I’d never thought I’d ever say this, but Ryan Lochte is the new Michael Phelps. Without doubt the best male swimmer in the world right now. London 2012 may be a different story, because I don’t believe that Phelps will take this lying down…but for now, we can safely say that Lochte sits on top [...]

Saturday, 30 July, 2011
Event: “Into The Woods” by Dream Academy Run: 29th Jul – 7th Aug 2011 Venue: Esplanade Theatre Dream Academy’s Delightful Foray First things first, it is so wonderful to see Emma Yong back on stage once again. Truly one of the most talented musical theatre actresses we have in theatre today. I had the pleasure [...]
Great Tour
Monday, 25 July, 2011
So Cadel Evans ended up winning what was probably one of the best Tours de France in recent history. I didn’t exactly watch all the stages, but I definitely watched more stages this year than in all other years combined. It was intriguing because the yellow jersey changed hands twice in the last three days. [...]
About Singapore’s Return To The Malaysia Cup
Monday, 18 July, 2011
There has been a lot of excitement lately about the fact that we’re returning to the Malaysia Cup. It’s almost like saying the Beatles are alive and well, and will be touring the world once again. But will it ever be the same again for us? No. Firstly, lest we all get ahead of ourselves, [...]
“Beautiful Lies”
Friday, 15 July, 2011
There is something about French rom-coms…this unique sense of sprightliness, humour and beauty all rolled into one. I don’t know how to describe it, but they just seem to have it. I suppose the aural sensation of the French language might have a large part to play in it. But ultimately, the French know how [...]
Julys And The Tour De France
Wednesday, 13 July, 2011
July is a notoriously quiet sports month. No football. No NFL. No NBA. No college football or basketball. No tennis Grand Slam. But there’s one thing – and it’s a big thing – which I’ve begun to follow faithfully every July. The Tour de France. For me, Julys every year are now synonymous with the [...]
The Music Of Andrew Lloyd Webber
Tuesday, 12 July, 2011
There is a concert called “The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber” going on at the Grand Theater at Marina Bay Sands these few days. Due to budget limitations, I decided to forego this one. But anyway, here’s a list of my favourite Lloyd Webber tunes of all time: 1) High Flying, Adored (from “Evita”) 2) [...]
Silverstone
Monday, 11 July, 2011
Few thoughts on Silverstone: You’ve got to give credit where it is due – Silverstone was an exciting race. I guess the wet weather at the start definitely helped. Looks like F1 is the only sport that desperately needs rain to make it exciting. About the Webber-Vettel incident… I guess a new phrase has entered [...]
Lady Gaga’s Reaction To The “Fun Pack Song”
Saturday, 9 July, 2011
What were the odds of having Lady Gaga come to Singapore to perform at a Singtel event at MBS, and having the release of our appalling “Fun Pack Song” occur both at the same time? It’s so coincidental it almost seems as if it was planned way in advance. Anyway, it was only natural that [...]
Review: Dick Lee’s “Beauty Kings”
Saturday, 9 July, 2011
Event: Dick Lee’s “Beauty Kings” Venue: Drama Centre Theatre Run: 6th July – 17th July 2011 Romp and Pageantry Sex, lies, scandals…all within the context of a male beauty pageant. What’s there not to be intrigued about this play? Credit to Dick Lee and his team for coming up with such a scintillating premise for [...]
