Sometimes on Facebook you would come across those “see who’s checking out your profile” apps. My question is this – without having to actually install some silly app, can anyone tell me if these things really work? Has anyone ever really downloaded a “see who’s checking out your profile” app and actually had it work? [...]

Train Men To Do Chores
Monday, 29 March, 2010
Occasionally I would flip open the pages of the Straits Times. Not that I find it essential to do so, but you never know when you might chance upon the occasional amusing article. Yesterday’s Sunday Times had an interesting column by Chua Mui Hoong entitled “Train men to do chores”. Article (here). Her main thrust [...]
Purely Random Musings
Monday, 29 March, 2010
(This is a post of random musings that is designed to bore you by the time you reach the third paragraph or so.) It can be both rewarding and challenging playing through a Frederick Loewe score. I bumped into a copy of the full vocal score to “My Fair Lady” while I was in London [...]
Taken For A Ride?
Saturday, 27 March, 2010
There was considerable coverage today about the new official Youth Olympic Games theme song. It’s called “Everyone”, and it is written and produced by none other than our very own Ken Lim. It is sung by five singers, two of whom are Sean Kingston (yes, that Sean Kingston) and Tabitha Nauser from Singapore Idol. Now [...]
Funding And The Arts
Thursday, 25 March, 2010
There was a huge article in today’s Life! (here) about how the Singapore Film Commission (I never knew there was one) is now doubling its handouts from $250,000 per film to $500,000 per film to young deserving film-makers. Which I think is great, cos films are expensive to make, and our young aspiring film-makers need [...]
“Heartwarming” – The All-Powerful Adjective?
Wednesday, 24 March, 2010
Occasionally I would browse the SISTIC website and other arts listings to look out for interesting upcoming productions to watch. And over the years, I’ve noticed one particular adjective that keeps jumping out at me time and time again. I’m not sure if it’s just me, but is the term “heartwarming”, like, the most omnipotent [...]
Action Theatre’s “Makan Drama Festival”
Tuesday, 23 March, 2010
Not that I’m that frequent a theatre goer, but unique concepts tend to be few and far between, and I thought that Action Theatre’s idea for the “Makan Drama Festival” was a highly refreshing one. I thought it was ingenious. The idea is like this – there is a ticketed double bill of plays from [...]
What Exactly Is An Egg?
Monday, 22 March, 2010
In the world of 菜饭 terminology, what exactly is an egg classified as – is it considered a “veg” dish or a “meat” dish? Has anyone ever thought about this? I suppose all food can be classified as “veg” or “meat”…except an egg. If you say it’s a “veg”, then er…I have serious problems rationalising [...]
Forgive Straying Husbands: Yes Or No?
Saturday, 20 March, 2010
Just when it seems like the dust is settling over the Jack Neo case, here comes another one – the Jesse James story. So anyway, I guess I shan’t even attempt to argue the assertion that men have the propensity to stray. If any woman accuses men of being unfaithful and all that, I would [...]
Similarities

Is it just me or does the latest Citibank ad on radio sound a lot like a certain “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay?
