I haven’t sounded very supportive of my favourite team, have I? Well, this evening’s match began with a very exciting goal from Julio Baptista, who then went on to miss a few other good chances that surely our top strikers would not have. The only problem is that two of our top strikers aren’t around, …

I haven’t written much about football lately. That’s because there hasn’t been much for me to shout about, has there? Well, I hope the Gunners stay in 4th position and maybe try for 3rd, though it makes little difference. It’s simply not their time. I’m not even sure if it’s going to be their time …
I am pleased to announce that my “PHP Includes” problem has been resolved. Thank you to my readers who did suggest the right things. Just that it was a combination of many suggestions and not just changing just one component, which in itself did not work. I had to remove the “@” sign (which I …

Unsurprisingly, the final two horse race in France is between Nicolas Sarkozy and Segolene Royal.

The catch to starring in a big musical that everyone’s heard of many times before, is that it is difficult to produce an exceptional performance, because the standards are already high. It was the same for this sellout performance at the …
Just experimenting with Digg tools on this blog. Things may prove embarrassing 50 posts later if nothing actually gets dugg. Big, fat zeroes… we don’t like seeing that in Singapore schools, unless it’s preceded by the number ‘1’.
The second day of the Marketing to Women conference was just as good, if not better, than the first. At least there was no sales pitch today. Frankly, I find companies who try too hard to sell their products or services at conferences, are actually doing themselves a disservice. Firstly, it shows that you don’t …
I was just sharing this story with a Singaporean who’s starting a local songwriter’s circle. I’ve decided to share it with the rest of you, too. Several years ago, my mum and I went on a tour of Spain. One night we were on a cruise ship and there was a dinner party. The band …
