http://www.aussiepete.com/2010/06/simple-solution-to-singapore-traffic.html DISCLAIMER Before I air my observations, a very quick disclaimer - I am no way criticising any one individual here. The observation is one of collective behaviour and largely a result of enforcement of basic...

Full Article: http://www.aussiepete.com/2010/05/mathematics-is-definitely-sexy-video.html Danica McKellar (better known as Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years) has made a switch from actress to mathematician... and what better way to promote her new book than (wait for it).... taking her...

The latest campaign from 'Tourism Australia' is absolutely brilliant!! But "There's Nothing Like"... an Aussie sense of humour. That's why it didn't take long for a parody site to begin. [OTHER POLITICALLY INCORRECT 'NOTHING LIKE' PICS]

The dawn service itself was extremely moving. Although I had heard stories of Australia's involvement in World War 2 from my late Grandfather, and have seen numerous documentaries and movies on the subject, and of course studied in history at school the role that the ANZACs played in defending...

Hey guys... it's been a while since I've posted here, but I know a few of my mates here would appreciate this. The Zoo Weekly Magazine's Top 10 Finalists are in for this year's Aussie Beach Babe of the Year Competition. [CHECK OUT THE TOP 10] For example.... Sally, 25 Event Sales...

Kellie Crawford's photo shoot in an Australian men's magazine has been a hot topic and is full of controversy this week. On Xmas Eve, 2008, after spending 10-years as one of the key members of the children's entertainment group Hi-5, Kellie quit the immensely popular team of singers and...

Far be it from me to offer a one-sided account of the "shocking" video footage of a commuter being allegedly bashed by a train driver at Melbourne's Flinders St Station (as aired on Channel 7), it's important to note that other 'witnesses' have claimed that the footage was 'doctored' so as not...

It seems that the 2009 rugby league promotion video that I previously embedded has been disabled by the ARL. So I must add another video to celebrate the kick off of the season proper this weekend. If you don't often watch Ch170 on Starhub in SG, I recommend you check it out this weekend to see...

The title of this post, is the same as the title that came into my email inbox with the attached pictures. Pretty amazing photos and data so couldn't resist posting them here. These are ships lying idle off Singapore. One of the comments attached to the email from my friend, said "I...

Just after the fires devestated peoples' lives in the south of the country, now the Qlders are getting set for what could turn out to be one of the worst cyclones in history. Let's hope that the 300km per hour winds die down before it hits too many homes... and although not usually the most...

Between the end of September and beginning of March, I tend to start going a little stir crazy. The withdrawal symptoms kick-in. Why can't the Aussie Rules and Rugby League footy seasons run for 12 months of the year? Anyway - it's starting again (thank God for the Australian network on...

"I am Australian" - The Victorian Bushfire Memorial Service for the 'Black Saturday' bushfires on the 7th February 2009. (Includes two new verse's penned by Bruce Woodley for the Memorial). Performed by Bruce Woodley & Claire Woodley joined by Merelyn and David Carter survivors from the...

After a month in Shanghai, I'm now back in warm Singapore. I must say that as usual, the SIA pilot did a wonderful job on the landing at Changi... but sometimes even the best pilots can struggle if the airport is not very well designed. As a frequent traveller who endures hundreds of...

Yesterday we attended the photo studio in Shanghai where Jaime had his pictures taken (along with a few of his Mummy and Daddy) for the largest baby and infant magazine in China. The pictures will be used in the issue to be published at the end of February, and will be the images...

http://www.aussiepete.com/2009/02/understanding-global-differences-is-it.html Most conflicts in the world today (and throughout history), are as a result of misunderstanding or intolerance, or a combination of the two. Whether the differences stem from religious beliefs, political ideologies...

I'm currently still up in Shanghai, and with so many things to do - work and personal - time has not allowed me to write many blog articles these past couple of weeks. It would be remiss of me however, not to offer an update on one of the more interesting aspects of this year's annual trip up...

Now and then I tend to move away from the jovial posts and articles and offer up my thoughts and reasoning on some more serious issues. As we move toward the Lunar New Year (Chinese Year of the Ox), I want to take some time out and reflect on the profound changes that I’ve incurred in my life...

This weekend just gone by, I took the opportunity to visit 'Body Decor' at the Heeren Shops, and the very talented artist, Valerie, added a new tattoo to my personal 'body canvas' collection. However, I chose something very personal to my family and me to get inked on my body forever - I...
