HBO Asia Premiere of Flight of the Conchords – A Blogger Event
August 29th, 2008 11 Comments
I was invited to a blogger event hosted by HBO Asia. And I grabbed Cynthia along to keep me away from the distraction of so many beautiful celebrity bloggers at the party. It was a memorable evening, eye-opening to say the least, to tour the HBO compound from production to live broadcast. Before we get [...]

August 25th, 2008 14 Comments
This is me, swimming in Backstroke. It’s a strange drawing of mine, isn’t it? Maybe I tend to influence people around me with my quirks and twists; maybe everybody is influencing everybody else with his or her quirks and twists. Last year, I started the “Do It” movement. Some colleague of mine told me that they have [...]

Cyborg She (僕の彼女はサイボーグ) – How Many Times Can You Alter Your Past?
August 24th, 2008 21 Comments
I really love this Japanese film. I am so feeling her heart – an expression I learn from the film to describe a strong affection in a cyborg-human relationship: I feel your heart! While the Americans are remaking the Korean success “My Sassy Girl”, the director of the aforementioned movie, Kwak Jae-yong, has created “Cyborg She”. Let’s [...]

Ayumi Hamasaki Countdown Live 2007-08 Anniversary (DVD) – Raising the Bar Once Again
August 23rd, 2008 18 Comments
Foreign as it may sound to you, Ayumi has been a great inspiration to me. It is a pity that many find language a barrier that is too high to cross. Even if you are not into Ayumi’s music, watching her concert recordings will certainly open your eyes to what a live performance can be: [...]

August 18th, 2008 14 Comments
Last Sunday marked the 208th day of I being a teetotaler; this oil painting is 208 days in the making. My story of “From a Borderline Alcoholic to a Teetotaler” will be posted here another day, I promise. Today I wish to write about a hobby that I’ve left behind for about one and a half years. [...]

Singapore Won A Medal, I am Ecstatic
August 17th, 2008 8 Comments
Early this month, I mentioned that Singapore needs more good news. Today, Team Singapore delivers us a silver medal. I don’t know how my fellow citizens feel. I am ecstatic. And in my state of ecstasy, two questions still linger on my mind: What does ‘Singapore will at least get a silver medal’ mean? And how [...]
