Kinsey. The cinema was packed. Wonder why everybody was on this side instead of the other, which was screening My Brother. Surely there are enough Won Bin fans in the audience ...

Well, as a ... biography of a great man, I would say that ... not enough justice was done to him. Then again, how does one synthesis several decades of work into a 2 hours movie? I would still tip my hat off to the director.

One thing I learned of the man, whom I do not know of before this film ... I trust my psychology and social studies' friends know him intimately ... the man may know a hell lot about his fellow men's sexual habits, but he sure is clueless of handling the thoughts and feelings of those who are near him ...

Liam Leeson is a terribly underated actor. I hope he wins a few awards with this movie.

Bumped into an old friend on the bus on the way home. We were great pals in Uni, but lost touch once we stepped into society. And you know what? The first time I told him ... you've put on weight. Just like me ...

It sounded almost, natural, so, matter-of-fact. I guest our parents would have inquired if you have eatened; other friends would ask where you are working, are you married, do you have kids ... and the first thing I can think of is your waistline ...

I guess I have ways to show I care. Hah hah ...

I have just sent my 10th CNY greeting card.

Most friends tell me to not bother, just send emails or sms would be fine. But I am from the old school, who treasures, and still keeps, those pieces of card, standing beside my computer and me now, with a few scriblings and signatures, just to softly remind that, we have friends ...

How nice is that?

By the way, I mostly send to married friends, who have their own homes. This way, they can put my card on top of their tv, or hi-fi set, and then for a few nights, they can be reminded that they have a friend in me ... and I hope and I pray that they would also write a card to me back ... so I can put next to me now ...

Then life goes on ...
