I recently caught “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, the hilarious Christmas pantomime put up by local theatre group W!ld Rice, at the Drama Centre Theatre.
I’ve been an avid follower of W!ld Rice’s productions over the years, hence I couldn’t afford to miss this latest installment.
“Snow White” is directed by first-time director Hossan Leong, with [...]

Week Of Upsets
Monday, 29 September, 2008
Before we go any further, let me just state that I’m with the Dallas Cowboys this season. I’m rooting for them to go all the way.
I’m not sure if the Romo-Owens-Barber combination is as good as the Aikman-Irvin-Smith combination was back in the ’90s, but it sure is one of the best in the NFL [...]
The Second Greatest Comeback
Friday, 19 September, 2008
So Lance Armstrong looks likely to return to the Tour de France this year.
That’s fantastic news for cycling, and fantastic news for sports in general. And it is also, in my opinion, the second greatest possible comeback in sports today.
What would be the greatest?
Why it would be Michael Schumacher back in a Ferrari of course!
Go [...]
Never, Ever Debate With Women (Especially With Women Who Don’t Like You)
Thursday, 18 September, 2008
I have a lot of thoughts about the US Presidential Election, but I’ll start with this one for today.
I watched John McCain being grilled on “The View” and it was just painful to watch. Horrible, really. I couldn’t even bring myself to watch anything beyond Part 1 (shown below).
It was disturbing.
And even though I’m not [...]

Ok, thanks to this CNA article, we now know the following:
- Yesterday, swimmer Yip Pin Xiu won a gold medal in the 50m Backstroke (S3). This is the first time Singapore has ever won a gold medal in either the Paralympics or the Olympics, which also meant that the “Majulah Singapura” was played for the [...]
What A Weekend
Monday, 8 September, 2008
This was quite a weekend in sports.
First, the latest shocking news: Tom Brady looks likely to be out for the season. Shocker of shockers!
Then you had last night’s Spa GP, quite simply the most intriguing race of the season yet: Lewis spinning after the first lap, Kimi snatching the lead, Lewis hanging in there till [...]
“76% Of Drivers Who Do Not Pay ERP Daily Benefit From 15% Road Tax Cut”
Thursday, 24 July, 2008
I found this news article on Monday a little bit puzzling:
“76% of drivers who do not pay ERP daily benefit from 15% road tax cut“ (source: CNA website)
In particular, the first two paragraphs:
“SINGAPORE: Only a quarter or 24 per cent of all drivers in Singapore incur daily Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) charges.
Speaking in Parliament on Monday, Transport [...]
NDP Song Music Video - The Plot Thickens!
Wednesday, 16 July, 2008
This is good stuff.
I saw this letter in the Straits Times Forum section today which really piqued my interest:
N-Day song’s music concept video a copycat?
I WAS proud of Singapore when I first read the lyrics to this year’s National Day theme song Shine For Singapore.
The song made me reminisce about songs of past National [...]
“Traffic Conditions Improve In First Week Of New ERP Criteria”
Tuesday, 15 July, 2008
The LTA continues to pat itself on the back for a job well done last week:
“Traffic conditions improve in first week of new ERP criteria” (from CNA website)
To quote from the article:
“The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said there has been an overall improvement in the travel speeds and traffic conditions in the city centre since [...]
Miss Singapore Universe Is “Too Old”?!? Give me a break!
Friday, 23 May, 2008
This is appalling.
The headline on page 2 of today’s Life! section asks “Is She Too Old?” Full article (here).
To quote the first few lines from the article:
“Is this year’s Miss Singapore Universe pageant jinxed? First, the live broadcast was axed. Now, it has produced Singapore’s oldest winner in 10 years
