Updated:30th August, 2016 A recent facebook post about Takagi Ramen’s new outlet at Bukit Timah appeared on my feed. Not sure what the big deal was, apart from being cheap.

Updated:11th April, 2016 Re: How to strengthen Singapore’s public service broadcasting in digital age It’s simple. Create better content. I’ve not watched local TV for at least 5 years. The few times I watched it, the local dramas are cringe worthy, awards are self ball-lickingly congratulatory, and the news is always talking about how good the… Continue Reading »
Updated:31st March, 2016 (I approached Sony Singapore and they kindly provided the demo units for review) I’ll be honest. I was never really a big fan of Sony Speakers. My mantra for Sony sound products was – “If it processes sound, it’s good, but if it made sound, avoid”. This is especially so for products… Continue Reading »
Updated:31st March, 2016 So, I found myself in a situation where I had friends coming over to watch Singapore’s National Day Parade 2015. To watch the high definition broadcast on channel HD5, I’ll need to acquire the DVB-T2 digital signal.

Updated:19th February, 2016 Sometimes, the best things are the simple things, and sometimes, the thing that’s both the simplest and the best is a having lunch with old friends – even better when we try something new together to find that the food is good. hillV2 is a bit of a mixed bag. Not exactly… Continue Reading »
Updated:2nd February, 2016 It’s nice to see affordable shabu shabu buffet eateries popping up. It’s a ‘healthier’, less greasy alternative to Korean BBQ, but just as filling and flavourful with the variety of available soups and fresh vegetables. The first time I tried Sukiya was at at Katong 113. I bought a groupon without knowing that… Continue Reading »
Updated:16th February, 2016 I did a review for Kanshoku Ramen not long ago and I must admit, I didn’t come away impressed. I even questioned the nature of all the excellent reviews surrounding it. You can read more about it here. But, alas, once my hard critical shell’s been cracked, I’m, like most people, actually all… Continue Reading »
Updated:6th January, 2016 I hate Domain Registrars. They’re often difficult to use and are finding ways to squeeze more money out of you. I started out with Godaddy, which was a mistake, because, not only was their administrative panel hard to use, after the first year, they wanted rip me off by charging an addition… Continue Reading »

Updated:12th August, 2016 MINISO, an ‘international famous brand of leisure department’ that nobody outside of China has ever heard off, is putting its roots into Singapore’s fertile retail ground. Headquartered in Japan at 4-2-8 Jinja Mae, Shibuya, which just so happen to also be an Italian restaurant in the Setagaya Ward, MINISO commands an unprecedented reach… Continue Reading »
Updated:6th December, 2015 The following is the transcript, word for word, of a conversation between me and a guy trying to recruit me into an obscure Gold Silver MLM company selling Gold/Silver numismatic coins (Basically, Numismatics = Collector’s ). I deleted his first message sent to me…which is quite unfortunate, but the real important stuff… Continue Reading »
