		<title>Yesterday was National Good Service Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Well, it was for us. And well, not quite &#8220;national&#8221;, but Orchard and Scotts Road make up 90% of Singapore, so can lah. And this is not just to &#8220;balance out&#8221; the posts about the horrible service we&#8217;ve been getting.
At Orchard Ion:
A security guard held the lift door for Naomi, myself and Kai in pram [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remove the &#8220;G&#8221; from Stuart Anderson&#8217;s Black Angus Steakhouse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I wasn&#8217;t going to blog about this, but I saw Tuesday&#8217;s ST headline about bad service and realised that bad service was a national epidemic, and therefore had to be talked about, the same way we talked about SARS, and swine flu. Because talking about it spreads awareness, and when you&#8217;re aware, you&#8217;re less likely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quick someone give them a bone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Because lately the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been sounding a like it needs a pat on the head and assurance that all is well:
 SINGAPORE: Singapore&#8217;s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has said it is puzzled by comments made to the media by the former Romanian Chargé d&#8217;Affaires linked to a hit-and-run case here&#8230;

That&#8217;s the name of the Facebook group dedicated to documenting all the ugly things happening at RWS.
It&#8217;s kinda new, so maybe you might want to join and contribute.

		<title>Win a pair of tickets to Kumar: Stripped Bare &amp; Standing Up (Re-run)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Update: The contest is now closed
It was some time in the 90s, when I came back to Singapore for uni holidays and my friends told me there was an act I had to catch at this place in Bugis.
It was rude, raunchy and it was like nothing I&#8217;d ever seen before. I loved it, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Overheard at SMU</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Someone alerted me to a Facebook page called &#8220;Overheard at SMU&#8220;, and apparently, there are similar pages for  NUS and NTU. Among the entries posted on that page are gems such as this:

If this is true, Student 1 should be tried for sedition.

		<title>Singapore&#8217;s last resort island</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

So Resorts World Sentosa opened its many doors to 75,000 people over the CNY holidays, and judging from the things I&#8217;ve heard, it hasn&#8217;t been pretty.
They&#8217;ve been charging Singaporeans and PRs $100 a day to get in, so that they&#8217;ll only get the right kind of people at the 500 tables.
And I heard from a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Singapore&#8217;s more like China than China</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

It&#8217;s been as busy as we&#8217;ve expected this Chinese New Year, and with Kai nursing a new cold (how many do babies get in their first year?), we were expecting even less sleep than usual, and we were right.
That&#8217;s not to say we haven&#8217;t been enjoying time with our families and relatives jetting in from [...]]]></description>

		<title>The other WTO</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I imagined a joke about someone telling another person that he works at the WTO, and the other person asks, &#8220;Wow, how long have you been in Geneva?&#8221;, and the first person asks back, &#8220;What do you mean, Geneva? I work in Toa Payoh.&#8221;
People laugh at our obsession with toilets &#8211; and how as a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Our Ang Pow Collector is ready. Is yours?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Kai, Naomi and me wish everyone a New Year of peace, joy and happiness. To help yourself along the way, don&#8217;t drink and drive, don&#8217;t overeat, and don&#8217;t gamble away your Ang Pows at the 500 tables open tomorrow at the RWS casino.
