I lost my house key last night. It’s the first time I’ve ever lost a house key and I’m none too pleased with myself. I put it in my bag together with my mobile phone and it must have dropped out when I took out the phone to make several calls. That’s the only explanation [...]
I am a little annoyed with Kenny G today, because I dreamt in the wee hours of this morning that he was gay. I know it’s not his fault and I really have nothing against gay people; I’m just a little peeved because I woke up really tired, as one tends to when they’ve [...]
I auditioned to be a radio DJ today. It was totally unplanned – a couple of my colleagues were going and I tagged along out of curiosity. Unfortunately, what was really only a 15 minute exercise became over an hour, and I, more bored than anything, agreed to audition to “make my time worthwhile”. Besides, [...]
It’s a question I’ve been giving much thought to of late. When someone asks me how I am, my automatic response used to be: “Good. Been busy with work. The usual.” Then one day I realised it sounded as if my entire life revolved around work, so nowadays I say: “Good. Working hard but playing [...]
As a celebrity and entertainment writer, I do a fair amount of interviews with actors and singers and the like. I don’t get flown to Los Angeles or Europe to meet these people, but I get to talk to them over the phone, or maybe even see them if they’re in town and I get [...]
We thought it was a lizard, or worse, a mouse. But not even mice make such high-pitched squeaking sounds. Besides, how did a mouse get into a box full of press kits and folders anyway?
We thought it was a cicada – it was small and black and perched at the bottom of the box. [...]
Hubby was doing his customary channel surfing when we came across an episode of Gossip Girl that we’d already seen.
Me: (Points to Carter) He’s rumoured to be going out with… what’s her name again?
Hubby: Who?
Me: Serena’s best friend.
Hubby: Blair.
Me: Yes, Blair. He’s rumoured to be going out with Blair.

One of our mags had a movie screening last night and the first two readers to redeem their free tickets were entitled to a bottle of wine. Unfortunately, there was no official queue because a table had not been set up for us, and as a result, nobody quite knows who really got there first. [...]
I’ve just gotten back from dinner with my dad… in-law. It’s funny how when you get married you suddenly have two mothers to think of on mothers’ day, and two dads to consider on fathers’ day. Y and I have been married almost three years and he still has trouble getting the words ‘mum’ and [...]
This is probably one of the most deluded articles I’ve read in a while.
Besides the fact that it disrespects what I thought was an admirable and fantastic effort on the part of the artistes involved in ‘Here In My Home’, it’s also so incredibly misinformed and ridiculous that I actually [...]
