A little bit lost
I was invited to dinner at a work colleague’s condo. She lives at 03-01, which sounds like a reasonable address until you discover that her condo complex has 16 different lobbies, each with an apartment 03-01. And her phone is turned off.

Leaving Drinks At The Projector
t was a friend’s leaving drinks tonight at the bar at the Projector, a hipster cinema in the Golden Mile Tower, so I went to see him after I’d read the girls their stories. Except I went to the Golden Mile Complex (my first visit in five-and-a-half years), which is next to the Golden Mile […]

La Serpiente tried to help, by taking everything out of my underwear drawer and throwing it on the floor, but sadly […]

What we talk about when we talk about loss
My wife lost her phone today. She still had the ability to communicate with me because I read all my email on my phone, so she could cajole and plead with me to call her phone to help her find it. I rang it repeatedly to no avail, and eventually when I came home from […]

Late to the party
Tonight I went to Lee Kwan Yoo’s house. By mistake. I don’t want you to think I visit the perpetual leader of Singapore on a regular basis. This kind of thing only happens when I get into a taxi and give vague directions.
