Old-Style Singapore Shopping [Tourism in Singapore]
2008-04-15 10:41:00
While the malls and centres in Singapore are amazing for shopping buffs, the charm of the open neighbourhood shopping malls is still a must-see in Singapore. Try Ang Mo Kio, Toa Payoh and Clementi - all on the MRT line - for hidden bargains and that taste of local Singapore.

Tuesdays at Morrie?s [Book Review]
2008-04-13 06:53:00
This was a quick, pleasant read, and while it is hard to convey the emotion of what developed between professor and student, to me it came across as overly sentimental. This is not to cheapen what happened - it is a deeply moving experience, and the depth of that emotion is difficult to convey. I would ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Tuesdays at Morrie’s [Book Review ]", url: "http://ozlady.com/2008/04/13/tuesdays-at -morries-book-review/" });

The death of common sense

This arrived in my email inbox this morning. It was too true not to post here. I would add to the obituary the death of personal accountability. My parents told me about Mr. Common Sense early in my life and told me I would do well to call on him when making decisions. It seems he was ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "The death of common sense", url: "http://ozlady.com/2008/04/11/the-death-o f-common-sense/" });

Intelligent Studs? Thank you Singapore Govt!!!
2008-04-09 12:13:00
You seriously have to laugh when you receive these announcements from the Singapore LTA. It’s good that they analyse traffic and accident statistics and come up with these ideas, however there are a couple of things that were laughable. Firstly - what do you think when you hear the word ’stud’? I did a straw poll in the office and all of them (mostly men) said someone who is masculine (and normally handsome). Now we have these parading our roads!??? Not to steal Mr Miyagi’s thunder, coz he does a great job of picking on the Gahmen* (in an amusing and completely apolitical way, of course), but won’t having handsome AND intelligent studs wandering Singapore’s hazardous intersections just make the traffic incidents higher? Bringing it back to reality, however, there is one flawed assumption in the whole IRS system (it’s Singapore - we gotta have an acronym). Read the following from the LTA announcement: IRS are blinking Light Emitting Diode (LE...

Drumming Again
2008-03-17 12:00:00
Well we’ve been at it again - another concert and it was fun, even though we got rained out. It was done in conjunction with a local music school at Queenstown - Fingerwerkz… so I decided that I would do a time-lapse video. The first part is the Fingerwerkz kids - really cute, and the second part is the drumming group. I added some music to make it all a bit interesting. I got inspired by a post on LifeHacker for the time-lapse video thing. I took all the photos and threw them into Windows Movie Maker at 0.375 seconds per image. It turned a 1.5 hour event into a 4+ minute overview (over 800 images, however). I’m pleased with the results, and now I have an excuse to go and buy a 4 megapixel webcam for next time! (LOL - insert wicked laugh here and watch DH cringe!) Check out the video at:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmzTtM0 DRfg ShareThis
