    Singaporean director Anthony Chen described as “surreal” the 15-minute standing ovation that followed the world premiere of his debut feature film "Ilo Ilo" at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday. Though the ending of the premiere couldn’t have been more perfect, the 29-year-old Chen said the beginning was quite “nerve-wrecking” as it was marred by technical glitches.

    AVA stops sale of brand of Taiwan bubble tea pearls

    The Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) has stopped the sale of a brand of tapioca balls commonly used to make Taiwan bubble tea in Singapore. In a Facebook post on Monday, the AVA said it had informed the local importers of Sunright brand tapioca balls -- commonly known as "pearls" -- to withdraw them from sale.

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez scored in the third minute of stoppage time to give Mexico a 2-1 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina in an international friendly.

With seconds remaining on Thursday, "Chicharito" pounced for the winner after the Bosnian defenders failed to clear the ball.

The Mexicans opened the scoring before 51,240 spectators at Soldier Field in the seventh minute with a goal by Giovani Dos Santos but Edin Dzeko equalized for the European side in the 29th minute.

The Mexicans next face Brazil on Sunday at Arlington, Texas, before opening their 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign against Guyana in Mexico City on June 8 before. They visit El Salvador for another qualifier four days later.
