Dance like no one's watching

There’s been a furore over China’s handling of the Olympics opening.  By now, everyone knows that a little girl lip-synched, and 28 out of 29 footprints seen on TV were digital images because the hazy skies prevented the real footprint fireworks from being captured. Beijing’s critics have jumped at these examples to criticise China.  They […]

IRAS is efficient!  I just got a call from them saying they’re looking into it.  So far, they confirmed that Comfort Taxis includes it in the receipt.  So either Premier Taxis is slow, or the cabbie is recalcitrant.  Either way, the diesel surcharge forms part of taxable income hence they’ll probe more. See!  This is […]

Sends search engines my way? Sigh.  Before I got hit by the stupid spam hijack thingy, this blog was rated pretty high on google’s search engines.  Type "uptowngal" and the first hit would be this blog.  Now… this blog has gone completely under the radar. I was told that google removed all the blogs / […]

Today is Iceman’s birthday… but the poor chap had to go to office extra early thanks to some heartless doctor who wanted a meeting at 7:30am.  Good grief.  Which normal human being turns up at office before 10am?  (Ok, I’m exaggerating here).     Anyway, Happy Birthday Sayang!! *Hugs*

Here’re some pictures took in the month of July (and the first 2 days of August)… finally got the chance to upload them.  🙂 This is apparently a Teochew dish… braised duck with kway teow soup or rice.  Side dishes complementing the dish are kiam chye (salted veg) and beancurd.  Never saw this in Singapore […]

tried the work around solution for the permalinks bug in WordPress 2.6 but that unfortunately didn’t work for me.  the solution proper requires me to delve into the codes but i’m hesitant to open the floodgates of blogging hell.  the best bet for me, perhaps, is to just wait for WP 2.6.1 to be released […]

Haven’t blogged for an entire week ‘cos I was really busy and was down with a nasty sore throat + flu last Thurs… which stretched over the weekend.  Extremely depressing.  I hate being sick over the weekend ‘cos time just flies past while you’re trying to recuperate and before you know it, the work week […]
