It’s already 6 full bleeping days into 2014 but I’m still not done with the awesomeness of last year. Even in the spectacular mountain range of YESSSS! which I have been hiking since 2009, 2013 was a pretty outstanding peak. Wonderful moments are difficult to distill into neat little bullet points, but I’m going to have […]

We must be now… mid-week? into that month of the year which everyone dreads/ looks forward to with morbid fascination. Someone once said to me, “What is it with Singaporeans and ghosts?” WELL, buster, we can’t help it if we get a little bit obsessed concerned when the gates of hell open for one entire […]

It’s that time of the year again when Singaporeans suddenly remember there’s this place called “Kalimantan” where things are burning, and it sucks cos the air gets smoky and shit, and why isn’t the government doing anything, and how come we still have to go to work.

Shanghai, I’m breaking up with you. There’s nothing wrong with you. It’s been a beautiful 2+ years. You’re beautiful. I’m beautiful. We’re all beautiful. But maybe we’re too beautiful for each other. This city is about 50 times the size of my home village country, but it’s still not big enough for the both of […]

Alone, alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide wide sea! And never a saint took pity on My soul in agony. – T.S. Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner So, you got dumped. Well at least there are some pretty awesome songs you can listen to! What is Life, anyway, without lots of […]

So, yes, today I got the ole music player nicked. Only that it wasn’t actually old. It was fucking new, new to the tune of 3 weeks or so. My old music player was a tiny little mp3 player that stoically endured hiking trips, 3 marathons, 2 half-marathons, swimming pools, countless gym/ run sessions and […]

We all know Shanghai is the land of opportunity. So a couple of pals of mine recently tapped into the city’s stream of happy goodwill and landed themselves as fun-ass gig at the Bulldog on Hengshan Lu and Wulumuqi Lu. It’s a cosy little British sports pub, just a little bit rough and tough, with […]

Victory Parade, y’all! Parts 1-4 in the previous posts. _____________ Part 5 Rollin’ in Smug: DJ Khaled “All I Do is Win” Duh, because asswipery is in the house. This track is actually quite fun in a I-never-got-over-my-frat-boy-years way. (Since we’re being assholes, is it just me, or are the ladies in this mv…. […]
