There are times when my so-called social life evolves around … online chat. And there are times like these couple of days when my social life suddenly becomes … colorful. Last Friday I had lunch with my old friend EL and gosh, I have not met her for a long time. She has taken a [...]

Sam & Max Episode 6 – Bright Side Of The Moon (End Of Season 1)
May 18th, 2007 5 Comments
How time flies. Back in December last year I chanced upon a new hilarious game called Sam & Max and till today, set aside the fact that I have fun with all the 6 episodes, I still find the business model pretty intriguing. Traditionally, gaming companies spend months if not years to develop a title [...]

Bridge To Terabithia – Lived Up To Expectation
May 17th, 2007 5 Comments
The rest of the Movie Review Squad was busy last Tuesday so once again I was empowered to make that one important decision – which movie shall we watch? I read that the Thai sex thriller “The Passion” and the Chinese erotic film “Summer Palace” are both terrible. The only reason why the theaters are [...]

May 16th, 2007 3 Comments
I am not sure how often any of you visit local grocery stores such as NTUC. Since the outbreak in the pig farms just across the straits – for as far as I can remember – Singapore or rather NTUC has been importing pork from Australia instead. Couple of weeks ago, the counter that was [...]

May 14th, 2007 No Comments
In 1994, the British band “Suede” has given the world one good news and one bad news. Good news was that they have released one of their finest work “Dog Man Star” (written by Brett Andersen and guitarist Bernard Butler). If I was to be stationed in a remote island for a long time, “Dog [...]

I am a huge fan of the French actress Audrey Tautou, ain’t no shame in it. Captivated by her award-winning French film “Amélie”, I try to follow her career in as much as I can. Like “The Spanish Apartment” and its follow-up “The Russian Dolls” as one of the characters in a romance drama between [...]

Today is Friday so let’s do something light, shall we? And let’s take a break from all the serious serious reviews. So, what happens when happy people jog?

Mika Nakashima’s Yes – Enough To Please The Fans
May 10th, 2007 2 Comments
Some Japanese artists are so productive. Not long ago back in January I wrote a review for Nana Starring Mika Nakashima. Turns out that the new rock sound from her one-off-band assembled during the filming of Nana and Nana 2 is also … one off. How disappointing for me as I do enjoy her new [...]

May 9th, 2007 No Comments
I have just purchased another batch of CDs so I better publish the reviews of the last batch fast. Expect another few on the way. Writing an album review can be at times tedious. Sometimes it takes 5 to 10 rounds for me to get into an album. Sometimes I need to refer to some [...]

It must have been 10 years since I watched a movie at Bugis Junction. Two days ago, Cynthia and I were dining at our favorite Thai restaurant at The Heeren and we were wondering what has happened to our Movie Review Squad that has been out-of-action for two weeks. We blame it to the lack [...]
