I was craving for salad for lunch, and was supposed to head for Pepper Lunch and have a shake-shake salad but got waylaid because I needed to get something from Guardian. KFC was nearby, and that’s where I got a salad instead – their oriental chicken salad. I ordered it ala carte because I already […]

In our office we use the MindAlign application for internal chat. One of its main differences from Sametime and Microsoft Communicator is that it has channels that one can join in, much like the MIRC of olden days.

But there was no occasion, this was just something that Singaporeans like to do, that is, rent a chalet on a week night, throw some stuff […]
