My Mom Cross-Dressed Me When I Was Young!

Either she wanted a girl, or she wanted to wait for the moment that I grew up to use it against me. Haha! Well, I’m gonna do one better than her and shame myself instead! Take that mom! And she repeated that feat again with another dress! Haha! Well, one thing for sure, after looking...

Michael Jackson’s This is It – My Thoughts

Before I venture on penning my sentiments, I want to state the obvious – this is NOT a movie review because “THIS IS IT” was never plotted to be a movie in the first place! I spent RM120 for a pair of tickets at the Gold Class just to see one of my favorite artist, Michael...

Yahoo Closes Geocities – The Beginning of the End

[ad] It was the in thing in the late 90s – I used to have my own homepage hosted on Geocities. I can’t remember what was the website URL that I used, it could’ve been Sunset Strip. I remembered how I created my homepage, black background, with white fonts, and designed an...

Remember a handheld game called WESTERN BAR? Nov21

Remember a handheld game called WESTERN BAR?

[ad] Man, back in the late 80s, I used to be hook on this game. Not that I ever owned one, but I borrowed from a good friend of mine. I used to regularly without fail, visit his house during Raya, and also other days, to play this game, and also SUBMARINE. We did have Nintendo back then, but...

Our Lives Before the Computer Nov20

Our Lives Before the Computer

I clearly remembered before computers came to our shores. I bought my first computer in 1995, a 486DX, costing over RM4000. The computer was a nice addition to my life. I didn’t need it. 10 years later, without computer, I would “die”. No, it’s not blogging nor social...

Mass Hysteria at Sekolah Menengah Sultan Salahuddin in 1990

[ad] Yes. I’ve experienced first hand. It was one evening during class, I think it was Art’s class, the last subject before the end of session. Our class were “floating”, in the sense that we do not have any permanent room, but float around to an empty room available...

Level 42 – Lessons in Love (Running in the Family) Oct19

Level 42 – Lessons in Love (Running in the Family)

[ad] This is arguably, my favorite 80s Brit Pop tune ever. I love how the verse kicks off in this 1986 track, which was Level 42′s biggest hit. I remember dancing to this tune and a host of 80s brit pop tunes at Waikiki’s PJ in the early 2000s, when they were less commercialized....

Boney M – One Way Ticket Jul13

Boney M – One Way Ticket

Frank Farian, the dude behind Boney M & Milli Vanilli, initially recorded this tune with a band called Eruption back in the 70s. Somehow, since he was linked to the founding of Eruption, this song was re-released under Boney M. Not many people outside of Asia are really aware of their...

Beverly Hills 90210

Back in the early 90s, there were 2 things that made almost 95% of the school girls crazy, New Kids on the Block and a show called “Beverly Hills 90210″. It dominated TV in the early 90s revolving around a group of teenagers living in Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills...

Lock Up (1989) Nov16

Lock Up (1989)

Critics hated it, and it won 3 razzies. But I loved this movie. It’s a typical Stallone movie, way better than “Rambo” – more in the veins of “Over the Top”. There are a few Stallone movies that I enjoy, “Rocky” series, “Lock Up”,...

Moonwalker (1988) Oct15

Moonwalker (1988)

Annie are you okay? Are you okay Annie?! It was a collection of short movies about MJ, a few long versions of MJ’s music videos. It starts with children re-enacting MJ’s “Bad”, followed by Speed Demon, MJ disguising himself as a rabbit (in clayform) to avoid overzealous...
