Suspicious Minds
Monday, 6 December, 2010
And the soap opera continues… You’ve got to hand it to Sumiko Tan. Just when you thought that she’d finally run out of engaging, tugging-at-the-heartstrings topics to write about now that she is happily married to Mr H, she still manages to pull the odd trick out of the bag and stimulate passionate discussion both [...]
The “Genius Bit”
Monday, 20 September, 2010
Sometimes I like to coin my own terminology, and when it comes to great songs, I like to use the term “genius bit”. The “genius bit” refers to the particular part of the song that turns a very good song into a great song. I’ll give you an example. In my opinion, the song “Bad [...]
C’mon Singaporeans…Date For Goodness Sake!
Monday, 30 August, 2010
I recently read that the government, through MCYS, is launching a campaign to “promote dating among its notoriously love-shy singles.” Article (here). To quote: “The Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) issued a tender this month through the government’s official procurement website calling for proposals on how to encourage singles to date…No details [...]
It Has To Feel Right
Tuesday, 20 July, 2010
Recently I was asked to compose a piece of music for a dear friend. I was thrilled to do so, of course, because this friend was dear to me and I wanted to do a very good job out of it. I decided to write a song (i.e. with lyrics), and I wrote out a [...]
Thoughts On Sumiko’s Marriage
Friday, 25 June, 2010
It’s not every day that Singapore’s most famous female columnist gets married, so I thought I’d milk it for all it’s worth. I’ve been getting mad hits on this blog since this morning like you won’t believe, all searching for “Sumiko Tan” and “Hurricane”. Seems like she’s still a very popular figure here in Singapore. [...]
Dreams Do Come True
Friday, 25 June, 2010
This is breaking news so I thought I’d better post my thoughts on it. Earlier today my friend messaged me telling me that Sumiko Tan is getting married (here), to which I replied “No wonder I’ve been getting so many hits on my blog today for searches on ‘Sumiko Tan’!” Well, the reason why this [...]
Slow To Anger
Monday, 26 April, 2010
Occasionally you would bump into a daily spiritual passage that is so pertinent that it seems as if God were speaking directly to you, and I don’t believe that such occurrences are mere coincidences. One passage I came across very recently was “Put A Lid On It” by Joe Stowell (here). It dealt with the [...]
Lest Too Light Winning Make The Prize Light
Friday, 9 April, 2010
They’re playing “The Tempest” at the Esplanade these few days, as part of the famed The Bridge Project. I don’t intend to go for it cos I’m not really a Shakespeare person, and I can’t really afford the tickets. Now I’ve never read “The Tempest” before, but there’s one particular quote in it that I [...]
Train Men To Do Chores
Monday, 29 March, 2010
Occasionally I would flip open the pages of the Straits Times. Not that I find it essential to do so, but you never know when you might chance upon the occasional amusing article. Yesterday’s Sunday Times had an interesting column by Chua Mui Hoong entitled “Train men to do chores”. Article (here). Her main thrust [...]
