It’s already 6 full bleeping days into 2014 but I’m still not done with the awesomeness of last year. Even in the spectacular mountain range of YESSSS! which I have been hiking since 2009, 2013 was a pretty outstanding peak. Wonderful moments are difficult to distill into neat little bullet points, but I’m going to have […]

2013: Oh What A Year. (Let me say that again.) OH WHAT A YEAR. In the final weeks of 2013, the interwebs were rife with Best-Of lists. I love me a Best-Of list, and there are some truly stellar compilations out there. It’s 5 days into 2014, but I’m still obsessing over various Best-of lists […]

I spent the past weekend in a full-blown rockabilly/ doo-wop kick. This could be blamed on having recently spent the most gloriously enjoyable Friday night in an awesome little pub where a live band of 40-somethings cranked out the 50s and a mob no younger than 60 shuffled, grooved and jived on the puny dancefloor, […]

It’s that time of the year again when Singaporeans suddenly remember there’s this place called “Kalimantan” where things are burning, and it sucks cos the air gets smoky and shit, and why isn’t the government doing anything, and how come we still have to go to work. Where is that stupid Kalimantan anyway? Is it […]

It feels like I only go backwards darling So this blog post is nothing revolutionary, but it is about a recent revelation that is nothing short of a complete change of my heart, mind and soul. Namely: Working Hard is Bull-Effin-Shit. ~ Tame Impala, “Feels Like We Only Go Backwards” ~ It seems that I […]

Turning th..thir…th…thirt…twenty-five sure makes one dreamily reminiscent about those darned teen years. I had my parents, the one or two friends I actually had who were real human beings and my penchant for reading soppy books about ballet to thank for my musical tastes pre-13; after that, peer pressure and mainstream radio took centerstage. (Perfect […]

HOO-HIPPY-RAY! You’ve started a business! You’ve signed a few deals. Sold some shits. Shaken all those grubby hands. You’ve got it made! You’re on your way up! You’re rollin’ in the hunnies! But wait. WHERE’S THE MONEY? In Business Lessons from the ‘Hai Part 1, I’ve described how important it is to have […]

In the City That Rains Champagne, admittedly for an exalted few, business opportunities abound and barriers to entry are low. But you know what they say, getting in there is easy, it’s the squalling little brat popping out after nine months that’s tough to handle. This post will be one in a series of business […]

Shanghai, I’m breaking up with you. There’s nothing wrong with you. It’s been a beautiful 2+ years. You’re beautiful. I’m beautiful. We’re all beautiful. But maybe we’re too beautiful for each other. This city is about 50 times the size of my home village country, but it’s still not big enough for the both of […]

While I was researching songs for Breakup Victims, I came across many maudlin, snivelling samples of pop tracks. You know what I mean – those of the How Am I Supposed To Live Without You ilk. Now, in our darkest moments, even the best of us are liable to reach for the familiar, the most […]
