Watch Channel NewsAsia . You can catch it on your terrestrial channel in Singapore and in 23 other countries and regions via cable and/or satellite. And if lucky, you might catch me reporting. I'm the one and only Japan Correspondent for the channel.

If you've been a shortwave freak for sometime, you may have heard me on NHK Radio Japan. I've been presenting its English language program every Saturday for years featuring entertainment and sports. Our team even travelled outside of Tokyo for an open studio show.

If not, perhaps you've caught me on "Today's Japan"--an English language news program produced by NHK and shown in many parts of the world. I've anchored Asia Business News on the program for the insomniacs-- 'ABC World News Now'. I've also been on domestic radio Tokyo FM , DJing live every Friday afternoon on a show called "Twilight Express".

I have worked extensively on sports coverage--as a reporter, interviewer and writer. However, my most recent job prevents me from pursuing sports as much as I used too. But I'll do the best I can to update this site!
