Last week I had brunch at Antoinette at the Mandarin Gallery. This is my review.
Each year around this period I become particularly edgy and impatient. (See 2010) Yes, Christmas turns me into the Grinch. Everywhere I go, there are throngs of people, monkeys, slow lorises and gawking idiots. Usually, in other times of the years, these four creatures tend to be different individuals. But come Christmas season, they coexist…
Not a fan of astronomy, but I was intrigued by the Lunar Eclipse today. Singapore is one of the countries that can see the full eclipse, so I took the chance to take some photos. All these shots were taken at 200mm on a 1.6 cropped sensor. These pictures are cropped. I experimented with aperture…

The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is a book about other books about love. This is a harrowing tale of the lives of three graduates in the 1980s lost to religion, madness and love. Then again all three sometimes seem synonymous. The book chronicles Madeline’s conflict with living…
