The new movie “Gulliver’s Travels” starring Jack Black is a missable one. Trust me, you won’t miss out on anything much if you don’t catch it. Not that it’s not entertaining. It does manage to evoke a few chuckles here and there, but ultimately those moments were hardly enough to mask the fact that this [...]

Condo Names
Thursday, 30 December, 2010
With some many new condo projects springing up all over Singapore every other day, I’ve always wondered why they never named a project as “Kovan Gardens” before. (Pardon me if there already is one, but as far as I know, I’ve not heard of a “Kovan Gardens” before.) I know there is a “Kovan Melody” [...]
The Quest Continues…
Wednesday, 29 December, 2010
Some of you might know that I am on a personal quest to rid the world of the adjective “heartwarming” especially when it pertains to the promoting of plays and musicals and movies and stuff, so therefore, every so often I will submit a post on why it irks me to see this term being [...]
Just Gotta Say It
Friday, 24 December, 2010
It’s days like these you wish you had more friends named “Lawrence”, just so you can have the pleasure of legitimately saying “Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence”.
Gift-Giving Truths
Wednesday, 22 December, 2010
I wouldn’t say that I’m the best at choosing gifts, but I do enjoy the act of gift-giving quite a bit, especially to close friends. And the last few weeks I have been doing a fair bit of gift-giving, to a variety of friends young and old. I gave out some candy canes to some [...]
Highlight
Monday, 20 December, 2010
One of my highlights last week was definitely attending the wedding dinner of a church friend of mine whom I’ve known since my childhood days. It’s always a wonderful occasion to witness the marriage of a longtime friend, especially when you’ve seen each other grow up in church all your lives. It was especially enjoyable [...]
Review: “Crazy Christmas” By Dream Academy
Sunday, 19 December, 2010
Event: “Crazy Christmas” by Dream Academy (featuring Vocaluptuous) Venue: Drama Centre Theatre Run: 2nd Dec – 19th Dec 2010 I remarked to Ilkosa that I usually find it quite difficult to review shows like “Crazy Christmas”, cos it’s music heavy and there’s not too much else to talk about in terms of writing and plot [...]
Eureka
Friday, 17 December, 2010
This evening I had some minor “eureka” moment of some sort, but in a bad way, at around the two-thirds mark of watching “Crazy Christmas”, and it kinda affected my mood henceforth. (It had absolutely nothing to do with the show…somehow something just clicked in my brain.) After the show, my friend asked me if [...]
Guys Don’t Buy Candy?
Friday, 17 December, 2010
Recently I stepped into Candy Empire during lunch hour to search for some slightly more special candy canes to buy as gifts. The store was packed like I’ve never seen it before, presumably because it is the Christmas season. But I noticed something really strange – 97% of the shoppers in Candy Empire were female. [...]
A Great Conversationalist
Thursday, 16 December, 2010
I read this from somewhere recently and I thought it was very true. A “narcissist” is when a person expects the conversation to always be about him, and expects you to talk about him as well. A “bore” is when a person always talks about himself, and expects you to listen to him. A “great [...]
