Seems to me that this month is the month of criticism with the latest one comes from work. It is as though this unknown force has a quota to fulfill before year end.
Anyway, I have decided to move the contents (and any future ones) that are more geared towards my life out of No Eye [...]

PJ Harvey’s Uh Huh Her
November 26th, 2004 · No Comments · Music Reviews, Pop Rock & Alternative
Whenever I am lost in my songwriting world, I always find my anchor through some of my favourite artists. PJ Harvey is one of them. My favourite PJ Harvey album? To Bring You My Love. Though I have to confess that I do like Stories From The Cities, Stories From The Sea a lot.
Uh Huh [...]

Horror Film Of The Year: SHUTTER
November 24th, 2004 · 3 Comments · Horror
Okay, I exaggerated. Mainly because none of my regular movie partners nor my wife is into horror film (except one of my best friend’s wife who is from Hong Kong too) and it is the one horror film I have watched since The Ring, I have to vote Shutter as the horror film of the [...]

Immortal, Blue Title, and Recording
November 24th, 2004 · No Comments · Diary
How coincidental this can be? My default movie going partner is now in Japan for his business trip. My wife is now in Bangkok in her business trip. And most of my friends were not available this night. Well, such a rare occasion that a foreign film was shown, I have to catch it regardlessly.

Immortal - A Foreign Film with Beautiful Soundtrack
November 24th, 2004 · 8 Comments · Fantasy & Sci-fi, Movie Reviews
Yet another foreign film showing at the Arts House, how can I resist? Immortal is a sci-fi film by the famed Yugoslav-born graphic novelist and director Enki Bilal. New York City 23rd centry with futuristic buildings and transportation infrastructure no less than The Fifth Element, where somehow all creatures live in different level. The highest [...]

A Long Walk + Digging Up the Ghost
November 22nd, 2004 · No Comments · Diary
Seems to me that nowadays I have combo blog entries.
I want a classical guitar with electric pickup. I want it so badly that it is just not rational anymore. I just want to own one.
But why?
My old classical guitar is falling apart. I write music using a classical guitar. I want to record my music [...]

Cars, Women, Black Comedy, and Blue
November 22nd, 2004 · No Comments · Diary
It has been such an extraordinary weekend to me. My weekend began with the Motor Show that was packed with cool concept cars and decent looking models. Then it was Jason who invited me to watch a Spanish movie with him at the Art House - Torremolinos 73, a black comedy. And it ended with [...]

Warm Recollection (Warmest Memories?)
November 20th, 2004 · 2 Comments · Songwriting
After thoughts: After typing out the lyrics for me, my sister has gone through quite a tough period herself. And she (was inspired) has offered to translate the song for me. I think her translation is much better than mine.
Remember the Cantonese song I was talking about? Many thanks to my sister Lora, she has [...]

Tears For Fears - Everyone Loves A Happy Ending
November 20th, 2004 · 7 Comments · Music Reviews, Pop Rock & Alternative
… and I love a happy ending too. Although I was cautioned on what the reunification of Orzabal and Smith would be. First thing first, I was so over the fact that they have split up 15 years ago. I think Roland Orzabal survived and I do admire his effort in doing everything on his [...]

No Doubt’s Everything In Time
November 19th, 2004 · No Comments · Music Reviews, Pop Rock & Alternative
I have been a huge, huge No Doubt fan. Having been to their wild, wild concert at Paris, I will just buy anything that has Gwen Stefani’s voice in it. I am so totally into Gwen and her band. And so I did, bought the album without even listenning to any tracks.
Back in the year [...]
