When we shop for apples at the supermarket, the first thing we look out for before putting them into our shopping basket is whether or not their skins are flawless (without dents or rots), or if the apples have ripen. Beyond that, we can't really tell about the firmness of an apple (unless we poke at it) and its level of ethylene, a natural plant hormone that stimulates fruits to ripen but can

If K.D. Lang never came out of the closet, will you think that she is straight? In the first place, why are we suspecting her sexual identity? Is it because of her short hair and her manly mannerism? If so, a man who keeps long hair and behaves gently must be gay. Such stereotyping is not an absolute indication of a person's sexuality. By such a generalisation, are we sure that there is no

Email from a Stranger's MumThis afternoon, I received an email reply from Alex's mum, Kelly. Alex is the fine young man who passed away from brain tumor on May 21, 2006. I wrote to Kelly after reading Alex's journal which was written by her. In her email, she attached photos of Alex's gravesite. I was moved to tears when I saw them. The photo below was imprinted at the back of Alex's headstone.

Post-Valentine's Day ThoughtsValentine's Day was over yesterday.For the rest of the months and until Birthday or Christmas, no more flowers, no more gifts, no more romantic dinners, and the 3 letters 'I love you' are kept in a 'fixed deposit' till next Valentine's Day. Is this a post-Valentine's time-table or what? I'm not sure if you have a partner that practises such routine. It will be very

Why I changed my impression of the flamboyant city, New York?I love New York. That was then.New York sucks! That was after I visited.I could try falling in love with New York again. This is now.The grass is always greener on the other side. Nothing manifests this statement better than my visit to New York last summer. Before my trip, I have always loved New York.

I got a (RED) iPod as a gift last Christmas. It was pretty easy to get started with the iTune Jukebox, an interface that facilitates the transferring of songs from CDs to iPod. I was having a kick transferring songs after songs until the "Keith Urban - Days Go By" CD. It doesn't allow me to transfer the songs to my iPod. I knew I have picked a 'Copy-Protected' CD. It is among the copy-protected

I dedicate my blog today to friends in the United States, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Toronto and Bangkok.If I were to write down a list of my friends, it won't surprise me that they are shrinking in number. Believe it or not, all my local friends are married. We used to hang out regularly in our early twenties; now, they hang out with their wives and kids. My closest girlfriend whom used to be single

The birth of Bananation is a personal fulfillment for my passion in writing. So why not just blog like others instead of doing this crazy e-zine thing? Who's going to read my e-zine when they are plenty out there? I'm sure they write better than me? These are the few reality checks I asked myself. My conclusion: There is no logic needed for me to do this.If I sink deeper into my thought and weigh

I was lying comfortably on an Osim massage chair alike while a young shampoo girl washed and massaged my hair. I closed my eyes and relaxed as stream of warm water flowed over my head. The massaging, lathering and conditioning took about 5 minutes but I wished it was longer. A strange thought crept into my mind: what if I died on that chair? I don't know if that's possible. I checked it up on

I was spring-cleaning my room yesterday for Chinese New Year and found several things that I used to own but are nowhere on my shelf now. I am sure that I did not donate them to Salvation Army nor did I discard them last year. These are DVDs, CDs and books that I am talking about.When did you last realise that some of your stuffs are missing? Worst. You can't remember where they went to. I don't

Chaotic downpour hit Las Vegas and most parts of Asia. In Singapore, damage to the indoor stadium costs SGD888 (USD570) per square foot.What, or rather, who caused the disaster? - Jung Ji Hoon, the Korean superstar, better known as the ubiquitous 'RAIN'. SGD888 is the price paid to watch him performing live at the Singapore Indoor Staduim on 21 January 2007. It breaks the record as the highest

I am at the set of Prison Break at Joliet Prison, Chicago.The prison was built in 1858 to house criminals and POWs during the American Civil War. It was closed down in 2002.

Tonight, I feel sad again for Gene Kelly. If you have been reading my blog, you will understand my grief for his death.Everytime I watch his movies on DVD, I can't explain why would I want to learn more about him. [On the Town] is my third movie after [Singing in the Rain] and [An American in Paris]. All three are the most acclaimed performances among Gene's works. I know enough of his talents

All words to describe a compact human form begin with the letter "S" - slim, skinny, scrawny and skeletal. The body size reduces as the word gets longer. Just count. The first three are pretty alright as everyone has friends, male or female who fit into each category. But skeletal? I only deem that word suitable to describe the emaciated human beings from Third World Countries. It is, however,

If you are a bigorexic, the news reported in Merlion Times will probably make you rethink about your body now. What kind of damages had already been done "backstage" as we parade our gargantuan physique among a sea of admirers? Maybe, we will be fine. Afterall, the report is untrue and we will all live till 80 and die looking big. I said so because I wrote that report.I liken Danny's death to
