Saturday, 20 August 2011  Who's that on the telly?  When I was a
little boy, lying in my bed in Jalan Wijaya at night, listening
to the chirping crickets and the croaking toads in the monsoon

England and living a totally diferent life back there. I
couldn't have imagined future inventions such as colour
televisions, cassette players or walkmans. Now, there's mobile
phones, ipods, ipads and, of course, the internet. All this
weird modern stuff would have seemed like something from one of
the many tv shows, that I loved watching as a kid in Singapore
and Malaya, like Star Trek or Lost in Space. I certainly
wouldn't have imagined that one day I'd  be on the telly myself
talking about our life back then. So, it was a strange
experience when Sitting In Pictures asked me to record a bit for
their show 'Foodage'. Sohkiak Chang had already sent me the
first episode via the internet and I was pleased to see all the
people that I'd made friends with in Sing
