Pitch Black @ Haji Lane

I was informed about the 1st Toronto Singapore Film Festival through an email from a friend, which was subsequently held at Pitch Black @Haji Lane.

Highlights of the 1st Toronto Singapore Film Festival - featuring

We were brought up to the mini theater where the films were shown.
And, WOW!! We're the 1st! Yay!! Many seats available, thou limited as it's just the 2nd floor of the cafe. So, we grabbed the best seats - 2 big, cosy comfy sofas to ourselves.

路边的野花。
Road Side Wild Flowers.

A flower's fragrance declares to all the world that it is fertile,
available, and desirable, its sex organs oozing with nectar.
Its smell reminds us in vestigial ways of fertility, vigor, life-force,
all the optimism, expectancy, and passionate bloom of youth.
We inhale its ardent aroma and, no matter what our ages,
we feel young and nubile in a world aflame with desire.
- Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses, 1990, p. 13

1gb

Yeah... Just got myself a 1gb thumbdrive for $25!
Thumbdrives are selling so much cheaper than they were few years ago!
Best of all is... I like its colour - white! In compliance with my ipod shuffle!
Anyhow, I still have a 128mb thumbdrive which then costed me abt $30+?
Guess it's time for you guys to invest in thumbdrives too! Yet again, I believe the price will still be dropping when a higher storage capacity ones release! Hehehe...

Sporting Ah Pek



A sporting ah pek stood up & dance. Everyone applaused after he finished dancing. The performancers @ Esplanade Waterfront were quite stunted by his actions. They even gave him credits for being able to be himself! I was totally touched by his lively spirit, that tears silently rolled down my cheeks with happiness.
