“Spelling it Out”

11 May 2026 1 minute read 0 comments cryotosensei

“Spelling it Out” piqued my interest because I was the in-charge of NorthLight’s Spelling Bee for three years, so the thought of reading about Ben’s preparation for the Scripps National Spelling Bee appealed to me. I didn’t expect Margaret Finnegan...

Today's Daily Song of the Day: Genesis and Peter Gabriel - "Turn It On Again" (Live 1982)

10 May 2026 6 minute read 2 comments jasonmcgathey

As huge a band as Genesis eventually became, in many respects you can still make the case that they are underrated. Especially if you branch outward and consider the meteoric solo careers of successive ringleaders Peter Gabriel and Phil Collin...

I am kinda doing this one for fun. If you were to think back to your childhood did you have a favourite book or maybe a few favourites, books that tragically are no longer on your bookshelf, but that you wish you could read again, even one more time....

Our Inner Savage

4 May 2026 5 minute read 3 comments rah

With Mama_Rah and the boys being away I have been home alone all weekend and so I have taken the opportunity to binge-watch the new BBC adaption of William Golding's The Lord of the Flies. It is, of course, a story I am familiar with, given the broad...

A short while after Swervedriver leave the stage, on this already dreamlike seeming night in December of ’93, the target of our latest infatuation finally materializes before us: Smashing Pumpkins, a Chicago foursome who’ve blown up beyond belie...

“Budget Happy”

I know “Budget Happy” looks like a girly book, and in some ways, it is because it features the financial journey of a mum taking control of her finances. Expect batch cooking and shopping lists and disciplined spending among the tips she will dispens...

“Messi’s Magic”

26 Apr 2026 1 minute read 0 comments cryotosensei

The power of YouTube. I neither play football nor watch matches, so it’s amazing that my son borrowed “Messi’s Magic” due to his addiction to YouTube videos. Having said that, I think it’s serendipitous that he borrowed it because the World Cup will...

Today's Daily Song of the Day: Swervedriver - "Deep Seat"

The night of the Smashing Pumpkins concert, Kenny shows up at my house with Chris riding shotgun, and we cruise south to Marengo to pick up Heather en route. Displaying considerably more dexterity for the OSU parking scene than I had, Kenny find...

“Hunch”

Extrinsic rewards should be beneath me now, but sadly nope. I finished this book within one day because I was hooked on the special reading promotion organised by Yishun Branch Library. I want to redeem a Mr Kiasu Comic Book, and boy, is my motivatio...
