A Hermit's Muse

Commonwealth Forest Park, Malaysia

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 13:06:44 +0800

Another family trip to Commonweath Forest Park yesterday (Monday - Public Holiday). So, Muse thought it’s another great opportunity for some photography practice session. Although Muse is only using a point-n-shoot camera but still need lotsa practice with it.

Therefore, Muse went trigger happly throughout the picnic. Hope you like the end product ;)

Mad World

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0800

Today, I had the urge to watch Donnie Darko. Was lead to his film when I was on a mission to gather all versions of the song Mad World lately made talk of the town by Adam Lambert.

His rendition of the song was absolutely soul stirring. It is just like it reaches out and grab you. I am hooked. Adam effectively gave that song a new breath of life. In fact, he did that to many other cover songs too.

Now MAD WORLD has been playing repetitively on my head till now especially today as I am effectively trapped in the house with my lil’boy who is down with a flu :&

I can’t wait till Adam’s debut album comes into the market *anxious*.

Muse is so excited that The Sims 3 has finally reached iTunes Stores on Tuesday 2-June-2009.

Just bought the game app at US$9.99 from iTunes for my iPod Touch yesterday (3-June-2009, Wednesday).

You can read more about the iPhone/iPod Touch version of this awesome game here.

Am now busy playing with it trying to score all the goals set for my Sim called Ethan, a blonde young man with lotsa freckles on his face. LOL. But he’s a cutey. A nice guy sort.

Yea I made that Collage (image) up there *grin*. Yup, you are looking at my Ethan up there ;)

P/S: Click on the pix to view a larger version of it. Larger but not much. Sorry :P

Muse’s new handphone decor. I don’t usually go for anything pink. But since they don’t have cute white fluffy ones I have to settle for the pink one to compliment my white handset.

Bundles of Joy by Teemy

Our Dwarf Hamster of about half-a-year, Teemy gave birth to her 1st litter of pups yesterday evening. Eight (8) pups altogether. But 2 died so only 6 left. Had only notice them when I got home in the evening after work and was eating my dinner then. Could have saved the other two (2) if I notice it earlier.

They make me feel squeamish in the beginning but I still think that they are rather cute. My boyboy was so excited that he named them all on the spot. LOL.

Nokia 6120 Classic aka Smartphone

Muse is just so excited about getting this phone by today. Never have any experience with a smartphone before. So this is a good start ;)

Was actually quite torn between Nokia 6120 Classic and Sony Ericsson K660i. In terms of looks Sony Ericsson wins hands down. But speaking of durability and stability it’s Nokia is a sure winner.

My old phone Sony Ericsson T630 of 4 years plus has to be retired to due faulty keypad and many other ailments.

Here’s the spec and review. By the way I am getting the white one. Hubby is going for the black one.

Mighty Thunder, Blinding Light

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 14:44:00 +0800

It’s raining cats and dogs outside. Muse used to be pretty frighten of thunder and lightning. Somehow it’s not as scary to Muse nowadays.

In fact now Muse finds it to be quite a breathtaking sight.

Senseless

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 10:16:00 +0800

Film: Senseless
Release Date: 2008 (UK)
Genre: Crime / Drama / Thriller
Plot: Based on Stona Fitch’s novel, this is the story of a wealthy US businessman (Behr) whose brutal kidnapping and torture are streamed online as part of an ultra-violent reality TV show - (source: IMDB)
Main Cast: Jason Behr, Emma Catherwood, Joe Ferrara

Muse watched Senseless (2008) yesterday night - alone on my laptop. I had to agree with many of its reviews that it was a truly disturbing film. Hard on the stomach too. It had me grimacing and flinching throughout the show. Muse kept plugging and unplugging the headphones in bid to lessen the intensity of the horror unfolding on the screen.

It was amazing how the sheer willpower to live could push a person to survive the most horrifying ordeals both mentally and physically.

This film was based on a book by Stona Fitch which was described as a disturbing and contraversial novel by readers. Click here to read more on the book at the author’s site.

Here’s the trailer of the film.

Word of advice, this film is really not for those with a weak stomach or heart. So don’t blame me if you get a heartattack while watching it or decorated your beautiful rug with your dinner.

P/S: Muse is now very curious about the book itself. Hoping she can get her hands on it sometime soon.

Tis Microblogging Time for Da Muse!

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 10:58:00 +0800

Muse thinks TUMBLR might just be the answer to her blogging woes. Been missing doing it of late.

Therefore, Muse started thinking that if she can’t do regular blogging due to time constrain, why not try out microblogging instead. So voila! Here she is :D
