Book Review

I was at Kino the other day, and was in the mood to buy a business book just [...]

Misheard Lyric Of The Day
Monday, 29 January, 2007
As misheard by yours truly for the longest time:
“Every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you…”
- From “Every Time You Go Away” by Paul Young
(Actual Lyric: Every time you go away, you take a piece of me with you.)
How Do You Beat Federer In A Match?
Sunday, 28 January, 2007
No no…that question is so yesterday.
The new question to ask is: How do you even take a set away from Federer?
“Just Sebastian” By Sebastian Tan
Saturday, 27 January, 2007
Yesterday night’s performance by Sebastian Tan was great.
In the same way Emma Yong and Pam Oei had their own little song recitals at the Esplanade Recital Studio in the last few years, Sebastian Tan staged his own show over the last two nights as a follow-up to last February’s Broadway Beng (which I didn’t go [...]
Let’s Savour It While We Still Can
Saturday, 27 January, 2007
Many of the sporting greats have retired.
Schumacher’s retired, Thorpe’s retired, Jordan’s retired, Bird’s retired, Van Basten’s retired, Montana’s retired, Ali’s retired…but today, we still have a sporting great in our midst, in the prime of his life.
His name is Roger Federer.
Quite simply, the most amazing tennis player alive today.
And quite possibly, the greatest tennis player who ever lived.
(Even [...]

There goes another one.
Poor turnout closes Singapore Crazy Horse
(Channelnewsasia Article - 25th Jan ‘07)
…
“Erm…what?”, you say.
You mean after so much publicity and hoo-hah, the business still had to close down?
(Even after Xiaxue and Rosalyn visited the place on Episode 4 of Girls Out Loud???)
That’s quite sad you know.
Apparently Eng Wah Organization, who brought in the show, [...]
Happiness
Tuesday, 23 January, 2007
Just when you thought life doesn’t offer any more excitement when you hit 27.
…
Today is one of the happiest days of my recent life.
The band that I play keyboards in, a.k.a. Marcel and the Sunshine Funky Monkeys (no, please don’t ask) played a “3 song + 1 encore + 1 Happy Birthday song” audition at the [...]
The “In My Life” Mystery Solved

The Mystery
One of the biggest mysteries in my life (oops, pardon the accidental pun) was how the Beatles played the harpsichord solo in the lovely song “In My Life” (one of my all-time favs, by the way).
Seriously.
I’ve been wondering about this for years, ever since I heard [...]
Random Thoughts On The AFC Title Game
Monday, 22 January, 2007
The Colts won.
The Patriots sure gave the Colts a huge scare, leading 21-3 at the half.
Great comeback by the Colts.
The monkey’s finally off Peyton Manning’s back.
I’m happy for Peyton Manning.
But I’m not happy that the Patriots lost.
The Patriots have nothing to be ashamed of, having achieved what they did with the limited resources they had [...]
I Wouldn’t Go Back To 2Hot Cafe @ VivoCity
Saturday, 20 January, 2007
Y’know, I don’t usually do this, but I feel that as a consumer, I am entitled to my opinion on what I think of certain restaurants…even if that opinion is really bad.
Hence today, I’ll give my rather unfavourable review of a restaurant I just had dinner at earlier tonight.
As always, I will try to be [...]
