My Harvest at the Great Singapore Sales (So Far)

June 13th, 2008 11 Comments

Call me whatever you like but I simply love the teal color flower petal lookalike tiny thingies that produce beautiful sound.  When I took them out of the box, Cynthia went oooorrhh sooo cute …  and at that moment, I know, girls love that design too.  In fact, I think girls love this design this color [...]

The Coincidental Encounters and the Incidental Chain of Events That Leads to This – My First V-blog (Prelude) Episode 2

June 11th, 2008 7 Comments

I don’t want to sound too much like a rip off from Haruki Murakami’s short story “Chance Traveler” but I too have my share of coincidental encounters to share.  Totally random of course but interestingly, these coincidences happened in the span of three consecutive days.  And outside this three-day window, puff, my days have become [...]

Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman by Haruki Murakami – Surreal and Beautifully Written Short Stories

June 10th, 2008 7 Comments

I would be lying to say that I wasn’t stopped by this rather sexy book cover (which later found out that it is rather relevant to the leading story).  But there are plenty of sexy book covers out there to grab attention.  I liked the book title but was not familiar with the author’s name.  I am [...]

A New, Shall I Say, Mini-Series and I’m Still Not Sure About It – My First V-blog (Prelude) Episode 1

June 8th, 2008 12 Comments

Ideas are peculiar little tangibly intangibles.  They are not as abstract as dreams like you want to marry a perfect guy (or girl) when you grow up or that Lamborghini you must have; wanting to be a rock star or to save the world.  Ideas on the other hand are more tangible than that.  It could be as simple [...]

If the Birthday Girl Wants Made of Honour, the Birthday Girl Gets Made of Honour

June 7th, 2008 11 Comments

Couple of weeks ago, my friendly boss dropped by my workplace – like he always does in an intraday manner to go through a checklist of 101 items with me – and he talked about “Made of Honour” instead.  He even gave a two thumbs up on that movie.  That was scary.  Was I being Googled [...]

Montages of Our Home Jamming Session (15/5)

June 4th, 2008 10 Comments

Looks like our search for a drummer who will practice and perform live gigs with our band continues.  My old friend in KL has just opened a brand new lingerie shop and she has invited our band for the official launch, with media coverage!  All I have to do is to compose a new set [...]

A Def Leppard Marathon – From Hysteria to Songs from the Sparkle Lounge

June 3rd, 2008 No Comments

I have yet to figure out if each tragedy the band Def Leppard encountered leads to a success or each success curses them with a tragedy. In year 1983, the UK rock band Def Leppard became famous after their third album “Pyromania” reached 10 times platinum in US alone.  In the following year, the drummer Rick [...]

So This is Sex and the City (A Guy’s Perspective)

June 2nd, 2008 24 Comments

Believe me, a hundred and one plans have flown over my head on how not to get myself into “Sex and the City”.  In a last-ditch attempt, I asked Cynthia in all feebleness, “Shall we check out the reviews on this movie just in case?”  Her response was, “It’s Sex and the City.”  Cool as a [...]
