Are they broke?

Any other reason why these British bands are reuniting after so many years?

Comet!

Like a habit I clicked on all the Chinese-language channels on Astro, in search of interesting program to watch. This channel-surfing led to the discovery of a song from KBSW, a Korean channel. Ironically, KBSW is the channel I usually skip but this time I actually stop to watch the music video. Catchy song, I suppose.

Although the text from the music video are written in Korean, I managed to figure out the singer's name - Younha, and the song - Hyeseong (Comet). Thanks to the wonder of YouTube;

So there. Catchy enough for me to google high and low for the entire album. 2 albums. Singing and piano, a great combination IMO. It's like, as much as I hate Jay Chou I have to admit that it's charming to sing and play the piano at the same time.

Ho-huum..

Been rather quiet lately. Nothing interesting seems to be happening so far. I guess after a while life tends to be predictable and everyday is just like every other day - nothing to shout about.

I have a month left before flying off to Japan AND to complete a handiwork I promised to deliver (hopefully) by January. Progressing well albeit slowly. At the same time, I am trying to read Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential : Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly. This book will, apparently, be able to show me "the true joys of making good food at a professional level and what it feels like, looks like and smells like in the clatter and hiss of a big city restaurant kitchen". It could probably change my mind about joining a cooking school. We'll see how it goes.

Oh and by the way, I highlighted my hair. RED. Looking reaaaaaal good. Hahaha!

Rose Rose I Love You.

Despite being sick, I went up to Genting yesterday to catch Integrated Expression's latest 'pop musical', Rose Rose I Love You. I must say I really did enjoy myself. The dialogues are hilarious if you understand Cantonese and its slang.

Genting's weather was extremely chilly too. For a moment it felt like Auckland. Reminds me of how we used to go out for supper at night!

Breathe!

It will be darn great if I can stuck 2 tubes up both my nostril now to help me breathe! Am currently down with what I call the 4 brothers - sorethroat, fever, flu and cough. It's pretty sucky considering that I have open houses to attend to and the food is mostly heaty but yummy.

Much much better!

Travis Parker has everything a man could want: a good job, loyal friends, even a waterfront home in small-town North Carolina. In full pursuit of the good life -- boating, swimming, and regular barbecues with his good-natured buddies -- he holds the vague conviction that a serious relationship with a woman would only cramp his style. That is, until Gabby Holland moves in next door. Despite his attempts to be neighborly, the appealing redhead seems to have a chip on her shoulder about him...and the presence of her longtime boyfriend doesn't help. Despite himself, Travis can't stop trying to ingratiate himself with his new neighbor, and his persistent efforts lead them both to the doorstep of a journey that neither could have foreseen. Spanning the eventful years of young love, marriage and family, The Choice ultimately confronts us with the most heart-wrenching question of all: how far would you go to keep the hope of love alive? (The Choice)

So yeah, I neglected the other unread books on my shelf and went straight to Nicholas Sparks' latest. Felt shortchanged when I finished Dear John a couple of months ago. I thought Nicholas Sparks could have written better. This is definitely much better!
