Beauty is a Wound | Indonesian Book Review

Dec 14, 2016

Beauty is a Wound a gripping story that contains a dark-humoured critique on Indonesia's history. It's a novel about sex (only sometimes consensual) and violence (very often fatal), and all I can say is: brace yourself.

He's Just Not That Into You (Singapore Edition)

Jun 23, 2016

Why do so few local men want to date foreign girls? Is it intimidation, or is it more than that? Culture? Race? As promised in an article from long ago, I am finally elaborating upon why that local guy is probably just not that into you.

Two Nights in Bangkok

Went camping for the first time in ages! Except this time it was in Thailand, I looked super fashionable, and there was a huge camera crew getting the whole thing. Had no time to roast some s'mores but had loads of pad thai instead!

Is Singapore A Racist Country?

Apr 10, 2016

Living in Singapore has been difficult, and more so because when prejudice is not outright and overt, it is ignored and never addressed. Your feelings are invalidated by even the most well-meaning people. But I can tell you what prejudice in Singapore feels like.

Eyes To The Front - The Party You're Missing

Mar 30, 2016

Not only are you chilling in an infinity pool, on a rooftop with a great view of one of the world's most dynamic cities, but you're partying with models and stock brokers and café owners, and every second guy you meet is 'working in shipping,' whatever that means.

Singapore Cocktail Week - Challenge Accepted!

Mar 7, 2016

I was initially determined to have a cocktail from every bar on the list. Then I counted them. There are 60 bars. Trying to accomplish all of them would require a terrifying amount of day-drinking, something I'm not remotely old or bitter enough to do.

The Alibi - A Resounding 'Meh.'

Feb 29, 2016

Short of launching into a nit-picky diatribe as to why this club is not nearly as classy as it has the potential to be, I will simply say that I will probably not be returning to the Alibi very often. However, I'm sure over time it will gain a loyal patronage of people not nearly as obnoxious and sober as I was.
