I almost choked on my dinner when I read this in today’s Straits Times. The article “Admirer I Rejected Is Heading SMC’s Second Panel” can be found (here). I guess the gloves are truly off now. I’m referring, of course, to the infamous Susan Lim saga which undoubtedly drew plenty of attention ever since it [...]

In Their Own Words
Monday, 28 March, 2011
Yes, I’m still very interested in songwriting and have been rather heavily involved in songwriting this year. It’s still a huge passion of mine. Anyway, I recently borrowed a book from the library called “In Their Own Words” by Bill DeMain. It’s a collection of interviews with renown songwriters such as Billy Joel, David Bowie, [...]
2011 Season – Same Old, Same Old
Sunday, 27 March, 2011
Watching the Melbourne GP today is like the same ominous feeling you get on your first day of school, finding out that your new form teacher is the nightmare that you’ve always wanted to avoid. In other words, you’re like “Uh-oh, looks like we’re in for a very long season!” I’m referring to the sheer [...]

Event: The Lion King Venue: Sands Theater at Marina Bay Sands Run: 3rd Mar – 31st May 2011 A Spectacular Beyond Words For all the supposed failings of Julie Taymor as director of the beleaguered Spider-man musical, one can never take away from her her crowning achievement that is the Disney musical “The Lion King”, [...]
“Samantha” From Holland Village…Can You Say Fake?
Saturday, 26 March, 2011
I guess this saga needs no further introduction, now that it has made its way to the front page of today’s New Paper. Not to mention the various postings on Facebook, Twitter, blogs and all that. If you like you can listen to the actual on-air recording (here). I have just 2 points to make. [...]
Start Your Engines!
Friday, 25 March, 2011
The 2011 Formula 1 season officially begins today! There is meaning to life once again. Two words and two words only: Go Schumi!!! If Schumacher gets a podium in Melbourne, I’m dropping everything to go up to Sepang in April no matter what. … p.s. I’ll say this once and for all – every F1 [...]
Guilty Pleasures
Wednesday, 23 March, 2011
Tonight I decided to pen down a proper list of my favourite restaurant dishes all over Singapore. Y’know, the special stuff that you always look forward to eating, and that brightens the rest of your day thereafter. I’m sure you have your own personal favourites too. Everyone does. I’m the kind of person that always [...]
Top 5 Most Awkward Facebook Status Scenarios
Monday, 21 March, 2011
If you’re on Facebook often enough (that means almost everybody), you’ll probably come across some awkward virtual scenarios. Anyway, just to digress a little…I realised that there are two truths to Facebook: a) The number of people who take notice of your statuses and various postings is always much higher than you think. Never underestimate [...]
UFC 128: Jon Jones
Sunday, 20 March, 2011
I never thought we’d see someone more scary than Anderson Silva, but apparently he comes in the form of Jon Jones. It was painful watching Shogun get utterly demolished. Name me the last time you saw a reigning UFC champion get smashed to pieces like that. Jon Jones has arrived.
The Godfather
Sunday, 20 March, 2011
Sometimes in life there are some things (such as films) which people constantly make reference to, and after awhile you tell yourself that if you don’t get down to watching it one day, you’ll always be left out in the cold whenever a reference pops up. For example, the film “The Godfather”. Widely regarded as [...]
