Wonder of wonders - good blogs originating from my little island do exist.

Check out Adri's the almost daily grind and Richard's Peking Duck for your edification.

There's another blog sort of close to home as well - from Hong Kong, presenting... the Gweilo Diaries. I just like the name.

How on earth did I ever miss this piece of news? Singaporeans urged to act like monkeys.

If the government is going to tell us to act like the animal of that current year every single year, next year will be a little tough - the Year of the Rooster. What are we supposed to do? Be the first up every morning? I mean, it's all well and good, dude, but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese, you know what I'm saying?
