(I’ve had more than 3 unrelated friends forward me these pictures so I’m thinking most people would have seen them by now.) Pretty amazing stuff, don’t you think? I’m really amazed at the level of creativity in these [...]

Everything Changes
Saturday, 25 November, 2006
Check out a young Robbie Williams singing the lead vocals for “Everything Changes”, one of Take That’s many hit songs (and one of my favs, by the way). Y’know, back in the day, Gary Barlow sang the lead for most of Take That’s songs. He was basically the face of Take That – he sang [...]
Ian Thorpe Signs Off From A Swimmingly Good Career
Thursday, 23 November, 2006
So Ian Thorpe, one of the greatest swimmers of our generation, has announced his retirement from competitive swimming at age 24. He ends his career having won 11 world titles, 5 Olympic golds, and having broken 13 individual long-course world records(!). He still holds the world record in the 200m freestyle with a time of 1:44.06, and in the 400m freestyle [...]
Of Rain’s Ticket Prices and Market Forces
Tuesday, 21 November, 2006
So I guess by now most people are aware that tickets for the upcoming Rain concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium next January have been priced as such – S$888, S$688, S$488, S$388, S$288, S$188. I believe these might be the highest ever ticket prices for any concert held in Singapore. The S$888 and S$688 tickets are all SOLD OUT by now [...]
About Fisico
Monday, 20 November, 2006
I was just reading this interesting article on the ITV site the other day. Well, it’s not really an article…it’s a collection of reader’s comments and opinions on Giancarlo Fisichella, and whether he’ll perform well next season or not. My favourite comment was a comment from Ren (from USA): “There are the Mika and Alonso’s [...]

The stage musical first opened on Broadway in 1964, with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and book by Joseph Stein. The movie adaptation (which I’ve just watched) was released in 1971, and is directed by Norman Jewison. … General Impressions Although the [...]

Now this is news. CNN’s Larry King has revealed that he has never used or searched on the Internet. How incredible is that?

It’s All In The Eyes (An Experiment)
Thursday, 16 November, 2006
Next time you’re in the mood for some mindless experiments, try this: Get a friend to ask you a series of random questions that require you to think, calculate or recall a fact. For example: - what were the last two movies you watched? – what’s 124 minus 59? or what’s 13 mutiplied by 9? (maths questions are good!) – [...]
The Bible Verse Outside Tangs
Wednesday, 15 November, 2006
Was walking along Orchard Road yesterday, and I noticed a huge decorative banner of a bible verse that was put up as part of this year’s Christmas decoration for Tangs Plaza (at least I think it was Tangs Plaza…it was one of those buildings opposite Wisma Atria). My first reaction was “wow, it’s nice to know they’ve put [...]
