Sitting On An Idea

Well this was a refreshing suprise. Something different from noise from boombox-capable handphones, people trying out 39 ringtones at full volume and spinning children wailing for attention. I didn't ask if he brought it with him just this once or whether he was smart in some ways all the time.

We The Robots

This is so funny! You have to go read these We The Robots comic strips on a regular basis. They will lighten up your life immeasurably.


Thanks Edalene.

Marvellous Mee Goreng @ Newton #79

I was asked to join Jo and her bf's Amos' frens for supper at Newton. I was introduced subsequently to Al-Noor Biasa (Stall 79) as members of the table slurped the mutton soup, dunked bread into the spicy broth, and gnawed on tulang for meat and marrow. Aiyaiyai. This stall is indeed a gem. The mee goreng is bestness.

And there is much history and makan stories to swap when I am surrounded by makan afficionados. This Indian Muslim stall once served food in Beach Road and now is here. We talked about Norris Road chappatis and bendi sabji, Northpoint Indian food, and Kallang mutton soup. The best briyani in the world has been lost though. Last eaten in Manchester. Yes, the Manchester in England. Singaporeans should go to Changi Village Hawker Centre and search in the same lane as the mediocre International Nasi Lemak (yes, over-hyped!) for Indian men who sell briyani and only briyani.

Go. Now.

Happy Birthday Shah

Did you know Wine Bar is 1-for-1 for law and media and Citibank card holders on Friday nights? That just makes it so much easier for some folks to test hospital response times and anti-rejection drugs for liver transplants (thinking way too far ahead).

And how was I to know Wine Bar wised up and served Sex On The Beach in pairs?



Hic! And off to Newton for 3am mee goreng!
