Two kinds of horror

On January 31, 2011 · 2 Comments · In Parenting

I got dia­per duty Sun­day after­noon when we were at Paragon because Naomi was busy at some shop — so Kai and I made our way to the dia­per change room at level 5 to get him cleaned up.

He knows the drill, and he’s famil­iar with the change room, which is small, […]

Milestones

On January 30, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In Parenting

Kai pooped in his potty. Not once, but twice and almost three times.

He missed his hat­trick only because I was busy putting the dishes in the sink and he went in his dia­per before I could sit him down.

Then there’s the read­ing. About a week ago, he started read­ing the let­ters on his alpha­bet biscuits […]

A merlion in your room

On January 29, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In Media, Places

They’re build­ing a kelong-like struc­ture around the Mer­lion and (wtf) turn­ing it into a hotel suite, and this is what it’s going to look like.

No word on whether they’ll keep the water run­ning, so it’s like a spa or some­thing. No, wait! A bidet! Japan­ese guests would like that! Just […]

DIY Stroganoff

On January 28, 2011 · 2 Comments · In Eating

We haven’t vis­ited a restau­rant that serves beef stroganoff since the last time I wrote about it, and sug­ges­tions from read­ers haven’t been taken up either — too far lah, sorry.

But we did man­age to fix up a din­ner using Jamie Oliver’s recipe for it, which requires “a small […]

The day someone said Cheebye on radio

On January 28, 2011 · 9 Comments · In Media

I only ever lis­ten to the radio while dri­ving, or when one of our friends is host­ing a radio show. But this year, the sta­tions (except the lonely non-Mediacorp ones) have been con­stantly remind­ing lis­ten­ers that radio in Sin­ga­pore is 75 years old.

They’ve been air­ing radio DJs talk­ing about their favourite radio moments, and one […]

Kumar’s Amazing Race

On January 23, 2011 · 14 Comments · In People

The past cou­ple of years, I’ve said it’s a priv­i­lege work­ing with the fun­ni­est drag queen on the planet.

Nothing’s changed in that respect. In fact, it’s been even more fun explor­ing all things Indian. From Lit­tle India to real India. We’re still try­ing to get to the bot­tom of the whole […]

Ingterneck company boss pwned by Rockson’s Horse

On January 19, 2011 · 1 Comment · In The Ingterneck

It’s been an enter­tain­ing cou­ple of days online.

I guess some­times when some­one appears rude to you, you might take it per­son­ally and react in the dumb­est pos­si­ble way. I feel for Nuffnang’s @bossming, Mr Cheo, cos it’s pretty hard to live down this epic pwnage, espe­cially if you’re the boss […]

Construction mystery redux

On January 11, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In At home

Last March, I wrote about the con­struc­tion site next door mak­ing all sorts of strange noises very early in the morn­ing, and then being quiet the rest of the day, and got a great expla­na­tion in the com­ments from some­one in the con­struc­tion business.

He also explained how, at the end of a […]

How come we didn’t think of doing this before?

On January 10, 2011 · 1 Comment · In Eating, Places

We were short of a cou­ple of organic ingre­di­ents for a food project Sun­day after­noon, and the usual super­mar­kets didn’t stock them. So we called up a cou­ple of places in the “far north west­ern farm­ing cor­ri­dor” and drove out.

It only took 25 min­utes to get to the first farm, and we got […]
