Say what you like about the guy, but Brett Favre is still one of the best QBs ever to play the game. This play against the 49ers is easily one of the top plays of the NFL season thus far. A game-winning TD pass on the very last play of the game…it doesn’t get any [...]

Mark Webber – Unrealised Potential Or Just Not Good Enough?
Monday, 28 September, 2009
Let me just round off the race weekend with a post on Mark Webber. I think I was watching qualifying or something, and the British commentator mentioned something about whether Mark Webber “has run out of talent” or something to that effect. I thought it was a brilliant way to put it. Webber has always [...]
Derniers Jours d’Anastasia Kemsky
Monday, 28 September, 2009
I once mentioned to a friend that there is a song out there for every moment and every mood. Well, I guess for now I’ll choose my favourite Richard Clayderman piece of all time. As always, it’s probably quite an obscure piece as compared to familiar hits such as “Ballade Pour Adeline” or “Souvenirs d’Enfance” [...]
Describe What Is Happening In The Video Below
Saturday, 26 September, 2009
(A scene from yesterday evening’s free practice session.) Choose one: a) Grosjean is emulating the heroic feat of his predecessor Nelsinho at the exact same corner as last year. b) Someone accidentally issued Grosjean the 2008 driver strategy instead of this year’s. c) Renault is practising hard for this Sunday’s race strategy.
Most Commonly Used Phrases In F1 Commentary
Friday, 25 September, 2009
If you watch enough Wimbledon tennis, you’d soon realise that the phrase you’d hear a thousand times per match is “A glorious pass!” Anyway, here are some of the more commonly heard phrases in F1, from my own experience: “…(he’s) driving the wheels off that car…” “…dives into the pitlane…” “…takes a look on the [...]
Winning Them Over (More On The S’pore Grand Prix)
Thursday, 24 September, 2009
Since our second S’pore grand prix is this weekend, I thought I’d dwell on this topic a bit more. I really enjoyed (this) article on CNA today. It’s about the winners of the “naming the turns of the S’pore circuit” contest held earlier this year. To quote (emphasis mine): “The 34-year-old won the big prize [...]
What To Expect At This Year’s Singapore Grand Prix
Wednesday, 23 September, 2009
Man, I can’t believe it’s been exactly one year since I took a walk along the Singapore F1 track in the days leading up to our inaugural grand prix last year. I must have explored at least one third of the track on foot in the sweltering humidity of the S’pore night air last year, [...]
Songwriting Is Fun Again
Tuesday, 22 September, 2009
I’m beginning to be reminded of the joys of songwriting once again the last couple of weeks. The feeling never gets old. I had a somewhat brief hiatus in the last few months because I was kinda distracted…but anyway, I have been involved in a handful of new songs the last few weeks, and it [...]
Bands Named After Places, Songs Named After Girls And Guys
Sunday, 20 September, 2009
I was thinking about this for the longest time…how many bands can I think of that are named after geographical places, e.g. cities, states, countries? Here goes: America (don’t know much about them) Boston (“Amanda”) Chicago (needs no introduction) Europe (“Carrie” and “The Final Countdown”) Kansas (“Dust in the Wind”) Texas (“Say What You Want”, [...]
Maybe There Is No Maybe
Saturday, 19 September, 2009
I was chatting with a friend the other day, and he came up with this classic line which I really really liked. I was just postulating some theories on certain things, going “maybe” this and “maybe” that, and he said: “Maybe there is no maybe.” Classic line. I’ll remember it for a long time.
