UB40 didn’t make it, U2 does. When I was a little boy, I often camped at the record stores, going through the catalogue organized by alphabets day after day, month after month. There weren’t that many group artists under the letter “U”. “Red Red Wine (1983)” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love (1993)” still put [...]

November 30th, 2008 22 Comments
Our band photographer Mark Lim has just broadcast the photos taken during our band No Eye Candy’s 30 minutes live performance at Hereen last evening. It was his first concert shot and you have got to agree with me that these are great shots capturing the essence of our gig as well as the audience. Good [...]

Recession and You Think You See the Axe Coming … So What? Practical Ways to Stay Happy
November 5th, 2008 15 Comments
Lovely picture isn’t it? When I retire, I want to live somewhere that I can see this view every end of day. But between then and now, I reckon I still need to make just enough money to get there. And I reckon I will probably see a few rounds of bull and bear runs [...]

Nokia Remix: Singapore – Pictures from Lifehouse Concert and the Upcoming Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
October 6th, 2008 39 Comments
Will the new Nokia touch screen phone that comes with one year unlimited music download and more redefine what a phone can be? I was holding one last Friday and I was thrilled by its potential. And there is no event like a Nokia event. Lifehouse was in the house, together with the local bands [...]

My First v-Blog: A History of Chips (That Matters to Me) – Season 1 Finale
July 31st, 2008 19 Comments
Just how long this video remains public depends on how thick my skin is. And you will be surprised how thick my skin is not.
PS: It is almost like a little miracle that this video sees the day of light. This morning, my rather new computer died on me – like any of her predecessors [...]

Mustafa – Every Mall Should Be Like This
May 13th, 2008 13 Comments
My good friend Amie is leaving us this week and she asked if I could help her to transport this huge pan grill of, I assume, hers to home. Sure, that’s what friends are for. I often wonder what she does during the office lunch hours. Had I know she grills meat all this while …

Movie Script: Where In The World Is Mas Selamat?
April 22nd, 2008 23 Comments
The so-called vivid story told by today’s newspaper is neither in-depth nor entertaining. I was expecting a Hollywood script like this. Enjoy! Rated M18 for strong language, blood and gore.
1. EXT. DETENTION CENTER, SINGAPORE – NIGHT (4am)
(Writer’s note: Who wants to watch a fugitive film that happens at four in the afternoon?)
An unidentified truck pulls in [...]

It’s Scrabble Instead Of Mahjong
February 10th, 2008 11 Comments
Don’t get me wrong. I love the game of Mahjong. Just that it is hard to find companions who are willing to play by score instead of money. Play by score, you must be bewildered. Yep, that was how we played the game of Mahjong back in my university days when students are (or were) still pure … [...]

What The PUK?
August 18th, 2007 9 Comments
Cynthia is out of town. And it seems that the entire Universe has conspired not letting me to succumb to the typical fate of a “7-year Itch” like some of my friends so playfully pointed out. When I left the office this evening, my new colleague – a gentleman in his 50s – reminded me, [...]

This Is How We Guys Do It
March 7th, 2007 7 Comments
Sometimes I wonder if girls do admire each others’ bodies in a wow-that-is-nice-and-how-did-you-do-it kind of way like we (or some of us) do publicly. Be it as girls or guys, I think we all want a … erm … fuller chest. For guys, it is relatively easy. Just need to do more push-ups and iron [...]
