This isn’t going to be one of those “I just came back from a mission trip and I’m a completely transformed human being” or “I just came back from a mission trip and I am inspired to change the world” kind of post.
I’m just not built that way.
However, I would like to share some of the many [...]

It’s Times Like This You Really Have To Wonder…

…what goes on behind closed doors at those really high-level meetings in the civil sector.
Y’know, those high-level meetings involving only the very senior directors, where they discuss really important stuff like, say, how to come up with things like this:
This clip above is fast making its rounds in the local blogosphere, drawing reactions which are most [...]
A Nice Christmas Song By The Pretenders
Tuesday, 20 November, 2007
I recently had a discussion with a musical friend on whether there is such a thing as a “Christmasy melody”.
As in, when you look at Christmas songs and carols, they tend to have this “Christmasy” feel about them, don’t they? And how do you exactly describe this feel? Is it just the lyrics which give [...]

Tuesday, 20 November, 2007
As I will be out of action for the next one whole week (as in, totally out of action) I shall leave you, my faithful reader, with some clips of one of the most gorgeous and talented female rock singers ever.

Random Musing Of The Day: “Don’t Ask Me Again”
Monday, 19 November, 2007
I was just wondering…you know those pop-ups on your Windows and other programmes which give you tips and such, and there’s this check-box option called “Don’t ask me again” which you can select? And what you do is you select that option and click “OK”, then it NEVER pops up agian?
So what happens if you suddenly want it to ask you [...]

(Click to enlarge)
Occasionally in the coming weeks I will drop ever-so-subtle hints about the upcoming Songcraft mini-concert which I am putting up together with a few friends.
I intend for it to be a small-to-mid-scale, intimate evening of music sharing. Make that original music sharing. It is essentially a showcase of some of the original songs which a [...]
When All The Tears Have Dried
Friday, 16 November, 2007
I’ll always remember the night when I watched Emma Yong sing “When All The Tears Have Dried” during her solo performance at the Esplanade Recital Studio some time back.
“When All The Tears Have Dried” is a song composed by Dick Lee, and is from the musical “Sing To The Dawn”, with lyrics by Stephen Clark.
I still remember [...]
Review Of “Beautiful Seed” By Corrinne May
Thursday, 15 November, 2007
I haven’t done album reviews in a long while.
That’s partly because I haven’t been listening to full albums for a long time. I believe the concept of the “album” as we know it is slowly losing its relevance in today’s music landscape. There was a time when we stepped in a CD shop, bought an [...]

Best sports news I’ve read all week: Schumacher quickest on F1 return
Quote: “Despite a year in retirement, the 38-year-old German looked far from ring-rusty as he set a time of 1m21.922s, completing 64 laps of the Spanish Grand Prix venue.”
Granted, it’s only testing, and Lewis, Fernando, Kimi and Massa did not participate…but boy, it sure does [...]
