In case you’re wondering, I haven’t disappeared off the face of this earth yet – I’m just on vacation on the West Coast of USA, and I didn’t have time to blog this before I left. In the past 9 days, I’ve covered LA, Vegas, the Grand Canyon and Monterey; and I’m now on the […]
The Mondays after a long weekend or a vacation are the worst. You get into the office, and it’s like walking into the set of Night of the Living Dead. Everyone is a freakin’ zombie: blank eyes, slack mouth, and shuffling (not the LMFAO kind). This week started with one such Monday – we had
Say you’re a young, sexy, unmarried Singaporean with no commitments: no student debt, no mortgage, and earning a comfortable income at an awesome job.

And since it’ll be a couple of months before Singapore establishes its own Do-Not-Call registry, I figured I might as well have fun with these unwelcome calls when I get them: Marketeer: Good
What’s the most annoying part about being an “adult”? No, it’s not the fact that you can’t pick your nose in public anymore. Or that every time you walk into a Toys ‘R’ Us by yourself, parents eye you suspiciously and assume that you’re gonna kidnap someone. Or that it’s only 10pm on a Friday
