Welcome

Hello. and Welcome to my new blog. This would be my 4th, the first being 4 years old and the 2nd occassionally used for long excerpts; the third, a group blog with some of my friends in SIM.

I usually refrain from setting up blogs but wait... I recall owning one more --- a prize-winning one in fact. Not to brag, but I am happy to share with you that I am selected as a December finalist for the Windows Live “Movies on Spaces” Contest! The winning entry is the one on Quinceañera. Actually I only wrote 2 reviews. Please vote for me!!! SMS to 73300 MOS[space]NRIC[space]GENDER[space]1

I started writing movie reviews a few years back, on and off, when the movies really left me with a tummy of thoughts, and pasted them on my first blog. I wrote on Matchpoint, The Butterfly Effect and American Beauty, my favourite. It was fun, deciphering images and symbols. Semiotics intrigue me alot. I also re-wrote lyrics and poems for a short period of time. Guess this is what you would call creative writing.

Besides writing, I also like trading. Like many auction sellers, I find items at bargain prices or rare items and sell them at a profit. I started off with selling off my junk during one of the spring cleaning season and realised I really enjoyed it. It's like having a flea market without paying rent and a physical shop. I work primarily at Yahoo! Auctions Singapore but I'm happy to announce that I am breaking into the international market at eBay.com!
