Total Recall

Just the other day, Mr Boo was musing about how a tiny detail – be it a song, a word, a smell … whatever – can be the catalyst in triggering an entire recollection or memory that is otherwise lying dormant in the reccesses of our memory banks. Last weekend while I was back at [...]

Made To Order

 
Guy and Michael Rubino – the creative geniuses behind Rain and Luce, two of Toronto’s acclaimed fine dining restaurants – were in Singapore recently.
They hosted a sold-out local-themed dinner on May 24, as part of the World Gourmet Summit.
Michael was the affable host for the evening, introducing each course and the accompanying wines while Guy [...]

Makan bola. Tidur bola.

Woe is me. Astro has unleashed football hell.
Hell for me because it is guaranteed that I will get no sleep if I am in my mum’s house, but footopia for mum and bro who will undoubtedly deprive me of precious hours of shuteye with their whooping and cheering as they watch their favourite teams chase [...]

Thai me up, Thai me down

Just had me some of the best damn Thai food in Singapore. Vermicelli soup with pork, and tom yam goong from Diandin Leluk Thai Restaurant at Golden Mile Complex on Beach Road. Thought I’d overdone it by ordering the tom yam and contemplated asking them to pack it to go, but nah… why put off [...]

Soul keeper

Die this life’s expectant death
The life will leave along with breath
Die to sleep to never wake
The man God made for Death to break
Feel the darkness looming low
Covering the body in numbness slow
Let the spirit free to fly
Leaving the body in earth to lie
Then decay my flesh and bone
Once mine to use not mine to own
This [...]

This mortal coil

A friend has just lost a loved one.
Death always makes me think about the time we have here on earth – not so much of my own impermanence, but rather how long it will be before someone I love is wrenched from my life. Having your pets die on you is hard enough.

Shoot-out at high noon

That’s Bryan in the “night vision” photo at left. Nope, didn’t get to try out the night game yet – Photoshop lah. Cool, eh? Played at TAG Paintball again, and it was as much fun as it was the last time. Anticipated a scorcher as we were to play at noon, but it was pleasantly [...]
