Betje – My new Dutch Cruiser
I recently bought a bicycle. This is Betje . I’ll admit this is mostly because of I spent the previous 6 weeks freelancing at a Kinetic – Design agency where they are quite enthusiastic about bicycles. And, designers being designers… they had really cool looking bikes. I got sucked in – but I wasn’t going [...]
Keeping A Diary with Stefan Sagmeister
Keeping A Diary Supports Personal Development I stumbled upon this by accident recently. This was a while ago in 2006 but I can actually say I’ve worked with Stefan Sagmeister. It was one of those days when you hear a superstar designer is in town and you go, “Wah! Wow!” He was here on a [...]
Happy Weekend

Unlike our parents, we grew up in a sanitised and über efficient society that doesn’t accept anything less, only looking to better [...]
Singapore Gaga

It’s one that really defines what Singapore is about in an authentic manner that is charming and honest.
