Front of the Class

Posted by: loyster on: June 28, 2009

My only (albeit small) brush with Tourette’s Syndrome so far was that Eminem got very publicly rapped for some comment he made about it, and that ex-Manchester United goalkeeper Tim Howard has it.
That is until I watched Front of the Class, a Hallmark movie based on the true story of Brad Cohen. Now I generally [...]

Falling From Grace

Posted by: loyster on: June 28, 2009

Watching Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen makes you want to do this:

Bite your tongue to keep from making any sarcastic remarks. Clap a hand over your mouth to keep from shouting in frustration. Grit your teeth to keep from booing.
Honestly, it’s a disappointment not because it was 2 and a half hours of robots whizzing [...]

I Got My Satisfaction

Posted by: loyster on: June 27, 2009

There is nothing scarier than doing something that absolutely freaks you out and yet the only thing that is moving you along is pure bravado. As I stand on the tiny little platform with my arms wrapped tightly around the tree, I curse myself for not backing down when I had the chance.
I have to [...]

Rest In Peace

Posted by: loyster on: June 27, 2009

It’s been a sad week for those in show (and music) biz. Certainly both Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett have been off the radars for some time – though coincidentally both resurfaced this year when Michael announced his concert dates and Farrah with her battle with cancer.

As all the tributes are pouring in for Michael [...]

Drag Me To Hell

Posted by: loyster on: June 20, 2009

A movie with a name as delicious as Drag Me To Hell has to be cool, right? Hell, yeah Not punny I know but still very, very appropriate.
This movie has all the necessary ingredients to ensure that movie goers are well entertained. Shocks – check (a group of young-ish girls were sitting behind [...]

Wong/Chong Family Reunion

Posted by: loyster on: June 14, 2009

I can’t begin to say how much I loathe Genting Highlands. It’s a place which should only be frequented by a) kids; b) parents with kids cause they get a kick out of seeing how happy their kids are; and c) people with itchy fingers who can sweat off their gambling fever at the many [...]

Dumb and Dumber

Posted by: loyster on: June 12, 2009

This has got to be the biggest joke of the week. Ronaldo being sold for 80 million?? And to Real Madrid!
As a Manchester United fan, I’m super glad he’s leaving. He’s good but nowhere near as brilliant as he thinks he is, or ought to be. And when he’s bad, he downright sucks.
And honestly, once [...]

Maybe it was my pessimism of the previous night but I had the worst dream ever. I can’t call it a nightmare cause it wasn’t scary – no flying pontianak or leaping keong [...]

Nothing in Particular

Posted by: loyster on: June 10, 2009

Watching VH1’s One Hit Wonders of the 80s the other day, my Dad innocently asked if that meant they were failures.
God, that is why I love him so much Haha. If being a One Hit Wonder meant being a failure, I hope to be a failure too!

Hell yeah!

Why isn’t [...]

Deja Vu

Posted by: loyster on: June 10, 2009

It started with a date for a movie. The simple pleasure of being asked out and the lure of the movie in itself made the request easy to say yes to.

What makes people enjoy matchmaking? Does the matchmaker ever feel responsible if both parties end up being broken hearted? Or do they think [...]
