You always remember exactly what you were doing when you hear about the death of your favourite personalities. I remember when I first read about Michael Jackson’s death, and I will always remember how I heard about Whitney Houston’s death. Let’s just focus on her career for now. I consider her to be one of [...]

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: The Adventures of the Mad Chinaman
Wednesday, 25 May, 2011
Event: Fantastic Entertainment Presents “The Adventures of the Mad Chinaman” (starring Dick Lee) Venue: Esplanade Recital Studio Run: 24th May – 26th May 2011 It’s hard to believe that Dick Lee, by far Singapore’s most accomplished and well-known singer-songwriter and composer of musicals, has not performed in a formal concert setting since his Kallang Theatre [...]
Fake Plastic Trees
Monday, 25 April, 2011
I’m a huge fan of the TV series “Entourage”, and over the past few months I have been slowly working my way through the first five seasons on DVD. A few days back I was watching Season 5 Episode 7, and at the end of the episode there was this scene where Ari is about [...]
Super Bowl Halftime Show: Black Eyed Peas
Tuesday, 8 February, 2011
Well, I guess bad publicity is still better than no publicity. While I could not fault the choice of Black Eyed Peas as the entertainers for the halftime show, I (together with probably millions around the world) just couldn’t help but cringe when Fergie tried to do “Sweet Child O Mine” a la Axl Rose. [...]
The New Dim Sum Dollies Jingle…Not Loving It?
Tuesday, 2 November, 2010
It has been said that in the world of show business, there is no such thing as “bad publicity”. However, this latest saga involving the “Train is Coming” jingle for MRT stations done by the Dim Sum Dollies just might threaten to prove the saying wrong. I am a huge fan of the Dim Sum [...]
Being Relevant
Tuesday, 11 May, 2010
I like this video a lot. The guys look like they’re really having a blast, and it’s a fantastic performance. It’s the latest viral video, and deservedly so. It seems like the really in thing to do Lady Gaga songs nowadays. There’s another very enjoyable video of a bassoon quartet doing Gaga songs (here). On [...]
The Backup Plan
Saturday, 1 May, 2010
I love romantic comedies, and it seems like new romantic comedies don’t come along very often nowadays. There’s this new one I keep hearing about called “The Backup Plan”, but I think I’ll give it a pass. I’ll tell you why. Firstly, the golden truth of rom-coms is that we watch because of who’s starring [...]
Resorts World
Monday, 25 January, 2010
Well, I’m kinda looking forward to visiting Resorts World soon, once the initial hoopla starts to die out. Not for the casino, but for the hotels and the restaurants and Universal Studios. It all seems very exciting really. I’ve seen some photos of RWS on blogs, and they look fantastic! (It’s amazing what you can [...]

Wednesday, 20 January, 2010
There has been considerable coverage recently regarding J C Sum and “Magic Babe” Ning’s upcoming feat – predicting the winning 4D result for the 27th January draw. See articles (here) and (here) and (here) and (here) and (here). Now, nothing captures a public’s imagination quite like predicting winning lottery numbers. This brings to mind Derren [...]
