Romantic comedies happen to be one of my favourite genres of film. I love the frivolity of it all, and the fact that for all its predictability, it still never fails to make you go “awww”. (Well, at least the good ones do that.) I say “frivolous” because at the end of the day, it’s [...]

Proposal From “Runaway Bride”
Friday, 30 December, 2011
ST left a comment a few posts earlier (here) and shared this interesting clip from “Runaway Bride”, which showed a rare occurrence of a lady proposing to a man. Now I’ve never seen “Runaway Bride” before (I’m guessing it’s one of the more missable of Julia Roberts’ romantic comedies?), but I found this scene strangely [...]
Best Band Discovery of 2011
Monday, 26 December, 2011
I know I’m a bit slow, but my best band discovery for this year has definitely got to be The Script. I’ve been listening to their eponymous album, and I absolutely adore “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” and “Breakeven”. I think they just might be the greatest band to come out of Dublin since [...]
Wedding Proposals
Friday, 23 December, 2011
For some strange reason I have been coming across a few wedding proposal video clips on social media the past week or so. Recently there was one about a flash mob at the Singapore Flyer, which was actually a wedding proposal in disguise. (It’s 12 minutes worth of epic drama, I couldn’t bring myself to [...]
Whatever Happened To Blogging?
Wednesday, 21 December, 2011
Whatever happened to blogging? Time was when every other person on the internet kept their own blog – their own “personal space on the web”, so to speak. Youngsters and internet newbies would get themselves a Blogspot account, arty female types would get their Livejournal account, internet-savvy people and geeks would get their WordPress account, [...]
Songwriting vs Film Scoring
Tuesday, 20 December, 2011
Recently in Life! there was an article about local film composer Ricky Ho, who had won a Golden Horse award for “Best Original Film Score” for the film “Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale”. This was indeed a remarkable achievement, and the article basically chronicled his life and described how he got to where he [...]
“I’m Not That Girl”
Saturday, 17 December, 2011
(From the musical “Wicked”) I’m Not That Girl Hands touch, eyes meet Sudden silence, sudden heat Hearts leap in a giddy whirl He could be that boy But I’m not that girl Don’t dream too far Don’t lose sight of who you are Don’t remember that rush of joy He could be that boy I’m [...]

About Adeline Chia And K-Pop
Saturday, 10 December, 2011
Whatever happened to civility these days? I guess the “Adeline Chia vs K-Pop nation” saga needs no further introduction. Basically she penned a column in Life! on 8th Dec slamming the artificiality of the whole K-Pop industry, and naturally incurred the wrath of K-Pop nation. Her one single status update on her Facebook page (“SHINee [...]
More On “One Day” (The Book)
Monday, 5 December, 2011
Have I mentioned I’m loving every minute of reading “One Day”? It’s been weeks and I’m barely even at the halfway mark (oh, the horror!), but just as well…cos I’m enjoying every page so much I want the experience to last as long as possible. Some great lines which I recently came across: “He (i.e. [...]
