I headed down to Holland Village today to do the shopping and open a new bank account; I thought cheque books were for old people, but they’re still used a lot here in Singapore.

Anyway I stopped for a frozen yoghurt and being the kind of guy that I am I was easily amused at the slogans used to promote the yoghurts.

You can see some of the others on Flickr.

I recently went for an afternoon cuppa with some friends here in Singapore to help recover from the Nike Human Race. It was a traditional Singapore coffee shop, not a modern chain like Starbucks of Gloria Jeans.

The latest instalment of what makes me laugh in Singapore was one of the posters on the wall.

I’m a big fan of coffee, and I love my french press at home as well as the Espresso machine, but maybe all these years I should have been using a sock?

The coffee there has been prepared the same way since 1944 - I just hope they’ve changed the sock. Needless to say, I opted for tea…
