Hermat at the pool

Found my fav scene from the movie “Rushmore”.
The poignancy and humor in this scene is perfect.

Boys like you

I’ve been a 薛凯琪 (Fiona Sit) fan for awhile now. I think her voice and brand of pop songs are unique in its own way. Just recently I took a good look at the lyric of the song 男孩像你 “Boys like you”, only then I realize it was a story of an unrequited [...]

and everyone who knew [...]

Two turntables and a microphone… and Captain Kirk

The surprise…
I never thought the day would come that I will become a William Shatner fan (ok, close to becoming one). I mean, I’ve never been a fan of Captain Kirk. Spock was my favorite character. Beyong Star Trek I don’t really pay much attention to what the man does. I [...]

Growing up with Aimee

“Hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry…”
I still remember it was the year that Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” music video was overplayed on local TV. I was over at a friend’s so my dad can have some alone time with his then girlfriend. We were playing some card games and watching an American music award [...]

This makes great bonding moments for hipster parents and their kids… *sigh

The Road

Thinking about various uncertainties and the trial of a friend happened to be the wake up call,
“Hey, time to plan ahead and think a little further…”
Thinking and planning is one thing.
It still doesn’t take away the sudden attack of fear and anxiety.
The comfort of X
In what shapes does it comes now?
Feels like a stray at [...]
