Haven’t really had the time or resolve to blog much lately. Plus the fact that I’ve discovered my new love Twitter, which means I’ve been wanting to blog less. I suppose in the past few years I’ve paid my fair share of dues in learning as much as I possibly can about the art and [...]

“Senna” The Film
Wednesday, 28 September, 2011
I was fortunate to be given an invite to view the F1 documentary film “Senna”, as part of the closing event for the SIFF. I had very much wanted to catch this film, and I came away being totally mesmerised by it. Definitely the most engaging documentary film I’ve ever watched. You could call it [...]
“We Are Who We’ve Loved” By Sumiko Tan
Monday, 19 September, 2011
As you might probably know by now, I’m usually highly dismissive of Sumiko Tan’s columns. But after she’s written so many columns of questionable quality over the years, I guess she was finally due for a good one. No, but seriously folks, I thought her article in yesterday’s Sunday Times (entitled “We Are Who We’ve [...]
Stephen Schwartz
Sunday, 18 September, 2011
Because I’ll be watching “Wicked” again when it comes to Singapore, I’ve been brushing up on my knowledge of the songs in the musical.

Defying Gravity
Wednesday, 14 September, 2011

And whilst searching on YouTube, I chanced upon this clip from a show called “The Glee Project”. And can I just say that I think the girl in the [...]
Mooncakes Are Going The Way Of Roti Pratas
Saturday, 10 September, 2011
Call me a purist, if you will. Every year, I only insist on eating just one type of mooncake and one type alone…and that is the completely plain type. No funny stuff, just plain lotus paste please, thank you very much. Problem is, it’s just so hard to find plain mooncakes nowadays. You have double [...]
6 Simple Truths of Twitter
Monday, 5 September, 2011
Part of the reason why I hadn’t been blogging that much lately is because I had finally discovered the wonderful world of Twitter. (Yes, I have succumbed.) And boy is it a whole new world. It’s almost as if I had fallen into Alice’s rabbit hole and arrived in Wonderland or something. I finally get [...]
Travels
Monday, 5 September, 2011
I’m not a hardcore travel person, but whenever I do get the chance to venture overseas, the thing I like to observe most is the people. I’m a keen observer of human behaviour, and recently I had the chance to put my observational skills to use when I visited Siem Reap. I’ve found the Cambodians [...]
