One of my favourite 80′s rock ballads ever is this number from Skid Row. Close to twenty years on, this song still sounds as fresh as ever. Great songs never die.

Small Is Beautiful.
Sunday, 31 August, 2008
For our latest Songcraft session, the turnout was rather small. Well, definitely much smaller if you compare it with our previous session. But I was suddenly reminded that small is beautiful. And I had a great time last night.
Are You Going To The S’pore GP?
Thursday, 28 August, 2008
First things first – it still gives me a surreal feeling whenever I pen down the words “Singapore GP” in my personal organiser. We seem to forget this, but 10 years ago, the idea of hosting a Formula 1 grand prix in Singapore was as alien as anything you could ever imagine. I still remember [...]
Kingdom Fish
Thursday, 28 August, 2008
I’ve been having lots of dream-filled sleep the last few nights (which to me is a sign of a good night’s rest). Last night I had a very good sleep, and for some particular reason I seem to remember this phrase and this phrase alone: “Kingdom Fish” Weird, I know.
Did Phelps Really Win 8 Golds? Are You Sure?
Wednesday, 27 August, 2008
Everyone loves a good conspiracy theory. Especially one which gains a lot of traction. The question for today is this: Did Phelps really win the 100m Fly? Are you sure? Were you the lane judge? Or did you just rely on what the Omega timing devices displayed? Cos it sure seemed to a lot of [...]

…43 world records broken at the Beijing Olympics. 25 of them came from swimming. That’s 58.2%. Go figure!
Best Sporting Nation? Starts With “S”…
Monday, 25 August, 2008
In my opinion, the best sporting nation in the world starts with the letter “S”. It has the following: Best national football team in Europe Winner of the 2008 Tour De France Number 1 tennis player in the world Best men’s basketball team in the Olympics (after the USA) Best driver in Formula 1 (in [...]
Heroes And Zeroes Of Beijing 2008
Monday, 25 August, 2008
Firstly, having watched most of the swimming events, I’ll have to say this: World swimming has reached a state whereby you almost need a WR swim in every final in order to be assured of the gold medal. Seriously, it’s that scary nowadays. The timings are just ridiculous. The 100m Breaststroke is now below 59s. [...]
Olympic Swimming Day 1
Sunday, 10 August, 2008
There is so much I would like to write about, but since I’ve got another two solid weeks of reservist to go, I guess I’ll just have to be real brief. It’s a pity that I will have to miss the entire swimming programme of this year’s Olympics. I watched the first morning of Olympic [...]
