Sinners

 A fun and engaging romp. Watched in IMAX

Supernatural movies done right are always good, irresistible fun, and more so when peppered with a touch of American history. 

Reminds me of 'from dusk till dawn'.  Shooting the lead as two different characters in the same frames is a a technical marvel (and I cannot fathom how it's done)

Sg airlines

 Cost $400+, not much different to any regular budget airlines experience. The only highlights were the neatly dressed air stewardesses and a free cup of drinking




Face recognition, passport not required..! 



I don't understand these people who pay more than required 






Klia1 - a hit of nostalgia..!

Day of detox 3 4 5

 Engrossing with my renewed endeavour with flutter (this time with the help of AI).  It has been occasionally satisfying but is still a journey of frustration 

Other breather activities

Day of detox 2

JB museum of Chinese settlement



Old school Chinese character typewriter 


Famous eats





Air Asia 


Had to joy to experience a 5 hour delay, and be compensated with a refreshment pack 



Also tried the legendary a&w coney dog separately. Soft warm bread, Al Dante sausage, rich satisfying onion sauce.  It was a pleasant surprise. 


And I clocked 17k steps getting shoved around throughout the day.

Day of detox 0

Many years ago I heard on a HK radio station an overview of the Sherlock Holmes series. It was a captivating session, and I thought what a captivating journey it would have been to read all the stories 

Some time later I chanced upon the first and second collection of short stories and I found them to be absolute page turners, and decided that they were the best books I ever read. I found out that the author had decided to retire the character after that but relented to reviving it. I hence decided not to read those subsequent works that the author reluctantly wrote

I just finished the second novel and is on my third. Once I finish all four novels I will consider my magical journey compete. 

The four novels of the canon:

  1. A Study in Scarlet (1887)
  2. The Sign of the Four (1890)
  3. The Hound of the Baskervilles (1901–1902)
  4. The Valley of Fear (1914–1915)
