If there is such a term as ‘speed reading’ or ‘speed dating’, I guess my trip to Chennai is speed touring in the finest. I have written two articles for my two days visit. Click onto the link below to view. From Chennai with Love (Pt 1) – Pictures from the City From Chennai with [...]

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch – A Lecture from the Heart to Whom He Loves
July 18th, 2008 9 Comments
Given Randy Pausch’s medical condition, it is astonishing that he is able to publish a book (with the help of Jeffrey Zaslow). Randy delivered the now famous “Last Lecture” last September when he was told to have only a few months to live. A while back, I wrote a brief summary on his “Last Lecture” and if you [...]

July 17th, 2008 6 Comments
I was innocent. At least I think I was. Apparently, in this dream, I was a girl. It is a bright and sunny day. I met this guy the other day and this new friend of mine referred me to this job opportunity. It is not hard to find the office. A wide open reception [...]

Chennai Here I Come

Oh God, I don’t even know where to start. I am a small fry at work. The VIP fly out for business trips, not me. I make good coffee and I write well. I make sure that everything is recorded, which is kind of important to the bosses. When I think of my job, I [...]

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army – It is 4,900+1 Against 4+1!
July 13th, 2008 8 Comments
Absurd as it sounds, I have high anticipation on Hellboy II because of Pan’s Labyrinth and the rather hot Selma Blair. Why do I think that Hellboy’s girlfriend is sexy? I have no idea. Perhaps because of some of the past movies she made. When I read that in this sequel, it is Hellboy and [...]

The Bank Job – Nothing Like My Job For Sure (LOL!)
July 12th, 2008 No Comments
OK. Bad joke. I can’t remember the exact dialogue. When I suggested to watch “The Bank Job” last week, my buddy TK was like, “Isn’t that your job? 9 to 5 is not enough and you have to watch it on big screen?” Duh! Cynthia couldn’t have put it better: Before “The Italian Job” and [...]

And the Excitement Continues (Nephew Nathaniel)
July 11th, 2008 8 Comments
Let’s recap what goes on in July so far. My band’s first female guest drummer, sister’s boyfriend proposed, 2nd book review at the McGraw-Hill’s website, nomination at Ping.sg, and – hold your breath – my nephew was born last evening and he has the same birthday as me! Now, how cool is that? Last night, [...]

Thanks for all your warm wishes! It is the thought that counts. So, text messages are same-same to me. I have two traditions when it comes to my birthday. One, it will be a holiday. Look, if we have holidays to celebrate the birth of the kings and queens and anniversary of what not, why [...]

Storyboarding at 24 Frames per Second – My First V-blog (Prelude) Episode 5
July 9th, 2008 7 Comments
“There is no point in teaching a young one to choose his battle. He is going to fight every single one, refuse to relinquish his power, and only experience can teach him such thing: There is no ultimate victory and there is no absolute righteousness. As his eyes are cast upon the rain of fire, [...]
