Where have they buried him


Last Sunday five of us took a bumboat ride (see the red ellipse) into the middle of sea as in the map above and bade a final farewell to our father as we let his cremated ashes sink to the bottom of the sea bed.

No fresh salmon today

Was at Ichiban Sushi today. They were not serving any sushi or sashimi today thanks to the Icelandic Volcano the salmon had stayed put in Norway. $2.50, this must be our cheapest meal ever at that place. We hopped over to the food court for our lunch instead.

Smokeless Tobacco?

If you really and truly wanted to quit smoking, time and again I have seen, you just quit. There is no need for such new tobacco products or expensive smoking cessation clinics.

My Father

He passed away peacefully in SGH ICU on April 15 at 11.29pm

He was cremated on Saturday and his ashes were given to the sea off Changi the next day.

Can't believe that this has happened.

Our Tiger Woods

Last night I was suggesting to my wife that Singapore might have found its own Tiger Woods in Jack Neo. This morning I woke up to news of another woman he was aggressively pursuing. He didn't succeed and this makes him a small Woods. Now I wouldn't be surprised if more women come forward.

Microsoft: Not Shy Tactics

In today's FT
Microsoft in spotlight over Google case
When entrepreneur Shivaun Raff was looking last year for ways to advance her campaign against Google over what she claimed were anti-competitive practices, she found support from a deep-pocketed source: a Brussels-based lobbying group almost entirely funded by Microsoft

The Seattle behemoth is never shy about its tough approaches which I find distasteful.

Which one was a mistake

"Growth at all costs" according to Lim Swee Say wasn't a mistake. More than meets the eye.

Delaying KTPH by two years was a mistake according to Khaw Boon Wan. He is honest.
