There was a time when girls wanted to be Barbie and boys fantasied to take control of one of those robots as inspired by the Japanese anime series, fly high and kick some enemy butts (somehow I have this bizarre image of tomatoes and eggs flying towards my ways from the girls). “Supreme Commander” gives [...]

World Heritage Sites – I Want To Visit Them All!
March 16th, 2007 1 Comment
Over MSN, my good Thai friend, Ja, asked me if I would be interested to join her and her husband’s trip to Lijiang (China). She told me that Lijiang is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. What is UNESCO World Heritage Site? I quickly did some research mainly to find out more about Lijiang. [...]
That One Song I Remember During Road Trip In Melbourne
March 15th, 2007 No Comments
I usually associate trips that I have been with songs that were aired in the radio at the same period. For instance, Tony Rich Project’s “Nobody Knows” is associated to my first visit to Chicago, USA. Couple of years later, during my road trip to Los Angeles, Jewel’s “You Were Meant For Me” was played [...]

We Saw Ericia Lee (At VivoCity)
March 14th, 2007 2 Comments
At first I wanted to write, “We Met Ericia Lee”, but although we were in the same place as her, we didn’t talk except an exchange of friendly smile, it is more appropriate to use “We Saw Ericia Lee”. Or to be more exact, “I Saw A Celebrity” because at that moment, the lady whom [...]

My 7th Oil Painting – Endless Ironing
March 12th, 2007 5 Comments
Let me show you how my Inspiration Factory works. One fine day I was staring at the big pile of folded clothes awaiting to be ironed. It was more than usual because of our Melbourne trip (note: this blog was written a while back). So I asked Cynthia casually … Me: (Nodding at the direction [...]

Akon’s Konvicted – Hip-Hop With Good Varieties
March 11th, 2007 1 Comment
I seldom purchase Hip-Hop albums. Love the genre when I am in a club. Just somehow, Hip-Hop music get dated fast. Couple of months ago I first heard of Akon’s single “Smack That feat. Eminem” and I was like … wow, that was different. And who would have forgotten the lyrics of the chorus “Smack [...]

300: March To Glory
March 9th, 2007 No Comments
There are many references to Spartans when it comes to literature and nothing inspires me more than a casual chat with one of the Colonels I worked with, a chat on how he was trained in the Spartan’s way of life. Imagine this, an ancient military tradition more than 2,500 years ago still inspires the [...]

The Fountain – Loosely Based On Tree Of Life
March 8th, 2007 No Comments
If I am to rewrite the synopsis of the movie, it would be: “The Fountain” is a love story about Doctor Tommy (Huge Jackman)’s quest in racing against time looking for a cure for his terminally ill wife Izzy (Rachel Weisz). Torn between time spent in research and and in accompanying Izzy for her last [...]

This Is How We Guys Do It
March 7th, 2007 7 Comments
Sometimes I wonder if girls do admire each others’ bodies in a wow-that-is-nice-and-how-did-you-do-it kind of way like we (or some of us) do publicly. Be it as girls or guys, I think we all want a … erm … fuller chest. For guys, it is relatively easy. Just need to do more push-ups and iron [...]
