I don’t really know where STOMP is going with this. Do you? My eyes hurt. A greater travesty: having posts like “bluetooth in ten easy steps!” Right, whatever you say, ST. You’ve got this whole thing completely WRONG. Maybe I should shoot and produce my own tech chick feature, right here on this site, and see [...]

As regards the addictive tv series called Battlestar Galactica. The most unlikely scifi-head, i.e. Z, my BFF, gets hooked on it. You affectionately call her “nugget”, indicative of your own addiction. She responds with the least expected: “who you calling nugget, nugget. I’m your frakking Viper instructor.” She interrupts you during your shower to ask the urgent question: [...]

What I’d rather be eating Sunday weekend food blogging lala I’ve been extremely hungry lately. So hungry that during a question and answer session following my presentation on Malaysia’s minority relations, in response to a comment from a foreign student “why don’t Malaysia’s minorities just move somewhere else?”, I actually said, “are you kidding me, the food [...]

If you’re a student at university, and you use a Mac, you’d probably appreciate Yep. It’s iPhoto for PDFs… if you’re writing term papers madly like me right now, hang out at JSTOR, and have accumulated more PDFs than you care for, you’d love it. my collection of readings, articles, syllabus notes, and… the economics textbooks [...]

Selamat Hari Raya Adilfitri and Eid Mubarak! I ran off to Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya for the weekend, for no particular reason other than to go to a proper Ramadan bazaar, and to eat. Food is such a big part of Asian culture, and this is seen in a big way in the Malay [...]

Have officially retreated from civilization until I’m done with my new Battlestar Galactica obsession, and it’s all his fault. I have BSG wallpapers, MSN icons, and it won’t be long before I get those dreams about Lieutenant Thrace. Because 35 episodes in 2 days can’t be natural. Neither is having “Impeach Gaius Baltar” banners on [...]

So I got off the bus, went over to KLCC, tucked into my Assam Laksa, fried chicken and sago gula melaka at Madam Kwan’s… and the guy are the next table says, “Are you Adri? I read your blog.” :) Aeroline is worth the extra I paid for — with the electrical outlet next to my seat, [...]

Part 1 Whether it’s a long-haul transatlantic flight or a regional short hop, or even just a trip out on a local bus, the process of meeting and eventually talking to strangers, can lead one to use quick heuristics in sizing them up. Perhaps it’s our automatic mechanism to do so in order to pass the [...]

A friend of mine will be having an exhibition on an interesting subject — opposition leader Chiam See Tong’s 6th electoral win (if you know anything about Singapore politics, this is a big deal). While you’re there, stroll over to the Singapore Management University’s Lee Kong Chian School of Business. We’re hosting Antoine Gonin’s fascinating exhibition [...]

Wah, ang moh also can speak Singlish. Do comedy skit somemore. The Mr (Light) Brown Show (that’s what they call themselves). Chalk up 50 points for effort, 30 points for weirdness (a good kind; their location references are all in my neighbourhood — since their school is located in my estate). Go opposite stall number 8 eat [...]
