You know there’s something wrong with a sport when every single F1 fan on Twitter prays for rain before and during the race. But that’s F1 for you. As always, Spa Francorchamps never disappoints, though I did wish that the heavy rain would have arrived earlier. While we may never see drama the likes of [...]

C’mon Singaporeans…Date For Goodness Sake!
Monday, 30 August, 2010
I recently read that the government, through MCYS, is launching a campaign to “promote dating among its notoriously love-shy singles.” Article (here). To quote: “The Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) issued a tender this month through the government’s official procurement website calling for proposals on how to encourage singles to date…No details [...]

You can read the full review (here). Event: Chestnuts 3-D: Fried Monty aka A Nightmare on Glee Street Venue: Jubilee Hall Run: 25th Aug – 4th Sept 2010 I have never caught the “Chestnuts” series before, so it was with great anticipation that I entered the Jubilee Hall tonight.

5 Burning Questions On The YOG
Friday, 27 August, 2010
Now that the YOG has ended, I’ve just got 5 burning questions: 1) Was the $387 million truly money well spent? 2) Did anyone get fined $130 for blocking the YOG buses? 3) Just how much did school students (and teachers) have to sacrifice for the YOG? 4) Just how many YOG tickets did they [...]
Theatre Review Blog
Thursday, 26 August, 2010
I’ve decided to start a little theatre reviews blog with a friend of mine. It’s called “Buttons in the Bread” (here). I figured since we catch quite a fair number of local productions between us every year, it would be nice to document all our thoughts and reviews nicely in one neat little blog. Who [...]
Review: Fried Rice Paradise
Thursday, 26 August, 2010
You can read the full review (here). Event: Fried Rice Paradise Venue: Esplanade Theatre Run: 20th Aug – 12th Sept 2010 I was very much looking forward to this one, as this is a brand new Dick Lee musical after all. (The name “Fried Rice Paradise” may be old, but story and songs are brand [...]
The Armless Pianist
Tuesday, 24 August, 2010
I heard about this recent viral video so I had to check it out. It’s one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. The moment I heard the opening bars, I was like “You have got to be kidding me!!!” This is completely different from the Susan Boyle case. She was a very good [...]
Fried Rice Paradise
Monday, 23 August, 2010
I am rather excited about catching “Fried Rice Paradise” the musical this week. Original made-in-Singapore book musicals of this magnitude are few and far between, and I am really looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. Most of the reviews I’ve read so far have been generally quite kind. The cast and creative [...]
Rivalries
Sunday, 22 August, 2010
If you’re a sports fan (like myself), you’d probably appreciate that rivalries can be one of the most fascinating things in sports. In my limited knowledge, there are rivalries where, sadly, one of the two is quite likely on the decline. For example: – Nadal vs Federer – LeBron/Durant vs Kobe There are rivalries where [...]
Twitter Search
Saturday, 21 August, 2010
During reservist my friend introduced me to the wonderful world of Twitter Search. It’s the most amazing thing. There’s nothing quite like it on the internet, because the one beauty of Twitter Search is the ability to search for the latest and most up-to-date tweets. The only other thing that comes close is your friends’ [...]
