I was reading the papers the other day - an article titled something along the lines of “PM Lee Looking For His Successor”.
Joel pokes his head over my shoulder and reads the title in silence. Then, in all innocence, he inquires, “Why? He lost his son ar?”

Thanks to my trusty 8Days magazine and their beautiful food section, I’m always sharing new eating haunts with Puppy and raring to try out the less expensive ones. Recently there was coverage on Charco’s, which took over the old Botak Jones in Ang Mo Kio (which has since moved to, well, Ang Mo Kio). [...]

It’s leaking out all over my skin”

Movida at St. James Powerhouse
I must say, for a free event, Class95 was smart enough to keep the invited list small so that the queue was manageable and Movida wasn’t unduly crowded. The wait wasn’t too interminable either; we got there at 7.15, [...]

I am now playing Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune!
It’s all the fault of comicker Tim I-don’t-know-what-his-last-name is, of webcomic Ctrl-Alt-Del fame (ah, poor PC users, when wilt thou see the light of day? Verily, the greatness of Jobs shines forth, kneel and accept enlightenment in your lives). Now that I have easy access to a [...]

Lions for Lambs is being panned by critics all over the place but…I actually kinda liked the movie. Sure, it was a little preachy and a little in-your-face with its preachiness, but I thought that the point of the movie wasn’t to, uh, make a point per se, but to make you think.

Hairspray is awesome toooooo! Listening to the soundtrack now heh. Zac Efron! James Marsden! *drool* :D
Okay just wanted to say how much these two things rocked my world :) Pool and [...]

I watched The Simpsons!
Is awesome!
Germain warned me that I’d end up laughing at jokes that the rest of the audience wouldn’t get and he was right :P
There was this scene where they were jumping into the sandbox -
Bart: GERONIMO!
Lisa: SACAGAWEA!
Me: AHAHAHAHAAA!! HAHA! HA!
*embarrassed silence*
Me: Cough.
Guess I’m just about the only one in Singapore who [...]

Watched 男儿本色with Kaixin yesterday at sleazy ol’ Beach Road Prince theatre.
Wasn’t expecting much beyond the excited “Want to watch free movie? Got cute Hong Kong boys!” SMS that she sent me so I went in without much expectations.
But WAH…I really, really, really loved the movie. Hong Kong movies are actually damn good when [...]

I WATCHED IT FIRST I WATCHED IT FIRST!
Xiaobin gave me a great great pressie today :) We had our favorite dishes at Fish & Co and then…we went to catch Harry Potter on total impulse - we didn’t think we’d actually get tickets on short notice BUT WE DID WE DID AT LIDO WOO! [...]
