I was in Frankfurt and Munich last autumn, and when I went to shop at one of their malls, I saw a pile of sai sitting on the toilet bowl seat itself. I therefore learned first hand that German sai and Singaporean sai are the same colour no matter what race, language or religion we subscribe to. It […]
Just walked in to the Hair for Hope eventually at Bright Hill Monastery and got my scalp shaven. For me it's business as usual because I have gone bald most of the time these days, so the charitable event is just an ordinary haircut for me. Still, I bother to post this response because I saw lots […]
I am not against Amos Yee, but I also will not support him. To me, serving my time in the army as an enlistee is a privilege, as well as a right. I was downgraded to PES C9L3 after dislocating my left shoulder and being diagnosed with marfan syndrome, so I wasn't able to take on combat fit roles. […]
I used to work here at Jurong Town Hall in the year 2010. Back then it was known as iHub, and it was a commercial venue for startups growing in Singapore. I have fond memories of the place, because it was my first time joining a startup company then known as Greenwave Reality Pte Ltd. My career […]

I don't know and I won't know. I don't understand and I won't understand. […]
The lifelong learning course I have been waiting for is finally here. I registered for it once the new run dates are made available when the clock struck midnight, and paid S$490.50 for the course fees. It is quite expensive for a three day course, but throughout Singapore there are very few […]
Very grateful for a fuss free Qing Ming observance this afternoon. I spent around two decades fighting the views and traditions of Christianity and Buddhism, because my paternal grandparents died as Christians while my maternal grandparents died as Buddhists, so there was a gap in religious views […]
Don't know what's wrong, but simply just feeling very restless this afternoon. Went to Woodlands Civic Centre library to pick up a book to read, Economics has always been a personal favourite subject since my school days. […]
Some people believe in YOLO ie you only live once. Because of YOLO, the result is that YODO ie you only die once. If you believe in YODO, it makes sense to have a good funeral and cremation arrangements. For me, I am a Zen Buddhist and I believe in cyclical existence or reincarnation. This means […]
