We always remember the childhood places dont' we? Places we frequented, visited and places where we have fond memories of. Good photographers with an artistic soul, besides being able to make buildings come alive, will feel that buildings and places and its architecture have their moods and see things in a different light. In a mundane world, catching a movie is often a delight whether it was in the 70s, 80s, 90s or even right now. 20th Century Fox the name when first hatched must have seemed like a distant future. Even the movies back them that have futuristic themes depicted a chaotic world or a world where cars could fly in say 2012 and we would go wow, so long from now, may be such things are possible. I remembered during the childhood days, there'll be occasions when  a lorry would come to set up a giant screen and start screening free movies in an open space for a few nights.  For the hottest movies in town, we have to go queue for many hours just to try to...

There are some intriguing movies that you have watched or books that you have read where the story is told from back to front. Such plots can be quite interesting. Let me share with you this interesting movie "Memento" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vS0E9bBSL0 . Dealing with memory loss can be quite a terrifying thing as the character in this movie suffered from short term memory loss. I mean you don't even know who you are and the people around you. Worse, if there are people out to get you and meant you harm. Ask Jason Bourne of Bourne Identity (Matt Damon). If you haven't even seen these movies what are you waiting for? Memory loss? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD-uQreIwEk (Bourne Identity) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOLviFy9inA (Bourne Supremacy) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJoVljaZP0k (Bourne Ultimatum) I am not crazy or fixated in life over certain things like the 5Cs or the dream and the charmed life. Life's not just about gainin...

How would you live your life if your life were a movie? Would it be different if you know that you are being scrutinized? Would you tell your story in first person or third? In the first place, would you even allow your story to be told? Could it be embarrassing, disastrous, exciting or great? Would your story be written as a book first and then adapted into film then finally turned into a soap opera and series on television? Will it inspire others and bring glory to your family? Would you live your life differently if you were told before hand that it would be made into a movie. Would your story bore the audience to death even if it were not full of embarrassment as everything is so routine and dead set? When we watch a movie or soap opera, we can see the plot, the different characters of each actor in the role and their personality. Sometimes, an actor can play the role so well that audiences actually hated him or her even when they meet in person. This means that the actor wa...

There is always something to learn whoever you are, wherever you are and whatever situation you are in. Once, we were walking on the street and had to stop at a traffic junction awaiting the pedestrian man to turn green. At this point, a little boy ran towards us and attempted to cross the street. We stopped him. Very soon, his parents came by to take charge and instead of thanking us, made a remark that their child is a smart boy and know how to cross the street. This is beyond reason. Do you agree with me that when walking on the streets, parents should be holding their children's hands until they are of a certain age? You can teach very young children to be aware of open windows without grills but when they are young even if very clever they are still children. When they are happily playing they can forget. Even adults get into freak accidents. There are children around the world who while jumping on their bed which were unfortunately placed near the window, cascaded out of...
