A few weeks back I was at the Esplanade to catch a musical. On my way out of the theatre, as I walked through the Esplanade’s underground carpark to get to my car, I noticed two building security personnel in earnest discussion with a well-dressed and evidently well-heeled couple. The four of them were huddled [...]

When Dreams Came True
Monday, 24 November, 2008
The last week was so hectic for me that I’ve now officially fallen ill. But ultimately, last Saturday night’s concert was simply one of the best memories of my life. It’s so heartening to hear that the concert meant so much to so many people. For some of us (myself included), it was the fulfillment [...]
Perfect!
Sunday, 23 November, 2008
Tonight’s 2nd annual Songcraft mini-concert was simply perfect! Sometimes I need to pinch myself to see if all this is real. Everything seems to go so perfectly when it comes to Songcraft. I truly want to thank God for blessing this wonderful little group since its inception. It is truly an immense joy to know [...]
“Hooked” On Film Scores
Sunday, 16 November, 2008
My current obsession is with film scores. Have been reading up on a number of books on the subject lately, as well as perusing the works of John Williams, Alan Silvestri, Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt. I think film scoring is such a fascinating genre of music and there is such a wealth of material [...]
Atlanta Teams Looking Good
Friday, 14 November, 2008
It’s a good time to be a sports fan in Atlanta. The Falcons are looking good with rookie Matt Ryan at the helm, and the Hawks are surprisingly very good this season! (Not that they weren’t last season. They had started to show promising signs last season, but they were a very young team then.) [...]
Catching Tunes
Wednesday, 12 November, 2008
Somehow tunes tend to come to me when i) I’m out running, or ii) I’m lying in bed late at night trying to go to sleep. I guess it has to do with the fact that I’m all alone with my own thoughts, with nothing whatsoever to distract me…and that is when I am able [...]
青春123
Wednesday, 12 November, 2008
One reason why I love music so much is because it has the power to bring back fond memories from long long ago. This has to be one of the greatest TCS (last time known as SBC) television themes ever! The person who wrote this song was most definitely a genius. I only remember bits [...]
Sing To The Dawn…Painful!
Monday, 10 November, 2008
I once mentioned that while we should always give local productions a chance, we should not evaluate them on a less stringent criteria just because they are “local”. There is a difference between supporting local productions and being unfairly lenient to them just because they carry the “local” tag. I really don’t see why local [...]
Avenue Q – Sesame Street Meets South Park
Saturday, 8 November, 2008
Yup, I think that’s the best way to describe it. The puppets closely resemble Sesame Street in appearance and demeanour, but the humour is definitely of the South Park variety. I thought the lyrics were incredibly witty (well, you wouldn’t expect anything less from a Tony award-winning musical would you?), and the music was highly [...]
Renault Retains Alonso And Piquet Jr?!?
Thursday, 6 November, 2008
Huh?!? Talk about an anti-climatic decision! Well, I guess Alonso had nowhere else to go, really. There was talk that he might have gone to Ferrari, BMW, or Honda…but he stayed put in the end. Let’s hope the Renault continues to improve the way it did at the latter part of this season. It started [...]
