How long have I been here? I don’t think I have ever shown this. I know I have shown beautiful sandy beaches, waves a crashing on the shore, kids playing the sand, a palm tree or two type thing but not this, I am certain. You just look up from where you are on theRead More

That time of year again, when we come to celebrate the birthday of the lovely Naoko (Nina), and then sadly the very next day we have to commiserate her passing. It’s still as tragic today as it was then. Here she is as I think we will all remember her, beautiful and smiling. This inRead More

Have to say I was a little disappointed today. Off we went to China Town to enjoy the Saturday of Chinese New Year – not a dragon, or lion dance in sight. Roads were closed due to engineering works. Half the stalls were shut. Restaurants were closed, causing those that were open to be packedRead More

Off we go again with our mates – The Blowers – for a delicious lunch and fun packed afternoon at the hawker on lagoon. Similar to last time to just some snaps of the ‘difference’. My two clearly enjoying themselves, having such fun, a day by the beach, sandcastles being built, running around in theRead More

It’s happening so fast. My baby girl is growing and growing. Look what happened yesterday. Yes, she lost her first tooth. And literally she did lose her first tooth, ha ha. So panic set in that she would not be visited by the tooth fairy as she had lost her tooth. Mary then SMS’d theRead More

[zilla_likes]

Well done Mountbatten MP, Mr Lim. We used to have a sports bar, restaurant, meeting, drinking place on our pier on the river at Tanjong Rhu. A little mecca called Cosy Bay. A great place. Closed for 5+ years now. I found out last night that there had been complaints from neighbours that they didRead More

She calls our name and we come running, We have lost the voice we listened to, And there's a stillness now the rains stopped falling, And there's a sadness like we never knew, But we still see the shining of things. We love and miss you desperately Ni.

About Brian

I have worked in Telecommunications pretty much all my life, with good fortune to have worked literally across the world with amazing colleagues and clients from Sao Paulo, to Chicago, to LA, to UK, Europe and most recently to South East Asia and Australia.

I love to cook and to write and again for many years now have been writing a food blog, constantly morphing. I have also written a cook book for charitable reasons. I now also write a column for EXMag.sg a men's magazine with a focus on food - recipes and reviews. I do this under the tag-name of Semi-Naked Chef.

I am very focused at charitable work and CSR - having visited Cambodia 6 years running now to build houses on stilts for the less fortunate people there.

I have 3 kids - 2 half-Japanese and 1 half-Filipino.
