I just had one of the best birthday dinners ever, at Zuko, a new restaurant opened by an enterprising ex-colleague. It was good seeing everyone again. You could spout absolute nonsense and everybody would know what you were punning about. Anyway, it’s worth checking the restaurant out for good Modern European fare. One of the …

This is extremely ‘boliao’* but I just discovered how to transform voices in Logic Pro 7. It is extremely simple and requires a click or two with the mouse. For a limited period of time, readers can post requests here, making me say silly things, and choosing to convert them into the tones of any …
Just got back from Jazz rehearsal. It’s been going along well, although I think my right arm needs the attentions of a masseuse after playing several rounds of Blue Rondo. Kottonwool sent me a link to Penguin Books’ Remixed competition, where you can download soundbytes from their audio books, mix in your own music and …
Congratulations for the amazing comeback. Surely when you were 3 goals down, you’d think there was no more hope. Even Maradona didn’t think so. Then it was time for the other captain to score, and the tables started to turn. Then your goalkeeper did the dance of his predecessor, confounding the penalty takers, and history …
The only thing on my mind, actually, is the Champion’s League final. I was already pretty chuffed to hear that Arsenal picked up the FA Cup. My Shanghai hotel’s Star Sports channel hung for days and nobody bothered to fix it, so I had to reply on SMS reports. Any mishap that happened to me …
An extremely long post on what I did in Shanghai, which then digresses into an analysis of Chinese population trends, the environment, health and brand positioning. You have been warned…
H and A got married yesterday and we Bristolians had a great time at the dinner. I was really happy for the two of them, and H was moved to tears on a few occasions. I wondered if I too would ever experience such overpowering love for someone else. The ballroom was smaller than expected, …
To make up for not posting in the last week (some Daily Weblog this is, eh), here are a couple of other updates: My back. I saw a company doctor last week, who diagnosed me in about half a minute as having ‘muscular spasms’ in my back. I am quite certain the muscle aches are …
… that’s most likely the name of my new jazz band. Considering that we have little else in common save for the fact that each member comes from a different Anglican Church in Singapore. The drummer’s from St John’s-St Margaret’s, the bassist is from St James’, the second keyboardist is from St Andrew’s and yours …
I’m currently in 3 different music groups. My still-nameless jazz band, for which I haven’t had the strength nor patience to score Dave Brubeck’s Blue Ronda a la Turka which is due for our practice session on Friday. Concert’s in June, not very prepared for it. Company choir. Just wrote 2 songsheets for Amigos Para …
