So do you find the photo of the Spanish basketball team racist? … I dunno… I think I may be missing something. I actually find it kinda amusing but then again I’m not Chinese.
It reminds me of the song “Turning Japanese”.
Did you watch the opening ceremonies? No wonder they had a major haze problem. But taken at face value, it was fantastic! Though it’ll probably leave one helluva giant carbon footprint.
My zookeeper attachment at the Singapore Zoo - It was more work than I expected but it was a lot of fun. Zookeeping is not a glamorous job at all and entails a lot of hard work so my hats off to the zookeepers. They really know a lot about the animals they take care of - and they are very well taken care of. Each animal has a name and even though they all look the same to me, the zookeepers know who’s who.

Paris Hilton’s response to John McCain’s ad is actually funny.
I mean, yeah she’s the butt of a lot of jokes but to be put on a national ad for a presidential campaign as some kind of a punchline is kinda mean. Likening Obama to Paris or Britney is a little exagg don’t you think?
Though put in Philippine context, that ad would make sense. Celebrities do win elections regardless of their political platforms.
I just put on giant gumamelas (ok, I’m not really sure what these flowers are..) on our wall leading to the kitchen. It reminded me of grade school days when we used to collect stickers and put them on our sticker books only this time the sticker is taller than me. It was fun sticking them on.
How can you not love Ikea. They’ve successfully combined aesthetics and functionality with mass production. So what if most of your stuff is also in everyone else’s house.
If you are photography enthusiast who’s looking to get your hands on your first ever digital SLR without burning a hole through your pocket, then this is for you.

Ina and I have been joining this jogging group at UOB centre on Tuesdays and there’s this sculpture in front of the building that I’ve always seen but never really bothered to look at closely.
I always thought the sculpture was Read More →
Yes, I did! My mother hates it. But I haven’t been this excited about anything for a long time. No. I don’t get paid. It’s actually serious volunteer work and I had to go through a screening process and I’m midway through the 3 month training. It’s kinda nerdy geeky in a way but I’m surprised most of the volunteers are relatively normal people (like me!). Most are professionals - which is pretty admirable coz had I been working I think this zoo thingy would be heavy on the commitment side.
On training days, I have to wake up at 6 am to get to the zoo at 9 am, and anyone who knows me knows I’m NOT a morning person. So yeah the first few training days, I was mostly disoriented and kept forgetting stuff.
And I can imagine people thinking something to the tune of - “Huh??? Zoo?? Uh-why??” First, let me emphasize Read More →
