Posted on November 29, 2013 by bookjunkie

I’m crazy about this song right now  – Your Love by The Outfield. And reminds me how I  loved the 80’s. A good time to be a teen. The era of the big hair, areobics and ridiculous shoulder pads. So … Continue reading →

Posted on August 27, 2012 by bookjunkie

A witty satirical music video by Mentos which makes fun of our government’s anxiety that Singaporeans are not producing enough babies. To me it also might be poking fun at sexist rap videos (I take it that way or some … Continue reading →

Moonrise Kingdom

Posted on August 2, 2012 by bookjunkie

Another wonderful movie I would recommend. Again, I greatly appreciate the loving attention to detail. Set in 1965, the musical score (Benjamin Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra) brought back memories. I think this must have been played both … Continue reading →

Before we got the tickets for the Domes, we walked around and we were impressed by the cool benches. Those I admit were beautiful. Shaped like crocodiles or just slabs of wood. I was real happy to find that I … Continue reading →

3 Brilliant Movies: Drive, Melancholia & Blue Valentine

Posted on January 9, 2012 by bookjunkie

You must watch Drive. I was riveted throughout. Very impressed by Ryan Gosling’s performance and I think he deserves an Oscar. I am usually terrified of violence as I tend to get nightmares but some movies are so good I … Continue reading →
