I heard this great line from a podcast recently about God being our faithful friend. And the line went – If God seems so far away, guess who moved? I thought it was an awesome line.

Dream Finals
Thursday, 28 May, 2009
Let’s talk a bit about dream finals. So UEFA got its dream Champions League finals match-up between Manchester United and Barcelona last night. Whether it was a “cleverly engineered” move or not (remember the dubious officiating between Chelsea-Barcelona?), the fact remain that this is probably one of the more memorable Champions League final in many [...]
Good Times
Thursday, 28 May, 2009
Yesterday was our first get-together practice session with the entire ensemble, with the great Iskandar Ismail conducting and all the musicians and singers involved. Had a wonderful time meeting the musicians and playing with the percussionists, cellists, violinists, brass players, etc. Rigorous, but fun. Lots more rehearsal sessions ahead…but I’ll be looking forward to every [...]
“The Definitive Guide To Singapore Weddings”
Monday, 25 May, 2009
I’ve been telling my friends this for quite awhile now – I think someone should actually write a comprehensive guidebook on weddings in Singapore. As in, really do some research into all the little wedding customs and idiosyncracies that we’ve come to develop over the years here in Singapore. There is just so much information [...]
Button ’09 = Schumacher ’04
Monday, 25 May, 2009
Uh-oh…this season is starting to look like 2004. Basically, Button in 2009 = Schumacher in 2004. At the rate things are going, I’m not surprised if Button ends up winning at least 10 of the 17 races this season (Schumi won 13 of the 18 races in ’04). Who knows, he might even wrap up [...]
Kobe And LeBron
Monday, 25 May, 2009
I believe that this season is the tipping point. I’ve been doing lots of reading up, been listening to all the podcasts, etc…and I think it’s worth spending some time writing about the whole Kobe vs LeBron thing, especially this season. I seriously think that this is the year that LeBron officially moves past Kobe [...]
NBA Playoffs
Friday, 22 May, 2009
Gotta love the NBA. The action is fantastic, and it’s amazing how quickly opinion sways from one way to the other. Take the Lakers-Rockets series for example: One moment the Rockets are supposedly done (after losing Yao Ming), and the next thing you know, they’re playing the Lakers in a Game 7. And at the [...]
Well Done Girls!
Wednesday, 20 May, 2009
I was very pleased to read the news this morning: “Singapore’s all-women team successfully summit Mt Everest” To quote from the article: “Lee Li Hui, 27, Esther Tan, 26, and Jane Lee, 25, stepped on the top of the world at 3.45am, 3.54am and 4.43am Wednesday Nepal time respectively, making the team the first Singaporean [...]
Post-Trip Thoughts 5: London
Tuesday, 19 May, 2009
(Yes, I know…my trip was half a year ago, but who cares right? It’s never too late to do some post-trip reflection. I had lots of fond memories.) If anyone were to ask me to name my favourite city in the world right now, I’d tell them that the top three contenders would be London, [...]
Getting Hooked On S Factor
Monday, 18 May, 2009
I can’t believe it either, but I’m starting to get seriously hooked on “S Factor”. I caught last night’s episode and it they had to eliminate one from the remaining 3 contestants – Kay Kay, Sonia and Sherine. (Sherine got eliminated in the end.) So now it’s down to the final two girls – Kay Kay [...]
