Sitting at a cafe, listening to the ambient noise. The wind blowing in the trees around you, a bicycle passing by, the sun touching your skin softly, the typing of your keyboard or flipping of the page of your book. Birds tweeting and flying off.
What you don't hear, are cars in mass, heavy traffic in front of the cafe area, crowded area, no music or soft in the background of the cafe and people or children talking/screaming as loud as they can.
This, does not exist in Singapore. I am a fan of open cafe places with a terrasse or a balcony. I can enjoy a sip of my drink, working quietly on my stuff and enjoy my quiet moment.
I have not found it here. Not even at home. Not even when i sleep.
Quiet Singapore? Nowhere.
Read on this issue on my blog and leave me a note for any comments. Thanks!

News: U4Ria
Ever wanted to know which sex shop has the best discreet service in Singapore? Well, my partner and i found it!
Yes, i must say that i am some kind of a "sex lover" and an experimental person. Going to a sex shop is part of a hobby and my every day life, to be really honest.
"The Quest of the Holy Sex Shop in Singapore", shall i call it.
I have searched for the best* sex shop all over Singapore for the past 5 years now. And just recently i have discovered only one, which provides the service i was looking for:
friendly discreet very knowledgable about their products not shy when informing you about the product honest and trustworthy reliable and most importantly they remember you and welcome you like you were part of their family. *all the above
Isn't that, what you were looking for too? Seriously.
My partner and i have been going there regularly, eventhough it does not mean we come out of the shop buying something, but it is just to have our regular "shopping time".
The funny girl working there is really really open and recognises us immediatly. She introduces us to the latest thing, let us try the toys (try, meaning, we can touch the toy. Don't worry.. nothing else! Hehehe), even demonstrates it on herself (if necessary) and if we ask her precise questions on how to maintain a dildo, for example, she is able to give us a few answers and possibilities on how to and what are the best products, which ones are more reasonable, etc. You tell her your budget and she will definitely not bother you with the range of products not on your financial list.
One day we asked her about lubes. We were wondering if there were any lubes that are made for sensitive skin. We tried a few before and it really started to itch my partner's private parts to the point that it started to get bad red rashes. The seller started to simpathise with us and introduced us with water-based lubes, non-flavoured and (!!) a lube which not only enhances the passion and lust, but which also can last longer than any other lube after opening. Although the price of it was 3 times more than the durex one, we used to buy at any 7/11 shops, after testing it, we must admit that it is really worth the money.
It's been a year now, since we bought it and we still can use it. The expiry date is still not arriving, the lube still works perfectly and mind you, one drop of it will do the work. Yes. Only ONE DROP. For those who are interested in this lube, check out this site for Astroglide.
For those who are still sceptical (or shy) about having a look at this sex shop, let me give you an other example.
My partner and i recently bought a strap-on and a dildo (cyberskin, very realisitc! *still amazed*). After having used only about 4 times within a month, it unfortunately broke at the base, so that it won't hold on the strap-on anymore. And because it is not very cheap (S$300) we got a bit pissed off... We just hoped that we were able to get a replacement, although we know that sex shops normally don't exchange or take back the toys (of course!). We tried our luck and went back to the shop.
We explained to this girl what happened (in details) and she was really understanding. Thank god the boss was there, so we were able to explain the situation to both. Both were really understanding and we actually received a new one! *YEAH!* We were very surprised and even more when the boss told us that he will tell Hustler about the weakness of the base of this cyberskin dildo.
This experience really made me start loving this shop. It is easy to talk sex and sex toys issues with the people from U4Ria. You guys just rock! Thanks for everything so far. You can literally say:
"You get what you want and when you want it. You'll definitely will be satisfied..."
*wink*

News: The Vagina Monologues
"Cunt Talk Now!"
Was one of the play's great sentence about vaginas.
Eve Ensler's famous Vagina Monologue play, which is being performed all over the world and which has been changing and renewing its monologue, finally got to Singapore where i was chosen to sound design the play. I felt it as being a great opportunity and biggest pleasure i could have been given (next to composing a full season of a TV show for kids, of course). From the 2nd to the 4th of March 2006 a group of NUS students decided to organise this play to as a charity to:
Working with her was really interesting, because she not only gave me the chance to work at a play, but she also gave me a few new views on career options, which i am greatly thankful.
One thing that really made me happy, was to hear from the cast and of a few form the audience, that they not only liked the soundtracks, but some were wondering from which movie or soundtrack 2 particular songs came from. They obviously really liked my composed songs "Purpose" and "Shut Up, The Song", that i composed for the short film of Lisa Cunico "Decay" (2005). It really made my day and it also made me see that i do have potential in this line of work.
Besides that, if the paly comes to one of your hometown, go watch it! It is entertaining and funny, yet dramatic and shows you the real world in a new perspective.
Well done to everyone!! =)
