I bought my very first movie guides in the early 1990’s. I bought 5 such books in one year and that was possible financially as they were like 70-80% off the original retail price ! Two of them I remember as Halliwell Film Guide and TimeOut Film Guide. The other three books, I can’t remember… Read More: My First Film Guides »
There was this promotion at the local supermarket today giving away free lunch sets of curry rice sponsored by Maggi. I actually believed it even though I’m well aware of the saying “no such thing as a free lunch” ! When I asked for the free curry rice, the promoter promptly pointed to the fine… Read More: No Such Thing As A Free Lunch »
Bought a Christmas tree tonight. Not a big tree but a small one about 5 feet tall. The tree alone itself is cheap at only RM25. The deco cost much much more. I spent altogether RM60 on the deco. The lights is RM36. So the total cost works out to be around RM110.

I think there are periods in anyone’s life where one would love a film so much that he/she would return to it again and again. For instance, in the mid-80s, I adore the film ‘Back To The Future’ so much that I would watch it constantly. In the early 90’s, it was ‘New York Stories’… Read More: Movies I Used To Watch Repeatedly »
Shocking and sad as well. I’ve just learned that the ‘White Rabbit’ candy was reported to allegedly contain formalin, or formaldehyde, a disinfectant toxic chemical linked to cancer. ‘White Rabbit’ is actually one of my favorite candies for years.
