Kai’s menu

This is Kai deter­mined not to open his mouth to eat any more car­rots. In over a month of eat­ing solids, he’s devel­oped a pref­er­ence for green stuff and for pump­kin.

If you have a business idea that you think is too far fetched, the Russians won’t

I got an email from an old friend telling me, among other things, that “all good ideas will come to pass some day”. One of them may just have.

Christmas gift ideas: give a pair

We were get­ting last-minute gro­cery for din­ner at Cold Stor­age Takashimaya when we saw out­side the cashier’s, a stall sell­ing Crescendo flavoured olive oils and aged bal­samic vine­gars.

What’s a sporting event around the Padang that’s better than F1?

It’s held at and around the Padang, it lasts a week­end, it brings in teams from around the world, it’s got beer girls and after-parties, but it’s not the F1 GP. It’s a sport­ing event with a way longer his­tory — 62 years — played at the Sin­ga­pore Cricket Club’s grounds in front of city hall, …

Christmas gift ideas: get what Jesus got

If you’re in the busi­ness of giv­ing presents at Christ­mas, then you sure as hell bet­ter start now. (Yes, I did think about whether it was wrong to put hell and Christ­mas in the same sen­tence, but is just a fig­ure o’ speech, yeron­ner!) You might take the path most beaten and take the top box …
