In my previous post, I mentioned how excited I was in anticipating my very first studio experience. After the session while we were heading out for food (that’s right EastCoastLife, I know you are going to ask: where’s the food?), I was still in trance and casually commented that it was the best day of [...]

Fragments Of My Dreams Episode 4 - A Train Over The Integrated Resort
August 27th, 2007 · 6 Comments · Fragments of My Dreams
I am with my wife and we have won a ticket the latest Mass Rapid Transport (MRT) ride that circled around a new theme park. Is it a theme park? Perhaps it is an integrated resort instead.
I am not that excited but my wife is. It is just a MRT ride, no? We head to [...]

So This Is Le Baroque …
August 26th, 2007 · 7 Comments · Diary
New visitors of my site must have thought that I am quite a party animal - Attica, The Arena, and now Le Baroque. In fact, the Le Baroque visit was totally impromptu. My guitarist Jason has been talking about this new colleague of his for a long time (till now becomes ex-colleague) but I have [...]

Very High Femininity For My Personal DNA? What The …
August 24th, 2007 · 9 Comments · Silly Me
I appreciate the fact that talented people create online surveys to let people with a curious mind to analysis themselves … for free. I really do. But for God sake, if you are going to tell a dude like me that I am with a “very high femininity”, please follow up with a free counseling [...]

Love Psychedelico’s Golden Grapefruit - Almost Another Good Old Delico Album
August 22nd, 2007 · 3 Comments · J Pop, Music Reviews
There are many reasons why Love Psychedelico (or better known as Delico in Japan) is different from some of the typical J-pop artists. Vocalist and guitarist Kumi may not have the level of sex appeal like most of the J-pop female artists, the good thing is, she doesn’t have the typical high pitch voice nor [...]

The Bourne Ultimatum and Secret - Double Happiness?
August 22nd, 2007 · 4 Comments · Movie Reviews
I really should have given Jay Chow a benefit of doubt. He does not have any track record in writing a movie nor actually directing one, and certainly his previous acting in Curse of the Golden Flower was less than impressive. How do I feel about “Secret”? That will have to wait.
Two weekends ago, before [...]

Gosh … What To Do With My 700+ Music CDs?!
August 21st, 2007 · 18 Comments · Silly Me
Let me tell you one thing. The most powerful form of nagging is not how persistence it is but how subtle it is. You-know-who never explicitly nags me. She subtly nags me. The thing is, once someone nags at me, the guilty feeling of what-I-should-have-done is somewhat lessen. Nagging itself is a form of punishment. [...]

In This Wasteland (Of A Thousand Flies)
August 18th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Songwriting
I wanted to write a happy song today. Somehow I just couldn’t. Happy songs and I don’t mix. Anyway, if my guitarist Jason and my bassist Cynthia are both happy with the dark songs of mine, why do I bother to fight so hard? Just embrace it? I usually compose my music using a classical [...]

What The PUK?
August 18th, 2007 · 9 Comments · Diary, My Favorite
Cynthia is out of town. And it seems that the entire Universe has conspired not letting me to succumb to the typical fate of a “7-year Itch” like some of my friends so playfully pointed out. When I left the office this evening, my new colleague - a gentleman in his 50s - reminded me, [...]

Where Is My To-Blame List?! My Dinner Was Screwed!
August 16th, 2007 · 8 Comments · Silly Me
You know how couples occasionally plan their evening sex first thing in the morning, romance with the idea the entire day, and then have a wonderful time in the evening waking up the neighbors throughout the night? The entire day today, I kept thinking of my home cooked dinner. You see, cooking at home as [...]
