 Sorry Amy I know one day you’ll be saying – “Dad how could you ……?!?!?!” But also as you would say now – “Awwwwwww, sooooooo cute!!!!”  Couldn’t help myself Amy, he he, naughty Daddy.   So the last supper, we decided to go to the foodcourt on East Coast Road. This is a beaut. I know youRead More

Off we went again to see Shagie’s at Balaclava, Ion. Clearly an absolute favourite of DK’s and Claire’s – well in fact of any one that goes to see them. Previous night they had sung for DK & Claire “I just wanna marry you”. Very apt, if you have read the previous blog. This wasRead More

How cool was this.  Gordon and Thes said guys if you’re interested there is a basketball game between Philippines and Singapore at the indoor stadium, fancy coming to watch? So so glad we did. For the royal sum of 19SGD a head, we end up about 5 rows from the court itself and had just theRead More

I had a truly amazing day, celebrating alongside Charlie’s 2nd birthday, then swimming pool with Gordon/Thes/Steve and of course my Mary and the kids. Great fun. But the main reason for this blog, is that I wanted to share with you what Ollie wrote in his card for me. Dear Daddy, A Dad is aRead More

I’ll start this with the “why” again. Why every year do we go back to help the people of Cambodia?Why do we every year visit the memories of the atrocities of Cambodia in S21 and Killing Fields?”Why?”Here is one paragraph of a poem written by a local, that I think just sums it all up forRead More

Amazing – Bintan revisited, this time with Miz. What a lovely time we had, we just love this place. Miz even said best holiday she’s had, as she’s never done the Asian tropical beach type holiday. We got two sea facing rooms next door to each other – Amy with Mary and I, and OllieRead 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.
