Mediacorp tries to be funny again

I thought the “Per­anakan Ball” was Mediacorp’s worst idea of a joke. Then my friend and actor Bren­don Fer­nan­dez wrote about some­thing else our fine broad­caster appar­ently did, appar­ently for laughs: Medi­a­corp has been call­ing up actors and mak­ing appoint­ments with them to attend an audi­tion at Medi­a­corp for an English-language project which has been …

Taxi driver’s good turn

We all know that the worst dri­vers in Sin­ga­pore are those that drive a cab. They change lanes with­out sig­nal­ing, stop where it clearly says no stop­ping, brake sud­denly before that, and gen­er­ally get on your nerves when you share the road with them. But fair’s fair, and I have to tell you about this taxi …

Maybe not so useless

Hi Xxxx, Um.… I don’t sell these things. I only blogged about them. Good to know that you don’t con­sider them com­pletely use­less, though. Cheers, Ben P.S. Should I start sell­ing these things?

Nice

Naomi and I were bummed we couldn’t join the other pink dot­ters at Hong Lim Park yes­ter­day. It warms the cock­les of one’s heart to see peo­ple gath­er­ing for some­thing as nice as form­ing the let­ters of the word ‘love’, doesn’t it?

Zombie

Our baby boy Kai is grow­ing big­ger and louder every day, and we kinda sorta know what cry is for what even if the sound of it changes week to week. This week, most of his cries are sound­ing like the cho­rus of a song by The Corrs. More impor­tantly, we have finally reg­is­tered his birth, …
