I recently caught this year’s installment of W!ld Rice’s annual year-end pantomime “Beauty and the Beast”, currently showing at the Drama Centre Theatre till 19th December and starring the likes of Karen Tan, Emma Yong, Chua Enlai and Lim Kay Siu. I shan’t write an overly lengthy post on this, so let me just try [...]

To Write A Musical (Part One)
Monday, 30 November, 2009
I guess everyone has their own list of “Things To Do Before I Die”. I was thrilled to clear one of the items off my list earlier this year…and that was to actually touch a Steinway concert grand (see here). That was great. The next thing I want to do is related to musicals. I [...]
Two Songs
Saturday, 28 November, 2009
Here are my two songs which I presented at the Songcraft concert last Saturday. Many thanks to Betty for helping me sing them. She was fantastic as always, and I’m deeply appreciative. And many thanks to Jerron for painstakingly editing and slicing up all the individual clips. Personally, I was not too pleased with some [...]
Up
Saturday, 28 November, 2009
So I decided to buy the “Up” DVD tonight and I watched the whole thing through. I’d heard so many good things about it. Everyone I asked said it was excellent, and Rotten Tomatoes currently gives it a 98%(!), so it’s gotta be something. I thought it was excellent, as advertised. Definitely one of Pixar’s [...]
A.I. Retires
Thursday, 26 November, 2009
So one of the great players of the last 14 years has decided to call it quits. Whether he really means it or not, we dunno. But I’ll always remember Allen Iverson for one thing – his incredible performance against the mighty Lakers in Game One of the ’01 Finals. That will always be one [...]
A Review Of “Lost In Transit”
Tuesday, 24 November, 2009
(Poster courtesy of Desmond Moey) Because I was rather busy the last few days, I hadn’t been able to find the time to sit down and pen my thoughts on “Lost in Transit”, the musical presented by Musical Theatre Limited which is written by Stella Kon and Gavin Low, with lyrics by Stella and music [...]
Songcraft’s 3rd Annual Concert!
Saturday, 21 November, 2009
Event: Songcraft Mini-Concert ’09 “Originally Yours” Date: 21st Nov ’09 Time: 730pm-930pm Venue: Play Den@Arts House What can I say? Another annual Songcraft concert (our 3rd one so far), another highly-memorable event. Now I am quite an easily-satisfied person, but in all honesty…I really felt that everything went PERFECT tonight. And I really want to [...]
Concert
Friday, 20 November, 2009
Tomorrow’s the 3rd annual Songcraft concert. Everyone’s pumped up for it, which is very encouraging. It makes all the preparations seem worth it. I’m really pumped up for the concert too, cos this is the first time we’re holding it in a slightly more posh venue, so I’m really excited to see how things turns [...]

I will be attending the “Lost In Transit” musical which will be staged at The Hall @ The Arts House until this Sunday. It’s presented by the folks from Musical Theatre Limited, and the book is by Stella Kon and Gavin Low, the lyrics are by Stella Kon, and the music is by Desmond Moey. [...]
Senna-Prost? Let’s Not Go There…
Thursday, 19 November, 2009
I chanced upon a Guardian article (here) which drew parallels between the upcoming Hamilton-Button pairing with another legendary pairing. “Senna-Prost”? C’mon, let’s not go there. I think we’re kinda getting ahead of ourselves here. This is nothing like Senna-Prost. p.s. Anyway, I really like how everyone’s talking about the Hamilton-Button pairing, but as for the [...]
