Should you blog for yourself or should you blog for the visitors who read your blog? Where does self-indulgence begin and public demand of affection end? Dan and Young at 98.7FM asking callers to finish off the sentence “Singapore needs more …”. One lady caller replied “animal lovers”. On the same stretch of road a [...]

Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer – Is This Better Than The Previous One?
June 15th, 2007 7 Comments
Same reason why I have to catch Ocean 13 asap, I found myself inside Orchard Cinelesiure the second time in the same week. And what’s up with Cinelesiure? It is perpetually crowded with youngsters dressed in hip outfit. Is this the school holiday period? Check this out. We spotted Singapore Idol contestants Joakim and Paul [...]

Ocean’s 13 – It’s Brad Pitt and George Clooney Again!
June 13th, 2007 1 Comment
These days I wake up shocked by the reading on the clock. I have got to do something about it. 4.30pm I sent two text messages to my Movie Review Squad. Unfortunately TK was stuck in the office doing testing on what my best guess would be … something to do with satellite coordinates. Normally [...]

Restoration Of A 4-Year Old Song Exact To The Month Of June
June 12th, 2007 No Comments
Last weekend I had a stiff right shoulder. And because of this stiffness I got to appreciate how wonderful our shoulder joints are in terms of the degree of movement. If I had a stiff neck, life would have been a whole lot easier. I just need to move my head with my body pretty [...]

Maroon 5′s “It Won’t Be Soon Before Long” – I Like The Previous One Better
June 11th, 2007 No Comments
Before I sound too excited and enthusiatic like I always do, for the record, I like Maroon 5′s previous album “Songs About Jane” (2004) much better. It is more musical and less commercial. The slow songs in “Songs About Jane” are memorable. Most of the slow songs in “It Won’t Be Soon Before Long” are [...]

Scott Phillips’s Debut “The Ice Harvest” – A Decent Noir Fiction
June 9th, 2007 No Comments
I am not surprised that “The Ice Harvest” (written in 2000) was made into a film back in 2005. It has all the basic elements of a blockbuster – blood, money, and sex. One day I wandered into Cold Storage while killing time and at the book section, I picked up the hardcover version of [...]

Lucinda Williams’s West – Tranforming Pain Into Beauty
June 8th, 2007 No Comments
There are albums that are meant to entertain. There are albums that are meant to be great background music – be it as driving in the car or chilling out with friends. And there are albums like Lincinda Williams’s “West” that are meant to be devoured – every note and every word. Listen to “West” [...]

Cynthia’s Birthday
June 6th, 2007 2 Comments
When it comes to other people’s birthday celebration (actually including mine), I am usually the non-creative-go-with-the-flow type. Since there is a limit as in how much I can blog about other people’s lives, let’s skip what happened this morning and afternoon and go straight to dinner. Each year I let Cynthia choose where to dine. [...]
