Why Are Most Job Interviewers in Singapore So Mean?
I felt so mad and sorry for Lady J for what she had to go through. It’s an issue that has been infuriating me for years. Why don’t job interviewers in Singapore show some basic decency and respect. Haven’t they … Continue reading

Humdrum Mall Observations: Bishan Junction 8
This shop, the Icing Room, would be quite pretty and attractive (I for one can’t resist pink). If it was the only one of its kind. But it’s a part of a chain and when you see them everywhere, it … Continue reading
