Hi ho, Silk Nano Silver Technology, away!

And on the 13th floor, I learnt a lot about myself

They always said that the library was a good, quiet place for intro­spec­tion, but NLB might have gone the extra mile with this. I think it’s free too. Tech­no­rati Tags: National Library, Engr­ish, Singapore

When time slows down

One of the very large dents. I would have sub­mit­ted this to STomp! but they’re full of pho­tos of cars with dents already. It’s funny how smooth the roads are these days, just because the IMF and World Bank cir­cus was in town recently. But that didn’t pre­vent some very large debris from lit­ter­ing the

Just add water?

Just add water, and voila, babies and cream! I don’t get this brand name. Peaches and Cream, ok; Cook­ies and Cream, ok also. Because you eat those things, right? Tech­no­rati Tags: Singapore

One plus one is…

If you wanted a glos­sary of bev­er­age def­i­n­i­tions, go no fur­ther than Olio Dome, because their menus are like that, describ­ing to the last drop what you might order, just so you’re never in any doubt that a bev­er­age like a dou­ble espresso actu­ally con­tains two shots of espres­sos and not one. Because that would

Singapore really idle

A Big Gulp for the weener! Con­grat­u­la­tions Hady Mirza! What was that lip-syncing extrav­a­ganza by elim­i­nated con­tes­tants about? No, really! Vart vas dad­about? Tech­no­rati Tags: Sin­ga­pore, Singapore Idol

Copywriter from hell (or just a really bad school)?

No, think of wip­ing my back­side, think of you. “Think of tis­sue, think of us”, reads the tagline. I am cer­tain this was writ­ten by the copy­writer who wrote the equally mem­o­rable taglines for Caffe Roma, whose ads on taxi bumpers and buses read, “Less of Fat, Less of You”; and Nescafe Sin­ga­pore (strangely no local

Always bring the weather

It was really cold one morn­ing last week, and I mean, like 24 degrees cel­sius type of cold. The type that makes you want to head out to a cof­fee kiosk and have a com­fort­ing cuppa cof­fee and an equally com­fort­ing piece of con­fec­tion. Like a brownie or some­thing, because they were going for $1.

Biennale? Binally? Binolly?

Enjoy One of the acts that didn’t make the cut for Sin­ga­pore Bien­nale 2006, which is, like, some arts fes­ti­val, or some­thing, but then who really knows, these days, with all these fes­ti­vals and show­cases and meet­ings and stuff. Tech­no­rati Tags: N73, Nokia, bien­nale, Singapore

Something new everyday

The learn­ing never ceases. Thanks in no small part to samu­rai bunny, I learnt today that LVR stands for Laser Vagi­nal Reju­ve­na­tion, and not “Loose Vagina Recon­struc­tion”, and which can be had, pre­sum­ably for a fee, at Park­way Aes­thetic Clinic, whose web­page title reads “Designer Labial Vagino­plasty® — Loose Vagina, Tighten your Vagina”, as if
