Café Cartel is a small café located on the first floor of Raffles city right at the city hall MRT exit.

Today's Mother's day! Mother's day dinner this year is one of the few typical last minute things which we managed to get properly settled without much planning beforehand.

Safra automated membership stole my service pay!

This is some quite dated news, but since most guys who gone through NS in Singapore will more or less be a Safra member, so I will just share it here. They sent me a letter early this year telling me to renew my membership, so as with most club memberships or magazines, when you never respond...

Dad’s Birthday Dinner at Red Star Restaurant

Backtracking on his birthday dinner, dinner last Saturday was at the Red Star restaurant along Chin Swee road, (around the China town/people's park area). It's a quite a large Chinese a-la carte food restaurant with food portions and quality is much better than few other I've tried in the similar league as well. The food they serve...

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my dad's birthday, the 5th of May. Happy birthday Dad! Year older, a year wiser! And there was cake! Not meaning cake in the game "Portal" though we did have chocolate cake, something rather similar to the one in the game (as referred on my previous blog post). You should be able to know how old...

Portal completion and some facts about GlaDOS

Got some time to complete the orange box game Portal today. For those who never heard of the game, it's one kinda unique first person shooters (FPS) meets puzzle games. Portal is developed by Valve, the same company which brought the world Half-life and brought the game Counter-strike into the retail channels. The staff on the Portal...

A day with the professors NUS GMS Final Interview

I had this funny mixed feeling of happiness yet guilt about going so far and being shortlisted for the final NUS scholarship interviews- As one of my main intentions was to study overseas in the UK, particularly in Cambridge and the Imperial College. I wanted to pull out, but I won't want to count my chickens before...

Tips and tricks on getting all Team Fortress 2 (TF2) Medic Achievements

With the new Team fortress achievement packs out, I bet everyone on the steam server will be raiding on medics hoping to get all the new achievements (aka new weapons loadout). Many of the achievements can be unlocked while playing normally on any causal server, but if you simply wish to speed up the process for the...

Dinner at Muthu’s Curry (Racecourse road branch)

Dinner tonight was at Muthu's Curry joint situated along race course road. It's a restaurant which serves authentic Indian cuisine in a relatively posh setting comparable to that of general hotel restaurants. Having eaten there, why don't I just share bit more about the place. The old Muthu's curry eatery used to be around the race course...

Here is the low down...

Singapore Formula Drift – USA’s Ryuji Miki Champion

Though I have a whack more for continental cars more than Japanese tuner cars, the recent formula tuner drift held on April 27 was a sold out crowd at the Changi exhibition center, with Team USA's Ryuji Miki taking the crown in his RX-7. You can check out more on their site at www.formuladrift.com.sg. So the Japanese...

Polysics- I My Me Mine (Strong Machine 2 Version)

Here is quite a cool dance by Mao Murakami an 11-year-old in "Polysics- I My Me Mine". Apparently she is called Strong Machine 2 which her group generally call themselves as part of a Japanese dance group focused on robotic dances. Shes good, especially doing the robot at 0:58, I think she can even trash many of us...
