		<title>New look for this website</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m giving a new look for this website. Sadly this site got hacked recently and if you&#8217;re using some browsers, it&#8217;s probably saying it&#8217;s a phishing site. And there was a plan that went out the window!
Seriously, though, it&#8217;s a bit of a pain and I&#8217;ve had to do a lot of updates to file [...]]]></description>

		<title>TOS #58: Anti-bac gel is good, hic!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You learn new things every day. No really.
Now the benefits of anti-bacteral gels have been touted for quite some time, given the spread of the H1N1 virus. But what we didn&#8217;t know is that they apparently are a good ingredient in cocktails.
The BBC reports of a prison who have banned the alcoholic gels following the [...]]]></description>

		<title>TOS#57: Pixar grants girl&#8217;s dying wish</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s nice occasionally to see some humanity in a world that can be as ruthless about things, particularly when it comes to doing business.
Pixar has had some of that to contend with, as its head man, a certain Steve Jobs, who is also CEO of Apple, has recently revealed that he had a liver transplant [...]]]></description>

		<title>A tale of two politics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Step back a pace and there&#8217;s an uncanny coincidence that we shouldn&#8217;t but notice. Two political systems, different challenges, but tricky ones, nonetheless.


The event that didn&#8217;t happen (according to China)
Today, China tries its best not to mark the twentieth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests. Over here, we&#8217;re all familiar with the video footage of [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s been a while&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Indeed, it&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve written much here. Like many things in life, things go in phases, and sometimes you just find that you don&#8217;t have as much time to do things as you used to. Like this blog.
But there are good reasons why I haven&#8217;t written so much in the last few [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bucket List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In response to Tanja - yes, I&#8217;m bored&#8230;
Place an X by all the things you&#8217;ve done and remove the X from the ones you have not, then send it to your friends (including me).
(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, do [...]]]></description>

		<title>TOS#56: Banana Split For My Baby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spotted on Facebook in Chinkypinky&#8217;s profile. It was funny enough that I did my own.
BTW, given that half of my iTunes playlist is full of Cantopop and Mandopop songs that would take me ages to translate, I limited it to my huge collection of swing tracks. Which incidentally, makes it all the more funny anyway!

		<title>Kitchen nightmares</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re deep into a downturn. No doubt about it, as all the signs of doom and gloom pierce through the headlines on the pink pages every morning. I remember sitting in a chalet in Italy in January, watch markets plummet on CNN faster than I could ski down slopes at that time. But the activity [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye, Don LaFontaine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You may not recall the name, you may not know what he looked like, but by gum, do you know his voice.
Don LaFontaine was the &#8220;famous&#8221; voice actor who provided the voiceover soundtrack to over 5,000 movie trailers. His deep, husky voice was perfect for all sorts of movies, and his catchphrase, &#8220;in a world [...]]]></description>
