On the advice of the mother’s friend regarding xiao long bao, the mother and J. headed towards Sembawang to check out a Shanghai-ese eatery. It’s located next to and outlet of Han’s, which recently has a big “Open 24hrs” banner hanging outside.

It was held at the University Cultural Centre (UCC) this year, a departure from the usual venue of LT13. While it was vastly more expensive [...]

Playhouse 2007: Thoughts on the Night Itself

Playhouse 2007 has successfully concluded. Unfortunately, having spent most of the afternoon preparing, all the participants of the M5 Playhouse play were unable to watch the other plays, and thus I am unable to comment on the other plays.

Post-”SISF 2007 Performance”: Initial Thoughts

It’s finally over.
The Singapore International Salsa Festival 2007 was held on the 19-21 October 2007 at Downtown East.
Though J. was tempted to buy a full pass, he knew from last year that there would be precious little time to attend workshops with the preparation and technical runs required for a performance, so he merely [...]

Software: SyncToy

It’s not often that J. praises a product that’s under Microsoft. Their reputation is such that even good programs that they buy tend to end up losing out to the competition.

Anaesthetists have too much damn time on their hands. Thank goodness. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have these absolutely ridiculous parodies sung by the UK duo of Dr Adam Kay and Dr Suman Biswas.

Surgery SIP at NUH: Plastic Surgery

Apologies for the lack of updates. It’s been somewhat busy lately on all fronts.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery SIP is a different experience from Upper GI.
Firstly, few people under the care of plastics are in danger of dying from conditions related to plastic surgery, except for burn victims, of whom we’ve seen none or only [...]
