A-Go

A-Go (Crocodile) is a movie by Kim Ki-Duk. I just finished downloading it and was scanning through the movie when I realised…
That the subtitles are in Italian.
I saw “Coccodrillo”, “per favore”, “per la prima volta” and I was like, oh NO.

Port 101

I’m dying. Portuguese is hard. I don’t know what the heck is going on. I have 2 vocab quizes on tomorrow, 300 words to learn. ALL foreign to me. I spent the past 2.5 hours flipping the dictionary. And the last hour I gave up and used the translator on my dashboard (which happens to [...]

Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Madness, irrationality, genius, brilliance.

Things I’ve learnt to appreciate about Singapore

1. Looking at the shopping scene here, I now understand why STB brands Singapore as a shopping paradise. While it still is far from the likes of Hong Kong and Tokyo, it’s definitely got some standard. Over here, Downtown is just about as big as Stanley Park.

車屋さん!

GOSH.
I can’t contain my excitement!
The original 車屋さん!

Now compare it to the Tokyo Jihen version:

PR S3 Ep 10

GOSH.
What a boring and screwed up episode. They had to bring back Angela and Vincent on account that they won previous challenges. Nonsense. Bring back the real talent! Like Keith and Alison. Anyway, I’m so grossly underwhelmed by this episode Bravo better make the next one good.
It’s down to the final 4 now: Laura, [...]
