I've just woken up from the most bizarre dream. Dreams for me usually end up with me waking up with no recollection of them, but this one remains clearly in my mind's eye. As such, I've decided to record this down for posterity. Do excuse the somethings and I’m-not-sures; dreams are generally hazy like that. It’s about 8am, and I have to go to this stonewalled shop-house to

You! Loyal Reader! Yes, you! As you (or your RSS reader) may have noticed, I’ve got a new post up, chronicling the first day of my recent trip to Cambodia and Vietnam, or In-do-chi-na as they say back in the day. Based on demand (not really), and more importantly my ability to keep my restless bum at my Mac for an extended amount of time, there is a possibility that the

So come this time tomorrow, despite all my valiant attempts to retain his inimitable presence in our home, my beloved MINI will be on a boat to Indonesia. They come tomorrow, the representatives from the evil Car Reseller's Company, to drive him away as innocent collateral, and in his place will stand my brother's new car. In the best case scenario, he'll be resold (the MINI, not my brother) to a

So I'm sitting at the bus stop, waiting for our ride to arrive, when I suddenly get a tingly sensation on my inner leg, under my jeans (settle down, this is not that kinda story). It sorta felt like those Daddy-long-legs spiders I used to see around all the time back in primary school, so I swish my pants a bit to try and shake it out.After awhile the tingling stops, so I figure it must be an ant

And all topped off with a knowing nod of the head, in cocky acknowledgement of your appreciation of his percussionistic talents. If Jimi Hendrix were a drum playing monkey on a swing, this is what
