Melbourne GP
Tuesday, 31 March, 2009

So many thoughts, so little time. It’s great to sit in front of a TV and watch a grand prix once again.  I miss that feeling…though I gotta admit, the whole “feel” this year is completely different. (More on that later.) Jenson Button First things first – I’m very happy to see Jenson Button enjoying [...]

Service Standards (Or The Lack Of It)
Thursday, 26 March, 2009

Recently, I ordered something at a foodcourt stall which manned by a lady whom I was quite certain was from China. To cut the long story short, I was kinda wishy-washy about my order and while she was halfway through preparing my order, I wanted to add something onto the order…which made things slightly inconvenient [...]

Separated At Birth

Why does Chris Martin always remind me of Jenson Button, and vice versa?

Welcome To The 21st Century
Wednesday, 25 March, 2009

It’s amazing…you can easily find at least 50 videos on YouTube of Coldplay’s concert footage at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Monday. And this is just a conservative estimate. Welcome to the 21st century. And the YouTube age, of course. What you witness today might end up on YouTube tomorrow.

One Of The Most Underrated Bands Ever
Wednesday, 25 March, 2009

My latest Amazon shipment just arrived and one of the items was a “Outside Looking In: The Best of Gin Blossoms” CD. The Gin Blossoms were in my opinion one of the most underrated bands of the 90′s. I was a huge fan of theirs. They were the band I grew up with from late [...]

Coldplay…Brilliant!

Coldplay “The Viva La Vida Tour” Singapore Indoor Stadium 23rd March 2009  A Review I think I’ve only been to 3 major concerts in the last one year – Maroon 5, Jason Mraz and Coldplay. All of them were great in their own way, of course. Maroon 5 simply rocked the house (though there were [...]

One Mighty Canon Indeed
Tuesday, 24 March, 2009

While attending a church wedding over the weekend, I wondered: When Pachelbel composed “Canon in D”, did he ever imagine that he was actually composing what was to be the most oft-used wedding song in the history of human civilisation?

Weekend
Monday, 23 March, 2009

It was a very music-filled weekend for me, in more ways than one.  Quite a number of eventful things happened over the weekend – some very good, some very bad, some just plain weird. I guess sometimes in life you gotta just not let certain things affect you. I attended the grand wedding of a [...]

Questions, Questions
Friday, 20 March, 2009

The season starts in just over a week’s time and I’m licking my lips in anticipation already. I don’t think there has been a season in recent memory whereby the pecking order is so unclear just days before the season begins. Lingering questions: Is McLaren sandbagging?  (We can’t rule out the possibility, but I can’t [...]

And Lewis Hamilton Leads The Pack Through Singapore Sling…
Thursday, 19 March, 2009

Shucks. I guess I only got 1 entry correct when I whimsically predicted the winning names for 3 corners of our Singapore grand prix circuit (here). Basically they held a competition to name Turns 1, 7 and 10. I guessed that Turn 1 should be named “Sheares” corner, because it’s right under the Benjamin Sheares Bridge. [...]
