King of Comedy* - R.E.M.

The King of Comedy has returned with a new movie - entitled "The New King of Comedy". Stephen Chow is back! And I absolutely love this new movie of his.

No, it's not a laugh out loud every 2 minutes kind of movie but i thought it was really really enjoyable. Some say it may be his own story - of how he made it to be a comedian.

I enjoyed it as it is a real story, about real people, with real issues, and real struggles, and real dreams. Stephen Chow is truly a genius to me.

The lesson of the movie is clear - hold on to your dreams, work hard and no matter what the obstacles are, if you are willing to persevere, you will reap the fruits.

This song from the movie was one of my favourite scenes in the movie. Enjoy.


*A track from their album, Monster.

No regrets* - Robbie Williams

"To say there are no regrets in life is to fool yourself. How boring life will be without regrets".

Gong Er (Zhang Ziyi's character) in The Grandmaster.

*Released in 1998, this song was among other things about him being in Take That.

Everything changes* - Take That

I saw some friends share this on social media and find that it is so true:-

Welcome to the 21st Century where sex is free and love is a pocket full of notes, where losing your phone is worse than losing your values. Where it is fashionable to smoke and drink, and if you don’t you’re obsolete. Where men cheat on their women with smiles, and if women do not do the same or worse, it is because they are afraid of believing that they will be caught. Where the bathroom was made for photos. 

21st Century, where women fear pregnancy more than HIV. Where the pizza delivery service arrives faster than the ambulance. Where people die of fear of terrorism and criminals more than their conscience. When clothes decide the value of a person, and having money is more important than having friends or even family. 

21st Century, where children are able to give up their parents for their virtual love. Where men and women only want relationships without obligations. Where love is a thing. 

A great 21st Century, where social media tells you how to live your life and gives you a fake perspective of life. 

21st Century where society is fake believing it’s perfect! 

21st Century, here you only survive if you play with reason, and you are destroyed if you act with your heart. 

21st Century where technology advances have changed our humanity. 

21st Century where others drag you down rather than to inspire you. 

21st Century where tendency to consider material possessions and physical comfort are more important than spiritual values. 

21st Century where a lot of fake personality hiding on their true identity. 

21st Century where others taking photo of their food first rather than praying. Where scandal videos are just like an anime spreading in social media. 

21st Century where Tattooed people easily compared to a bad person. 

21st century where your grammar is bad and people point it out instead of understanding.

*The title song of their album released back in 1994.

Something new* - Zendaya

So after almost a quarter of a century, I finally changed my old identity card (see pic) to one that displays a photo that looks more like me today. Surprisingly, I don't miss my long hair. Having short hair is so much more practical.

On another note, UTC services are the BEST!!!! One of the best things that the former PM introduced.

*This song samples TLC's Creep. It also features Chris Brown. It was supposed to be a duet with Babyface.

Goodnight and thank you* - Madonna and Antonio Banderas

Dear former students of Taylor's Law School, it is with sadness that I inform you all that one of our former colleagues and a great academic as well as a wonderful mentor and friend, Professor Norchaya Talib (or as we all fondly call her, Prof Nor) has passed away. Taylor's Law School wish to acknowledge her immense contribution to the school, to the students and to our lives.
