Tonight’s Songcraft session was unexpectedly fantastic. I mean, it was much better than I has expected it to be. Which is always good. The turnout was great, and the songs were great too. Personally, I had two brand new songs to share, and I really enjoyed the experience. I think one gains so much more [...]

“Tisk Tisk”!
Thursday, 23 October, 2008
Ah, life’s little joys. I always find it amusing whenever I hear people say “tisk tisk”. (Y’know, as in, from the written expression “tsk tsk”.) I don’t mean this in the condescending sense…but really, I’m geniunely very tickled when I hear people try to add in the “i” vowel so as to be able to [...]
“Were” Or “Was”?
Wednesday, 22 October, 2008
Since wordpress has recently added a “poll” function, what better way to start using it than to take a survey on this English question that is currently baffling me: Do you say - 1) “I’m wishing I were back home now.” or 2) “I’m wishing I was back home now.” (Personally, I would go for [...]
Just Go Already
Wednesday, 22 October, 2008
(Photo from Wikipedia) I’m not sure if you remember, but some time in the middle of last year there was a huge (and I mean huge) farewell for our National Stadium. This was so long ago I can’t really remember the details already…but according to Wikipedia: “On 30 June 2007, a closing ceremony titled Field [...]
Sing To The Dawn (The Movie)
Tuesday, 21 October, 2008
The movie “Sing to the Dawn” opens in cinemas 30th October, and I am looking forward to it. (Trailer and screenshots can be found on the official movie website (here).) I’ve been hearing and reading about this movie for the longest time, but only now is it finally being released in our theatres. According to [...]

…writing a typical listen-once-and-throw-away song on guitar for this Friday’s Songcraft session. I realised I haven’t presented any new songs for the last two sessions (cos I’ve been busy writing stuff for church), hence I feel I really need to present something for this Friday. So far tonight, it’s coming along well. I managed to [...]
Theirs To Lose
Sunday, 19 October, 2008
Before tomorrow’s race, let me just say this: The championship is Lewis’s to lose. Will he choke the way he did last year? I don’t think so, but we can never be sure. But at the moment, it’s looking quite unlikely that Lewis will lose the title to Massa this year. In the same way, [...]
Remembering Through Song
Friday, 17 October, 2008
Personally, I think one great way to help children remember bible verses is to teach them through song. Not to say bible classes and memorizing memory verses are not important. They are definitely very important. But one thing I’ve discovered is that children can remember a song they’ve learnt for many many years. You’d be [...]

“Hear” The Music
Thursday, 16 October, 2008
Photo (“Music Man”) by chelseajg How does an artist paint a picture? Well, first I believe he decides what subject he wants to paint. Then he’ll start to conceive the entire painting in his mind, and think about aspects such as perspective, composition, colour and perhaps brush techniques. In other words, the artist has the [...]
