Green Lantern
Green Lantern (2011) – AMK Hub. Of the whole bunch of super heroes from DC Comics’ repertoire, I’ve always felt that the Green Lanterns would had been the hardest to translate into a live motion picture adaptation. Unlike the Batman
Space Battleship Yamato
Space Battleship Yamato (2010) – on rental. While Michael Bay’s film versions of Transformers have gone from so-so to awful, my basis for comparison laid in watching those films as they were. I didn’t grow up on the Transformers cartoons.

*tongue-in-cheek* This post is dedicated to Amantha who almost poisoned herself by consuming multiple artificial colourings. :P I was browsing for recipes on the Internet recently and chanced upon this lovely food blog called ‘Table for 2 or more’. The
Re-entering the Kitchen: Fish Soup
This is not your usual clear fish soup sold at foodcourts and hawker centres. The soup has century egg! I came across the recipe from the blog ‘Cuisine Paradise’ and thought it looked quite interesting and at the same time easy
“It just works…?” Not!!
I’ve had the iPad 2 for just over 2 months now. Never jailbroke it (it became possible just a few days ago). Never installed anything that didn’t come off the iTunes store on it. Never used it for anything other
