While having lunch with the boys earlier, I saw an elderly man sitting across us. Did not pay much attention as was talking to the boys, but his t-shirt does attract me a bit. It says, “ask me how to pick up chicks at airport” Another one that shared by Retna while having breakfast – [...]

清明节是华人传统节日，也是最重要的祭祀节日，是祭祖和扫墓的日子。扫墓俗称上坟，祭祀死者的一种活动。 Pronounced as Qing-Ming [Mandarin] or Cheng-Meng [Cantonese], is one of the important Chinese traditional events of the year.

Have you ever wonder who cooked your food while you were eating at the food court, restaurant etc? Really, I mean do we really look at who prepared or cooked the food that we ate daily? Perhaps you have a good chef [spouse, parents etc], I am sure once in a while you would probably eat out [...]

Got a call from AIA call centre, aiming to ask us to buy more insurance – on top of what we already have. I was being “critical” by asking sure the company AIA will still be around and not affected by AIG big losses? The customer service personnel informed me that AIA is a separate [...]
