Simply Red is not exactly a commercially successful band outside UK and Europe but yet it draws fans like myself who care to discover a few gems from each release.

“After Hours” Showing At Channel 5 Now Is Actually Not Bad
April 24th, 2007 No Comments
Gosh, it is difficult to write this blog. How little do I know about the local entertainment industry, set aside the region.

April 23rd, 2007 No Comments

Tong Kiat and I love Japanese and Korea tear-jerking movies but Cynthia does not. And Cynthia and I know that the slow pace lengthy art movies [...]

April 20th, 2007 No Comments

April 17th, 2007 4 Comments
Jason my guitarist often comments to me that though he is drawn to the darkness of my music, for the good of general public consumption (as we are planning for an open-mic performance soon), it may be hard to hold the attention of the crowd if the entire set of songs are of the same [...]

Love And Honor – The 3rd Installment of Yoji Yamada’s Samurai Trilogy
April 15th, 2007 1 Comment
I shed half a tear at the ending scene, which is rare as I have an enormous resistance to tear jerking moments in movies – and “Love And Honor” is not even a sappy love story. See for yourself if this is some sort of coincidence. Cynthia is not in town so what should my [...]

Brand Leadership – Solid Theories And Approach, But Not An Easy Read
April 12th, 2007 1 Comment
My friend KF the Branding Consultant (not KF the Muscleman) passed me a book titled “Brand Leadership” to read. I have always enjoyed expanding my horizon whenever I can. Two reasons for that: (1) I’ll never know what I read or do may come in handy in my future (in another word, get prepared for [...]
