One way to tell if a man deserves to be treated with respect and seriousness, is in his consistency. If he goes from "want to sue" to "waiting for apology" to "let's move on" within the span of "several" posts, you know you're dealing with a capricious man. Why not simply ignore such trolls...

My intention of highlighting this article is not to put the government in a bad light. Unfortunately, that's how it will be construed. Please allow me to explain. My intention is to highlight the principles that were used in entering this deal. Namely, their desire to profit yet abject failure...

饮水思源。 Our ties to Singapore can never be severed, even if all our family and friends have moved out. When we see injustice and suffering happening in our country of origin, do we not feel the pain, sadness and anger? Never let anyone dictate what you should or shouldn't do. You have every...

It is a very huge fallacy and myth that politics and economics can be separated. For they are intertwined, and a healthy political environment is equally important to a dynamic economic environment. Now that the economic seams are falling apart, we have an establishment that scrambles to patch...

There are some people, whom for reasons only known to them, have certain inadequacies. It may be physical but often psychological, due to their upbringing or experiences growing up into adulthood and through their career. Inadequacy often reveals itself in the choice of words and tone used. In...

When taken at face value as claimed, the Janus face turns to reveal a sad portrait of a bitter person whose online persona exhibits such viral obsession to win every and any argument, epitomising the exact opposites of grace and maturity.

Hospital rounds take on a new meaning now :-)

Thanks Wendy. So Sockeye > Atlantic > Pink. I will try the sockeye salmon one of these days. Charlie, do you know where to get good salmon in downtown TO or around it? I hope it's not Saint Lawrence Market even though that place is quaint and nice in its own way.

I tried a few sashimi places in GTA and had some salmon sashimi off C.Superstore (the regular entire fillet; can't recall the price) the taste and quality is markedly better than back home in SG. I appreciate this small affordable luxury here once in a while. Is there a significant difference...

Everyone is entitled to say what they want. Everyone is also entitled to their own opinion of what is said by others. It is the consequences of what is said that matters and sometimes, it is better to be the silent fool, rather than open your mouth and confirm it.

The one along Main Street south of Queen Street, a few doors away from pizza place? Yes. Ate there often. And yes, bloody authentic. The burly Canadian Cantonese guy would recognize my usual when I used to dine there. Their pho can't beat the pho near Ben Thanh Market in Thailand, but it's...
