Tanah Lot Sunset
The highlight of the first day with Dewa Marco, a driver I’ve decided to coin as “The Best Driver in Bali”, was our sunset visit to Tanah Lot. This temple sits on a rock formation and is set some distance
The Place
The flight was pretty pleasant and smooth, and we arrived at Tepi Sawah Villa at 5 pm on Saturday afternoon after weaving in and out of Bali traffic for nearly an hour. Our suite, Pedang Villa, pales a little in
Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-Bag
I started creating the Excel spreadsheet for my packing list to Bali several months ago. Yep, it’s still that Excel spreadsheet fetish I’ve got. Funnily, that fetish has rubbed off on Ling too. These days whenever she makes an overseas
"Praise My Soul The Kingdom of Heaven"
I adore hymns. I’ve blogged here about my playing of hymns as the ACS School Pianist 24 years ago before. I love hearing and singing with a large congregation songs of majesty and praise, accompanied by a pipe organ. Just
Oh she can play (but finds excuses not to) :P
One of the things we had to decide when we were making plans to move into The Rivervale was whose piano would go to the house. It was, surprisingly, a pretty easy decision. Both of us had pianos at our

Creature Creation
A couple of students and staff (including myself!) from the department were at the Singapore Zoo the other day for a talk given by Will Wright, the very famous game industry person and designer of the upcoming Spore game. I
Olympic panorama
Here’s one of the most amazing panoramic shots I’ve seen… like ever! Someone created a 360 degree view of the Beijing Olympics stadium just before the 100m finals: Link right here.:) Use the SHIFT, CTRL, and hold-mouse to zoom in
Excel-obsessive
Well, I’m taking a breather from the Olympics postings and onto something more mundane—home utilities.:) There are two Excel spreadsheets I keep and update on a daily basis. One is for the latest toys and gadgets, and the other is
"Oh, say can you see…"
I was humming along while the American national anthem was played during the awards presentation for another gold medal win at the Olympics the other night. Ling then turned and asked if I knew the words to the anthem, and
