Because you have a radar in your head?

I'd pay to see a smartphone-video-watcher who walks expecting others to avoid him/her, walk into another smartphone-video-watcher.

The irony that I am typing this on my iPhone and not looking at where I am going is not lost to me.

I am told this happens at Bishan MRT station a lot.

Silence is golden

Had my earphones on and was wondering why my music suddenly stopped for so long. Checked and realized it was playing John Cage's 4'33".

Doh.

10 thoughts about Iron Man 3

These were some of the thoughts that went through my head as I watched Iron Man 3 (Warning: may contain spoilers):

1. How come Tony Stark, whose company builds weapons (or used to) does not have a house with anti-missile defence or radar to detect helicopters coming?

2. The Mandarin became evil after he failed Mother Tongue, or as we used to call it, Chinese as a Second Language.

3. The Mandarin used to be known as The Hokkien, but the Singapore gahmen said they would ban his tv broadcasts so he changed it.

4. If Singapore had a War Machine suit, it would have been named Iron Hub.

5.Gwyneth Paltrow has some really scarily solid abs.

6. Khaw Boon Wan would have told Tony Stark it costs only $8 with Medisave to fix his shrapnel problem.

7. When is a problem big enough to call the Avengers for backup?

8. So many Iron Man figures to buy…

9. Pepper shouldn't bother decorating the Malibu home. It gets trashed every movie.

10. If Tony Stark had to depend on our 3G to pull the Mk 42 suit to him, it would never arrive.

Italy 2013: Campione d'Italia, Lugano and Turin

One of the nice things about self-drive trips is the sheer random possibilities. Ryan and I were still deciding on our last night in Milan, where we should go next. As he poured over Google maps on his iPad, he exclaimed, "Hey, there is a little Italy inside Switzerland!"

I looked at where he pointed and it was a place called Campione d'Italia. Turns out that Campione d'Italia is a small Italian municipality under the Province of Como in the Lombardy region, within the Swiss canton of Ticino. By some twist of historical fate, Campione d'Italia chose to remain a part of Italy and the residents are Italian citizens even though it is separated from the rest of Italy by Lake Lugano and the mountains.

We thought Lake Lugano may not be a bad place to visit, so we drove our Hertz rental car towards the Swiss border, to Campione d'Italia to have a look-see. It is indeed a beautiful place but it looks like the main economic centre of the town is the casino.

Our drive across the Swiss border was fairly painless but it did cost €35 because you have to pay for a Swiss toll fee. We got a little taken by surprise by this fee and at first we were thinking, "Wah, Switzerland so expensive ah? Even their toll is €35 for one time ah?"

Then we found out that it is valid for a whole year. You stick the expensive sticker on your windscreen and it lets you drive around Switzerland's tolled highways for "free" after that. ORRRRRRH.

Switzerland IS expensive though. Our next stop after Campione d'Italia was Lugano (see the lovely flowers in the photo below). The city is by the lake by the same name and it is really pretty, except things there are twice the price of things in Italy. And you pay in Swiss francs (it's about 120 Francs to 100 Euros).

We cycled through the park by the lake and around the town area and really enjoyed it but we still had other places to go. So we loaded our bicycles into the spacious back of our Hertz car and drove towards Turin (or Torino, as the Italians call it).

We decided to spend the night at Turin. It is the home of the Torino and Juventus football clubs and it is a city rich with history and culture. The baroque, neo-classical, and Art Nouveau architecture here is awesome, and when you cycle through its generous city squares, you feel like you are riding through another time period.

We also visited the stadium where Torino was to face off with Juventus in a match, thinking we would be able to buy tickets on the spot. You watch Italian Serie A matches on tv and the stadiums are usually not full, so we thought it would be fine. We kind of picked a wrong time to go because the whole city of Turin seemed to be there for the match. I guess we should have known it would happen because a match like this means all the supporters of both Turin-based football clubs would show up to watch the match. All we could do was hear the cheers and atmosphere from outside the stadium as we walked back to our car, stepping on broken beer bottles and past large groups of riot police out in force.

Ah well.

Italy 2013: Riding around Milan

I think this is going to one of those trips where the driving is epic. Our next stop is Milan, city of fashion and finance. Turns out that Milan is more bicycle friendly than Rome, and we were inspired by the number of riders there. Also the drivers seemed more civilized.

They have a bicycle sharing scheme here, like Paris, but since we had our own wheels, we didn't need to use it. If you ever come to Milan, you should certainly grab a bicycle and ride.

We rode all around town, and of course, went to see Duomo, the largest cathedral I have seen so far. The square is filled with tourists and touts (this time Africans selling pieces of colored string and pigeon food).

Nearby, is a place Singaporeans are familiar with, Giant Shopping Centre. Except this one is way fancier than anything we have. The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is the oldest mall in Milan. It looked like a nice place to sit and sip coffee and people watch too, but we didn't want to sell a kidney to buy a cappuccino there.

Cycling around Milan, we stumbled across some pretty nice stops, like canals and parks.

Of course, you cannot visit Milan without visiting the San Siro Stadium, if you are a football fan. Especially if you are a fan of AC Milan or Inter Milan. We made our pilgrimage there by bike too.

Our final stop for the day was Parco Sempione ("Simplon Park") a large city park that was established in 1888. It is huge, lovely to chill at, and has a castle next to it. We spent a quiet time watching some blokes play football on the grass and wished we had brought some wine on our bikes too. Next time, we might pack a nice Chardonnay, maybe.

Italy 2013: on the road to Milan

I always enjoy road trips. Sure, it takes more time than hopping on a plane between cities, but I love the journey itself. We left Rome for Milan and hit the Autostrada, racking up €38 in tolls and €70 in diesel costs, but our five hour drive was very satisfying.

People are always in such a hurry when they are on vacation. I find the long drives therapeutic. There is time to think, time to talk, time to listen to music or podcasts you enjoy, and time to just look out the window and see the countryside.

And we stop when we feel like stopping. Go when we feel like it. In fact, the truth is, we don't know where we are going next. We didn't plan very much before we embarked on this cycling/driving road trip. It's really a daily discussion as to which city we want to visit next. This is our Nissan EV200 Hertz rental. It is pretty big and can seat up to seven but it swallows our two unfolded folding bicycles AND our luggage. It isn't very sexy but it's pretty awesome in the functionality department.

By the way, I have concluded that Milan drivers are way more civilized than Rome drivers. It's like San Francisco vs New York. Perhaps it is true what they say about the northerners being more conservative than the uninhibited carefree southerners. Nevertheless, I feel safer here in my car and on my bicycle.

Italy 2013: More of Rome

Ryan and I are preparing to leave Rome for Milan in our Hertz rental car (it is a massive Nissan EV200 van). We also added the Glass and Tires coverage (we like to insure ourselves to the max), the NeverLost GPS (it is a new TomTom model and a road trip lifesaver) and a Hertz Mobile Wifi package. Yes, we have a unlimited 3G 21.6Mbps daily with a Huawei 3G wifi router that can be shared with more than one device. It saved us the trouble of getting prepaid simcards for both our phones and we now have internet in the vehicle and everywhere else.

In fact, I am typing and uploading this on the highway now. Don't worry, Ryan is driving, not me.

But before leaving for Milan, I thought I'd share some more thoughts and photos on Rome.

After a day of riding around Rome, I have come to develop a strong sense of survival. The drivers mostly treat traffic lights and traffic rules like opinions and the pedestrians are the same.

You know why no one walks and uses smartphones on the streets of Rome? They have all been run over by Roman cars and scooters already. As a friend said, there are only two kinds of pedestrians in Rome: the Quick and the Dead.

The driving here is best described in Hokkien terms as Boh Hew and Gar Gar Lai.

We prepared our Moulton and Bike Friday bicycles in the room and rode out in the slight drizzle. No one seemed to be affected by the rain, gamely queuing to get into attractions like Vatican City.

From what I can surmise, Rome's economy is driven mainly by Bangladeshis selling souvenirs and ponchos/umbrellas when it rains. The hardworking fellows were everywhere, peddling their wares to all and sundry. One fellow I saw offered to shield an irate elderly gentleman with his huge umbrella while trying to persuade him to buy one of his fine mini-umbrellas.

People here smoke a lot. Shopkeepers smoke, young people smoke, and even the cops nonchalantly light up on duty.

Still, despite the smoking and the chaos, it is a beautiful city full of old buildings and history, and streets made of cobblestones that can throw you and your bicycle into the air if you are not careful.

We spent quite a bit of time walking too, to soak in the sights, the sounds and sometimes, the smells. We decided to try the subway here, to get to the Colosseum. You pay a flat rate of €1,50 for a ticket to take the subway in one direction for up to 100 minutes. The turnstiles don't take the ticket back when you exit so I am not sure how this is enforced. Maybe there are random inspections.

You can also pay €6 for an all-day subway pass.

This is the obligatory photo of the Colosseum, or Colosseo, as the Italians call it. Carved on some of the walls nearby, I saw a few maps that showed the extent of the Roman Empire. The Romans certainly owned quite a bit of Europe back in the day.

The neighboring area around the Colosseo is quite pleasant to walk around. We walked into a coffee place and when the barista asked if we were taking away or having here, and we said, having here (it was raining outside).

We should have suspected something when the waiter offered us the cafe wifi password without us asking. "The service very good hor?" we told each other.

Then our coffees came. "The caffè latte very nice to drink hor?" we said, impressed by the taste and the service.

Our lattes cost us €18 total. That's almost S$30. Ouch.

I will leave you with something I read in a travel forum as I was searching for hotels to book:

HEAVEN is:
Where the mechanics are German
the policemen are English
the cooks are French
the lovers are Italian
and everything is run by the Swiss.

HELL is:
Where the mechanics are French
the policemen are German
the cooks are English
the lovers are Swiss
and everything is run by the Italians.

"Papa," said Joy, my youngest one night, "Carry your granddaughter."

"What?"

"My doll," my seven-year-old said, putting the diaper-wearing baby doll wrapped in a small towel in my arms.

"I have a granddaughter? Who is the mother?" I asked, almost afraid of the answer.

"Me lah!" she said, laughing.

"Then who is the father?" I know I am setting myself up… (cont'd)

The wife and I are in Bali as I write this, taking a little break from work. We do this once a year on average, without the kids. While we still take the kids to short holidays during their school holidays, we make the time to be with each other as husband and wife too.

The wife has learned to let go of her children. She used to angst over our kid-less trips, and miss the kids a lot. But now, she is much better at enjoying herself without feeling guilty. And the kids have also learned to be totally cool without their parents for a few days, enjoying the company of our capable helper and my mom. Even their uncles, my brothers, chip in to take my kids out for a movie or a trip to the Science Centre, in our absence. (cont'd)

When I was a child, we couldn't afford many toys. My mother told me to suck it up and play with whatever toys she could get me from her friends. Not only did we have hand-me-down clothes, we also had hand-me-down toys.

We didn't really mind, my two younger brothers and I. But we did sometimes wish we could have a Six Million Dollar Man action figure with Bionic Eye and Working Bionic Grip (or even his balding boss, Oscar Goldman) or a few more Star Wars figures (I had about five). (cont'd)

Go MBS to Pangjio

When I read about the club/lounge for the rich, at Marina Bay Sands, called Pangaea, I keep seeing Pangseh and Pangsai.

"Eh Lim ah! Tonight want to go Marina Bay Sands the Pangsai Club or not?"

"Mai lah! Last time you Pangseh Club me!"

Poor folk like me go Pangaea will probably Pengsan at the prices. Maybe I can sneak in and use their toilets to Pangjio.

Core Singaporean is simi?

What is this means: Core Singaporean?

You are either Singaporean or you're not. Where got Core or not Core one? You are made from the rocks here in Singapore meh?

Ron Tan suggested:

Married Singaporean without kids = Duo Core.
Married with 2 kids = Core 2 Duo.
Married with 4 kids = Quad Core.

Or maybe it is Singaporeans who have awesome abs.

Or maybe it is Singaporeans whose lives are Kang Core and Core Lian.

Screen time

I have Twitter open on my iPhone and Facebook open on my iPad. I may be too connected to the Internet.

And to underscore this fact further, I just tried to copy the tweet above from my iPhone and paste it on Facebook… in my iPad.

I probably need to cut down on the number of devices I use at the same time.

#SGBudgetSavers

[Image from Yahoo]

And so the Budget 2013 report is out. The one bright spot in Budget 2013 — Finance Minister Tharman.

Let me sum it up for you.

Tharman: "Budget 2013 aims to create a better Singapore with quality growth & an inclusive society."

All we heard: "Cannot buy car liao!!!"

I want to begin by thanking car owners for contributing to our multi-billion-dollar surplus. Your gahmen thanks you by asking you to pay even more now.

All this prompted me to think of what we can do to stretch our dollar. Hence #SGBudgetSavers:

1. @mrbrown: I use the other end of a cotton bud after my wife used one end for makeup.

2. @mrbrown: I added a Turbo sticker to my mother's car to make it look like new. (Each "Turbo" sticker adds one horsepower.)

3. @mrbrown: I ordered Ice Kosong at the kopitiam and brought my own ice. Side note: Today I found out Ice Kosong is called Hang Cheng Pai (行情坏) at the kopitiam. How apt!

11. @kinwah56: I use the water from washing my hair with shampoo to wash my body to save on body foam. (Then after that, use to water plants. -mb)

‏12. @madame_siti: Must learn how to use public toilet before heading home, so that we save water by not flushing at home.

13. @fuuko4869: The awkward moment when you actually do all the money-saving habits that @mrbrown jokes about #SGBudget ._.

14. @mrbrown: I couldn't get Jay Chou concert tickets so I mumbled his songs to myself.

15. @dinnie: I'm going to use hot milk from the company's cappuccino machine for my breakfast cereal.

16. @yitzhakkhoo: The total water consumption for one bath session at home is 2 wet tissues. For a family of 4.

17. @mrbrown: I told the kids to bathe at the school toilet sink before coming home.

28. @mrbrown: Every CNY, I refurnish my home by hanging out at lift lobbies.

29. @monatomic: Am trying not to pee in my pants from laughing too hard at #SGBudget #SGBudgetSavers tips (Don't waste NEWater! -mb)

30. @mrbrown: Save on cable TV. Watch Korean dramas by looking over the shoulder of train commuters.

31. @mrbrown: You see hand-dryer. I see laundry savings.

32. @ImranJohri: Bite half the satay. Put back. Repeat. All half-satays left? Restart! Double your pleasure.

34. @mrbrown: It just rained heavily. I just had a free shower at my office open air area.

42. @mrbrown: Buy one plate of sushi. Whack the wasabi and pickled ginger (sari) until you are full.

43. @mrbrown: Wipe bicycle rims with the wet wipe after wiping face.

44. @ernchang: Poop at work before going home. No need to scrub toilet. Guess where I'm tweeting from.

45. @mrbrown: I once saw an advanced #SGBudgetSavers auntie at a fast food outlet. She drank 30% of her soft drink & asked for an ice top-up.

46. @mrbrown: Ask for the curry gravy at the Chai Png stall. Hope to get a stray piece of chicken, potato or veggie.

The Universal Law of Mother Phone Call Physics

Every time I call my mother, I know I have to call twice. The first time is for her to hunt for her Nokia phone in her giant handbag.

The other method is to call my mom once, let it ring to the end. Then wait for her to find her phone and call me back.

A Facebook friend says she has to call thrice: "The first time for her mother to feel the vibration or to hear the ring tone. The second for her to hunt for the phone. And the third for her to eventually locate it and pick my call up. And she doesn't even hv a giant handbag to begin with."

And one day, science will explain why mothers hang up without saying "bye", leaving us in mid-sentence, followed by "Hello? Hello? Mom? You still there?"

No, your mom is not the only one who does this. And yes, we still love mom to bits regardless of this quirk.
