Memento Mori, Carpe Diem!
Just a short warning. The photos below aren’t exactly anything you would enjoy seeing. There’s nothing scenic or attractive but rather feature my ancestors’ graves and a bunch of tired sweaty family members .
Having said that, it’s that time of the year again when my family (dad’s side) will get together to clean the [...]
My apologies for yet another long overdue post (I’m catching up!). March was the continuation of my OCD ‘movie phase’from February where I usually just devour movie after movie, day after day.
In between the DVDs, work, and laundry, I at least managed to step out of the house for the following.

Unfortunately, she could only stay for about a week, and I was working on [...]

Gosh, it sure took me long enough to write this post! Christine decided to come down to Singapore by herself for a getaway from KL, so I had a buddy to chill with for New Year’s Eve. (such fantastic timing)
So lemme see, what did we doo…
We played a bit of pool. Watched a [...]
165 movies watched in 2008. I expected at least 200+! Oh well, I guess I’ve been busy with other things..
My Top 5 Movie Picks for 2008 goes to :
1. The Dark Knight
Downright THE BEST noir character piece, comic adaptation, action, fantasy, sci fi all in one - featuring both my favorite director [...]
Finally! The last installment of my James Bond movie project, with the last 5 Bond films before Daniel Craig’s Casino Royale. Managed to finish it just before 2009.. what a great way to end 2008.
Truthfully, writing these posts have been quite time consuming. Running through each DVD to screen capture the characters, [...]
