”—Reli­gion—” by kinginex­ile

No, really. Enough already! Go!

Con­grat­u­la­tions on your fourth Cricket World Cup, and your third in a row, even though the grand final ended in a farce, and the real action was where the Lankans watched from home.

Today’s Spe­cial: Melting Pot

I’m think­ing that if we must remain cos­mopoli­tan, then we’d bet­ter do away with the damn Hua Yu Cool cam­paigns, or at least, match that with Bahasa Bagus and Tamil Ter­rific cam­paigns. Else we’re quite damned to becom­ing a mostly Chi­nese chauvinistic […]

Excerpt from Flickr:

…To cel­e­brate this global com­mu­nity, we invite you to join us in 24 Hours of Flickr, a day-long global […]

If I can dream

On April 27, 2007 · 13 Comments · In Media

Last night, I watched (sev­eral times because on Star World, they repeat pro­grams all day long — negat­ing the need for a smart tv set top box but that’s another story alto­gether) one of the most breath­tak­ing things I’ve watched on tele­vi­sion: the duet on Amer­i­can Idol […]

Eating well

On April 26, 2007 · 2 Comments · In Eating

I’ve decided to ask some of my friends to come over for din­ner more often instead of ‘infect­ing the heart­land with their idio­syn­crasies’.

I believe I’m quite a handy cook, and tonight, I made these dishes:

Mr Miyagi’s Any­howly Din­ner Menu:

Damn you creative people and your idiosyncrasies!

On April 25, 2007 · 15 Comments · In Laws of our land

Your, you know, idio­syn­crasies, are going to infect the heart­land!

“Even­tu­ally I can­not put a fin­ger on it. But I would say if this is the way the world is going and Sin­ga­pore is part of that inter­con­nected world and I think it is, then I see no […]

Painting flavours

There’s a lit­tle Japan­ese restau­rant on Sen­tosa whose name is an insti­tu­tion in Sin­ga­pore, and we were for­tu­nate enough to be invited there to eat our­selves to death last Saturday night.

It was by far the best Japan­ese food I have ever tasted in my life. I know Japan­ese food is supposed […]

Do not slap? Do not give high-fives? Do not use your hand? Do not wave? Do not stop? Any­thing but five? What?

Partial recall

On April 22, 2007 · 8 Comments · In At home, Living

While idly on the ingter­neck a cou­ple of morn­ings ago, we decided to see if the cat food we buy for Jake was on the recalled brands list. So we googled, and got on to the USFDA’s web­site, and to our shock and hor­ror, the list was like, damn long lor!

BYOB’s yer uncle

On April 21, 2007 · 4 Comments · In Living

This Bring Your Own Bag Day thing has got­ten quite a few peo­ple in a tizzy. I didn’t know of it until a friend men­tioned that he was charged 10c per plas­tic bag when he went shop­ping. He claims it isn’t unrea­son­able, given that, ‘in Tai­wan, you buy any­thing in […]
