A few days back I wrote about the new MCYS ad which I felt was a subtle message for all of us to “lower our expectations” when it comes to finding a life partner. So anyway, there was yet another huge article on it (here) in today’s Life! section. Apparently, the ad kinda “borrowed” certain [...]

New Sensation
Tuesday, 21 April, 2009
You’ve got competition Susan, here comes new sensation Shaheen Jafargholi. I tell you, “Britain’s Got Talent” has gotta be ten times better than “American Idol” (even though we don’t get to watch it here). When was the last time “American Idol” was actually interesting anyway?
Songcraft Turns 2!
Sunday, 19 April, 2009
(Photo courtesy of B) Songcraft turned 2 last week, and I thought it’d be appropriate for me to share my thoughts: It was a great event at the Earshot Cafe, though it was a pity that a few of our regulars couldn’t join us that night. Anyhow, the entire night went great and I have [...]
Susan Boyle
Sunday, 19 April, 2009
Much has been said and written about Susan Boyle so I shan’t repeat it. I really only want to say two things: Firstly, I think she’s been a godsend for the producers of “Britain’s Got Talent”. Can you imagine the ratings for the rest of the season as long as she’s in the show? It [...]

NBA Wow. So the Bulls steal Game 1 from the Celtics at the Garden. Talk about making a statement! Anyway, without KG the Celtics can’t realistically think of making it to the NBA Finals. Not this year. In fact, it would be quite amazing if they could even get to the Eastern Conference Finals. But [...]
Frustrating
Friday, 17 April, 2009
There are a lot of song mp3s which I would dearly love to buy, but I don’t know how to. For example, “The Search Is Over” by Survivor. And some even more obscure songs than that. Two of the biggest online mp3 stores I know of – the Apple iTunes music store and the Amazon [...]
“The Search Is Over” By Survivor
Friday, 17 April, 2009
One of my favouritest rock ballads. Yet more proof that some of the greatest rock ballads were written in the 80′s. The wikipedia background on the song (here) is quite interesting. (One point to note is that the song is extremely high. I don’t think you can find many other songs that reach a high [...]
Date Mate? Er…
Thursday, 16 April, 2009
So tonight as I was driving home, I happened to tune into to this highly interesting radio show on Class 95 hosted by Yaz called “Date Mate”. The concept is like this: If you fancy this girl, you ask Yaz to call this girl on your behalf on national radio and Yaz will ask this [...]
Post-Trip Thoughts 4: Old Trafford
Tuesday, 14 April, 2009
This was my view at Old Trafford during the Man U – Boro match on 29th December ’08. (I finally downloaded the pic from my handphone.) We were about ten metres from the touchline. Pretty good view if you asked me. This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences. I doubt I will ever get such [...]
Long Weekend
Monday, 13 April, 2009
It was an extremely exhausting long weekend, this being the Good Friday and Easter Sunday weekend. In fact it was so tiring that today I woke up with a really bad headache. I think I’m suffering from the after effects of a mentally-draining long weekend. Was very busy with both the Good Friday and Easter [...]
