Those who attended the latest Mycarforum hangout with Maxus got up close with the MIFA 7 Elite and experienced all that it has to offer!
MPVs are an increasingly attractive option to buyers with big families or those who want more space and comfort. Sometimes, the only way to really find out if a car is for you is to experience it yourself, which is what the lucky few who joined us on 30 April 2026 at the Maxus showroom did.
And with the MIFA 7 Elite toning down a few "bells and whistl
In the never-ending debate about whether Esports are actually 'Sports', here's proof that you can absolutely make anything competitive.
Counterstrike? DOTA? Passé. May I introduce to you: Excel Esports.
Yes, it is almost exactly as quirky and bizarre as you imagine it to be.
On one hand, maybe it shoudn't be at all surprising. I feel like the Venn diagram of people who enjoy computer games and excel at Excel (too obvious a pun to make, sorry) probably overlaps signific
Mention "nuclear disaster" to anyone below 40 years of age and most folks will say, "Fukushima". After all, the most recent nuclear power plant meltdown was 15 years ago, following the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March 2011.
However, the nuclear disaster I'm more familiar with is the one that took place 40 years ago in Ukraine. Back then, it was still part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, better known as the USSR or Soviet Union.
The Chernobyl power plant
If one were to ask me what games I play, I'd say story-driven games in genres like FPS (Halo) and RPG (Final Fantasy, Persona), though I can get into racing games and rhythm games as well. Enquire which games I spend the most time on, however, and my answer becomes "gacha games".
GACHA! GACHA! GACHA!
A humourous look into the mind of a player who's only in it for the thrill of gambling.
"Gacha" comes from "gachapon" machines, where you pay for toys in capsules. However,
Welcome back to Part Four of this series, where I'll be taking you back to Premier League goals of yesteryear that I believe deserve a lot more attention than they ever got.
From fleet-footed trickery ending in the ripple of the net, long-range rockets that zip past stunned goalkeepers, or audacious attempts that leave the crowd with agape mouths, sit back and relax as I take you on a trip down memory lane.

What is the most remote point on Earth?
Seems like a strange question to ask, but last night I was watching some stuff about AI chatbots and Israel-Palestine and feeling all sorts of existential dread. Which made me ponder: Just how far can you actually get away from everything?
Well, the question has two answers.
The actual most remote point on Earth is called Point Nemo. Situated roughyl 2,688km from the nearest piece of land, it is known as the oceanic point of inaccessibili

Alright guys (and gals), it's time to change up your wardrobe with something a little more than just a new colour tee Uniqlo's AIRism collection.
Peep this - there's a new Toyota UT Collection that just landed in Singapore. Four designs are available - featuring respectively, the Hiace van, the Land Cruiser, the Corolla, and maybe the best one of the lot, the 2000GT.
Unc has uploaded some photos for you to gawk at:

When I was learning how to ride, the biggest realisation I had about riding was that it was very much a solo pursuit. Should anything happen to me - touch wood - I can only rely on myself. I ride defensively and never assume that good Samaritans will come to my aid.
I'm not one for group rides, and the missus does not want to ride pillion. So, riding a bike is something I do alone.
But after I scrapped my first bike and bought a second one, I realised that motorcycling also turned me i
My first MCF blog post of 2026 started with me looking through what had been posted in the two months I hadn’t had time to write anything - a way to stimulate my imagination and avoid writing similar topics in a short period of time and risk monotony (aren’t I considerate of you dear readers hahahaha *pukes*). My Editorial colleagues often tell me not to worry about it since it’s not part of my KPIs, but nevertheless I feel bad about not keeping myself on track with my aim of a post a month.
With daily high temperatures in the mid-30s, it's no surprise that staying cool (and hydrated) is on everyone's minds.
But keeping the heat at bay is easier said than done.
High oil prices mean expensive utility bills, should you choose to switch on the air-con at home. One possibility is heading to a public pool (or the condo pool of a friend or relative) to soak there. However, that also results in needing to spend money on sunscreen to prevent sunburn.

I'm pretty sure most of us have eaten at Sushi Express before. While there are other more expensive and 'ATAS' sushi places out there, I find myself going back to Sushi Express every so often. Since my days in Poly, till my army days, till today, I still enjoy it a fair bit, but it was only until recently that I found out that it originated from Taiwan.
The funny thing is, there were always signs that this sushi restaurant wasn't very Japanese. In fact, unlike many other restaurants
During my holiday in Hong Kong, I dropped off a roll of film to be processed. Upon asking for the images to be printed out and mailed to Singapore, I was told that it would take up to two months, since the photos would be sent via post.
I did not look for one-hour developing services in Hong Kong. After all, this roll of Kodak Portra 400 took me at least two months to finish, so what's the hurry? Besides, between work and weekend errands, the time to shoot is limited. Hence, I decided to fi

Having been an avid watcher of the Premier League for close to 20 years now, I've seen more than my fair share of "golazos", and some just live in my mind rent-free. From Papiss Cisse's absurd "trivela-esque" volley that dumbfounded Petr Cech at Stamford Bridge to Wayne Rooney's iconic bicycle kick at Old Trafford that silenced our noisy neighbours (yes, I'm a United supporter), these are amazing goals that any average Premier League fan can recall off the top of their heads. But what about the
"There's nothing to do in Hong Kong. It's not the same as before."
"Eh, go to Shenzhen instead lah."
"You've never been to Shanghai. Why not fly there?"
These were just some of the reactions I got from friends prior to my trip to Hong Kong in February this year. I hadn't been to Hong Kong in nearly 12 years, so I had no idea what to expect. And they were making it sound like this was a mistake even before I packed my suitcase.
To be fair, my last visit to Hong Kong wasn't bad
Forget Formula 1. Forget MotoGP. WRC? Pah. The new racing series that should have its own Netflix series is... office chair racing!
Yep, Japan at it once more.
It's called the Isu1GP, which quite literally translated to Chair1GP, because of course. There's an official Japan Office Chair Racing Association (JORA), because its Japan and of course there is.
And before you think it's just some comical sham of a publicity event (well, I guess it is but no!), you should know that it'
Welp.
I never thought I would fall victim to it but there I was: Reeling at the shock of not having recognised in the moment that I had added an AI-generated song to my Spotify playlist.
It all started very innocently. As with many others lately, I have been taken in by the laidback, comforting warmth of Olivia Dean’s voice - and just her entire discography as a whole. The new house is still in quite a mess, and on one of those routine mini clean-up sessions recently, I had simply cli
I'm big into podcasts, though I won't claim to be an OG podcast consumer - podcasts began into the early 00s, but only really exploded in the mid-2010s. I suspect many people will credit Serial for being the podcast that really launched the medium into mainstream consciousness (I, too, probably really got into podcasts around that time).
Since then, podcasts as a medium has really boomed.
And I'm a big fan. In this age of 30-second video clips and short attention spans, I do apprecia
Proprietary eponyms. That's the actual term to describe words that are brand names that have actually become 'regular' names of certain products.
There are a couple of relatively well-known ones that Singaporeans use. Pampers. Tupperware. Post-it Notes. Scotch Tape. Velcro. Yes, these are all technically trademarked brand names, but most of us probably just know them as the name of the thing that we use.
Anyway I recently watched Marty Supreme, a show that's about table tennis. Or pi
The 2026 Winter Olympics just recently concluded, and to be honest I didn't pay it that much attention. Winter sports as a whole seem particularly foreign - not just simply because snow/ice is a foreign concept here in Singapore, but also because there's an inherent madness about winter sports, in my mind.
I want to take nothing away from the achievements of these athletes, but winter sports feel purposefully dangerous. Like, let's take relatively normal sports (but you know, sports aren't
When messages – both typed and voice – can be exchanged instantaneously, warmth and sincerity are at risk of disappearing. Sadly, these are the two things that make communicating with one another feel so fulfilling.
Words on a screen, especially from people you barely know, can come across as cold and impersonal. Voice messages – even from your contacts – are geared towards efficiency. Why type/tap when you can yak a phrase or two to get your point across?
Messaging is easy, but
Boil it down to the bare bones, and anybody can write. I mean, we all had to write compositions for our exams in primary and secondary school. And for those who have gone on to university, some projects require a hefty amount of writing and quoting peer reviewed sources (I still get Vietnam flashbacks when I see "et al"). But crafting a story with a proper flow is another skill altogether.
In all honesty, who wants to read a story that may be hitting all the right points yet sounds so borin
I'm someone that can never resist the urge to modify and personalise everything that I own. Car, toy cars, watches, bicycles, computers, anything that I can get my hands on, I'll want to modify and customise them.
Which brings me to the latest thing I did to my turntable. Yea, in rather recent times, I have hopped onto the whole vinyl record trend, built up a little collection, and truly enjoy listening to music in this troublesome manner ("What's wrong with Spotify?", I've often found myse
I've been watching the first few episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. There's obviously plenty to unpack about the story and the larger Game of Thrones universe, but the one thing I want to zoom in on is jousting. There's no spoilers involved here, but jousting features somewhat significantly in the first few episodes.
Obviously the show is fictional, but it draws a lot of references and inspiration from the Medieval times. And jousting was a very real sport: Yes, there's some inher
