Work those muscles!
Since March this year, I’ve been slacking and letting my muscles atrophy. Why March though? Well during that month, I was spending two evenings per week at the SAFRA Toa Payoh gym to work out. Part of national service obligation
Lonely Planet: Wildlife Travel Photography
I finally set aside some time over Sunday evening to begin reading the second of two photography books I’d bought from Kinokuniya during the 20% members discount a week ago. Lonely Planet has a couple of photography-theme books. I like
Gorillapod Focus
The Gorillapod Focus arrived yesterday via USPS Postal Service after spending around 8 days in delivery – I purchased it from a small Montana-based shop selling photographic accessories. Ling has been anticipating the tripod’s arrival and already has ideas on
Where be the monkeys?… Part 2
Continuing from my previous post. There’s a song that gets regularly played off the MP3 deck of our car, and it goes like this: This song comes from Curse of Monkey Island in 1997, and in it you’re supposed to
District 9
District 9 (2009) – AMK Hub on 26 Aug. This film is anything but ordinary. It’s a mix of numerous elements which fortunately turned out very well. There’re pointed notes on world history and affairs, and also on modern film-making

Alice-in-Action 2009
The Alice-in-Action (AIA) 2009 competition is organized by my department, and runs every year in August. The competition sees Secondary Schools sending teams who’ll work on 3D animation projects using the Alice 3D programming environment and the teams who make
The Object of My Affection
The Object of My Affection (1998) – on rental. Romantic dramas on film can be pretty formulaic: the two persons typically do not like each other terrifically i.e. the conflict phase first, but from either natural or contrived circumstances will
Student Barbeques
Working as an educator of 18+ year olds + that you live in a condominium can be quite a lethal combination… because your students will find every opportunity at semester break to hold barbeque events at your place. I’m staff
How to photograph absolutely everything
There’s another photography book that is a constant companion beside my bed: and that’s Tom Ang’s How to Photograph Absolutely Everything. This is a hard cover, coffee-table sized photo book on how to photograph, well, most of everything: and it
