Lost Innocence

by admin Dec 10, 2012 Comments

Another almost 20-year-old music video. I like the way MV directors back then incorporated touching and coherent stories into the videos. This is one of Malaysian singer 梁靜茹’s earlier songs. It’s also one of my favourites from her. The story for the MV was well-written and the director did an awesome job. It begins with […]

Lasting Bitter Sweetness

by admin Dec 9, 2012 Comments

I’m finally satisfied with the manuscript for Spellbound In Chiangmai. The book is now being “typeset”. At long last, I’m repaying my sleep debt and putting on my running shoes again. After printing, which is expected to be completed early next year, the next hurdle would be sales and marketing. Meanwhile, I’m studying the science […]

Heart And Not Ears

by admin Nov 30, 2012 Comments

Many years ago when Hougang Mall first opened and business was just beginning to trickle in, they held a karaoke competition to attract shoppers. No, I didn’t take part, neither did I judge, but I was in the audience. As expected, most of the participants couldn’t even sing in tune. Halfway through, one participant stood […]

In A Different Light

by admin Nov 3, 2012 Comments

The long, 36W fluorescent tubes in my office are now 7 years old. Not surprisingly, they are beginning to fail; one by one. So I went down to the electrical shop and the owner recommended me a new model of fluorescent tube that gives “true colour”. True colour is indeed quite important in my field […]

China’s Ultimate Rebel – Ai Weiwei 艾未未

by admin Oct 25, 2012 Comments

Not many people have a problem with Singapore being called a soul-less state. There are rigid rules which reflect our core values – some of which are practised, some of which are merely preached. Singapore’s socio-political stability received much praise from both outsiders and insiders (in the form of self-praise). Conflicts here come mostly in […]

Chinese Fantasies

by admin Oct 13, 2012 Comments

This genre in Chinese literature has probably remained unknown to the Western world until Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon hit the big screens in Hollywood. Going by Western classification, this genre would probably go under fantasy. I would call it fantasy+historical romance. Growing up in the 1970s, I was quite familiar with the tacky Hongkong sword-fighting […]

Off-Guard Tonight 今夜不设防

by admin Jul 9, 2012 Comments

今夜不设防 or translated as Off-Guard Tonight, was a shocking TV programme first telecast in Hongkong. The hosts in the programme were science fiction writer Ni Kuang, talk show host, lyricist, film director James Wong Jim and Singapore’s very own (but often rejected) film-maker, writer and culinary expert, Cai Lan (Chua Lam). The show saw the […]

Off-Guard Tonight 今夜不设防

Leslie Cheung on Off-Guard Tonight. If you can read between the lines, the guys seemed quite aware of Leslie’s orientation. The beginning part was all laughter and jokes. Then, he got a little more serious and talked about his life. He talked about his home. Leslie put a lot of emphasis on his home. He […]

Off-Guard Tonight 今夜不设防

by admin Jul 9, 2012 Comments

Their first episode! Retired actress Cherie Chung is a woman who can kill with her eyes. Our 3 guys risked their lives to invite her on their show. They talked about marriage, asked her if she’s worried that her husband might get tired of her looks? Why bother to get married? Why not just cohabitate? […]

Off-Guard Tonight 今夜不设防

by admin Jul 9, 2012 Comments

This is Idy Chan. She shot to fame with Andy Lau in the very first make of 神雕侠侣. On this show, she talks about her ideal man and how she ran into her first love and he still gave her palpitations. Ni Kuang said something outrageous. He said that the ultimate aim of romance is […]
