I just realised something after last night’s Singapore Idol episode. Here’s how I think it goes: Every week the remaining contestants come up and give it their best shot, it really doesn’t matter how well or how badly they do, the judges will then give their (sometimes bizarre, often inexplicable) comments which eventually have absolutely [...]

Random Musings On TV
Wednesday, 14 October, 2009
Singapore Idol Is it just me, or is this third season of Singapore Idol just simply NOT as engaging as the first two seasons were? I mean, I’m doing my best to follow this latest season of SI, but I just find it strangely uninteresting…because I’m finding it hard to root for any one single [...]
New York, New York
Tuesday, 13 October, 2009
I was watching the show “America The Wright Way” on Discovery Travel and Living yesterday night. I believe it’s a weekly show hosted by this funny little British guy named Ian Wright (not the footballer). Discovery Travel (i.e. Channel 16) is one of my favourite channels on cable, cos you get to explore fascinating parts [...]
Kirk Cameron
Wednesday, 22 July, 2009
This is going to sound totally random, but it just occured to me today that Kirk Cameron might have been the poor man’s Michael J Fox. Those of you who are a bit too young will not understand what I am talking about. P.S. I was so thrilled to find out on Google that there [...]
Well Done Girls!
Wednesday, 20 May, 2009
I was very pleased to read the news this morning: “Singapore’s all-women team successfully summit Mt Everest” To quote from the article: “Lee Li Hui, 27, Esther Tan, 26, and Jane Lee, 25, stepped on the top of the world at 3.45am, 3.54am and 4.43am Wednesday Nepal time respectively, making the team the first Singaporean [...]
Getting Hooked On S Factor
Monday, 18 May, 2009
I can’t believe it either, but I’m starting to get seriously hooked on “S Factor”. I caught last night’s episode and it they had to eliminate one from the remaining 3 contestants – Kay Kay, Sonia and Sherine. (Sherine got eliminated in the end.) So now it’s down to the final two girls – Kay Kay [...]
An Interesting Experiment On “S Factor”
Monday, 4 May, 2009
I’ve slowly started to get hooked on the local reality show “S Factor”. It can be rather intriguing at times. I’ll give you an example: Yesterday, they ran this experiment which I thought was really interesting. Basically the four girls Kay Kay, Jessica, Michelle and Sherine (NB: Sonia and Xue Sha were granted “immunity” for [...]
“Britain’s Got Talent” – Pure Television Gold
Thursday, 23 April, 2009
“Britain’s Got Talent” has gotta be a million times better than “American Idol” I tell ya! Too bad we don’t get it on telly here, but judging by the YouTube clips, I reckon it’s one of the greatest things in recent TV history. Pure television gold. The clip above was so good I had to [...]
“S Factor” – Is This Representative Of Singaporean Girls?
Wednesday, 22 April, 2009
So MediaCorp’s done it again with a hit English comedy TV series called “S Factor”. Oh wait, it’s supposed to be a reality show, not a comedy. But seriously folks, the only way MediaCorp produces a good English TV show is when it’s of a so-bad-that-it’s-good variety. In other words – unintentional comedy. The official [...]
New Sensation
Tuesday, 21 April, 2009
You’ve got competition Susan, here comes new sensation Shaheen Jafargholi. I tell you, “Britain’s Got Talent” has gotta be ten times better than “American Idol” (even though we don’t get to watch it here). When was the last time “American Idol” was actually interesting anyway?
