Not Unlike High Platform Diving

January 25th, 2006 · No Comments · Whacky Thoughts

I am not a big fan of sport broadcast but since young, I fall in love with high platform diving. With a high platform, the athletes are given enough time to chain the difficult moves together and yet land onto the water with the minimum amount of splash. Perfect ten is made of this.

Kewl Song: Something In Your Eyes

January 24th, 2006 · No Comments · Songwriting

I was planning to compose the song as written the night before. Turned out that the chords, rhythm, and tempo did not fit the theme of the song. So I have decided to write another song instead. When I first demo’ed it to Cynthia, she said: it’s cute! Yep, it is a darn cute song. [...]

Statistic On Song Writing

January 23rd, 2006 · No Comments · Songwriting

Just some useless statistics. You see, when I write songs, I write the lyrics and chords on a notepad. Usually I will type them out nicely into Words format as well as updating an Excel spreadsheet in order to keep track of what I have written. Over the year, I have become lazy and just [...]

Are You Feeling Lonely (Let Me Be With You)

January 23rd, 2006 · No Comments · Songwriting

Wife was having conference call in the late evening so instead of composing music melody, I worked on the lyrics instead. The title of the song could be “Are You Feeling Lonely (Let Me Be With You)”. All comments are welcome. I have not worked on the music yet.
Are You Feeling Lonely (Let Me Be [...]

Singapore’s Customer Services

January 23rd, 2006 · No Comments · Whacky Thoughts

With the recent Hong Kong trip still fresh in my memory, I find it hard not to compare the customer services experience in Hong Kong and in Singapore. Back in Hong Kong, one evening I entered an electronic shop not unlike Courts near closing hours. The salesperson was very helpful full of enthusiasm showing me [...]

French Movie - Anthony Zimmer

January 22nd, 2006 · No Comments · Drama, Movie Reviews

Verdict: 8/10
Pros: Engaging scenes with a tightness that hold your attention from beginning till the end. Good acting from the lead actor and actress. And of course, Sophie Marceaus - the sexiest French on earth.
Cons: You probably may watch it again once or twice but not as many times as some of the other French [...]

After launching the Realplayer, I was greeted with many interesting movie titles such as: Love for Sale, My Sister the Geisha, Favourite Body Parts, Why Men Pay For [...]

In the Spirit of Black

January 21st, 2006 · No Comments · Diary

Cynthia and I must have spent three to four hours hanging around the Honda Showroom. It was flooded with people. Most people were asking if cars can be delivered before Chinese New Year, which is like in a couple of days time. The new Civic draws lots of attention too. After hours of idling (and [...]

What Makes Me Happy?

January 20th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Diary

CL called me yesterday as he was arranging for a reunion lunch with my clients from StanChart back in 1999. I gladly accepted the invitation and how I missed them. One of them has to travel from Plaza from the Park and another one from Suntech. Looking at them, I registered the familarity but yet [...]

Why I Wish to Upgrade My Car

January 20th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Diary

Last year February I have written a blog on “Why I Don’t Upgrade My Car”. Then couples of days ago, TK told me that if I am to deregister my car after the 5-years mark, I will get a “penalty”. He asked me to check out http://www.OneMotoring.com.sg and so I did.
The results? If I am [...]
