The festive season in upon us. Anyone with a fear of fattening butter, calorie-laden sugar or cholesterol-hiking eggs should leave the country now. Cos its a week to Deepavali and Hari Raya and I can SMELL the cookies baking all over the island already. My house looks like biscuit factory. I could probably sell off [...]


As much as I went on and on about how chocolate cakes are overated in my last post, I do concede to their popularity.

Hmmm, Really fed up and pissed with Blogger so I’ve decided to jump ship and here I am. Hope this one works better than my previous attempt at immersing myself in the tech world…
