It’s days like these you wish you had more friends named “Lawrence”, just so you can have the pleasure of legitimately saying “Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence”.

Gift-Giving Truths
Wednesday, 22 December, 2010
I wouldn’t say that I’m the best at choosing gifts, but I do enjoy the act of gift-giving quite a bit, especially to close friends. And the last few weeks I have been doing a fair bit of gift-giving, to a variety of friends young and old. I gave out some candy canes to some [...]
Review: “Crazy Christmas” By Dream Academy
Sunday, 19 December, 2010
Event: “Crazy Christmas” by Dream Academy (featuring Vocaluptuous) Venue: Drama Centre Theatre Run: 2nd Dec – 19th Dec 2010 I remarked to Ilkosa that I usually find it quite difficult to review shows like “Crazy Christmas”, cos it’s music heavy and there’s not too much else to talk about in terms of writing and plot [...]
Good December
Friday, 25 December, 2009
I would say that this year-end season was a fantastic one. Well as always, I’m an optimist, but I really thank God for such a great Christmas season this year. I gave out Christmas cards and presents and received my fair share of them too, church carolling went great, the weather this month was cooling [...]
Christmas Rant
Tuesday, 25 December, 2007
I think it’s lamentable that many a times it’s so easy for us to lose track of the true meaning of Christmas. To most of us, Christmas means one or more of the following: – A time to show your loved ones how much they mean to you – A time to make merry – [...]
Christmastime (Jazz Version)
Sunday, 23 December, 2007
Here’s the straight (original) version of “Christmastime” (link). … Here’s a swinged-up version of “Christmastime” I just came us with. [odeo=http://odeo.com/audio/17545963/view] Was just playing around with my KORG synthesizer as well as GarageBand (I’m a new Mac user), and decided to record a jazzed up version of “Christmastime” as my first recorded track on GarageBand.

“A Crazy Christmas!”…Crazily Good!
Monday, 3 December, 2007
Put the collective talents of Selena Tan, Emma Yong, Pam Oei (that’s all three dollies there already), Hossan Leong, Lim Yu Beng, Tan Kheng Hua, Robin Goh, Denise Tan, John Lee (Dick’s brother), and Lim Kay Siu on stage together in a mini-concert, and what do you get? One of the funniest and most enjoyable arts events in recent memory. Even though “A [...]
Happy Early Christmas! (Here’s A Carol For You)
Saturday, 1 December, 2007
It’s never too early to celebrate Christmas, right? Anyway, here’s my first ever attempt at writing a Christmas carol. It is heavily styled after John Rutter, who is one of my most-admired composers. I presented this song (with Betty doing a great job on vocals) at last night’s Songcraft session. I envision for this song to be sung [...]
A Nice Christmas Song By The Pretenders
Tuesday, 20 November, 2007
I recently had a discussion with a musical friend on whether there is such a thing as a “Christmasy melody”. As in, when you look at Christmas songs and carols, they tend to have this “Christmasy” feel about them, don’t they? And how do you exactly describe this feel? Is it just the lyrics which [...]
Christmas ’06
Monday, 25 December, 2006
Have a blessed Christmas everyone. … And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I [...]
