Wind In Your Ears

Have you occassionally ever hear your own breathing inside the ears ?

Or hear yourself talking like you are inside a barrel ?

It is one of those occassions where the Eustachian Tube is open when it is naturally suppose to be closed.



The medical dudes called it PET - Patulous Eustachian Tube.


Before you rush yourself into the nearest clinic, you can temporarily alleviate the symptom by sitting in a chair with your head between the knees.

You can also perform a routine of lying down four times a day with legs elevated to around 20 inches for at least two weeks. Best upon waking, and before retiring for the day.

Watch what is happening in the ear when PET occurs.

Queenstown Landmark

Built in 1971 and become a meeting place for the young and old.

In a couple of months time it will become a plot of field.

Block 27A Queenstown MRT.



Demolition in progress. The residents of this block would surely miss the valuable MRT station at their doorstep.



A short distance away, block 39A, demolition is in progress.

In 5 years time in its place will be new HDB flats.

It's Back

The haze.

The thick suffocating smoke from Sumatra, the result of excessive clearing and illegal burning of slashed vegetation by land owners and logging companies.


The city centre - financial district of Raffles Place


The southern part of the island

Hazeful or hazeless, these dudes are not about to miss their fix of the beautiful game.

The IT Quack

Overheard at a PC shop in a Singapore preferred IT centre.

A customer walked into the shop and asked.
"Do you have Windows 7 software".

The salesman replied "yes, how many pieces ?"

The customer - "one piece."

Salesman "which version? a 32 bit or a 64 bit ?"

"what is the different?", asked the customer.

The reply, "all the same, the difference is the number, sometimes they feel like calling it 32 and sometimes they call it 64"

Halelujah to IT quacks.
