Something about these actors that really just work. The priest is almost exactly as a priest should be, welcoming, open, helpful. And yet, he hides a terrifying secret. And the unnamed man. *David*. Impressive. From the beginning you sort of suspect the direction that this video will take and when all is revealed. It is powerful when all is revealed, it is startling, and it is ultimately poignant the way it ends. I particularly appreciated the way it was scored.
Both charecters are flawed men. Men who illicit sympathy at first, hatred later and eventually horror. They are weak men, pathetic men that emphacise the modern fallacy that things can and will be all right, with therapy, with science, with religion. Some things are too great, too heinous to ever be cured.
My first taste of Mooting is over, and what a bitter sweet taste it is. Mooting as an activity is decidedly non contact. It’s meant to be a way to simulate the proceedings of a court room. Usually the House of Lords or the Court of Appeal in the UK. This of course means that you are expected to be throughly overprepared, and able to carry yourself with such force of will and agility of wit that ultimately no one will be able to stand in your way.

2008 was a year of ups and downs, a year which started so optimistically and ended with such trepidation. We had to end it with a bang. And What a bang it was. My mother was so proud, kitting us all out in Massimo Dutti and in matching stripes. A picture perfect family. ALL the pictures after the jump
The Amuse Bouche provided was most excellent. Light, creamy and extremely tasty. Read More »

The response to this chocolate cake was so overwhelming at the Tech65 100th Episode that, I thought I should do a whole new post about it even though the recipe’s available on a previous blogpost of mine. The recipe is so simple it beggars belief, but the French have always been best known for taken something simple and making it absolutely incredible.
Ingredients:
200g DARK (70% Cadbury’s was used here) Chocolate (i used 220, what’s 20 grams among friends)
200g Sugar (1 cup)
200g butter
4 Eggs
1 tbsp Flour Read More »
Dinner this year Christmas Eve was an elaborate but unsophisticated affair, at Da Paolo Il Giardino @ Cluny Court Road. One of the finest restaurants in Bukit Timah road, without the outrageous prices charged in some places in Orchard Road. Da Paolo has a reputation of great Italian food, served attentively. I was pleased with my experience at this resturant.
Best Calamari I’ve had in a long time! *Even better than… Peperoni’s!* Read More »
