Escape the humdrum!

Have just watched one of the films shown at the Italian Film Festival, Riprendimi (Good Morning Heartache). It was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008. A well thought-out and refreshingly mature plot + Stellar leads = Bravissimo!
Speaking of film reminds me that I’ve bought a pile of DVDs which are [...]

is it tomorrow yet?

Went to check out the Highlights From The Daimler Art Collection (1926 – 2006) at the Singapore Art Museum on Friday.  The exhibition features key modernist art movements and spans across six sections, namely:

European Roots: The Bauhaus, Concrete Art & Constructivism;
European and American Minimalism (1945-1970s) & European Neo Geo Artists (1980s-90s);
The Car-Related Commissioned Works;
The European Zero [...]

Fa La La*

Had an upset stomach on Thursday night, but it’s gotten better later the next day so at least my plan to catch Jack & Rai wasn’t spoiled.

Shy(-looking) Jack and charming Rai performed 11 original songs from their upcoming album, In Stores Now, to an unsurprisingly sold-out crowd. Haven’t seen many EIC performances myself, but I think the duo’s upbeat songs sound [...]

-Francoise de Motteville 
Makansutra-ed with Ivan and Muni yesterday whilst catching up with each other when Ivan posed this question, “Do you think you’ll stay in your current job for a long time?”.
Muni shook her head almost immediately.
I nodded [...]

Kiss kiss kiss! Love this picture!

Random ramblings

Bleargh, Sistic website sucks big time. Was trying to book tickets for Late Nite with Jack and Rai (the guys from E.I.C.) and almost every page refused to load. It hasn’t got any better either, which gets so freaking frustrating as I try to browse for events.
Anyways. Anyone wanna see Harry Connick Jr and/or Earth Wind & Fire at the Mosaic Music [...]

Ich möchte Ferien!

The past couple of weekends were rather eventful, I must say. Went for my German classes, two Hari Raya open houses (at Iylia’s and Syaheeda’s), caught a movie, fell sick… and oh, of course, there was the firm’s Dinner ‘n Dance.
So, the verdict on my first corporate DnD: venue (Raffles City Convention Centre) was satisfactory, food was slightly more [...]
