PR Academy Annual Conference

Thank you PR Acad­emy for hav­ing us speak at its 5th Annual Con­fer­ence. This year’s topic was New Media and some­thing some­thing. I can’t really remem­ber because I was very sick. Nonethe­less, apart from a lit­tle stage fright when I realised the large audi­ence, we had fun with our lit­tle show and tell — which

Meme time

It’s meme time because Ram­bling Librarian’s tagged me. It’s called the ‘Best Blog For­ward’ meme, and appar­ently there’s a prize to be won or some­thing. Not sure. Never read prop­erly. But got prize. So, here’s my con­tri­bu­tion: The most pop­u­lar (most read) blog post on this blog is a TODAY arti­cle titled ‘Liv­ing in glass houses’,

Bronj

Today, while try­ing to shop for lights, I dis­cov­ered a new mate­r­ial. It is called ‘Bronj’. The sales­per­son rec­om­mended the ‘Bronj’ mate­r­ial for the stand­ing lamp, when we said we didn’t like the one we were look­ing at, which, she told us, was made of ‘Stan­less Stew’. She was really polite and help­ful, this sales­per­son, and

Where da weekend go?

It’s a pain hav­ing a bad flu and hav­ing to move house. You can call me Pro­fes­sor of Grumpol­ogy now, because I am still the big time grump. So grumpy I’ve griped at things I’d nor­mally let slide — such as Spizza’s lack­adaisi­cal chefs (the ones at Seran­goon Gar­dens — I don’t know about the other

Singapore Idle & Da Vinci Code

Jiak­turkwa Abish­ge­naden is not a diva You have a rea­son to watch tele­vi­sion, and that’s Sin­ga­pore Idle. Watch as the even­tual win­ner of the 2006 edi­tion gets a con­tract as a poster boy for a con­ve­nience store, together with a spon­sored sin­gle titled ‘My Love Is An End­less Big Gulp (If You’ll Swal­low)’.

Fountain of annoyance

Turn up the vol­ume. Noisy right? The sounds of water foun­tains are sup­posed to engen­der feel­ings of calm and seren­ity. Not the one in the base­ment of Raf­fles City, though. While eat­ing at a foun­tain­side restau­rant there, I realised that the damned foun­tain there was caus­ing the most annoy­ing racket — much like when your neighbour’s

Camp Comedy

I went and watched Fly Entertainment’s Camp Com­edy twice, and it was well worth it (not because of the com­pli­men­tary tick­ets). Kumar was a hoot, and eas­ily one of the best stand-up drag acts I’ve ever watched, and not just in Sin­ga­pore. If you want world class, that’s world class for you. One of the other
