments · In Laws of our land, The Ingterneck

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 […]

Calling off the hunt

On April 25, 2006 · 12 Comments · In Living

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 […]

Expensive mall alert

On April 24, 2006 · 3 Comments · In Living


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.
