beach bum.....
Stupidest thing I ever did:
Apart from standing behind Rod in the morning? using up all my leave this year
so I can't go to London for Christmas. Arrrrgh, I could kick myself!!!!
People you want to meet and why?

did you break mia's heart like that?"
The most hated human characteristic:
I can't hate this enough - PRETENTIOUSNESS!!!! Why do people have to put on
these fronts and why do some lame-o people fall for it?!!

"In the end, there can be only one!"- That was what my friends told me while I
was spending nights, tossing and turning in my bed, anxiously waiting for the
reults of the "Breakfast Idol". Marginally winning the competition was only the
beginning of another chapter of my life. So here I am every Monday to Friday
from 6 to 10 am, keeping you company with great music and stupid jokes with the
Wonder Tai Tai, Denise Tan.
Steve Loh
You could describe Steve Loh as the strong and silent type. Really. He's the guy
responsible for all the sporting news and action you hear on Sports On. A man of
few words, he's been known to give Rod Monteiro as good as he gets where wise
cracks are concerned on AM Jam. Off air, Steve heads the Sports Department on
Power 98 and rallies the boys together for a game of basketball. He's really the
kinda guy you'll want to take home to mom... but don't tell him that!
Rod Monteiro
Rod
Hi. I’m Rod Monteiro. Actually my full-name is Rodney Arthur Monteiro, but to
use my full-name would turn my show into a talk show. So you can call me Rod. I
must tell you that I absolutely love going on radio. The friends I’ve made over
the air are amazing. I look forward to going on air everyday, and well … I love
it.
On music: I like, well … more American music. I’m a bit alternative although I
do listen to jazz, hip hop and some classical music. I really don’t like house
music though.
On health: Oh boy, I love sports! Football, cycling, swimming… I do it all.
On nature: I love animals… I have a little zoo at home. A lot of animals, yeah.
Well there you go. If you wanna know more, listen to Power 98 LAH!!!

Describe your most memorable encounter with a fan
It has got to be Patrick. Patrick faxed me one day. Fax went: "Hi Rod, I am
Patrick. I am handicapped and I sell Big Sweep. I listen to you all the time and
I like your show." So I rang him up and told him that I was going to visit him.
When I met him, he was so excited and now we are friends.
My favourite hangout is ...
At home, never wear underwear at home, boy! Do I hang out… actually at Bar None.
When no one's looking, I ...
Feel left out … look at me lah! I have an inferiority complex.
If you see me around ...
Say HI. Come on, I don’t bite … although a nip or two could be fun.
If I could choose to be any singer, I'd be ...
Very rich … I hope !!!

First of all, HARLOW! Haha. Well to start off, I must thank you for supporting
and listening to us. To me, it’s always a mighty pleasure just to entertain you
and spin you the hits, because you deserve it! It was in early 1999 that I
joined Power 98. I just love every minute of it because radio has been my
passion in life and just to be involved in it in some way is just terrific! In
case you've never heard of me, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?! I’m just kidding. Welcome
to the family!!
Here's the Justin you probably didn't know: I'm an emotional kind of guy (I
cried at Armageddon!!), I love sports (can't live without it), my hair is always
a talking point (that's why they say I STAND OUT, get it? haha), I love nature
(especially the sea) and I try to live a life without regrets! And hey, don't
even hesitate to call me up on the Weekend Slam (Sundays, 9am to 1pm) if you
wanna chat because I would just love that! I think I’m beginning to sound like
SDU! haha.
Hope I've made a difference in your life (well I tried...) seeya... love ya all!

whatever happens, strange or not, I just take it in my stride.
I really REALLY want to interview...!!
David Beckham
... and I’d ask him
"How in the world do you put up with all that publicity?!"
"How's it like playing for the BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD?" Glory Glory Man Utd!
Describe your most memorable encounter with a fan
Well I would say FANS. It happened during the A1 autograph session. When Jeremy
Ratnam (my buddy/ on air partner) introduced me as J.A., I think about 2000
people screamed "HARLOW!" altogether!! Cloud 9 doesn't even begin to describe
how I felt then! If you were there, THANK YOU!! *Muak*
My favourite hangout is ...
HOME!! I don't spend too much time at home (hi mom!). So when I’m home, I feel
real good! If not, you'll probably spot me at Holland Village but seldom at
Orchard Road!
When no one's looking, I ...
can let my hair down, literally!! (and trust me, you DON'T want to see that!)
If you see me around ...
For goodness sake, don't shy... I DON’T bite, come up and say HARLOW!!! Did I
mention I don't charge for hugs and kisses? I’m dying to meet you....
If I could choose to be any singer, I'd be ...
Darren Hayes. The emotion he pumps into every single SG track is so phenomenal,
I wish I could really experience that!
Playing your favourite tracks, find out what songs are HOT on "You Asked For

DENISE
on The Breakfast Club - Mondays to Fridays, 7 to 10am
I’m excitable, I’m loud, I’m dramatic, give me an audience and off I go... I’m a
total ham (hey, but I can be serious too)! Probably because I was (and always
will be) an actress before I became a Producer/Presenter for Power 98. I love
the stage, I love performance arts, I love to sing, to dance, to act. But I also
love my new job, which I feel is an extension of my previous job. Radio is all
about performance too, but I want to be real to the listeners, I want my true
personality to come through and touch people, rather than to hide behind a role.
And I want my show to be fun, complete with good music. Keeping the listeners
happy is the most important to me, that’s why I love requests and dedications –
I try very hard to play all the songs they want to hear. And it really makes my
day (or should I say night?) when a listener who calls in knows my name and we
can have a really cool conversation. Oh the humanity!

Can I pass? I have too many to name, all I can say is I like alternative gee-tar
music, R & B, Drum and Bass, Standard Jazz, Acid Jazz, Lounge Core and groovy
music from the 60’s and 70’s (I’m a hippie chick at heart who’s stuck in a time
warp)!
All-time favourite song!
Again, too many to mention – I kiasu, lah! But these 3 come pretty close:
California by Joni Mitchell. Me and Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin. Don’t You
Forget About Me by The Simple Minds.
Brr!!! The strangest thing that has happened to me is ...
The time I was robbed in Leeds City Centre by a saffron-robed, bald headed,
monk. I was carrying bags of groceries and walking home to my student digs when
I was approached by this monk (he was English, by the way) for contributions and
to sign some petition. I was cold, I was hungry, I was on a tight student
budget, so I politely declined. He was insistent and finally, he made away with
my large Chinese cabbage! I kid you not!!! He wouldn’t take no for a answer...
No money, no problem... he was quite happy to walk away with my food! So there
you are, a white monk robbed me of a Chinese cabbage in broad daylight, in the
middle of the city!
I really REALLY want to interview ... !!!
Johnny Depp... for obvious and frivolous reasons... He is a yum yum scrumptious
man!
... and I'd ask him
" why he’s with that pouting little French starlet Vanessa Paradiz when he could
be with MOI!!! "
Describe your most memorable encounter with a fan
I once had a week of complete entertainment from a very nice chap who went by
the alias of Ben (as in Scott Speedman of Felicity)... He sent me faxes daily
with a little puzzle I had to work on to guess the song he wanted. I had
recipes, a crossword puzzle, to name a few. And it was just very nice to have
someone appreciate your efforts on air and to put in some effort to make his
request and dedication interesting and entertaining. But that said, I’ve had
really supportive and encouraging listeners who’ve warmed to me and I to them in
the very short time I’ve actually been on air (less than 2 months).
My favourite hangout is ...
any place that accommodates insomniacs like me! I guess that would make it any
place that’s 24 hours, comfortable, quiet, with food and drink and friends...
When no one's looking, I ...
pick my nose and eat it!!! Hehee...
I’M JOKING!!!!! Seriously, I like to pretend I’m a famous star and I preen in
front of the mirror, spouting lines and singing (blush!).
If you see me around ...
then I’m not asquare! Heehee again...
If I could choose to be any singer, I’d be ...
anyone who’s made it on Broadway or the Westend. It takes a lot of talent,
skill, training and discipline to perform live 8 times a week without losing
steam or your voice. And you can’t hide behind super sound engineers in a
recording studio. What you see is what you get and you’d better be good!

Hamish
I feel like I am a most atypical Leo. Yes, the nature of my work puts me in the
spotlight but off-stage, I would like to be as far away from it as possible. I
love life, I feel I haven’t seen enough of the world and would still like to go
on a looong.. vacation from Fiji to Finland to France all in one go over the
course of 2 to 3 months.
Radio remains close to my heart and I feel more freedom in this media as opposed
to TV because there is more latitude to put the real me across as opposed to
showing off only the stylish side. I dabble in cooking now and then, and am on
the lookout for new recipes. More importantly, I am also in need of guinea pigs
to try the results on!
Still a film buff and always will be, I am now devoting more time to
scriptwriting and developing ideas into celluloid reality!

Describe your most memorable encounter with a fan
Well I was on air once, basically just doing what I usually do. And that’s to
give my two cents about this and that, and trying to put in a wisecrack here and
there. And being relatively new, I didn't really know whether I was being lame
or not but then a caller rang up and even though it wasn't a particular in-depth
and lengthy conversation. What really struck me was when she said that she had
been having a real lousy day and that I had lifted her spirits and made her
smile. Although she didn't tell me why she was down, it was just really touching
to know that just by being myself, I had actually made an impact on someone's
day and maybe put a smile on their face. I don't know about all other radio
presenters, but my personal goal in being on air is to make a difference and
realise it. And on that particular day, I guess I did, and that's the best
feeling in the world (except for maybe chicken rice).
My favourite hangout is ...

Yikes! Hmmm... I find it very hard to describe myself. Those closest to me would

I do have a shy and very sensitive side. Sometimes I am intimidated by crowds

quite pragmatic and yet I have alot of idealistic values and principles.

A BIOGRAPHY
Sebastian Sim is of Peranakan descent and converses with ease in English,
Mandarin and Malay. An extrovert by nature, Sebastian is naturally humorous and
quick-witted. He holds true to his Sagittarian star sign of having the innate
ability to thrive on stage.
Sebastian’s foray into show business began during his National Service. From
passing-out-parades to military visits, Sebastian was the default choice for
host and was given the honor to be the Master of Ceremony for the Combined
Passing-Out-Parade, between the Singapore Armed Forces, Police and Civil Defence,
celebrating 30 years of National Service.
A people-oriented individual boasting of a fun and spontaneous style of
communication, Sebastian’s trademark fast, lively expression is both engaging
and effective. Sebastian is a regular face on the events circuit, having hosted
a wide repertoire of events that include the Singapore Symphony Orchestra
National Day concert at the Singapore River, "Rivers of the World" and MTV road
shows and events.
Hosting aside, Sebastian has established himself as a creditable voice talent.
His most noteworthy project was for the National Council Against Drug Abuse in
their interactive e-learning module for use in education institutes nationwide,
‘David’s Diary’. Sebastian also voices commercials for numerous reputable
international brands like Mazda, 20th Century Fox, Toshiba and Columbia Tristar
Pictures.
Sebastian’s break into television came when he landed a supporting role in the
telemovie ‘Coffee on Cream’, which was part of MediaCorp TV’s ‘Love Matters’
anthology. ‘Coffee on Cream’ was later nominated for ‘Best Single Drama or
Telemovie’ at the Asian Television Awards 2002.
Within a year, Sebastian landed roles in a considerable number of other local
productions for MediaCorp TV including ‘Heartlanders 2’, ‘Restless’ and the
critically acclaimed ‘The Singapore Short Story Project’, which bagged several
awards at the Asian Television Awards 2003. Sebastian also hosted the children’s
program ‘Under My Sun’ for Kids Central. In addition, he has done several docu-dramas
including ‘True Courage’, which hit record ratings. Sebastian recorded a
milestone in his thriving career as an actor when he landed his first television
lead role in the telemovie ‘Birthday Party’, which premiered for MediaCorp TV’s
‘No Place Like Home’ anthology.
Sebastian’s more recent productions include the third season of We Are R.E.M,
the second season of Blueprints, the second season of ‘Oh Carol’, and ‘Whizzes
Of The Void Deck’ for Kids Central. On top of that, Sebastian has also worked on
several short films including ‘Outsiders’ and ‘Bipolar’, which debuted this year
at the Commonwealth Film Festival in Manchester, England.
Birthdate:
9 August 1972 - I do not accept travellers cheques as presents!
Hobbies:
Anything that's sunworthy - swimming, tennis (I hurt my leg that way), roller
blading (I hurt my brains that way), lying in a bathing suit that cuts off
circulation. Like I said, anything sunworthy.
Favorite Animal:
Dogs
Favorite Actor/Actress:
Got to be Richard Gere. So versatile his face. Sad, happy, angry, shocked - ONE
LOOK says it all! And he gets paid all that money for that one look! (I'm joking
in case it isn't obvious!) Actually, my favourite was and will always be (drum
roll) Jerry Lewis - THE KING OF COMEDY!!
Favorite Artiste:
No Particular favourites, although a few do catch my attention. Barry White and
Aretha Franklin among them. I'm a pseudo-sistah (to be pronounced that way)!!
Favorite Color:
Red - people who love red are very passionate! How true is that? I'll tell you
after the wedding night!
Favorite Food:
Satay
Favorite Drink:
Coffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Favorite Movie:
Nikita. Okaylah, a bit the old but still a good show.
Childhood Ambition:
I wanted to be Marie Osmond. No joke. I was a kid when I saw them on TV. After
that I used to use my mom's soup ladle as a microphone. It was either that or I
remember wanting to be Wonder Woman. Problem was, I got too dizzy after half a
turn!!
Stupidest thing I ever did:
Let's see now, do you mean alphabetically or chronologically?? This is both
embarrassing and stupid, drop the "o" in Counting Crows and what do you get?
(pause) yes, I said that and everybody heard!!
People you want to meet and why? The guy who brought in STARBUCKS and COFFEE
BEANS and TEA LEAVES - He's my hero!! (see favourite drink) Also, the guy who
came up with the concept of BAYWATCH - so I can slap his face and ask him what's
going through his mind when he mooted the programme????
The most hated human characteristic:
Stubbornness - tiring you know, trying to persuade someone like that to
compromise so that everyone can finally go home and sleep!!
