The movie “The Leap Years” opens today, 29th Feb.
Have been hearing and reading a lot about this movie, from newspapers to TV to radio. Massive publicity.
But my main aim is not to talk about the movie (which I may or may not watch, though the reviews seem rather unfavourable), but rather, the music from the [...]

Say “No” To Piracy
Thursday, 28 February, 2008
It was widely reported that in the first 2 weeks of Microsoft Vista’s launch in China last year, only a total of 244 genuine copies were sold.
Can you believe that? It’s one of the most amazing pieces of news I’ve read!

My heart goes out to Eduardo.
You never want to see this kind of injury happen to anyone.
Ever.
“Love Me, Spoil Me”
Sunday, 24 February, 2008
There was this cover story on Sunday Life! today which was really interesting.
I found it so interesting I had to write a post on it.
Basically it talked about how a recent survey found that S’pore women had extremely high expectations of men when it came to dating.
The full article can be read (here).
I shall quote [...]
Living In A Summer Wonderland
Friday, 22 February, 2008
Ok let me get this straight…in the next few years (including this year), we’ll be getting or we’ve already got:
A spanking new Terminal 3 airport which just opened last month.
A nine-storey high 140m-long, 4m-wide suspension bridge linking Mount Faber Park and Telok Blangah Hill Park, Singapore’s highest pedestrian bridge, completed recently.
A brand new giant observation wheel (our [...]
Notating Is Hard Work
Thursday, 21 February, 2008
(Nice shot of a good-looking Bb chord)
A few days back I wrote that I recently purchased Sibelius 5.
I just realised that notating music, especially piano parts, is EXTREMELY hard work.
Being able to play it is one thing, but once you actually sit down and seriously notate every note and rest and accidental, you’d start to [...]
No 72 Wins For The Celtics
Thursday, 21 February, 2008
Phew.
At least now we know this season’s Celtics will never break the 1995-96 Bulls’ season record of 72-10.
The way they were going the first few weeks, I seriously thought they would!
Now we know how great Jordan’s Bulls were back then.
A Reminiscence
Wednesday, 20 February, 2008
Last night I had one of those singular dreams whereby I suddenly remembered a dear classmate of mine waaay back in primary school.
I had totally forgotten about her for the longest time until my dream last night.
I spent today searching for her on Facebook, but to no avail. Facebook can only do so much sometimes.
Sometimes [...]
Songwright - A Blog On Songwriting
Tuesday, 19 February, 2008
I’m very flattered to have recently been linked not once, but twice on a songwriting blog named Songwright.
The two songwriting articles in question are “Songwriting is about solving problems” and “Chromatic chords - A few options”.
I thought I’d mention this and also take the opportunity to introduce this wonderful blog named “Songwright” to everyone.
Songwright is [...]
