The Sundown 84km Ultra Marathon 2009 was held this year on Saturday, the 30th May at Changi Point.Exactly how long is 84km? It’s about the distance you run along the Pan-Island Expressway, Singapore’s longest road, starting from Changi Airport all the way to Tuas. And then back again.Exactly how painful is 84km? Well, I was told that out of 500 runners who registered, barely half made it through

I completed my first full marathon at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2008. I've decided to compile my runs in a seperate section. The story behind my first attempt has been chosen as a winning entry in the Adidas Run Inspirator contest. You may wish to read about it there.

To date, I have received at least 3 emails asking me to do an expanded write-up on the Malay Vampires entry that I did back in January. I didn’t know that it got so popular till I saw it being passed around on social network bulletins.Well it is the weekend and I feel like having a break from the more serious topics anyways so what the heck. Let’s meet the rest of the gang.Orang Minyak (

Great, another Pontianak photo is making its rounds over the email.Thanks for all the forwarded emails. I feel so privileged that some people think of me when they need to forward a photo of a vampire.For the record, the Pontianak in the photo looks more like a piece of stray white cloth that flew onto a pole. Well done. I believe you guys have just been forwarding photos of someone’s laundry.It

I just realised that one of my readers has left a comment in the My Minah Wife poem. The reader suspects that his or her teacher is a Minah.That's not very healthy for our education system isn't it?As much as I think its trivial, I shall alleviate your suspicions once and for all. I tell you what, apply these following 11 signs and rest well tonight.11 Signs Your Teacher's A Minah1. When you said

It's the second last weekend before the end of Ramadan.For some, this is the time to make a bee line for Geylang Serai, my neighbourhood, to savour dishes that won't usually be there except on festive months like now. Seasonal fares such as the ayam percik, (bamboo-skewered chicken in satay sauce grilled on charcoal), dendeng (sliced barbecued meat) and fried roti john cheese with mayonnaise (

Under the night sky dark and fairWe sigh beneath the brightest starThese hands will run through your silk hairAnd tell you how special you areSometimes life leaves a bitter tasteAnd cheerful skies fade fast to greyThese hands will rest upon your faceAnd gently wipe your tears awayIf icy winds find you in flightAnd the cold is too cruel to bearThese hands will warm you through the nightCome close,

Damn, I should be scanning the local news more often. Been reading too much overseas stuff. How did I miss such an important piece of headline last Saturday?Civil Service to Adjust Salaries to Retain TalentsSINGAPORE : The civil service will likely get a salary adjustment later this year, and the announcement on this is expected in April.Now this is where I get on the table and do the dance of

After the “stopitsiak” post sometime last week, several readers have emailed asking for more mat and minah terms. Seems that mat lingo is progressing on a parallel plane and it will be great if a glossary of their language can be somewhat documented.So here goes, the first Mat Dictionary. It's not a lot so should you have any more terms or suggestions, feel free to leave it in the comment link
