From the writer and director of “Reservoir Dogs”, “Pulp Fiction”, “Jackie Brown”, and “Kill Bill”, Quentin Tarantino has created yet another classic this time in the Grindhouse style. If you like his works, especially the earlier ones (less fantasy and more realism), there is no reason for you to miss “Death Proof” – a believable [...]

She speaks. I listen. She finishes her question. I translate. You speak. I listen. You finish your answer. I translate. She smiles. You smile. While I anticipate the next string of words in either language. She tells a story. I translate at each suitable interval. I speak while I listen. I listen while I speak. [...]

June 27th, 2007 No Comments
If you are born after the year of 1979, I bet you one muffin (if you buy me the coffee) that you have heard the Todd Terry remix version of “Missing” from the band Everything But The Girl (EBTG). That song is probably one of my top 20 songs of all time (I should start [...]

I am a spy and together with my team, we infiltrate a high-rise government building that belongs to one of our neighbours. The nature of this building is not known to me. What is our neighbour’s building doing in the land of our country? I do not know. I am new to this job and [...]

Last night I could not sleep. I lied in bed for six hours with my eyes closed but I just could not sleep. Not sure if I was nervous about today’s jamming session (yes, I treat each session with utmost seriousness) or I was going to visit my sister’s boyfriend Benny aka my ex’s brother [...]

*** 2 0 0 *** That is the number when you add the age of my family of four together. Or shall I say, between the four of us, there is a life experience of 200 of years by March next year. I often wonder how much knowledge is lost from one generation to the [...]

What happens when you put together a bitter old man whose life has beaten him so bad and a young girl who has a “disease” or a “spell” of wanting to have sex with men at least once a day? A young white girl physically chained up in a black old man’s house. Now, can [...]

What TV Shows Are You Currently Watching?
June 19th, 2007 13 Comments
When I was a bachelor, I seldom watch TV. In fact, I could live months happily without a TV. I was used to think that TV takes up too much of my attention. I preferred entertainments such as listening to music and reading books. Now, I am a changed man. I often wonder what others [...]

Annoucement: Introducing The New “Music Reviews” Page
June 18th, 2007 No Comments
Note: The Music Review Page is now taken down due to a change of blog engine. Ever since the beginning of 2007, as suggested by one of my buddies, I have tried to write a small music review on each of the music album purchased. Initially I did it for some selected music albums I have bought [...]
