To-do in Redang

Posted by: Squareface In: Cameras. Pictures.| Travelogue

What to do in an island like Redang is stating the too-obvious — simply lay back and soak up the sun! The following are recommended, but not necessary to participate in order to enjoy your island stay just as well (random numbering):
1. Relish the white sands and blue waters

2. Unwind after activities in a [...]

BP’s Whiting Refinery

Posted by: Squareface In: Sponsored Posts

Some environmentalists are unhappy with the allowance of BP to release “significantly more” ammonia and sludge into Lake Michigan from its refinery in Whiting.
I suppose a modern industrial society has to make certain sacrifices and something’s gotta give.
However, BP has provided a fact sheet to declare that what they’re doing is perfectly within legal limits. [...]

Just an update

I want to upload the pictures of my [...]

I got myself a German engineered Vaude Tour 40 backpack for $125 at the Army market, on the last level of Golden Mile Cooked Food Centre.

The Anything or Whatever drink

Posted by: Squareface In: Food| Singapore

Okay, I’m outdated as usual. There’s an Anything drink, and there’s the Whatever drink.
Gosh, you can’t even decide what you want to drink?!
Is there a restaurant/cafe that carries those names too? Since the standard Singaporean answer to “where/what do you want to eat?” is “anything”. “Up to you” should also be considered being on a [...]

I thank my friends for accompanying me to walk up and down Funan Mall, and [...]

Human Tetris

Posted by: Squareface In: Ramblings

The Japanese really know how to have fun, and are really creative. Watch how they play human tetris!

This is how my 2 years’ worth of barang barang looks like, packed.
Every year for the past 2 years, I have had to pack up all my belongings and move them out of where I reside. Last year, I moved from the Foreign Students’ Dormitory to my present One-Bedroom Apartment a.k.a. Bachelorette Pad. Now, I’m [...]

If you had to decide between receiving free classes and accommodation for 2 years, and a chance to further broaden your horizons in Canada for one semester, which will you choose?
I’m crossing my fingers that I won’t even have to choose. I really hope the teachers, and the scholarship committee will let me have my [...]
