My Dia Frampton interview

soph — Mon, 07 May 2012 03:05:15 +0000

A while ago, I blogged about how excited I was to be interviewing Dia Frampton. Finally, here’s a link to the story, which was recently published in hot Magazine, Issue 194. I had to shorten it for print due to space restraints, but you can read the full-length version here. (Please [...]

Project 365 – March

soph — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 02:40:52 +0000

Happy to report that March was a lot more productive, taking photos-wise. Here are a few – turns out it was a pretty good month for events. Check out the rest.

036: At the launch of Stephen Rahman-Hughes’ debut Malay album. What a voice.

038: A fantastic semifinal match, even [...]

Sometimes, I get lucky

A bunch of us colleagues and ex-colleagues (and a boyfriend) got together for brunch last Saturday morning. A small reunion of sorts, if you will.

Four of us had left, one had gone freelance (that would be yours truly), and there had been many changes to the company since, but as far as we were [...]

“Do what you love, and do it often”

A little bit of awesomeness to start the still-new year. Taken from here.

Never say never, but…

Some time ago, I wrote about how I was (and still am) on this quest to figure out what my dreams are and what I want. It was liberating and exciting, and it’s something I’m glad I did. That said, I’m now learning that maybe not all my dreams are achievable, and that’s okay.

Feeling a little ‘Unwell’ with The Kitchen Musical

soph — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 02:55:31 +0000

One of my favourite tracks from The Kitchen Musical, which I’ve been trying to catch every week. Also, this was kind of our theme song for a while when my sister and I were living together in Melbourne.

Friends tell me that watching a show in non-HD (what’s the correct term for that?) doesn’t [...]

Taking a stand for passion

soph — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 03:19:07 +0000

My brother is currently doing his A-Levels and planning to read law in university. My mum is over the moon. She had wanted me to do law, and if none of her four children are going to be doctors – my youngest sister is studying veterinary science but that doesn’t really count with Chinese parents [...]

Mummy’s really big day out

soph — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 03:28:56 +0000

Maybe it was the fact that I’ve only travelled once – to Melbourne in December last year – in the 15 months since Kaylin arrived. That I would be doing press for The Kitchen Musical didn’t hurt, being a huge musical fan myself.

I’ll admit to being a little skeptical about the show at first, [...]

Interview: Hoobastank

soph — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 02:43:01 +0000

I managed to catch MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia 2011 on the telly yesterday, and although nothing beats watching Jared Leto’s eyes the concert live and on giant HD screens, I stayed with it anyway. As I had been at the concert, I was struck by the energy and passion of the performances, and [...]

Reclaiming my life: What would I do if I were single?

soph — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 03:13:07 +0000

In conjunction with my 29th birthday next month, among other reasons, I am dedicating the next 12 months to me. Without realising it, I’ve become complacent about my life, preferring instead to let each day/week/month pass me by far too easily. It’s time to stop and give myself a good kick up the arse.

Where [...]
