Snow in Singapore??

With episode one of The Amazing Race Asiaon the airwaves, it's time to bring up some other "amazing" things.

I couldn't believe it!  Yesterday, it actually snowed here in Singapore:

If you didn't know, Singapore is located right near the equator so the general climate here is tropical, which is hot and humid with sudden rainshowers.

Better Late than Never

I should've done this a long time ago, but it's better late than never.  If you got kids or friends with kids, then I highly recommend this children's activity book from first time published author Li Lin Wong called Perceptive Play!, especially with Christmas coming right up.  I hear it's pretty good
...and would be a lot of fun for...Read more

Here We Go...Episode One

A tlast, the second season of The Amazing Race Asia is off and racing.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch the live telecast last night, but I hope you did.  If so, what'd you think??

Starting off the race for the second season was as crazy and exciting as the first.  All the teams were totally amped to get the race on the road.  With how well the first season did, we knew this first episode really had to "pop."  Little did we know teams like Henri/Terry and Monica/Ed would already be "poppin" o...Read more

The Race is On...Soon

A few hours from nowin Singapore, the premiere of the second season of The Amazing Race Asia will telecast.  Unfortunately, I won't be able to view it because I'll be working with Audi as they launch their newest and baddest sportscar, The Audi R8. 

However, I'll be sure to write about the first episode and what happened behind-the-camera along the way so make sure you stay tuned.

Hopefully, you can catch the race because I'm sure you'll enjoy it! 

Soon to Arrive

Well, the second season of The Amazing Race Asia is right around the corner, and it's great to hear that people are really excited about it.  In fact, people have already been asking me how they can sign up for Season Three.  I don't even know if there will be another season, but we can all wish for it, especially since Santa Claus will be crashing your neighborhood Chimney next month.  Regardless...Read more

Nike Plus Charity Run

Recently, NIKE asked Li Lin and me whether we would be interested in being the spokespersons for the NIKE Charity Run.  We both believed it was a great way for people to get in shape while helping the children at the "Make-A-Wish" charity foundation so we both agreed to do it.

The concept is simple.  All the participants have to do is hook up their iPod nano to their NIKE Plus running ...Read more

Media Preview Screening for TARA2 in Singapore

We're one week away from the premiere of the second season of The Amazing Race Asia so it's time to kick the buzz up a notch.  Tonight, AXN and Caltex organized a special media preview screening for all the press and media here in Singapore.  The turnout was phenomenal, and the response was proof positive.  Everyone there was just psyched about the arrival of Season Two.  And after watching everyone's reaction from the first episode, I really think this show will be worth all of your time...and you&#...Read more

Vintage MTV

Yesterday, I had the opportunity of doing a television commercial for Tang Department stores here in Singapore.  My partner-in-crime was ex-MTV VJ Sonia Couling, who was flown in from Bangkok to do this.  The funny thing is that I was once an MTV VJ back when I lived in Taiwan, which basically makes us by-products of the MTV lineage.  Unfortunately, I didn't take any shots from the shoot, but here's a poster I did for the big MTV summer concert in Taipei a while back:

Good Bears always use Trojans

This past weekend was a rough ride.  I went out for a friend's birthday party and found myself hungover all Sunday, which is something I haven't been accustomed to for quite some time.  The funny thing is you tell yourself you won't do it again, and the next thing I know I'm feeling completely under the weather.

On top of that, my alma mater, U.C. Berkeley, has been a complete disappointment themselves.  Touted as one of the biggest college football match-ups before the season started, the California Gold...Read more

Teasing without Spoiling

Alright, I figured it's about time to jot down my first blog.  Quite frankly, I've never been a big fan of blog sites, but I've come to realize what a great tool of communication it can be to reach out to everyone without shoving your real and/or cyber life down their throats...or email box.  With blogging, you can decide whether to read what I'm rambling on about or just choose to not visit the site.  However, I do hope you enjoy what's being laid out here and you are entertained along the way.

Now with t...Read more
