You know how a song starts to creep all over you, and it swirls all over in your head for the next few days? And you find yourself humming it all the time? Well, I can feel a new song (it’s actually a very old song, but y’know what I mean) starting to creep all over [...]

Let’s Salute Our World Champion Female Swimmer
Monday, 11 December, 2006
No, I’m not talking about Tao Li, whom almost everyone would by now know struck gold at the Asian Games.

Let’s give [...]
Local Music in Singapore
Saturday, 9 December, 2006
I recently had an interesting lunch conversation with a nice guy who was introduced to me by a mutual friend. This guy is one of the owners of a really cool musical instruments shop somewhere near where I work. We were talking about the music industry in Singapore and how small it really is. We [...]

I’m not being mean, I’m just wondering. … I guess I’m not the only one who felt the show aspired to be Singapore’s version of [...]

Bowl Controversy System
Monday, 4 December, 2006
While I’m not an expert on American college football, the recent events and controversy with regards to the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) selection of Florida over Michigan to play Ohio State in the Championship Game has intrigued me greatly. You see, last year there was no question about the title game. USC and Texas remained [...]
