This is a mood board post from one of my favourite films, The Island (2005), starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson. It features the character Tom Lincoln’s house, whose fictional address is 3460 Seaside Walk, San Pedro, CA 90781.

When September ends
September breezed by knowingly, yet unknowingly. I had just come back from the Bloom Women’s Conference in KL and landed straight at home to attend a beautiful wedding at Parkroyal on Pickering. Then I was off to the Design Film Festival, spending my hard-earned money on Barbicania, 808 and Iris, three films I really enjoyedContinue reading “When September ends”

I walk by him every morning at the train station. I walk past him every evening at theContinue reading “The King of the Mountains”
The Eye of Sherlock
The eye of Sherlock is how we’re first introduced to the greatest detective in the world in the 2010 BBC series Sherlock. Upside down, glazed over, bored yet meticulous in its tinge of marble blue. If not for Benedict Cumberbatch, our superhero sleuth would never have intrigued the minds of so many around the worldContinue reading “The Eye of Sherlock”

On a recent flight to Melbourne, I managed to watch I Am Bruce Lee (2012), a 90-minute documentary aboutContinue reading “There can only be one Bruce Lee”
