So as much as I love Singapore (and seriously, I do), I have never enjoyed living in any other country as much as I enjoyed living in Canada while I was on exchange. And so, to celebrate that factoid, here comes Oh Canada by Classified, peppered with awesome jokes that you’d understand if you spent [...]

This is probably rude but I can’t resist.

This is pretty much what happens when you watch half a season of Alias over two days.
On a side note (oh the pun): check out how the notes look with hats (definitely worth a click!)

Last week I got a call from a sales guy at True Fitness.
“Hello is this Daryl?”

Let me come out and say that I’m not a fan of The Fray by any means. I found How To Save A Life incessantly boring and don’t really feel they have variety to their music, ie their songs all sound the same. That said, I have been listening to You Found Me quite a [...]

Last Saturday, Reuben, Rubin and I walked from Harbourfront to the laksa steamboat place nearby. After eating we were walking back, and this is what happened when we tried to cross the road…

It’s 5:13 in the afternoon right now. I’m in the library with Tim Hortons and arguably I’m simultaneously surrounded, engulfed and swimming in an orgy of media: Music through my earphones, a textbook on mass communications, and the internet running.
My attention consistently switching between an amazing line of lyrics (”Why are there so many songs [...]
