I’ve not read the book but have seen trailers on this movie directed by Brad Pitt. I think it was nice, nothing awesomely fantastic but not too bad either. It did, however, make me want to read the book.
Overall, ( because I didn’t read the book ) I find the plot interesting, especially since it [...]
I am a bit fascinated by something recommended by the husband. Only that the garden in our house is not big enough. But I still think it is awesome, modern, clean and funky. I mean multi-colored ‘reban ayam’ ? It screams cool and organic all over! It gives pescetarianism a run for money with self-reared [...]
This post is a pick up from Mat Bangkai which was a pick up from AndreaWhatever. About guilty pleasures which, well if they are entirely good and right, we won’t be guilty of it right? I have many guilty pleasures in which I indulge in time and again, but I think the most distinct ones [...]
There are some things which are bothering me this wee hours of a Sunday morning past midnight where I am supposed to be translating but I am not. The issue that is bothering me has a little to do with translation, a great deal on my education and a tiny drop of it, a family [...]
I spent the weekend writing about Schizophrenia. Not that I am back to doing post-grad studies in Psychology. Not that I am writing an article about it for any magazines or whatsoever.

Was chatting on gmail with a fellow teacher friend just now while waiting for my translated piece to [...]
Did I hear correctly ? That there was supposed to be an invasion of sorts? That Indonesia is going to invade Malaysia like today or is it tomorrow?
heh , as I said to a friend and on my twit, I hope the invaders ‘tapau’ for me a set of Nasi Uduk and a carton [...]
Since I was in primary school, I’ve always, always loved the trip to Warung Pariaman on Kandahar Street, Kampung Glam ( in Singapore ) for lunch. It would be a highlight, those once in a while lunch trips out with my parents on a weekday ( too full on weekends and by 2 pm usually [...]
I was not sure on whether it was ok to ask him the questions but curiosity got the better of me and I went ahead to ask anyway. So far he is the only war survivor I personally know and having been listening to Yusuf Islam’s cd ‘ I Have No Cannons That Roar’ for [...]
Yesterday I received an email from one of my dearest friends in Queensland, Australia. She and her husband are what in laymen terms we would call a cowboy and cowgirl, pure bred Aussies.
