Borat - You Either Love It Or Hate It
December 29th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Documentary, Movie Reviews
If indeed true that this is a documentary film made with real people in real situations, I really pity some of the people who were caught in this one big giant reality TV series in the expense of the audience’s laughter. Borat, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, left his home country Kazakhstan traveled into America [...]

Give Me Back My Internet Connection!
December 28th, 2006 · No Comments · Diary
The last time I got frustrated with Internet connection was when StarHub was my ISP. The customer service representative pointed me to InternetTrafficReport.com and told me, “Look at those numbers. The whole Singapore is affected by [a damaged underwater cable].” Little did he know that back then, it only affected StarHub. Now I am with [...]

Days ago, I asked one of my friends to recommend a movie to watch over Live Messenger and her immediate response was Curse of the Golden Flower and have myself a “boobs treat”.

Leadership and Self-Deception - A Book That May Change How You Deal With People
December 23rd, 2006 · 2 Comments · Book Reviews, Non-Fiction
“It was Friday night when my son Bryan wanted to use the car. I didn’t want him to use it - partly because I saw him as someone irresponsible, troublemaking, and disrespectful - so I gave an insanely early curfew time (10.30pm) that I didn’t think he would accept. Bryan accepted the condition, took the [...]

December 19th, 2006 · 6 Comments · Foreign, Movie Reviews
I know I have been a movie-craze/Japanese-craze lately but this is a great blog entry full of [virtual] goodies. I have even linked up two great video clips from YouTube. Just stay with me for a minute or two.

My Civic Surprised Me Once Again
December 18th, 2006 · No Comments · Diary
First it was the auto winding down of my side window when my Honda Civic detects an obstruction while winding up (please don’t ask me how it happened). Then it was the child lock that took me a while to figure out why my passengers could not get out of my car time and time [...]
