This Is How Love Is Measured

November 30th, 2007 · 6 Comments · Whacky Thoughts

Everything in life can be measured, that is what I believe - either directly, via proxy measurement, or indirectly. One friend of mine asked: how do we measure love?

2 Days In Paris - The Magic Of Julie Delpy Continues

November 29th, 2007 · No Comments · Drama, Movie Reviews

A well reviewed film written, acted, directed, edited, co-produced, and scored by Julie Delpy - I had no idea when I booked the seats for the Movie Review Squad. Being such a huge fan of Julie Delpy, I really don’t need any other reason to watch “2 Days In Paris”. It was a nice surprise [...]

November 29th, 2007 · No Comments · Snippet of My Life

At night, I drive. Clueless about direction. Clueless about my destination. A listless body. Heavy in breathing. Clueless about where I am heading. Clueless about what I am doing. I drive, at night.

Avid readers of my site know that I love my new home here. But, there are moments like tonight that I am not too proud of who I am. My friend shares the same birth town as me and she lived in Australia for a few good years. Just recently she has decided to try [...]

November 25th, 2007 · No Comments · Music Reviews, Pop Rock & Alternative

At times we see artists who dare to deviate from their forte but fail to deliver. Most of the time, we see countless of artists producing the same stuff again and again and because some of them are so good at it, we fans keep buying into that. The queen of indie’s new production “White [...]

So I Finally Opened A Trading Account

November 22nd, 2007 · 3 Comments · Diary

If there are two things I think we all should start doing from young, that would be skin care and to invest wisely. Ironically, I suck at both departments. It is until recently that something suddenly hits me (I am slow, I know). I don’t have the economy background and I often have this negative [...]

Sugar And Spice - My Heart Bled A Hundred Times

November 21st, 2007 · 2 Comments · Foreign, Movie Reviews, Romance

Life is fragile. One moment you are up in the sky, hopping from cloud to cloud. Everything looks bright. You love the caress of the wind on your face. Another moment, everything you stand onto crumble into pieces. What you believe in, what you live for … and you ask yourself: Who am I? What [...]

The Kingdom - More A Thriller Than Politics

November 20th, 2007 · No Comments · Action & Thriller, Movie Reviews

The Movie Review Squad met unexpectedly at Orchard over the weekend and while Cynthia and TK were having coffee and cake at The Centrepoint, I was assigned to walk over to Cineleisure and pick a movie in the name of spontaneity. If it was up to me, I would have picked a Japanese movie for [...]

7pm - 5am: Of Dinner And Dance, Butter Factory, And Zouk

November 18th, 2007 · 4 Comments · Party

Till today, I still think that the best thing I can take away from my nine-to-five is the friendship I make. Some feel that the friends they meet as they get older are not as real or as close to those they met when they were young. The way I see it, as time goes [...]
