When it comes to Asian singers, there aren’t a whole lot that I really like and admire. But Jay Chou is one of them. I think he is a brilliant songwriter and he was open, chatty, funny and a little quirky throughout my (group) interview with him so it was great. Lin Chi Ling [...]
As promised, my videos of Five Strangers performing at Rama V, KL. Unfortunately the quality of these recordings, which were taken with my trusty super-old Sony Cybershot, leave much to be desired but I assure you the band sounded much better live. I hear this may have been their first and last gig together, [...]
Y and G with their band Five Strangers during their (first ever) gig at Thai restaurant Rama V on Tuesday night. Unfortunately this was the best photo I managed because I didn’t want to move from my seat and I didn’t want to use my flash (read: all the other photos had at [...]
You probably know the feeling: you’re watching a movie in a cinema when all of a sudden, there’s a rude thump on the back of your seat. You ignore it – perhaps your fellow moviegoer accidentally kicked your seat stretching their legs. Then it happens again. You ignore it still. And again. And again. By [...]
Being neither Team Edward nor Team Jacob (that is what they call them, yes?), I actually didn’t plan on watching this. I saw Twilight but that was on DVD and way after all the initial hype had come and gone. I remember thinking how amazing it was that such a mediocre film could incite such [...]
As someone who gets to interview celebrities – thanks to my job – I’ve had the privilege of chatting with some of the most talented and interesting people I’ll ever meet. As someone who also reads, speaks and writes Mandarin – thanks to my dad who insisted upon my Chinese education – I couldn’t help [...]
One of my highlights of the past month – attending the Black Eyed Peas press conference when they were in town. I know these photos are a little late but the Peas were huge then, they’re huge today and I’m pretty sure they’re still going to be huge tomorrow.
The one thing I will [...]
2AM. They don’t speak English too well but they sure can sing.
Estranged. This is the actual view from where my seat was. So I found a better corner and maximised my camera’s zoom function.
Raygun. Their single ‘Just Because’ is really growing on us in the office.
Pixie Lott. She’s [...]
There are several reasons why I love doing what I do. Meeting talented, interesting and nice people (good-looking is just a bonus) and getting to hear their stories probably ranks on top. I’ve never been very good at telling my stories; I always feel the dramatic ones are overly melodramatic and almost everything else is [...]
I still can’t quite believe that you are gone. I know I wrote two pieces on you today for work, but those photos we ran of you make me feel as if you are still very much alive.
The industry, the country, is mourning. I don’t know if you realise how many lives you have [...]
