I suffer from gout, a disease that has some of its causes in taking in too much of a certain kind of protein. Some reports also suggests that rearing animals for food purposes increases carbon emission. And there are a number of other reasons for getting used to a non-meat diet. That's why I told myself that I want to try it out, just like how the vegetarians do it, on the 1st and the 15th of

Something is quite wrong with me tonight. Just don't really feel like sleeping, although it is already 3:37am on the clock.Some urge to write, but the mind is blank when facing the edit box of the blog editor. It is not blank from having no thoughts, but it is too many thoughts competing for the processing time that my mind can spare for each of them, that left me with no coherent thoughts

There are hundreds, or even thousands of email marketing sites out there that claims that you can earn money from reading emails of their advertisements. Too bad these companies are usually U.S.-based and a lot of the advertisements turn out to be useless to someone like me staying in Singapore.

The last thing I expected from the fellow driver who pulled up alongside my car while stopping at a red-light junction was the question: "You want home theatre system?"I was on my way to work in the late morning today, and stopped at a red-light junction. I heard some loud thumping coming from my left, and the driver in the van that pulled up beside me caught my attention. Having past

I got interested in local politics during the recent General Elections, interested enough for me to spend hours of my free time to read up numerous blogs, search through the various Acts, comb through the Parliamentary reports, devour a book or two and attend a number of Open House Sessions at the Workers' Party headquarters at Syed Alwi Road.What brought me to the WP Open House Sessions was the

I thought it wierd that in the TV announcements this time round, there was no graphical example of what constitutes a valid vote and what constitutes an invalid vote. I wanted to be sure, since I am a first time vote. Being kiasu, I checked www.elections.gov.sg and also found only text explanation. As such, I wrote the following email to the Elections Department:In the "How To Vote?" section
