I chanced upon this YouTube video. Apparently it’s one of the most viewed YouTube clips recently.
If I’m not wrong, this clip is from one of the MTV “Sweet 16″ episodes.
Now, I’ve watched my fair share of “Sweet 16″, because the way many of the princesses behave on the show is simply astounding.
However, I think [...]
Y’know, I ain’t much of a songwriter, but songwriting does interest me somewhat.
I write songs either for self-expression, or to send out a message to others, or just simply for the fun of it.
Anyway, here’s a rather rough cut of a little song I wrote earlier this evening, which is one of the songs I will be [...]
We all know full well the great Beatles hits such as “Let It Be”, “Hey Jude”, “Yesterday”, “I Want To Hold Your Hand”, “She Loves You”, “In My Life”, “Can’t Buy Me Love”, “Ticket To Ride”, “The Long and Winding Road”, “All You Need is Love”, etc (I could go on).
However, there’s one particular Beatles song which [...]
If you were to ask someone to name his or her favourite Phil Collins song, chances are they would name one of his many hits such as “Another Day in Paradise” (the one that goes “oh, think twice, it’s just another day for you and me in paradise…”) or “True Colours” or “Groovy Kind of [...]
Most of you might know that I’d always list Paul McCartney as one of my favourite songwriters of all time in a heartbeat.
I’d rank him waaaay up there as far as songwriting is concerned, far above many other songwriters.
But somehow I’ve got this rather strange feeling that his songwriting in the last decades has failed [...]
I wrote about the upcoming new Channel 5 show “Live The Dream” some time back, and I said there wasn’t much hope in it for the show.
Well, I guess I was wrong.
If they can find Singapore’s version of Paul Potts, then the show could be a smash hit.
(Paul Potts was recently [...]
I once worked for a bank. It was a huge bank. A listed company.
It was the best job I ever had. (Well, it was the only job I ever had since graduation.)
It treated me really well. The money was good, the offices were posh, the working environment was friendly, the benefits were first rate…it was basically [...]
FACT: Everyone loves a good listener.
This is something which I’ve always believed in, and will continue to do so.
Show me someone who doesn’t like to have someone else around to be a good listener to him or her.
Wanna know a secret? I think everyone likes to talk about himself or herself. Better still, everyone likes [...]
I missed the first half an hour of the race because I stupidly thought it was going to start at 2am instead of 1am, but anyway, I felt the Canadian GP was easily the most eventful race yet this season.
…
Lewis Hamilton’s Win
What more can you say about the guy?
It was never a matter of “whether” he would [...]
(NB: I wrote an entry on Hitchoo a few days back.)
So I was catching up on my newspaper reading and I discovered that there was an almost full-page article of Hitchoo.com on page 40 of yesterday’s Sunday Times (complete with a huge picture of the founder Hu Yinghan holding up a large heart-shaped pillow with the [...]
