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 [...]
The last time I was at KLCC was… I don’t remember when, and suddenly I’ve been there twice in two days. For work. Although I also had fun.
The first was the Nike Manchester United press conference on Friday. I’m no football fanatic – my allegiances usually lie with the better-looking team although I also [...]
He may be the guy behind one of Asian showbiz’s biggest scandals, but going by the ear-splitting enthusiasm of the crowd that had gathered for a glimpse of him, Edison Chen is well and truly forgiven. If he was even in trouble with his teenage fans at all in the first place.

This morning, I sat down and counted:
1 Grand Prix gala 1 AXN Challenge at 1 Utama 1 Malaysian Grand Prix 1 David Archuleta showcase 2 press conferences 2 sets of magazine deadlines 4 movies 4 interviews
… all in under two weeks.

This week, I met someone who looks exactly like he does in movies and photos,
and someone who looks way better in real life than he does in movies and photos.
Jackie Chan is surprisingly approachable, considering what a massive star he is, and Daniel Wu is really down to earth. I came [...]
It’s the end of February.
CL used to always say, “Before you know it, it’ll be Christmas!”
She said that all last year, from January right up till, well, Christmas.
This year however, we changed it. She’s turning 30 next year and so everytime she says, “Before you know it…,” everybody chimes in, “You’ll be [...]
The following email exchange takes place between 6.01pm and 6.33pm on 8 January 2009. R has just received a list of interview times for a bunch of up and coming Mandopop artistes and because I’m the only one who can conduct an interview in semi-decent Mandarin, I’m getting the assignment(s) – all three of them!

My job is not perfect and I’m not above indulging in a little whinge here and there, but right now, today, I want to say I’m really grateful that I get to do what I love, that I do not dread going in to work each morning, that I have the privilege of working with [...]
For the first time ever, I had a lunch appointment for work where we said grace before we ate. It was a follow-up meeting to a wedding story that I was doing, but we didn’t talk about the wedding. Instead, we talked about church, Christianity, travel, politics, work… It was one of the best conversations [...]
