Girlie Gifts :P
Just when I thought that my darling dearest would never get me girlie presents for my birthday, he surprised me tonight. Yang likes to keep me in suspense about the kind of birthday gifts he buys me. Hence, it has
Japan, Dec 2010
We’ve been procrastinating on our decision to go on a much-needed vacation (for Ling, that is!) this December. We’ve been talking about visiting Japan and blogged about it here, but there was just one thing holding us back: that it

A Growing Disquiet – II
This post isn’t about what one of my friends calls ‘Toronto Bashing’, or quibbling with fellow Christians, but a very personal reflection on something that continues to unsettle me. A month ago I wrote a friend from Salmon Run many

Leap Year (2010) – on rental. The long National Day weekend saw the both of us catching up on a whole ton of films. Five actually, including Salt that I just posted a short review of. We also finished watching
Salt
Salt (2010) – at AMK Hub. Just before the weekend screening of Salt at AMK’s Cathay, I was at my class’ end-of-semester barbeque the Friday evening when one of my students jibed that I was catching the film only because
Game sensitivities
I gave a talk to students from Jurong Junior College yesterday afternoon on game studies, the second of such talks I’ve done this year for JC students. The 40 minute talk had a lot of content crammed into it as
