So many things to blog about this weekend, where to start? Well, nothing pleased me more this weekend than seeing Roger Federer win the Aussie Open. Murray was never going to seriously rattle the great Roger, in my opinion. Fed’s playing with absolutely no pressure, now that he’s passed Sampras for career Grand Slams. Which [...]

$3 Million?
Friday, 29 January, 2010
Recently, I was having a nice conversation with an accomplished local writer and we were talking at length about the state of musical theatre in Singapore, and at some point “Phua Chu Kang – The Musical” was brought up…which was something I had completely forgotten about. Well, I went home that night to do some [...]
“Just So” The Musical
Thursday, 28 January, 2010
Event: Just So (as part of SMU’s 10th Arts Festival) Venue: Victoria Theatre Run: 22nd Jan – 23rd Jan 2010 I recently attended the musical “Just So”, staged at the Victoria Theatre by the students from SMU as part of the school’s 10th Arts Festival 2010.

Two Recent Sports Comparisons
Thursday, 28 January, 2010
1) Rafael Nadal ~ Allen Iverson You could say their playing styles are quite similar, in that they tend to fling their bodies around and put tremendous strain on their physical conditioning. You knew that their careers (or at least their ability to play at an elite level) were always going to be short-lived, simply [...]
4D Prediction Results Are Out! (But With A Twist)
Thursday, 28 January, 2010
Remember I wrote last week (here) about J C Sum and “Magic Babe” Ning’s bold attempt at predicting this week’s 4D results? Well, the results were finally revealed tonight. See AsiaOne article (here). Well guess what…they were correct! It’s 5853! Kudos to them! Score another one for our local magicians. But remember I mentioned my [...]
The Death Knells Of Datehood
Tuesday, 26 January, 2010
My friend recently posted a blog post (here) whereby he quoted from someone else’s blog post which was written in 2007 (here), which quoted from a Her World article written in 2005. Go figure. Anyway, the title of the magazine article was “Some men are too cheap for words”, and you can read it in [...]
“Reo” or “Ah-Reo”?
Tuesday, 26 January, 2010
For those old fogeys like myself who have been around long enough to be familiar with the 80′s power ballad “Can’t Fight This Feeling”, you might have heard the band “REO Speedwagon” being mentioned before. And has it ever occurred to you why they always pronounce it as “Ah-Reo” instead of just “Reo”? I’m just [...]
Singapore Creeps?
Tuesday, 26 January, 2010
Chalk it up to another one of those potentially misread headlines. “Overall customer satisfaction in Singapore creeps up in 2009″
Resorts World
Monday, 25 January, 2010
Well, I’m kinda looking forward to visiting Resorts World soon, once the initial hoopla starts to die out. Not for the casino, but for the hotels and the restaurants and Universal Studios. It all seems very exciting really. I’ve seen some photos of RWS on blogs, and they look fantastic! (It’s amazing what you can [...]
How Are They Going To Pull It Off?
Friday, 22 January, 2010
I was doing some further research into the details of Derren Brown’s successful UK lottery “prediction”, and I was comparing it to the upcoming 4D prediction by our local magic duo J C Sum and “Magic Babe” Ning. Obviously you’ve got to credit Derren Brown for first coming up with the simple yet brilliant concept, [...]
