This is so cool. Today marks the first time in my life I’ve actually seen the word “flibbertigibbet” being used in any article. (Yup, it’s a real word folks.) And it was used by none other than Ong Sor Fern in her Life! review of the movie “My One and Only”, starring Renée Zellweger. Of [...]

J C Sum And “Magic Babe” Ning Predict 4D Results
Wednesday, 20 January, 2010
There has been considerable coverage recently regarding J C Sum and “Magic Babe” Ning’s upcoming feat – predicting the winning 4D result for the 27th January draw. See articles (here) and (here) and (here) and (here) and (here). Now, nothing captures a public’s imagination quite like predicting winning lottery numbers. This brings to mind Derren [...]
“New York, I Love You”
Tuesday, 19 January, 2010
My first movie of the year, because I couldn’t find anyone to watch “Sherlock Holmes” with (though I’ll definitely watch it someday), and because I refuse to watch “Avatar” (can’t bring myself to watch a CG movie about blue monsters). “New York, I Love You” is one of those many-little-stories-pieced-together-to-form-one-movie kind of movies, and when [...]
Sherman’s Lagoon
Monday, 18 January, 2010
I thoroughly enjoyed reading last week’s Sunday Times “Sherman’s Lagoon” strip (here). It’s one of the funniest SL strips I’ve read yet, and that’s saying a lot. What’s the moral of the strip? Well, it’s that you must never tell a woman the brutal truth…even if she asks for it. =)
Facebook Birthday Etiquette?
Saturday, 16 January, 2010
So, I’ve been wondering about something: If it’s your birthday, and you receive lots of birthday wishes on your Facebook wall, how would you respond? (choose one) a) I would respond to every individual post. This is probably viewed as the most sincere way, cos you reply to every wisher’s post. The downside to this [...]
Swoon!
Wednesday, 13 January, 2010
Seeing Schumi back on track gives me goosebumps. This guy is all business, and I’m sure he’ll do well this coming season. Somehow I get the sense that he’s being much more well-liked at this point in time, as compared to when he was still racing in ’06. I guess time does tend to help [...]
The Big Three-Oh
Wednesday, 13 January, 2010
Can someone give me the best response to “So, how does it feel like turning 30 this year?” If I had a dime for every time I was asked this question, I might have made a small fortune. (And nope, I haven’t found the perfect response to this yet.)
Oh Sumiko, You Are Such A Tease!
Monday, 11 January, 2010
***Update: Link to article can be found (here). Sumiko Tan has done it again, this time in her latest Sunday Times column yesterday entitled “New Year, New Start”. (I can’t find a link to the article at the moment.) Let’s face it, nothing captivates a nation of readers quite like a Sumiko Tan column about [...]
The Megafight Is Off (For Now)
Saturday, 9 January, 2010
What? Manny Pacquiao passes on one of the biggest fights in boxing history with Floyd Mayweather Jr., and chooses to fight Joshua Clottey instead? I know negotiations broke down, and I really don’t know who’s at fault here – Pacquiao or Mayweather, and I don’t know if this whole thing is just a huge publicity [...]
Who Steals Famous Paintings???
Friday, 8 January, 2010
There is something I’ve always wondered about. You know sometimes you’d read in the papers about a precious painting being stolen from an art museum, like (here). Have you ever thought to yourself – What in the world are they going to do with the painting? I mean, good job, you’ve just stolen Degas’s “Les [...]
