In space, no one can hear your brain freeze

I read in the Sun­day Times that tick­ets for a ride on the yet to be com­pleted Sin­ga­pore Flyer… ok, let me rephrase that, because that sounds like you can ride on an incom­plete Sin­ga­pore Flyer, and your guide for the day might say something like,

Not every press con­fer­ence gives out a swag that con­tains panties, and I’m happy to be asso­ci­ated with one that is. Thank you Tri­umph. OK, now that you’ve closed the bra company’s win­dow, read on…

Every cigarette tells a tale

On August 19, 2007 · Leave a Comment · In Living

Every pic­ture tells a story. Some tell more than oth­ers. Espe­cially when there’s a blog­ger involved. Mr Miyagi’s intre­pid oper­a­tives dis­cov­ered this dis­carded cig­a­rette butt at a mall that wasn’t quite a butt, but more a lit cig­a­rette that was dis­carded after maybe one puff or none at all.

Naomi and I always order dou­ble espres­sos when we need our cof­fee (except when we’re at Caffe Bevi­amo Tan­glin Mall, because Eleen Cai makes a mean latte), and appar­ently, there are many Sin­ga­pore­ans who send their cof­fees back […]
