F1 Thoughts Thus Far
Monday, 15 September, 2008
Four more races and it looks like it’s going down to the wire, just like last year. Just that this year it’s mainly a two-horse battle between Lewis and Massa. – I’ve gotta say Massa proved a lot of doubters wrong this year with a number of impressive drives. As for Kimi…what can you say? [...]
Let’s Give It Up For Our Paralympians
Monday, 15 September, 2008
Swimmer Yip Pin Xiu won a gold medal for Singapore in the 50m Backstroke at the Beijing Paralympics. She also won a silver medal in the 50m Freestyle a few days earlier, as well as set a new WR in the heats of that same event. In equestrian, our rider Laurentia Tan won two bronzes. [...]
“Free Size”
Friday, 12 September, 2008
There are a lot of funny concepts in life, but one of the funniest has to be the concept of “free size” t-shirts. This concept has bugged me for a the longest time, and even though I have constantly asked my family what this “free size” concept actually means, I am usually brushed off with [...]
“GOP” Stands For…?
Friday, 12 September, 2008
Since the US presidential election campaign is well under way, I’m sure you’ve encountered the term “GOP” countless times when reading about McCain or any other Republican politicians. Basically “GOP” is a term which refers to the Republican party. But what do the letters G.O.P. really stand for? I’ve always wondered. Go do a search. The [...]
Review Of Jason Mraz’s “We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things”
Wednesday, 10 September, 2008
I’m a huge, huge admirer of Jason Mraz’s talent. I think he’s one of the most gifted, unique and refreshing musicians to have emerged in the last decade or so. He’s got an amazing voice coupled with otherworldly songwriting skills. Hence I was excited to have been able to purchase his new album “We Sing, [...]
Have You Tried Google Chrome Yet?
Monday, 8 September, 2008
Due to all the hype, I had to try it. Google Chrome, it’s called. And I was blown away. It’s incredibly fast! It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty darn impressive. You see folks, Google gets it. Most of the time. They got it with search, they got it with mail, they got it with maps. [...]
What A Weekend
Monday, 8 September, 2008
This was quite a weekend in sports. First, the latest shocking news: Tom Brady looks likely to be out for the season. Shocker of shockers! Then you had last night’s Spa GP, quite simply the most intriguing race of the season yet: Lewis spinning after the first lap, Kimi snatching the lead, Lewis hanging in [...]
This Ain’t Right
Monday, 8 September, 2008
Firstly, I’m by no means a fan of Lewis Hamilton…but this is ridiculous. To me, Lewis won it on the track fair and square. Yes, it was quite a scrap, and Lewis was ruthless when he needed to be, but that’s what makes a champion, doesn’t it? Let’s just give the man the race win [...]
Poor Kimi
Sunday, 7 September, 2008
Today I feel so sad for Kimi. I mean, he’s not exactly my favourite driver, but then again there’s absolutely no reason not to love this bloke. And sometimes you wonder how much worse luck a driver can get. A victory at Spa would have been the perfect result for him, after what he has [...]
