One good thing about being stuck at home for close to two months?I have much more time and energy to work out (coz I don’t have to be stuck in traffic for three hours every day)! I’ve been doing it quite consistently since the start of the quarantine, and although things kicked off slow, there have been some encouraging results (which I will document in … Continue reading 5 Workout Songs To Get You Going
Hey guys! It’s currently day 36 of the movement control order here in Malaysia. To be honest, I’ve been way more productive with work than I was at the office. Some people find it difficult to work from home due to distractions or family commitments (parents with kids, for example – I can imagine how difficult it is to video call your boss while you’re … Continue reading What’s On My Playlist Vol. 5 : Quarantine Edition
Hello and welcome back to another edition of What’s On My Playlist ! (does that sound like the opening of a game show of some sort? lol). I don’t know if it’s nostalgia, but lately, I find myself listening to a lot of songs that I used to love back in my college days. I was a self-professed ’emo’ : all-black get-up, heavy eyeliner, long … Continue reading What’s On My Playlist Vol.4 – February 2020

People who know me know that I’m impartial to musical genres: I’d just as much listen to metal as I would classical, pop, alt-rock or dance, as long as the melody and/or the voice suits me. And while I do have favourite songs, I’ve always been able to enjoy them each as separate entities – it’s not fair to compare a band like Placebo with … Continue reading The Singer Who Spoiled Every Other Song For Me – Dimash Kudaibergen
One of the things I like most about travelling is exploring neighbourhoods solo.Experience has taught me that when travelling in a crowd, everyone has diverse interests, so walking around on my own gives me the freedom to focus on things that I like, without feeling rushed. That being said, it’s also important to be alert, since you are in a foreign land – but I … Continue reading AC/DC Lane – Melbourne’s Tribute To Rock And History
It’s not often that we get an international theater production to play in Malaysia, so I was understandably excited when I got two tickets to watch The Phantom of the Opera live at Istana Budaya, Kuala Lumpur. The musical is based on the book by French writer Gaston Leroux, with music by world-renowned composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. The Ed and I got there early to … Continue reading Review: The Phantom Of The Opera Live In Kuala Lumpur 2019 @ Istana Budaya, KL
Time flies when you’re having fun. Heck, it flies even when you’re not. So it’s been almost a year since my last What’s On My Playlist? video. Someone once told me that the older you get, the less likely you are to listen to new songs. I find that to be true, given the stuff they’ve been playing on the radio these days. That’s not … Continue reading What’s On My Playlist: Vol. 3 – May 2019
