Singapore as a Model for the US?

23 August 2009
I was recently in Singapore for a SAS customer event. Every time I visit, it has struck me as a country with good judgment.

44 Things you may not know about Singapore by Mr. Miyagi

8 August 2009
This is the first time in 5 years that I am physically back to celebrate a national event. It would feel slightly weird tomorrow not to watch the ritual parade via the Internet. Every year the television commercials would call the year’s parade the “biggest ever”. But strangely for me, it’s getting smaller and smaller. How [...]

How Different Groups Spend Their Day by NYTimes.com

3 August 2009
It’s really interesting how different groups of people spend their time in the US. I found it incredibly hard to believe that “Computer Use” is such an insignificant part of people’s life. I know if I had a graph drawn up for myself, “Sleeping” and “Computer Use” would top the chart. Whoops, time to refocus [...]

Obama's Inauguration

21 January 2009
A Bruneian friend of mine told me that last night, 15 minutes before the Inauguration ceremony of Barack Obama as 44th President of the USA, the entire country’s power grid got cut off. So as a result, they missed it. Well I had some chicken nuggets together at friend’s place to see him sworn in. Mickey’s [...]

I mean, if you say that Christmas is about being jolly and merry (like how we always attached this word to Christmas like a first name), then how come buying and receiving [...]
