Testing PicApp

Football - AC Milan v Manchester United UEFA Champions League Second Round First Leg

AC Milan 2 Manchester United 3

Pretty amazed that PicApp offers high-quality creative and editorial stock photographs for bloggers to use. For free.

And in other news, United beat Milan early this morning. I am still boycotting Mio, so I didn’t get to watch the game.

Sarah auditions for TV!

This is Sarah Soh.

Formerly Sarah Wong. (Salah So Wrong… hahah!)

And this is her audition for a new Australian Broadcasting Corporation kids’ channel.

Gooooo Sarah! Hope you get this. =)

Her boy, Aidan, is already the face of Heinz formula milk… so she has to keep up with him!

Raffles' Ark Redrawn: Natural history drawings from the collection of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles

There has been a flurry of letters and coverage in the press recently about the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research.

What I don’t think has been mentioned is: why is the museum named after the founder of Singapore?

As the Guardian puts it, the man was a “voracious wildlife enthusiast”.

I’m sure Raffles would be delighted if the Raffles Museum finds a large, permanent and accessible location.
