My Scorecard Results for Jan 2007

January 31st, 2007 · 2 Comments · Diary

It is time to tally up the score and see how I am doing in the month of January based on the targets I have set at the beginning of the year. I know, some friends of mine are a bit concerned over how well this tool is going to help me in reaching my [...]

I Have Decided To Gain Weight

January 30th, 2007 · 8 Comments · Diary

Decisions in life are often made with a blink of thought. For instance, I bought my pair of dumbbells without much thought about what to do with it except that one routine I know of. Or over the dining table having a lovely company of Cynthia and my buddy Tong Kiat, I suddenly announced that [...]

Cat Deeley - The Star Behind “So You Think You Can Dance”

January 29th, 2007 · 2 Comments · I See I Write

I better publish this blog before it gets too dated. Earlier this month, Singapore has aired the finale of “So You Think You Can Dance Season 2″. I have not missed a single episode of both Season 1 and 2. “So You Think You Can Dance” (SYTYCD) is a great concept. Unlike “American Idol” that [...]

Sione’s Wedding - An Urban Romantic Commedy From New Zealand

January 29th, 2007 · No Comments · Drama, Movie Reviews

Wanted something light and fun, I have decided to take my Movie Review Squad to watch Sione’s Wedding - a box office hit in New Zealand. Being totally ignorance on the New Zealand culture, please do forgive me if I make any cultural mistakes here. At first I thought the characters are Māori. Then I [...]

Axl Rose Is My Hero - Guns ‘N Roses’s New Song “There Was A Time”

January 26th, 2007 · 2 Comments · I See I Write

Guns N’ Roses is without doubt one of the most influential and successful rock band from the late eighties to early nineties. Songs like “Welcome to the Jungle”, “Paradise City”, “Sweet Child O’ Mine”, “Patience”, “Don’t Cry”, and “November Rain” - just to name a few - are classic to those who enjoy listening to [...]

Nana Starring Mika Nakashima - Catchy Tunes

January 26th, 2007 · 1 Comment · J Pop, Music Reviews

Lately, there aren’t many good English albums around and though you may see Japanese albums keep popping up in my website, Japanese CDs only contribute to less then 5% of my CD collection, believe it or not.
Fans of Mika including me are shocked that she has ventured into the genre of rock music when time [...]

An Eventful Day

January 25th, 2007 · No Comments · Diary

Woke up relatively late this morning because I had a rather long night trying to figure out why I cannot convert my two-days worth of work into a decent DVD format. I still owe my brother-in-law a video edit of his engagement that took place two years ago and I am determined to get it [...]

A Proud Owner Of My First Dumbbell Set

January 24th, 2007 · 4 Comments · Diary

These days I work hard trying to get closer to the 8 hours of exercise a month target as set in my scorecard. Before today, I jog when the weather is cool, swim when the weather is warm, and frown at the sky when it pours. I need a fool proof strategy in achieving my [...]

What Have You Been Doing These Days?

January 23rd, 2007 · 3 Comments · Diary

I’ve got the question “what have you been doing these days” a lot lately. After leaving my relatively comfortably paid job last Christmas, my answers range from “I am taking a break” (that sort of confuses many people) and “I am taking a career break” (that gives a deeper confusion) to now “I am retired” [...]

The Painted Veil - Redemption And Unexpected Grace In An Unlikely Place

January 22nd, 2007 · No Comments · Movie Reviews, Romance

Those who have read the book written by W. Somerset Maugham published in 1925 will immediately realise the differences between the movie adaptation and the original novel. The character development of the supposed to be shallow, poorly educated Kitty is very much compressed and the conclusion is missing from the adaptation. The novel portrays the [...]
