NASA is not getting more and more ridiculous. In fact what they are doing make sense. At least to some weirdo powerful figure or organisation out there. Some say is a splinter group in a powerful country with great military might (almost like a GI Joe command) is gathering momentum to “save” the [...]

Again and again we read of people, especially the elderly who accidently fall from the open MRT platform onto the tracks. Some survive while others could have sustained internal injuries given the height. Today (21 Sep 2009), there is another incident. A 61-YEAR-OLD man fell onto the MRT tracks at the Dover station on Sunday [...]

As we already know about the potential of geothermal triggered-quake and its related landslide with disastrous consequences as demonstrated in Java island recently (2 Sep 2009), we should not continue on our quest for this “natural” source of power from both the hotsprings in Sembawang (link) and also “another hot spring, such as the one [...]

I have earlier penned about the possibility of a “Geothermal induced quake in Beijing” (Mar 2008). Since then, there had been other quakes and now ongoing drought threatening millions of lives in China. The dilemma of trying to balance the need for cheap energy and water resources is a difficult line to tread. For [...]

Just read that Mr Calvin Lee, 42, the CEO of Deutsche Telekom Asia, died during the swim segment of the Osim Singapore International Triathlon. It is sad to learn that his buddys’ claims that he was a strong swimmer. But I am not sure if it meant that he had lots of experience swimming in [...]
Chinese Cooking “Wok Hei” is not really healthy…. if you really think about it.

In Chinese cooking, often we would find someone raving or reminising over food that had been cooked in extremely high heat over a wok, which we term as food imbide with “wok hei” (in cantonese). It literally meant “wok aroma” whereby you can taste the infusion of the red hot wok and burnt elements in [...]
Banquet foodcourt gets a “D” grading from me.

I often go to Causeway Point with my family for dinner and sometimes I visit the Banquet foodcourt for Char Kuay Teow. However, what peeve me off, is that the cook at the Char Kuay Teow stall persist in using a plastic plate to scoop the food from the blazing hot wok. I reminded the [...]

Worry about methylisothiazolinone in nano cream

I have numbing sensation on both my limbs and was assured by a private neurologist that I am fine and prescribed anxiety pills for me. However, a TCM doctor who examined me earlier seemed rather sure it was a nerve degeneration disease. Despite the assurance from the private neurologist, I can’t help but [...]
Unwise mouthwash advertisement!

Just having dinner with my family when this TV advertisement appears again. A famous artiste was shown brushing his teeth with a certain brand of toothpaste. Then he demonstrates the interdental cleaning before finally sipping a capful of mouthwash and swishing the solution around his mouth.
The sequence ends right there and then. Is [...]
