Sundays are some of the most depressing days of my life. I’ll never understand why. But let’s not focus on the crap, let’s focus on what was good: Race Against Cancer 2010 Alex and I went to run the 7.5km competitive run. I was a bit grumpy having to weave around people who were slow [...]

I have a post all written up in my Blackberry for Boobquake today. Unfortunately, I’m so bone exhausted that the idea of emailing it over, copying and pasting it on the blog, then uploading the photo just about kills me. I can’t even haul off my ass to take a shower, eat a real meal [...]

“Thailand has mobilised about 40,000 security personnel ahead of mass rallies by “red shirt” opposition protesters over the coming days.” – from BBC Well, hello 2008, all over again. Only this time, I’m not in Thailand. Seeing news like this makes me happy I’m no longer living there. But that makes me sad because Thailand [...]

Stop it. You’re making baby jesus cry. First with the bad English then with the credit card fraud and now, cheating in an exam. Seriously, if I didn’t know any better (which I guess I don’t anyway), I’d almost think you were doing this to get the attention. But no one can be that depraved. [...]

But, as mentioned in the blog post. Where the love? More specifically, where’s the love from the local press? The local [...]

First up, I’d like to know what you were smoking, because, seriously?!! Thio Li Ann, teaching HUMAN RIGHTS IN ASIA. Just in case the lot of you weren’t quite on the up and up about what happened with this cuckoo nutjob in Singapore during the AWARE thing in April. This is a woman who wants [...]

Dude, Michael Jackson is dead. Dead, dead, dead. I read the news when I got into the office on Friday morning and couldn’t believe it. Its completely surreal. Sure, he was quite a weirdo and I had nightmares of him when I was a kid. But y’know, this guy is an icon from my childhood. [...]

I had doubts about the women in Singapore, but now my doubts are less certain. Because they have done it. Josie Lau and co. have been ousted from AWARE. Women have spoken and they don’t want a bunch of narrow minded fundies representing them. I’m just back from a weekend away, what a great thing [...]

Here’s an excerpt from a little something courtesy of Church of Our Savior that I found via Krisandro’s blog. For the uninitiated, its the church that Josie Law, current president of AWARE and some of her fellow exco members attend.
