I thought long and hard before buying the new album by a Russian/American/Japanese singer, model, and actress Anna Tsuchiya (土屋アンナ). Exactly how do you draw the line between a good rock abum and a not so good vocalist (*ahem* I am looking at my band)? Call it a Japanese album when 98% of the lyrics [...]

1st Random Video Filmed During Band Practice
August 14th, 2008 4 Comments
This is for you, my loyal readers, my undying fans. Erm. I hope nothing will change after this broadcast. The fact is, for the past number of days, my mind has been spinning as though I was mind-plucking the invisible flower petals murmuring “I show you”, “I show you not”. And. I did show this video to [...]

Hard Work Pays Off, Sort Off – And My Degree in Spanish Is Ingeniería y Ciencias Informáticas
August 13th, 2008 11 Comments
I hope none of my colleagues at my office reads this. Anyways. I know I have been massively lagging behind in my Spanish class. But I was inspired by Women’s 400m Butterfly. Never mind trailing behind in the initial three laps. It is how much burst energy you have in the last lap that counts. [...]

August 11th, 2008 7 Comments
I did not wake up this morning and went, “Ah, I am going to make a video blog today”. Our new drummer Wieke has made a request to play No Doubt’s “Hella Good” as she wishes to – in her own words – implement some of the ideas or techniques into our band’s materials. So [...]

Singapore Needs More Good News, Perhaps? Happy National Day, and Others
August 9th, 2008 9 Comments
OK. It’s the first time in my life seeing a Singapore flag sticking up from someone’s head. Cynthia couldn’t resist to take a picture; I can’t resist not to share. One great thing about having your website is that you can almost trace back on what you’ve done the same day last year, the year [...]

Bingo, Played In Spanish
August 6th, 2008 11 Comments
If I was single and in Spain, by the end of lesson three, I shall be able to go beyond hi-how-are-you, what’s-your-name, where’re-you-from, when’s-your-birthday, to … what’s your telephone number? Except, I wouldn’t be able catch 100% what her number would be. D’oh! The reality is this: Last evening, Cynthia and I have spent an [...]

Montage of Our Studio Jamming Session – Aug 1st
August 5th, 2008 4 Comments
OK. I shall let the pictures do the talking. Though we named our band as “No Eye Candy”, I am pretty sure the reality is far from what it literally means – with me as the exception of course. A big thanks to our ‘band manager’ Selrol for taking these great pictures. Enjoy! PS. For the new [...]

Under the Same Moon – Who Wouldn’t Want This Boy As One of Your Own?
August 4th, 2008 3 Comments
A less than ordinary day of mine began with Cynthia’s facial appointment at Vivocity. Armed with a book and my music collection, my plan was to sit down at a cafe somewhere and space out, which is what I am good at doing when I am alone – spacing out. So I was at Coffee [...]
