Ok, this is definitely new to me. It’s a brand new feeling which I’ve never experienced before. Today someone from the Songcraft songwriting group (namely Kah Loong) covered one of my recent songs called “Back Into The Arms”. (You can check it out at Kah Loong’s new blog, or download it directly from here.) Talk about a new [...]

Common Singlish 101
Wednesday, 18 July, 2007
Just some common phrases I hear being bandied about in Singapore every now & then. Here they are in no particular order: 1. Cer-fi-ti-cate. (Just a simple mix-up between the two middle syllabi.) 2. That’s mean that. (Placing the “s” at the end of the wrong word. This tends to be a common syndrome.) 3. Nows-ah-day. [...]

Working vs. Running A Business
Friday, 13 July, 2007
I think there are many differences between being an employee in a large organization and being actively-involved in running a small business. Of course, many large organizations are businesses themselves, but there’s a difference in the way the people behave in the two scenarios. 1) Here’s one: When you’re working in a large organization… Somehow or [...]
About The “Dim Sum Dollies” And Google Search Results
Friday, 13 July, 2007
As you might know, I wrote a full-length review on the Dim Sum Dollies in “The History of Singapore” a few days back, which is my usual custom after watching a particular musical or play. And the last few days, I realised that I’ve been getting quite a number of hits on my blog from [...]
Have You Seen My Book?
Thursday, 12 July, 2007
I once bought this huge book – The Beatles Complete Scores. I bought it as my birthday present (well, actually I got my parents to buy it for me) way back when I was in Sec 4 or something. That’s like, more than ten years ago. (Yeah, I was a huge Beatles fan even from way [...]
Brilliant Commercial
Tuesday, 10 July, 2007
Just one of those ads which makes you go “W-O-W”. My advice is simply to watch the whole thing from beginning till end, with an open mind. (Trust me, you’ll want to watch it more than once.)
Dim Sum Dollies – The History Of Singapore
Monday, 9 July, 2007
Delightful fare that came in bite-sized portions, but didn’t quite manage to hit the sweet spot. SO I CAUGHT the latest – and grandest yet – sixth installment of the Dim Sum Dollies in “The History of Singapore” at the Esplanade Theatre yesterday night. Apparently it was the gala opening night, which probably explained the fact that I [...]
Thoughts On The Brisith GP (Silverstone)
Monday, 9 July, 2007
In qualifying, when Lewis Hamilton clinched pole position, my first reaction was “where in the world did THAT come from?!?” Really, taking into account his performance during the entire qualifying session up till that point, I didn’t think he had it in him. But he produced a stunning performance, as usual. (I think we’re beginning [...]
Random Thoughts On The Wimbledon Final
Monday, 9 July, 2007
Roger Federer certainly was made to work for his 5th consecutive Wimbledon title today. It was one of those games where you thought Nadal had done enough to win, but somehow Federer turned the heat on in the fifth set to close things out. It is an awesome sight to see Federer turn the heat [...]
