Tamil matrimonials

Took a last minute flight back to S'pore to be at one of my secondary school friend's weddings, pleasent evening out - actually just a good time being back there. Got to meet up with my old dru.. friends. Even managed to see some of the new places around town - surprisingly ended up in an area I would never associate with Singapore, more with Chelsea/Greenwich village in NYC. Still, good to know that its up with the times.

Apart from that I had the barrage of marriage related pleas fired from my mother - she even signed me up at this place. Nevermind that I can barely speak Tamil, here is what "I" am supposedly looking for: A brahmin female (with a compatible star sign of course) with at least a bachelor's degree between the ages of 24 and 28 who is between 5'4 and 5'8. Wow, even I didn't know I wanted that.

Been a while...

If anyone has been keeping track of this - and I know most people have because of my extensive network of friends, incredible prose, pure wit and the quality of pictures that I post - there may be a chance that you may have realised that I haven't updated this in a while. Well... here it is. A few months on and I have to say -- I still feel like an outsider... its a shame - I thought that Chung King Mansions was leading me in the way of being the local yet dark guide around town, but no, I'm still the guy who ends up at Starbucks and Ikea all the time.

However - as I write this I have enrolled in a basic Cantonese lesson class and joined a dragon boat race team! Yes, I do not lie, here is some pictures - oh wait,
