“And they called it puppy love”

Earlier this evening, I noticed a young teenaged couple getting all cutesy with each other in a food court. She was playing the pouty female in a huff and he was trying to cajole her. Soon she was all giggly and he started feeding her. Which is when I lost my appetite. Ugh. I can [...]

The magic weed

No, not THAT weed. But this stuff is pretty good too. I’m talking about daun kesum (laksa leaf, as it is known here in Singapore) or Vietnamese coriander.
I have a recipe for laksa pesto that I’ve been wanting to try, and today while I was at the supermarket I saw some very nice fresh bunches [...]

Near misses

I don’t quite know why but while I was making myself dinner last night, I started thinking about how things would be like today if I had taken a different path at the many crossroads in my life. ‘What ifs’ and ‘What could have beens’. I am not regretting anything or wishing that things were [...]

Recently at the movies

Managed to catch quite a few movies over the last couple of months. Here’s a quick review of what I thought of the flicks.
Spiderman 3

I thought it was a little too lighthearted – especially since this installment was supposed to bring out the darker Spidey. Too many corny lines and silly situations, and not enough [...]

The slaughter of dolphins in Japan

Colin sent me this video today. I guess he knows that I’m a sucker for most things marine.
This brutal massacre takes place every year in the village of Taiji, Japan. Having seen these beautiful, intelligent beings up close in the wild, it sickened me all the more. Even if you don’t think you have the [...]

The Milo saga – chapter 2

I received an e-mail from the people at Nestlé today, in response to the dissatisfaction that I’d expressed about the new formula Milo (see previous post). But as expected, my feedback has been brushed aside. Alas, I am just one voice. Old school Milo drinkers unite, I say! If we whinge loud enough and [...]

The iRevolution

The iPhone went on sale at all Apple and AT&T stores in the US at 6:00 pm last Friday (June 29). People were queuing from the night before, in eager anticipation of getting their geeky little paws on Apple’s latest gizmo.
To date, it is estimated that more than 700,000 iPhones have been snapped [...]

New home for the blog

MOVING HOUSE
Here we are
Decided to move to because a geek showed me some of the cool stats functions WordPress has. Residual researcher habits. Damn those ANOVAs…!
Anyway, there’s still lots of tinkering and tweaking to do, so don’t be surprised if you check back and it looks different.
Laters.
