Tekka Market

Ms. Tsiken — Sun, 23 May 2010 03:40:00 +0000

I’ve known about Tekka Market for some years now but I’ve only come to check it out recently. Now, I ask myself why I haven’t done so sooner. I’ve found a lot of stuff I’ve been looking for at Tekka – like fresh beef! Prior to Tekka market, I bought frozen beef at either Cold [...]

Xinmsn

Ms. Tsiken — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 07:13:23 +0000

I’m so used to checking what’s new on the US MSN website that I am just so frustrated with this local Singapore MSN website called XinMsn I’m close to pulling my hair out. It all started with the localized Singapore MSN website. It looked like the US MSN site except the news is more [...]

Our new HD player

Ms. Tsiken — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 02:21:00 +0000

Hubby has been itching to buy either a PS3 or an HD player and I’ve been trying to delay him for some time now. But last week at the IT show, I finally relented when we saw a promising looking HD Player selling for just S$129.00 What I liked most about it is its [...]

Philippines has the Dutch Disease

Ms. Tsiken — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:01:20 +0000

It seems I was on to something when I blogged about my problem with the strengthening peso last month. According to this article in the Inquirer: The Philippines may now be afflicted with the Dutch Disease. What is the Dutch disease, you ask? Here’s a definition from www.investopedia.com: An economic condition that, in its broadest [...]

Manny Pacquiao wins over Joshua Clottey

Ms. Tsiken — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 05:43:04 +0000

In probably one of the least exciting fights by Manny Pacquiao, Pacquiao won by unanimous decision with a scores of: 120-108, 119-109, 119-109. It turns out Manny was better off practicing his song number for his after fight party during his final workout. Clottey was fighting not to be knocked out instead of fighting to win.

Singapore ranks second as the best place to raise expat kids

Ms. Tsiken — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 03:21:10 +0000

On a survey done by an HSBC bank, Singapore came second to Australia on a survey of the best places to raise expat kids. What immediately comes to my mind is what is their definition of expat? If you look it up at www.businessdictionary.com, expat is defined as: A person who has citizenship in at least one country, [...]

The Biggest Little Man in the World

Ms. Tsiken — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 14:51:01 +0000

Here’s a must-read well written profile about Manny Pacquiao by Andrew Corsello for GQ Magazine. It’s so interesting that I got through all 7 pages without getting one bit bored. This piece to me is like watching an Al Pacino / Robert de Niro fictional movie directed by Guy Ritchie. Strange, ruthless, ironic [...]

Review of the MH-C9000 WizardOne Charger-Analyzer for 4 AA / AAA

Ms. Tsiken — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 06:54:12 +0000

Here’s a recent purchase I got online. We use a lot of batteries at home for our gadgets and my baby’s toys. The baby’s toys alone consume a lot of batteries and it tugs on my green conscience every time we have to replace and throw away batteries and that’s quite often since we [...]
