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 hand 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 mysel

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'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
Blame it on puberty, hormones and growing pains, but as a teenager, I had a negative mindset. I had no concept of being realistic either.
With a steady diet of grunge music, the cloud of teenage angst that enveloped me made it easy to fall into the negativity trap. It didn’t help that I was failing math half the time in secondary school. Physics and chemistry were a downer as well. Passing was only possible with the help of plenty of tuition.
Meanwhile, I also had to deal with the usua
I'm not quite sure how it happened, but the malevolent spirit that is the Youtube algorithm has somehow deemed it fit to feed me Bee Rescue content. Yes, I'm equally as confused as you are.
Firstly, this video has 4.1 MILLION views, so clearly I'm not the only one the strange Youtube gods have determined to need to see 100,000 bees being rescued.
Secondly, I have found watching these videos oddly satisfying.
Maybe it's the inherent cognitive contradiction of it. Bees
I was recently in Taiwan for a short getaway, and amidst the hiking, shopping and gastronomical indulging, naturally couldn’t pull my eyes away from the cars.
One of the more interesting phenomena I noted on my first day already was just how dominant the Toyota Corolla Cross is. A quick search revealed that the car has been the island’s bestselling model for five years running – and is still going strong, with its numbers in 2025 representing a 32.6% jump year-on-year increase.
But eve
As an automobile journalist and a keen collector of Pokemon cards, I’ve been to my fair share of Car Expos and Motor Shows, and the one thing I’ve noticed is that deep down, they’re pretty similar to the Singapore Card Show, or the various weekly/monthly trade shows that happen.
I’d liken the Motor Show to the Card Show, since both only come about once or twice a year, both are ticketed events, and both are more likely to find better deals and way more options. I’ve been to both major card
Take nothing away from United's well-deserved derby win over City, they absolutely deserved it. Despite the blue half of Manchester having the lion's share of possession, United absolutely tore them apart on the break with slick passing combinations and electric counterattacks. City barely had a sniff at goal, with Lammens largely untroubled.
But is this another false dawn for Manchester United, or a sign of better things to come?
To give you an idea of just how one-sided this de
A couple of weeks ago, I was puzzled when a colleague belatedly uploaded stories on his IG from a trip that happened weeks ago. Social media does that to us. When we take photos and videos to chronicle our experiences, there's a pressing need to post them right away, so that our friends know what we're up to.
Many of my friends will only delay posting by a few days, not a few weeks. It was funny because while this colleague of mine was telling me about his trip in person, he was still overs
I've always been drawn to the wilderness. It's perhaps a sense of adventure, but perhaps also an understandable response to growing up in our painstakingly curated and unyieldingly artificed Singapore. The wilderness represents an otherness, a mystery, a case of what-could-be. I've also been fortunate enough to have had opportunities to spend time in various remote landscapes, far away from the vicious machine of modern civilization. It's never truly wild, but it's a stark contrast to the glass-
My colleague's recent post about laundromats got me thinking: What is it about doing laundry that I like so much?
Yes, I'm sure there are many out there who find laundry a chore, especially when it comes to folding, ironing, and putting everything away.
But to me, laundry is one of those 'mindless' activities that can help you de-stress. It's something you don't have to think too deeply about - you sort the clothes into lights and colours (I don't bother making a separate load for red
When it pours, most people brace themselves for longer commutes. Traffic slows to a crawl and people walk slower to avoid slipping and falling. The cool weather brings respite to the uncomfortable heat, but to many, it's also an inconvenience.
I, on the other hand, find rain romantic. And not just any rain, but the type that falls steadily for hours on end.
It can't be too heavy, because thunderstorms can seem violent. It can't be too light either, because that's annoying. How many tim
Unlike some of the other members of the editorial team, I absolutely love Christmas. I say this with eyes wide open I hope – acknowledging full well that its ties to religion are tenuous, and that the season is now highly capitalistic by design.
Still, it’s hard not to be enchanted by the spirit of festivity, the caroling and the jingles, and the twinkling, Christmas lights. (If you’re lucky enough to own car in Singapore, ambling slowly down a jammed-up Orchard Road on Christmas Day itself
For whatever reason, I was never much of a manga reader. While I’d been quite an avid reader of the now-defunct Co-Co! magazines and owned a few copies of Naruto (though not consecutive volumes), the medium never quite captivated me even as I grew up reading Marvel and DC comics, and eventually light novels.
Of the countless, celebrated mangaka (manga artists), be they pioneers like Osamu Tezuka and Go Nagai, shonen legends like Akira Toriyama and Eiichiro Oda, and female mangaka like Naoko
I've recently been rather into woodturning videos on Youtube.
Yes, there is my already-present fascination with woodworking. And also yes, there is certainly the ASMR aspect of it.
But something about woodturning seems especially incredible to me from a crafting perspective, because it appears to require such a clarity of creative vision and process. Unlike putting different pieces of wood - or other materials - together (admittedly also a craft in itself), there's seemingly no real
For all the intricacies of today's footballing landscape, with managers employing unusual tactics - think Pep Guardiola fielding four centre backs - and a greater emphasis on playing it out from the back, the greatest joy a game can give its viewers is still a goalfest, where chaos reigns supreme and the net never seems to stop bulging.
And Manchester United's recent 4-4 draw with Bournemouth at Old Trafford has reignited that spark. Indeed, this scoreline is by far the most common in terms
As the saying goes: You never forget your first. No, I'm not referring to George Washington's autobiography. I'm referring to our first experiences, be it love, job, car, or house, to name a few. And for me, Leaf Green was my first foray into the gaming world of Pokemon (as I've previously mentioned here).
Don’t worry, this is more reminiscing and somewhat of a review - of which I feel I am entitled to, having registered over 500 hours of gameplay – and not a life lesson involving hatchets,
It's December, which means that the most dastardly time of the year has arrived. Yup, it's Christmas time once more (my feelings about Christmas have been made clear).
The endlessly replaying Christmas music most encapsulates what I find most grating about this 'festive season' - everything about it feels artificially, and inauthentically joyous.
If we drill a little bit deeper into the music theory side of things, there's also a same-ness to 'Christmas music' (built around the iv6 c
Doing your laundry isn’t a sexy activity (hmmm...), but there’s something about laundromats that feels inexplicably captivating.
A shift in general living circumstances, coupled with incessant wet weather, has gotten them and I reacquainted over the last couple of months. The last I had really frequented them was during my uni years. But even my memory of those times spent tapping my Barclays/N26 debit cards to activate the washing and drying cycles is quite different: Just taking a short s
Two months ago, I listed 10 songs that had no business being played at a wedding. Many were about the inability to move on after a breakup or worse: Songs sung from the perspective of a third party!
So, this time around, it's time to highlight 10 songs that can be played on the first day of a couple's married life.
10) All Of You - Julio Iglesias & Diana Ross
This song is clearly about someone who wants everything that the love of their life has to offer. It is well
I recently went on a media trip with XPENG, a brand that makes some pretty nice EVs, but they were also put in the spotlight recently when the video of their robot, IRON, went viral.
The humanoid robot walked on stage in such a convincing manner that prompted everyone to wonder if it was actually a human in a suit.
Now, I managed to get a closer look at the robot, and although it was a static display, it looked intricate and pretty interesting. We then attended a workshop where t
Monkeys. Getting tempted by bananas. But not giving into the temptation of bananas.
That could effectively summarise the content posted by my favourite YouTube channel currently. Dubbed ‘Monkey Mind 101’, the general premise here is not too dissimilar to what you get on many channels promoting mindful living.
Topics include the likes of cultivating good sleeping routines, understanding that procrastination doesn’t really stem from laziness, and also how the overstimulation th
I really, really do not enjoy flying. As someone who has to get onto an airplane on a semi-regular basis, I really do not enjoy it (a feeling that has only grown over time).
Honestly, there's nothing about the experience that I enjoy. From having to take out your laptop and liquids at security (regulations vary from airport to airport), standing in line at immigration, mishandled/lost baggage, flight delays and cancellations, there's a lot that makes the experience much less seamless than
Have you ever heard friends or colleagues mention that they get tired more easily the older they get?
I've heard this from friends who are older and surprisingly, younger. But why is it easier to believe that the older someone is, the less energy they have? And conversely, the younger the person, the more active they are?
But I don't think that we become less energetic as we age. I've met folks who are stronger, fitter and more active, despite being 20 years older than me.
Do they
