I was inspired to make my own “True Blood” poster after receiving our very own framed mini-posters at the end of the HBO blogger event that look just like that. Except, my mugshot is not appetizing. And Cynthia had tilted her head a bit too much. This evening, both of us were examining the original [...]

My Early Photography Work on Fraser’s Hill
March 28th, 2009 10 Comments
Of the few highlands in Malaysia, Fraser’s Hill holds a special place in our hearts. It is tranquil, it is serene. November 2008 seems so distant. It was cloudy, rained most of the time. The same month when 2008 Formula 1 reached its finale. And this afternoon, I was glued to my TV watching the 1 hour [...]

We’ll Vote for Earth Hour, And You?
March 27th, 2009 5 Comments
A farewell lunch, couple of days ago. We dined at an Indian restaurant, next to the Singapore River. Delicious buffet. And we chatted, on the topic of parenthood. With no real experience from my end, I often find the topic far and distant. Maybe my mind was preoccupied with the drafting of this blog entry. That [...]

Symphony: Live in Vienna – Sarah Brightman – Beautiful Voice, Beautiful Cathedral, Beautiful Recording
March 24th, 2009 No Comments
This is one of those recordings that when you listen to the audio format, you feel so-so. But when you watch the video format, you would go: Wow, this is really great! Like that Within Temptation concert DVD I’ve watched lately. Maybe it is the beautiful acoustic nature of a Cathedral (in the old days, Churches [...]

Day 1 of Unlimited Music Download – So I Surprised Cynthia with a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
March 23rd, 2009 8 Comments
Edit: I have received reliable responses to the questions I raised in this entry and I have edited this post accordingly for sharing! Words cannot describe the sense of liberation as we spent the entire Sunday downloading music, legally. Free or not free, it’s arguable. But for what I pay for, I don’t know which [...]

Kelly Clarkson – All I Ever Wanted – Now, Give That Girl Some Love
March 21st, 2009 8 Comments
In a way, I am not surprised to read that Kelly Clarkson’s latest single “My Life Would Suck Without You” made the biggest jump from 97 to 1 in the US Chart. After her last effort “My December”, I am reminded that big stars don’t necessarily make great albums all the time. Look at Leona [...]

Crash! A “Retired” Cyclist Perching At A Flyover Overlooking The Streets Of Singapore
March 18th, 2009 2 Comments
“You really should relive your days of glory, pick up a bicycle, and cycle with us,” said my good old friend Rob time and time again when we meet up for lunch. And as always, I laughed it off and changed the topic. His determined eyes do pierce through my heart, though I am not showing [...]

Beyond Saving My Life And Into The World Of ReadyNAS!
March 16th, 2009 28 Comments
I had a vision, last Sunday. As I was inching my way, through a huge crowd of people, inside the air-conditioned subterranean shopping mall, that connects where the IT Show was held, to where I parked my car, I saw grey sky and the heavy rain, through the huge glass windows. Travelling at point zero zero [...]
Watchmen – Oh I Like
March 15th, 2009 3 Comments
I should feel blessed that I have yet to unwrap the comic book “Watchmen” I bought years ago. As strongly recommended by our friend TK, I bought that comic book; and since he is keen to watch the movie – though I have heard split reviews on this film – we went ahead with it. [...]

No Line On The Horizon – An U2 Album that Splits Audience and Rewards Those with Patience
March 12th, 2009 No Comments
Q Magazine wrote, “Good Lord, it’s a masterpiece”. Oh well. For all that’s worth, for better or worse, this 12th U2 studio album has offered the audience a listening journey that is rarely seen these days – from the music and lyrics to the visual experience. What would this album be if U2 was to [...]
