Adam Lambert has been setting the benchmark since the first day of the latest season of American Idol. I do think that he has these gifts of singing and performing. He was already the star in the making and he certainly does not need to win it to land contracts. Fristly, Adam has the looks to fashion himself look a rock star. He has a versatile and great voice to match regardless if he is doing pop, rock or even classical. He has a stage persona and presence which comes naturally and even he owns the stairs on the American Idol stage where he would sometimes strut down with good timing. He even has a wicked twinkle in his eyes or perched lip to express an emotion and the way he is able to control and release his voice. He has been amazing all the time. Ditto for his song choices. I was most impressed with his rendition of Gary Jules and Tears For Fears' "Mad World" which I thought was out of this world. Even Simon Cowell gave him a standing ovation. It was u...

Ping G10 The best driver in the world is not Louis Hamilton, Alonso or Jensen Button. Before I declare to you the real McCoy, I want you to know that you have come to the right place if you are looking for reliable and unbiased information on golf equipments. I have also made the selection based on users' reviews, professional assessments including those that conducted tests without advertisement revenue, ratings from A list golf magazines and my personal usage and test.  As the saying goes: "Drive for show and putt for dough", the golf driver is perhaps the most difficult club to handle like a wild stallion to be tamed and subdued by virtue of the fact that it is not only the longest club in the bag but also the one with the lowest loft (except the putter). It doesn't help that over here in Asia, there isn't a strong culture of club-fitting especially for the driver and the standard combination they offer you are the stock ...

Ping Pong diplomacy was coined in the old days when Chinese and Ameerican head of states met diplomatically. This became a way of promoting friendship. The Chinese are so good at their chosen sports that today especially in ping pong or table tennis, they have nationals that have migrated and became a new citizen in a new country. Let's say you look at a competition schedule and it stated UK vs France and then the game is beamed live you would see two Chinese players at each other. When the greatness and mystery was unveiled, the world saw two of the greatest badminton and China's most legendary players in Tang aka The Thing and Hou who took the world by storm. The same could not be said of their soccer team but given their size and population, probability tells us that they could find Pele, Maradona, George Best, Lionel Messi, Beckanbauer there and possibly all at the same time too. But they would need to be imparted experience and knowledge from the best pros and their tra...

34,000 people around the world were just recently vying for a chance to land "the best job in the world" at the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland in Australia. The marketing gimmick earned some $110 million from an outlay of over $1 million. I didn't bother to apply although it was such a suitable dream job. A beaming Brit who sounded Welsh called Southall aced it. Kelong! This is smashing, at a place where you didn't need a watch and getting paid A$150k where when you feel like it you can talk to fishes or touch them. Just make sure you wash your hands after that so we don't start a fish flu. The second best job in the world are people who are financially free, retired, semi-retired or getting well laid off with a golden handshake. How about winning "Don't Forget The Lyrics"? I won't get there because I just hated filling in forms. You fill in forms at school, at work, at government agencies, for insurance claims, applying for credit c...

Aware Nobody paid attention to Aware until it made tabloid fodder. It if unfortunate that in life, politicking is everywhere and where politics are involved, it will lead to compromise including one's principles and when religion gets dragged in, it becomes a holier than thou situation. I didn't have to take sides and most of us have or have known people who are gays or lesbians with some among our family members, relatives, colleagues and friends. I have adn we should treat all of them with dignity and no different from how we treat others. I shall shun from going deeper to avoid death threats from various interest groups but I was aghast when I read Today papers on 1 May where some points on the issues at hand as regards to sexual education was published apparently from some online forums which raised it. I saw that the programme inlcuded statements made which mentioned neutrality on anal sex proclaiming it can be healthy if done with consentment and protection and al...
