Heard about the sad passing of Patrick Swayze recently. This is indeed a tragic year as we’ve heard about the passing of many well-known people such as Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Ted Kennedy, Walter Cronkite, Arturo Gatti, Vernon Forrest, Steve McNair, etc. On another note, I was recently introduced to a song sung by Patrick [...]

No. Way.
Wednesday, 16 September, 2009
A few days back I wrote (here) on how I felt that there was absolutely no way in which Renault fixed the Singapore GP race last year by setting up Piquet to make a deliberate crash. It was just unthinkable. Unimaginable. Inconceivable. But guess what? Formula 1 never fails to sink to new lows. The [...]
50 Things That Are Being Killed By The Internet
Wednesday, 16 September, 2009
Now and then you come across some really good articles and I thought I’d share this one. Article (here). Some that I really liked: 3) Listening to an album all the way through Who does this nowadays? It’s truly a lost art. I used to do it with cassette tapes (cos you couldn’t just select [...]
Shock
Wednesday, 16 September, 2009
I am still in shock over the news that Federer actually lost to Del Potro in the finals of the US Open, thus missing out on the chance of a historic six-in-a-row at the US Open. Definitely one of the more shocking sports results for me in recent memory. I didn’t watch the match cos [...]
Defining Shot
Monday, 14 September, 2009
Every great athlete has a defining moment, the moment of magic that they’re best remembered by when all is said and done. For Jordan, there were many…there was “the shot” against Cleveland in the ’89 playoffs, or “the layup” against the Lakers in the ’91 Finals, or the jump shot over Russell in the ’98 [...]
Good Week
Monday, 14 September, 2009
The last one week has been a pretty good week for a number of reasons. In some ways it was definitely a week of tranquility, which I’m really thankful for. Have been rediscovering some old songs so I’m quite pleased about that. For the last two Sundays, I’ve been helping teach the kids in church [...]
Michael Jordan – Hall Of Fame
Sunday, 13 September, 2009
A very emotional day as the greatest player ever to play basketball is inducted into the basketball Hall of Fame. Apparently they had to move the induction to a larger hall than most other years simply because this was the year that Michael Jordan was going to be inducted. What I really liked most was [...]
Magic Is Relevant Once Again
Saturday, 12 September, 2009
I have always loved magic ever since I was a little kid, and have spent my fair share of time over the years delving into this most fascinating of art forms. Well, I just read that Derren Brown recently made big news in the UK by successfully predicting the results of the £2.4 million national [...]
“Look What Love Has Done” By Patty Smyth
Friday, 11 September, 2009
One of my favourite songs ever. I know I’m often given to superlatives especially when it comes to music, but if ever there was a “perfect song” in my mind, this would come very close to it. Love her voice, love the “feel” of the song, love the piano arrangement…especially the solo! One of my [...]
Quotes On Federer
Thursday, 10 September, 2009
Some great quotes on Federer I read in the news today: “I don’t think, that you can always – you can ever – get your game to perfection, you know. Only if you’re Federer.” – Novak Djokovic “It would have been a crime had he (Federer) not ever won in Paris. He’s been the second [...]
