Star Wars Identities @ Art Science Museum How brilliant was this today. Again our little Red Dot shines with the ‘content’ it brings in to entertain us, despite this damned Covid. And this even was up there with the best yet. This took me back to being a kid. This took me back to beingRead More

Chinese New Year 2021 Day #3 - Punggol Waterway Park

Chinese New Year 2021 Day #3 – Punggol Waterway Park Yes, I skipped a day. I won’t bore you with that one as it wasn’t really monumental. We decided to go to the cinema to watch one of the latest kid flicks. I swear Fred Quimby will be turning in his grave over this ‘remake’Read More

Chinese New Year Day #1 2021 It’s Mid Feb 2021 and it is Chinese New Year time. 2021 is the Year of the Ox, and I think everyone on the planet, not just our Chinese mates, are all hoping this is not a repeat of 2020. It’s a half-day today on Thursday and then weRead More

Christmas Day 2020 Kennett Staycation ‘Home Not-Alone’ This was a new Christmas experience for us. Off to a staycation in Singapore Hotel-land.

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.
