TV Drama Series Devices Lesson 1: “I Overheard You”
Thursday, 28 October, 2010
In television series, there are always a number of popular devices being used to spice up the dramatic quotient, as well as move the story forward. I hesitate to use the word “cliches’…I think “devices” is a much nicer word. Over the course of time, I may slowly share more of these devices, but for [...]
Comparisons
Wednesday, 27 October, 2010
If your American friends have problems understanding the situation Liverpool FC is in right now, just tell them “refer to Dallas Cowboys”. If your British friends have problems understanding the situation the Dallas Cowboys are in right now, just tell them “refer to Liverpool FC”.
I Am Now A K-Drama Convert
Tuesday, 26 October, 2010
On the flight back from China I decided to give “Knight and Day” a shot, because my sister sitting next to me tells me it’s a great movie. After watching the entire film I realised that I had been utterly duped. But it was on hindsight that I learnt that one can never trust the [...]
Random F1 Thoughts
Monday, 25 October, 2010
Someone made a comment that if Fernando Alonso or Lewis Hamilton were in a Red Bull this season, the championship would have been long sewn up by now. I would have to agree. The problem with Red Bull is that they have been shooting themselves in the foot time and time again. It could be [...]

Bear Video A Hoax
Thursday, 14 October, 2010
So the Ulu Pandan bear stunt turned out to be a hoax. Turns out the “bear” was actually “a mascot that was part of a guerilla advertising campaign, commissioned by Philips Electronics Singapore, to launch a new shaver.” Ok granted, this is the age of social media and this is not the first time we’ve seen [...]
“How Can I Not Love You” By Joy Enriquez
Wednesday, 13 October, 2010
I heard this song being played at a supermarket recently, and I immediately whipped out my phone to jot down parts of its lyrics. It’s a beautiful song, one which I believe I had vaguely heard before but was never really conscious of the fact that I knew it. I think the most under-appreciated thing [...]

Sunday, 10 October, 2010
Event: “Metamorphoses” by COLLAB Theatre Ensemble Venue: Substation Theatre Run: 7th Oct – 10th Oct 2010 The first thing that greets you as you enter the Substation Theatre would be the fairly large round pool (yes, a pool filled with water) that has been installed right smack in the centre of the stage. This would [...]
No Agendas
Friday, 8 October, 2010
I was just sharing this with a good friend of mine a few days back: How do you tell between a true friend and a not-so-true friend? Well, whenever a not-so-true friend contacts you out of the blue, he always has an agenda. In other words, he wants something from you. A true friend is [...]
