I abandoned Friendster after a while, when it got slower and I lost interest in the whole social networking fad. But now that it’s improved, I’ve logged back in and discovered: Horrors – old incriminating photographs of me and my past lives!

I haven’t written about this early enough, but fans of the fusion Japanese restaurant Bistro Cameleon should be delighted to hear that it has reopened at Robertson Walk! The only difference, say the new, empowered waitresses and chef (employee-owners, I heard), is that they now spell it properly with a ‘h’. In short, it’s “Chameleon”. …

This last post, for instance, struck a note with me. He’s lost his mobile phones more times than I have. Heh. He shares cabs …

To think I was celebrating the acquisition of Rojo by Sixapart in a recent post. A few days ago I logged into Rojo for my daily fix of geek news and was surprised to find that the tag cloud was gone. Gone! When I first used Rojo I found it a bit overwhelming but soon …
