If you have to watch one movie this holiday season, please let it be Ip Man. Forget what Hollywood promises in terms of action. Nothing is more satisfying or artistic than seeing a simple man beat the crap out of his opponent without breaking a sweat.
Donnie Yen portrays the man so beautifully and nobly that [...]

Hey, how come your heels don’t touch the ground when you walk?
-my Dad, making the discovery of the century. Geez, Dad, he must
be one of the very few people left who don’t know that I bounce, not
walk
Who said you’ve resigned from the hotel?
-my Appa, commenting when I was back there for [...]

Went for the media pre-screening of The Spirit on Tuesday but had to sign a non-disclosure form cause it wasn’t out in the States yet. Just as well, didn’t have much time to blog about it before this anyways
First of all, let me get the gushing out of the way. I had no [...]

My friends made me watch this, I swear! Haha. In our defense, there wasn’t much else to watch. It was either this or Cicakman 2, God forbid.
At the end of the movie, I was torn in two. Did I enjoy it? Did I hate it? What just happened? Sure I laughed at some parts, [...]

And the next thought: Wait a minute, what am I doing watching a Jim Carrey movie? He was the King of Slapstick (well, before he disappeared off the face of the Earth [...]

I ALWAYS WONDERED …The Origin of The Twelve Days [...]

Yup as you can see, I’m clearly excited about Christmas. As everyone has been pointing out to me, this is my first Christmas as a baptised Catholic. So it’s bound to be meaningful.
For a moment, I was in a quandary as to my Christmas plans. Sure I want to go back to the Visitation Church [...]

Just a small note to say that I’m still here
Extremely exhausted and back aching like mad. Full day of teambuilding yesterday – first time in 2 months and my body is totally feeling it … yep, signs of old age *lol*
But it was an extremely fun weekend. Too bad it’s Sunday already.
Oh [...]

Received this through e-mail last year and always thought it was beautiful and true. In the midst of commercialism and materialism, we tend to forget why we celebrate Christmas in the first place.
Anyway, there’s 2 and a half weeks left to Christmas, and 3 and a half weeks left to a brand New Year. [...]
