Try ecto. It’s rilly, rilly good

I like being able to com­pose blog posts even when I’m not online — though that’s quite sel­dom. And while you could use any old text edi­tor or word proces­sor to com­pose and for­mat your posts, you’d still have to do a bit of cut­ting, past­ing or click­ing here and there.

So I’ve […]

The work­ing days between Christ­mas and New Year’s is either called ‘Noth­ing Week’, or ‘Non­sense Week’ by some of my more unfor­tu­nate friends. Those who have to work, that is.

(Those who are on vaca­tion — Nabeh, fark orf!)

If you haven’t already expe­ri­enced it, you’d have dis­cov­ered these past days that work has been really, like, […]

Good tidings to you

Some time ago, I spent Christ­mas Eve in Lon­don, cook­ing a din­ner of grilled salmon on pasta, fol­lowed by a dessert of cher­ries and then a bot­tle of Scotch. It snowed that night, and quite heav­ily too. I woke up Christ­mas morn­ing to take out the trash and fell on my backside […]

“We three queens of Orient are…”

It is a Christ­mas tra­di­tion to be a part of a pan­tomime. (No, really. The Chrissie Panto is a big part of Straits cul­ture). So I went and watched Wild Rice’s ‘Oi! Sleep­ing Beauty! The Wake-Up […]

Online com­mu­nity reac­tions range from amuse­ment to outrage

IN JULY, just after the National Kid­ney Foun­da­tion (NKF) scan­dal broke, some­one started a blog called “Jus­tice For NKF Donors” (justice4nkfdonors.blogspot.com) detail­ing key points in the inves­ti­ga­tion into the man­age­ment of the char­ity organisation.

At time of writ­ing, that blog […]

I’d tell you who is just as cul­pa­ble. Your friendly neigh­bour­hood broad­caster.

For accept­ing NKF monies to pro­duce toopid char­ity shows. (I don’t blame any of the artistes, such as Tay Ping Hui, who are on a con­tract with our friendly neigh­bour­hood broad­caster and as a result, are […]

The lat­est in wire­less gaming

They still sell this, the most non­sen­si­cal game in the uni­verse: Hun­gry Hun­gry Hip­pos! Four plas­tic hip­pos eat­ing marbles.

the clas­sic mar­ble munch­ing game, is viewed by many so-called experts as ‘a board game for young chil­dren.’ We beg to dif­fer, as those stuffy old […]
