Return to Sender

Some years ago (yes, years) I discussed an idea with a friend, Justin Wong. That idea became a film script which we co-wrote, and Justin ultimately made that script into a short film.

The film has been out for a while; I honestly don't remember why I did not post it here but anyway, here it is.

It is admittedly a flawed end-product, but we (especially Justin) learnt a lot from the process of translating a script into film. Nabihan, who plays Vanessa, is a gem in this one.

It will be sent to some local screenings here and there.

Tell me what you think.

Young Hearts Run Free

Now this is what you call a cover.

The High Price of Materialism

A good message/reminder, even if you aren't American.

Don't text and drive yo!

The Power of Demilitarization

I heard this speech this morning on BFM89.9 and thought it was brilliant, and worth listening to as the 13th Defence Services Asia 2012 Exhibition is on-going at Putra World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur (the exhibition's proximity to Wisma Putra is too easy to make fun of).

It's such a short and simple speech, but so powerful.



Nobel Laureate Óscar Arias has twice been the President of Costa Rica, a country which voluntarily dismantled its army.

I Won't Give Up

Petter Hollens is awesome. That is all.

Go! Gogogo! Gogogo!

I think the direction for this video is tasteful and polished.

BTW, can you spot Elvira Arul?

Pure Win

Good Morning World

Heard this on BFM89.9 just now and thought it was an interesting take on the famous Bond song. Apparently Sir Paul himself chose Duffy to cover it.

Am I really who I was?

The Joy of Books

Yup, nothing.

Guang

Guang, a short film by Quek Shio Chuan, is a tribute to the director's older brother. It won Best Film at the BMW Shorties 2011 Competition as well as Best Actor, Best Screenplay and Best Sound Design.

There is something about this girl. Seriously.

In Your Arms

Kina Grannis and director Greg Jardin worked for 2 years to create this video clip. Talk about dedication. This is for SKR.

I don't usually feature ads but this one's briliant.

Just finished reading 'The English Patient' yesterday. Great stuff.

I'm wondering whatever happened to Sean Ghazi. Ayone has a clue? If there's any justice in the world he should be famous by now. Sigh.



How have your Chinese New Year celebrations been going? Well I hope. Honestly, I am just.so.not.in.the.mood this year. I just feel so tired of the world right now. Weltschmerz as the Germans call it. Don't ask why. I don't really know myself.

I hope you feel perkier than I do.

P.S. Congrats too Boo and Chloe on their new baby girl!
