Cosa nostra

For us to live any other way was nuts. Uh, to us, those goody-good peo­ple who worked shitty jobs for bum pay­checks and took the sub­way to work every day, and wor­ried about their bills, were dead. I mean they were suck­ers. They had no balls. If we wanted some­thing we just took it. If […]

Look! What’s that up there?

The week starts off well enough, and then you get the Wednesday sag.

But of course, there’s always this blog to dis­tract me by giv­ing me things to write about, pic­tures to look at, and pod­casts to lis­ten to. And remem­ber, if you think it’s all going to the dogs, what about […]

WTF is an IR?

On April 19, 2005 · 13 Comments · In Media

Gam­bling is so much a part of life here that it is ridicu­lous to see how much fuss has been made about build­ing the two ‘Inte­grated Resorts’.

I’m game for a flut­ter once in a while too. So do my friends. We gam­ble on any­thing: the stock­mar­ket, when to buy a car because […]

You just wait and see

Don’t believe? My father told me ages ago there was gonna be a casino in Sin­ga­pore. He’s usu­ally right about these things. (He told me in 1992 that you would be able to buy mobile phones for $0 if the tel­cos made you sign a two-year ser­vice con­tract or something).

And now that you’ve seen […]

Tracy Huang, Space Invaders and the girlfriend from hell

On April 18, 2005 · 37 Comments · In Living, People

I once briefly dated this girl from col­lege and we had an intense relationship.

First time I stayed over, she told me, ‘my step-mum’s at home, so we’ll have to behave’.

I said ok, and off we went, qui­etly. I got out to the kitchen to get a drink, and I’m think­ing to myself, I […]

The Yao-Jiu-Ling-Ling Show

On April 17, 2005 · 31 Comments · In Media

There’s another episode of the NKF Char­ity Stunt Show on telly later tonight. More celebri­ties will be strung by their um.. strings, sus­pended until peo­ple can dial the 1900 num­ber to donate money to let them down.

The NKF is a very char­i­ta­ble organ­i­sa­tion, so please don’t say I am mock­ing their efforts to bring much […]

Thanks to the time on Short­phat K’s able hands, I have a ‘This blog got Miyagi-ed’ sticker .

I like this one bet­ter though:

What’s better than a Chan Brothers’ Holiday Package?

Selarang Camp is overseas meh?

A 21-day all expenses (well, almost) paid trip to Far North Queens­land, is what!

Yes, I’m try­ing to hype it up, perk it up, and do as much as I can to avoid being sian 1/2 about the whole deal. I mean, who gets two sets […]

Girl with the plastic lei

On April 15, 2005 · Leave a Comment · In People

Tonight the Girl with the Plas­tic Lei came and had din­ner with me, and I lis­tened to her talk.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me, she said. I don’t know what’s wrong, is it just me or is he not the one or is it just me?

I don’t know, Girl […]

Where would you rather be now?

On April 14, 2005 · 28 Comments · In Living

When you’re my age, you’re old enough to be con­scious of hang­ing out with peo­ple either a lot older than you and even more con­scious of hang­ing out with peo­ple a lot younger than you.

You look at the old fogies and you snig­ger, and then you shock your­self when you cal­cu­late how few years there […]
