Some of my friends might know that I’ve been a huge fan of magic ever since I was a kid, and it was David Copperfield who first piqued my interest and got me all fascinated by this most amazing of artforms. I literally grew up on David Copperfield’s TV specials, and I could probably recite [...]

Montages
Friday, 17 June, 2011
There is something to be said about montages of TV series being played to the backdrop of a great song. I mean, here I was just surfing YouTube for one of my favourite songs from “Wicked” called “I’m Not That Girl”, and I stumbled upon this montage of a TV series which I know absolutely [...]
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 [...]
Jamie’s Great Italian Escape
Thursday, 16 December, 2010
I’m not much of a food guy, but some years back I stumbled upon this fascinating show on telly (I can’t remember if it was AFC or Discovery Travel & Living) whereby Jamie Oliver paid a visit to Italy to unearth the great secrets behind their remarkable food culture. It was so fascinating not because [...]
TV Drama Series Devices Lesson 1: “I Overheard You”
Thursday, 28 October, 2010
In television series, there are always a number of popular devices being used to spice up the dramatic quotient, as well as move the story forward. I hesitate to use the word “cliches’…I think “devices” is a much nicer word. Over the course of time, I may slowly share more of these devices, but for [...]
I Am Now A K-Drama Convert
Tuesday, 26 October, 2010
On the flight back from China I decided to give “Knight and Day” a shot, because my sister sitting next to me tells me it’s a great movie. After watching the entire film I realised that I had been utterly duped. But it was on hindsight that I learnt that one can never trust the [...]
Completely Random
Monday, 19 July, 2010
I don’t know about you, but I faithfully watched the cartoon “Muppet Babies” as a kid and I never could get over the fact that we never got to see the nanny’s face. Those were the good ol’ days of television.
TV Talk
Monday, 26 April, 2010
I don’t watch much TV, to be honest. The only thing I watch faithfully is Formula 1 and whatever many NBA playoff games they choose to show every year from April to June. Occasionally I may tune in to the odd big Premier League match, but not often. The reason why I don’t watch that [...]
The “Kris Allen” Thing All Over Again
Tuesday, 5 January, 2010
Well, I didn’t really want to go near this subject, but now that the dust has kinda settled I guess I’ll weigh in on the whole S’pore Idol matter. I’ve followed this 3rd season of S’pore Idol right from the beginning, so I guess I’m somewhat entitled to my two cents worth. To cut the [...]
Keeping Up With The Kardashians: The Wedding
Tuesday, 17 November, 2009
I’m a bit embarrassed to say this, but the last few nights I’ve been squeezing in a bit of time to catch the wedding special of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” on YouTube. (Yes, trashy show I know…but it’s entertaining nonetheless.) This is the highly-anticipated one where Khloe gets married to Lamar Odom after knowing [...]
