I looked at my father lying sleeping soundly and alone in his bed in his room looking very old and frail. His right leg twitches every now and then. I looked round the room and I could remember a time when as a toddler I had shared this room with my parents. That was such… Read More »
Last Saturday 8th December (2 days ago), I bought my first HDTV, the SONY Bravia 32″ S Series KLVS32A10. As was expected it didn’t come cheap. Well, no LCD HDTVs are cheap at the moment. It cost me RM2,950 and comes with a 3 year warranty and is insured against theft, and fire damage. There… Read More »
I bought my very first movie guides in the early 1990’s. I bought 5 such books in one year and that was possible financially as they were like 70-80% off the original retail price ! Two of them I remember as Halliwell Film Guide and TimeOut Film Guide. The other three books, I can’t remember… Read More »
There was this promotion at the local supermarket today giving away free lunch sets of curry rice sponsored by Maggi. I actually believed it even though I’m well aware of the saying “no such thing as a free lunch” ! When I asked for the free curry rice, the promoter promptly pointed to the fine… Read More »
Bought a Christmas tree tonight. Not a big tree but a small one about 5 feet tall. The tree alone itself is cheap at only RM25. The deco cost much much more. I spent altogether RM60 on the deco. The lights is RM36. So the total cost works out to be around RM110.

I listened to Radiohead’s “Faust Arp” last Friday night (23rd November) after a recommendation by a buddy. He said it’s quite Beatle-esque and he was right ! Probably reminiscent of Beatles work circa 1968. After the first few lines of the song, the Beatles track ‘Julia’ from the ‘White Album’ comes to mind. How about… Read More »
Amazon won’t let me in to my associates account this morning ! Its system don’t even have a record of me as an associate. When I tried to log on, I got this message: “The e-mail address and password you are using are not connected to an Associates account. If your Associates e-mail address or… Read More »
I think there are periods in anyone’s life where one would love a film so much that he/she would return to it again and again. For instance, in the mid-80s, I adore the film ‘Back To The Future’ so much that I would watch it constantly. In the early 90’s, it was ‘New York Stories’… Read More »
Shocking and sad as well. I’ve just learned that the ‘White Rabbit’ candy was reported to allegedly contain formalin, or formaldehyde, a disinfectant toxic chemical linked to cancer. ‘White Rabbit’ is actually one of my favorite candies for years. I can still remember, when as a kid, was amazed at how the inside wrapper dissolves… Read More »
