Even the most exciting journey can be boosted by BMW's tech. And we're not just talking about that engaging drive!
Singapore is a lovely city to drive in: The views are great, and the road network is a product of careful and extensive planning. But what if you're still looking to give those weekend drives a little extra boost?
That's exactly what BMW is now offering its drivers with its Connected Package Professional Packages. Join us in this second of a series of three articles as we
Join us and BMW in this short series that explores just how connected technology can make your journeys easier than ever.
Internet of things? Ambient Intelligence? Fourth Industrial Revolution? From smartphones to home appliances, the devices that we use are becoming smarter and more connected by the day, and our cars are no different.
Thankfully, there's no need to develop a deep understanding of these information technology concepts to benefit from the added convenience that BMW is b
Celebrate Borneo Motors’ 100 years with complimentary servicing for pre-owned Toyota & Lexus bought from Sgcarmart. Enjoy authorised distributor care.
If you think Singapore has been around longer than Borneo Motors, you might be surprised to learn it's actually the other way around. While Singapore gained independence in 1965, Borneo Motors opened its first showroom in Singapore back in 1925, located along Orchard Road.
Having been in Singapore for a century, Borneo Motors - which
Over the weekend I fell into a bit of a science-fiction/science rabbithole. You know, one of those when you click on ONE Youtube video and suddenly the whole Sunday afternoon is gone and your algorithm is all messed up.
Anyway, obviously there's tons of fascinating stuff about space and science and all that. Too much, really.
But one fun fact has stuck in my brain: All the other planets in the Solar System could fit between Earth and our Moon.
It seems crazy to think, consideri

Day 11: We had an early start as we had to fly to our first location in Yunnan province, Lijiang. It was a short two-hour flight, but my parents had chosen to fly business class (just five rows ahead from where my brother and I were) for the extra baggage allowance, which turned out to be a wise choice given my unexpected purchases in Chengdu.

A song can have a catchy title and/or chorus, but its true meaning is only found within its lyrics. If you're planning your wedding, any song about breakups, cheating/infidelity, and being the other woman has no business being part of the reception playlist.
Most people, however, take the song title to be its meaning and don't consider its actual content. Here are 10 songs that sound romantic but should be avoided.

Although it appeared to be selling out fast back when my friend shared the link to the Monster Jam Singapore event some months ago, I could never expect just how popular the event turned out to be until the day itself.
You see, originating in the USA, Monster Trucks aren't really an international phenomenon, unlike F1 or other forms of motorsports. Even someone like me, who's very interested in cars, doesn't really know much about these massive machines.
And yet, on the day of the even
It’s likely a common sight in every office you set foot in: Workers with their heads buried in their desktops/laptops, earbuds dutifully plugged in (or headphones chucked on). Having a tune to go into battle alongside you against anything that happens at work seems to be as essential as having a caffeinated drink perched on the table, it seems.
Thus also arises the question, however: Does a symphony of melodies really serve as the secret ingredient to unlocking peak productivity? The debate
On a recent team outing to the recently reopened Oceanarium, besides looking at a bunch of colourful sea creatures, I also found myself quite intrigued by the first exhibition, which charts the cellular evolution of life from single-celled organisms all the way to tetrapods and beyond.
And it reminded me of this meme/fact that recently once more appeared on a social media feed: The T-Rex was closer to the invention of the iPhone than it was to the Stegosaurus.
These are perhaps the t

Welcome to Part Two of this ongoing series of every Far Cry main game in chronological order. As previously mentioned, having dedicated 21 years and thousands upon thousands of hours to this series, I have decided to write a review of my experience with each game. Bear in mind this is coming from a PC gamer.
This post will focus on the second game in the series without revealing too much spoilers.
Far Cry 2 continues to stand the
I first came across the first-ever Far Cry game in the now-popular series back in 2004, the year of its launch. I was eight and wandering around the “Toys & Games” section in a department store (I believe it was Takashimaya) and the cover caught my eye. I’ve always been drawn towards First-person Shooter (FPS) games, and I thought I’d give it a try. Thus, I got my parents to buy it for me, and the second we got home, I loaded it up.
Back in the day, CDs were still very much the norm, an
When Pong was introduced in 1972, one wonders if anyone ever envisioned video games as more than just a source of entertainment.
Today, the industry it is credited with establishing is worth USD$184.3bn as of 2024, and while Pong has been immortalised in museums, will we be able to say the same of modern games?
Do video games even count as art worthy of sitting alongside relics and paintings?
WHAT CRITICS SAY
In 2005, film critic Roger Ebert gave the opinion that video
Earlier today, it rained so heavily that when looking out the pantry windows at lunch, it almost felt as if I was witnessing snow falling.
It’s both an intriguing yet also slightly scary thought – the fantasy of snowflakes descending upon Singapore. Just imagine the Singapore River frozen over, with the foreground of MBS covered over with a blanket of snow.
While the image of our tropical city-state cloaked in a delicate layer of white first evoked images of enchantment, it immediately
We've all been affected by rising, consistently high temperatures in Singapore. Unless you live in an air-conditioned bubble that you never leave, the torrid heat is inescapable. It – along with the humidity – envelops you and refuses to let go.
Thus, the pertinent question: How much water do we need to drink daily?
According to Health Hub, we should consume two litres of water a day. However, in my experience, this is only the minimum amount. Water loss occurs even if you're indoors,
What is it about pandas that makes them so endearing to us? Is it their distinctive black-and-white markings? Is it how they're so clumsy that you could accuse them of being drunk? Could it be because both adults and cubs look so cuddly?
Whatever the reasons, pandas are popular. So popular than when countries accept pandas on loan from China that this is referred to as 'panda diplomacy'.
But we all know that pandas are also endangered and need our help to propagate themselves. Apart fr
By all accounts, restaurants are a high-stress environment built around accuracy and precision. This impression is formed through a combination of stories from chef friends, watching too much restauranteur/food content on youtube, and The Bear.
So of course, trust Japan to be like, yeah screw that. Introducing: The Restaurant of Mistaken Orders.
The concept is centred around a pop-up restaurant where all the wait staff are people living with dementia. Basically, there's a g
High-tech and stylish electric vehicles doesn’t have to be expensive and inaccessible - the JMEV ELIGHT, which offers all you want in an affordable package, is now available in Singapore.
Singapore’s car industry has never seen so many new brands within a given time span since forever - I can easily count more than 10 EV brands that has entered the market within the last couple of years.
And it is a great phenomenon for car buyers - whether you are someone that’s intending to buy your

Trust Hong Seh to revolutionise your business with cost-saving and sustainable fully electric commercial vehicles and you'll never look back.
You don’t need me to tell you this: The time is now. Yes, I’m talking about switching to an Electric Vehicle. EVs have been making up a huge part of new car sales in recent times with - over 40% in Q1 this year.
Technology has improved, making EVs more efficient and accessible. Chargers are also easy to find with tens of thousands of EV charging
The BYD SEALION 6 is the carmaker's spanking new SUV. Here's what you need to know about it.
Following the increasing popular BYD SEALION 7 that was launched at the Singapore Motor Show early this year, the leading carmaker in Singapore just pulled the covers off yet another new five-seater SUV. Dubbed the BYD SEALION 6, the SUV goes up against the likes of the Jaecoo J7 as well as the Toyota Harrier. Here are six things you should know about the SEALION 6.

I don't know if its the visual comedy of it, but there's something quite fascinating to me about pocketbikes - basically, full size humans race on pocket size motorbikes. It looks absurd and hilarious, and I desperately want to try one.
And we've all probably grown up playing a mini version of some sport or another. Remember those plastic bowling pins or little football goals you could buy at a mamak shop?
Well, recently I have been made aware of another mini creation - tiny tennis:
When you hear the words 'toxic person', what images come to mind?
Most of us imagine the stereotypical toxic person: He or she gets on everyone's nerves with their negativity, short temper and biting comments. This person micromanages subordinates, interferes with other projects, endlessly toots their own horn, and gaslights others.
However, there is another form of toxicity that is infinitely more harmful.
Covert ops
If you haven't guessed it, the worst toxicity is the insid
First things first, lets talk about a film that merges pulsating action with a touch of science fiction: War of the Worlds (2005). Starring Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning, this Steven Spielberg-directed spectacle (adapted from H. G. Wells’ classic novel) sees aliens returning to Earth and rising out of the ground in machines buried thousands of years ago.
One thing to note is that the realism of the alien machines and their menacing presence set the tone for an intense cinematic journey. Des
Having followed this club for more than 20 years, I'm well aware that a promising transfer window does not directly equate to an improved season. Forwards Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, as well as Diego Leon, the young Paraguayan wing-back, have been Manchester United's signings for the 2025 summer transfer window so far. On paper, this team should have no problem challenging for silverware. On the pitch, the current crop of players finished 15th last season.
While both Cunha and Mbeumo ha
