Can you eat lunch for $1?

Just had a plateful of “spaghetti” (actually noodles with broiled chicken pieces), a can of coke and a bottle of water for lunch. Grand total of 3.70 ringgits (or $1.01 USD).

Quick Update

Well I’ve now been in Singapore for ~5 days and just realized I’ve provided no updates. So here’s a few random experiences/thoughts of my trip so far.

After landing at DFW I had about 20 minutes to catch my flight to Tokyo. Thankfully, as I exited the plane a women was waiting for me […]

Savings Ideas?

I’m trying to come up with some creative ways to save a few extra bucks during this current economic downturn. I know several people are being forced to dip into their savings, but as I am still blessed with a job (although no bonus/raises for a year), now is the time to increase my […]

Lost

Feels Like Home

There are very few things in life that make me “feel like home”. I’m not a nostalgic person in general. I haven’t been back to the house where I grew up or my alma mater in nearly 8 years. I don’t have boxes full of childhood memories stashed away in my parents’ […]

Fleet Foxes - Hmmmm….love these guys. We grabbed a seat at the back (excellent view of screens and okay view of stage), enjoyed some lunch and relaxed in the sun to a great band. If you haven’t checked them out, you should. I highly […]

Political Agenda

Many of you have heard my political stance: Apathy. My mantra: I don’t believe candidates. Pretty much ever. But the one person I’ll vote for is the one who will take his (or her) millions in campaign funding and feed the hungry. That man (or woman) I’d believe in.
