mini cooper clubman and pat

By Pat Law™ • Feb 20th, 2010

When I first strapped myself on to the driver’s seat in the MINI Cooper Clubman, I thought I was about to take off. To Timbuktu and never to return, or something. First introduced in 2008 as a new member in the MINI family, the MINI Cooper Clubman, in the words of Edmunds, “Keeps all the goodness of the original Cooper formula and throws in a liberal dash of practicality.”



the dirt with xiaxue

By Pat Law™ • Feb 2nd, 2010

As a digital strategist by day, I thank God for the existence of Xiaxue. Perhaps vulgar and suicidal even for me to say so, but I reckon the local social media realm will not be as it is today, if not for her existence. The local social media realm is my marketplace. Xiaxue is my marketplace benchmark. My wagyu cow if you may. Ridiculously expensive. Not necessarily appropriate. But people know of it, and that makes beef in general, desirable.

The sum of me is the result of my experiences, both good and bad. blankanvas is a lifelong experience fueled by no other than your interest. I will not lie – I blog because I know you’re reading.

By Pat Law™ • Jan 26th, 2010

In spite of everything that has unfortunately happened in my life of late, in spite of the fact that I’m this close to collapsing from sheer exhaustion physically, mentally and emotionally… the show must go on. blankanvas is celebrating her third anniversary this Wednesday at OverEasy, and I can’t wait to meet my fellow bloggers of this little red dot we call home.



majestic malacca indeed

By Pat Law™ • Dec 27th, 2009

Resting comfortably at the cultural crossroad since the 1920s, gazing serenely across the Malacca River, the Majestic Malacca felt like home from the first foot into the lobby. I felt the need to remove my shoes for Christ’s sake. The assistant manager of Housekeeping, Mitsuhiro Yamaga, welcomed my traveling companion, ThangDynasty, and I at the reception.

By Pat Law™ • Dec 14th, 2009

I have encountered feedback from skeptics who have more faith in Tiger Woods staying monogamous than they do with Singapore-based blogs producing content comparable to international blogs. There is truth in what the skeptics are saying but I reckon that the fundamental problem we have here is awareness. I’d bet you a round of beer than you won’t imagine the blogs listed below being from Singapore.

be safe, play safe

By Pat Law™ • Nov 28th, 2009

I was all but a tender eighteen years of age when I found my life being placed on a pedestal, as a result of my own frivolity. I’ve just returned from a visit to my ex-girlfriend in Melbourne, and I was getting a little bothered with the itching discharge I’ve been experiencing over the past couple of weeks.



how to use Social Media like a Rockstar

By Pat Law™ • Nov 15th, 2009

So there I was, late again for my 0800h lecture, no thanks to the bad traffic. A good ten minutes over, to be precise. While I’d otherwise care less, the circumstance was different this time. I was the one conducting the lecture. “You’re the guest lecturer and you’re late. Nice going, Pat.” I remembered cursing myself as I searched frantically for the lecture hall.
