A poignant song from Sarah Blasko, with some comments to share… All I Want Lyrics: I don’t want another lover So don’t keep holding out your hands There’s no room beside me I’m not looking for romance Say I’ll be here, I’ll be here But there’s no way you’d understand All I want All I [...]

Warning: This is a proper vampire movie, where vampires adhere to the classic rules. E.g. they do not glitter with fairy dust in the sun without bursting into flames during non-twilight hours! (To avoid confusion in monster lore, Twilight’s ‘vampires’ shouldn’t be called so in the first place!) What if the situation is in reverse? [...]

The award-winning movie ‘Humpday’ has a thought-provoking semi-serious yet semi-funny premise… Is it possible for two heterosexual guys to have homosexual sex? Wouldn’t it not be an amazing feat that is ‘mind over matter’? Spoiler ahead! The two guys who tried to go through the dare decided that they couldn’t after talking and ‘trying’ it [...]

I saw her holding the catalogue like a new found treasure. As she sat down in the train, happily, she started to flip through the catalogue of Death.

Out of curiosity, we took a walk from the new Orchard Central to Orchard Ion, to witness part of the whopping 40 million dollar revamp of the stuff on Orchard Road. Old [...]
