1. A Singapore Taxi Drivers Diary

These are the daily stories of Singapore’s street, told by the probably only taxi driver in this world with a PhD from Stanford and a proven track record of scientific accomplishments. Being forced out of his research job at the height of his scientific career he decided to take on the job of driving a taxi through Singapore and make a living out of it, at least for the time being.
As a result we get the pleasure of reading about his daily customers and real life stories that he experiences every day!

2. Things We Forget

“Post It Notes Left For Their Fate In Public Places” – That’s the blogs title and describes pretty much the whole wonderful concept and idea behind it!

Combined with witty One liners, often directed towards typical Singaporean things, and left at random places in Singapore, this is as true as it gets!

3. The Viper Pit

This blog, written by the members of a branding and communications agency, takes a critical look at the media output of Singapore’s advertising industry. They write opinion pieces, track industry trends and interview some of the people that shape and define creative Singapore
The daily analysis of Singapore print ads is very interesting for anyone into marketing and creative studies.

5 + 6. Collection of Singapore Promotions

It is impossible to stay updated and keep track of the thousands of available promotions, offers and discounts that shops in Singapore offer every day. These two blogs at least try to collect all these data and supply you with the latest offerings.
Included are also advertisements from print and other media which makes this a very good page to start of your day with, in case you have planned to go shopping later.
