Oh Deer!
Friday, 30 July, 2010

Ok this is pure comedy gold right here folks. “Six deer escape from Night Safari” Article (here). When I read this my mind just went spinning round and round thinking of the comedic possibilities. Now if I were someone who likes to create spoofs and satires, which obviously I’m not (*wink*), I would come up [...]

A Gift Of Song
Wednesday, 28 July, 2010

Finally managed to get the piece recorded. This is the piece I had been working on the last two weeks for a dear friend who had specially requested that I compose it for. Recorded this in one hour flat at a studio which had a Yamaha C7 grand. Cool place! And not that expensive too. [...]

A Glorified Cover Artist?
Monday, 26 July, 2010

I don’t know a whole lot about Olivia Ong, but I recently joined her Facebook page so at least that’s a start. But seriously, what I know is this: She’s Singaporean, she’s spent time in Japan, she’s fairly young, she’s beautiful, and she’s got a great voice especially suited for sentimental, light jazz and even [...]

Farce
Monday, 26 July, 2010

One word to sum up my thoughts on Hockenheim yesterday – farce. If this isn’t a blatant display of team orders, then I don’t know what is. I’m surprised Ferrari didn’t have the brains to at least make it look less obvious. I am thoroughly disappointed to see Massa being denied his first victory since [...]

Congrats!
Monday, 26 July, 2010

Whenever this blog starts to get an inexplicable surge of hits from readers searching for terms such as “sumiko tan” and “sumiko wedding” and “sumiko tan hurricane”, you know something must have been written about them in the papers recently. I haven’t seen today’s papers yet so I don’t know what has been written. But [...]

Similarities
Sunday, 25 July, 2010

Watching Michael Schumacher struggling to keep up with his teammate Rosberg is like watching Lance Armstrong struggling to keep up with the sharp end of the pack in the Tour de France. The similarities are there. Both are 7-times champions (Schumacher in terms of F1 world titles, Armstrong in terms of TDF general classification wins). [...]

Stuff
Friday, 23 July, 2010

A good friend of mine asked me how this year has been thus far, and I said it was great. I know I foolishly said I wanted to work on a little musical this year, and up till now I haven’t really started on it. That’s cos I’ve been busy with some other stuff that [...]

Le Tour
Thursday, 22 July, 2010

This year I hadn’t been following the Tour de France as closely as I did last year, partly cos Lance Armstrong was out of contention right from the early stages due to some unfortunate turn of events. However, a few days ago I was highly fortunate to tune in at the right moment and I [...]

An Intense Storm
Wednesday, 21 July, 2010

This is breaking news so I thought I’d better post my thoughts on it. Do a simple search and you’d find that the Ministry of Environment has recently released a statement saying that their investigations have found that the Orchard Road flooding was caused by “an intense storm…”. Now this is important stuff which we [...]

It Has To Feel Right
Tuesday, 20 July, 2010

Recently I was asked to compose a piece of music for a dear friend. I was thrilled to do so, of course, because this friend was dear to me and I wanted to do a very good job out of it. I decided to write a song (i.e. with lyrics), and I wrote out a [...]
