The Leap Years ( A Date to Remember - 29th February)

2008-03-05T07:09:00.000-08:00

A Leap Year Romance
Over Four Leap Years

Will he show?
Will she wait?

This February 29th.
Take a leap of faith.

Director Jean Yeo’s debut feature is a shining example of a film done right. It all started with a strong and simple love story adapted from the well-known author Catherine Lim’s novella by proper scriptwriters into the well-paced treat that is The Leap Years.

The film follows Li-Ann, a leap year baby through a period of 16 years, or 4 leap years and centres mostly on the days leading up to her birthday. Potrayed brilliantly by the charming Wong Li-lin, the character of Li-Ann was a likeable romantic who chances upon Jeremy (Ananda Everingham) at a cafe one day and blind-dates him using the Irish tradition about 29th February, which allows a woman to propose a date to a man.

They promise to meet every leap year, and from there the film throws at its characters every cliche plot point, including the long-suffering friend, K.S (Qi Yuwu) who has long harboured feelings for Li-Ann but eventually gives up and move on. Li-Ann herself too moves on and… I probably shouldn’t spoil this for you.

Interweaved with Li-Lin’s scenes were Joan Chen, who narrates the story (the voice is actually of Beatrice Chia’s) from the future, while shot strangely blurry, fitted nicely into the narrative flow of the movie.

The Leap Years is a typical true blue romantic flick that borrows from the strength of Catherine Lim’s story, and despite the numerous cliches about having love and lost, Singapore’s first English-language movie is a well-put together film that has high production values and visual appeal (thanks to Hong Kong DOP Henry Chung), and a wall-to-wall carpet of Corrine May as soundtrack which serves only to add to its long list of selling points.

The Leap Years opens today in cinemas islandwide. Go catch it.

JI terrorist Mas Selamat still in S'pore

2008-03-01T21:53:00.000-08:00

JEMAAH Islamiah terrorist Mas Selamat Kastari, who has been on the run for nearly five days, is still believed to be in Singapore, police said on Sunday.
Police also believed he is 'acting on his own', and is not getting help from anyone.
Police said there is no evidence he has fled the country as he has no money, food, nor transport means.
With no means of his own, police warned that Mas Selamat, 47, who escaped from the Whitley Road Detention Centre on Wednesday at 4.05 pm, could resort to stealing items like clothes and food to get by.
Police also asked the public to look out for the fugitive who could be wearing stolen ill-fitting clothes or a cap.
Assistant Commissioner (AC) Wong Hong Kuan, Director of Operations, giving the first media update on the search for the JI fugitive, gave more detailed description of Mas Selamat's limp on the left leg.
AC Wong said the limp is not pronounced when he is walking but only shows up when he is running or walking fast.
Police have also spoken with his family members.
More than 1,000 policemen, and soldiers and special operation command forces are searching all over the country for him.
More than 54,000 posters and leaflets on the wanted man have been put up and distributed at public places and to residents of private homes.
Besides seeking the community involvement in the continuing manhunt for Mas Selamat, the search parties are combing all the forested areas in Singapore, including Sungei Buloh, and unoccupied buiildings.
Security checks at all the checkpoints have also been tightened. Interpol has also issued a red alert for Mas Selamat on top of a previous orange alert. The red alert means that any law enforcement officer among the international police network's 186 member countries can help arrest him on the spot.
Local telcos are also helping in the extensive search by sending free MMS messages - with a photograph of the fugitive - to some 5.5 mobile phone subscribers in Singapore.
The terrorist is described as short (1.58m) and weighs 63 kg.(From Straits Times)

Fabio Capello looks FORWARD

2008-02-05T18:36:00.000-08:00

England v Switzerland International Friendly 4am (SGT), Thursday 7 February 2008 Wembley Stadium

As he prepares for his first game in charge the new England Manager Fabio Capello has explained that he feels he can pass his 'winning mentality' on to the Three Lions - but that change should not be expected overnight. Having spent his first two days with the England squad, taking two training sessions on Monday and a further session on Tuesday morning, Capello has identified the most important areas to look at both on and off the training field.

Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Capello said: "What I will try to pass on to the team is a winning mentality and being confident in their own abilities, playing bravely especially when we are at home and being more confident in our strength when we are away. "I cannot perform miracles in three days. The important thing is to create a good group and make sure the team moves in the right way on the pitch. "We need to forget what happened in the past, whether you win or lose you should leave that behind you.'' Looking forward to Wednesday evening when he will lead his players out at Wembley for the first time, Capello said that once the game begins he will be too focused on the game to get nervous.

"When we get to Wembley I will be a bit nervous but when the game starts I will be 100% focused and concentrating on the game," Capello revealed. "I believe Switzerland are a good team. They have good players and they are very dangerous on the counter.'' When asked by journalists on how he wishes to be addressed by his players, Capello replied quickly: "Boss!'" He then went on to further answer the questions on rules: "If people are amazed by these rules then they are probably not used to having them. "I believe we have some obligations towards the fans and so I feel we need rules to work by, in an orderly fashion. "We have not many days together compared to when the players are with their clubs so we need some strict rules to create a group and a winning mentality that I want. "The players can call each other by first name or surname but eating together and getting up from the table together is just respecting other people.'' When looking at the differences between English football and the leagues in which he has managed in the past, Capello believes there is essentially little difference in terms of the football played - but that the numbers of home-grown players were fewer here."There are very similar aspects to Spain for example, but what is really interesting is that in England we have 38% of players who are English," Capello explained. "In Spain, a much higher percentage are Spanish players, so the manager of Spain has a much greater choice and this is something that needs to be reminded.''

Fabio Capello has revealed his reason for naming Steven Gerrard as captain for England's friendly against Switzerland at Wembley on Wednesday.

The Liverpool midfielder, who is due to skipper the side in the absence of John Terry, has not been given the job on a permanent basis, and Capello will make that decision ahead of England's World Cup qualifier against Andorra in September."Gerrard will be captain for this match," said the Italian coach."I have done it because I think he is an important player for England, according to my plans."He is a player who can pass on and transmit things to other players and inspire them."The Liverpool midfielder will lead the side out against Switzerland, becoming the first skipper under Capello's reign. It will be Gerrard's seventh match as captain.Gerrard, recently voted England Player of the Year for 2007 by the fans, has captained England for the previous four games in John Terry's absence.The 61-year-old has given no further indication as to the personnel likely to form the rest of the team and refused to comment on the likelihood of David Beckham winning his 100th cap in the future."It is my custom to tell the players the team before we leave the hotel for the match."I respect David Beckham for all of the things we did together at Real Madrid, but at the moment the most important people are those who will play on Wednesday, not the ones who are at home."

If you are betting on England v Switzerland, I (tipster) suggest you to take England at fixed odds. Good Luck to all gamblers betting on this match.

Till then, I look forward to the match tomorrow morning.

Edison Chen and Gillian Chung Naughty Pic Scandal

2008-01-31T08:05:00.000-08:00

Edison Chen and Gillian Chung, both actors, are now in the middle of a scandal as naughty pictures of their intimate bedroom activities has somehow been leaked onto the Internet. The pics are real. Chung was interviewed after the release of naughty pictures from a previous scandal. Chung should have learned the first time. You may not be able to understand Chinese, but those tears streaming down her face in the interview are universal.

These three pictures are evidence to prove why they are real.

Bobo's Chan mole was the matching point for the first picture beside it.

They even have pictures of matching similarities to show that it was taken in Edison's room.

As far as my opinion goes, considering Edison's bad boy image, it might have happen this way and somehow the photo got leaked out. However, there are very big chances that the photos are photoshoped as well. Moles can be put in, ornaments and posters can be arranged, ain't it?The fact that you can only see Edison's head at the edge seems a little fake for me.

The music video below stars Chen and Chung before the scandal broke.

If you want the nude pictures, ask me personally. hahaha....

Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?

2008-01-13T00:57:00.000-08:00

There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese.....

Thumb represents your Parents.
Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings.

Middle finger represents you.
Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner.
Last (Little) finger represents your children.

Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back.

Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip.
(As shown in the figure below):

Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.

Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)...., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.

Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)...., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.

Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse). You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT....., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!!

TOMKINS: WHAT'S CHANGED SINCE LAST SEASON?
Paul Tomkins 05 September 2007

Now is an easy time as a Liverpool fan to start getting carried away, and maybe that's dangerous. But if Reds can't enjoy this type of start to a season, they never will.After all, it's been a while. The league may be a marathon, not a sprint, but at least the Reds haven't started in concrete running shoes this time around. That can only bode well. It's hard to recall a better start in nearly two decades –– not just in terms of results, but the emphatic nature of the victories. The Reds are averaging about 20 shots a game at present, while Reina is a virtual spectator. Top of the league with a game in hand, having played less home matches than Arsenal (who have had three of their four games at the Emirates) and Manchester United, make for happy days. Those two teams have also yet to face another one of the 'big four', whereas Liverpool have already encountered Chelsea. The quality of opposition is now being questioned, but Liverpool have done enough to comfortably beat every team put in front of them –– home and away, in the league and in Europe –– and made them all look ordinary. And that includes Chelsea, who had luck on their side to escape Anfield with a draw. Not many visiting teams will win at Villa Park and the Stadium of Light. Indeed, Villa and Sunderland have won all their other home games, with Villa's two home wins including victory over Chelsea, and Sunderland's other home game a defeat of Spurs. I hinted at it last week, but I feel Benítez's men are wearing down the opposition, both physically and psychologically. There's a relentlessness about all aspects of the team's play. Torres and Kuyt, as strikers leading from the front, run defenders into the ground, and exhaust them mentally. They don't stop chasing back, but have the energy to be just as persistent and determined bursting forward. In midfield, everyone snaps in for the ball. Sissoko and Mascherano are like a pack of rabid hounds. Teams are closed down all over the park, and it's highly reminiscent of Rafa's Valencia at their best. But it needs a title to prove it. One of the players I'd most like to see win a Premiership medal is Sami Hyypia. When praising unsung heroes last week it never occurred to me to include the name of the great Finn. After all, he's received all the plaudits going. But these days perhaps that's his new role: the half-forgotten man. Last season, for the first time since he arrived in 1999 and reminded us what a proper centre-back was like, he was no longer a definite starter in the majority of matches. But news of his demise was greatly exaggerated. Both Agger and Hyypia started 23 games last season, although the Dane was playing more regularly in the second half of the campaign, so it looked like he'd nailed down the position (as much as anyone can.) However, Sami, with no pace to lose, has always had the chance to keep playing longer than those who rely on sprinting. Indeed, rather than end his Liverpool career, the arrival of Daniel Agger may help prolong it; as might the quality of the team as a whole, which protects the defence so well. Apparently a manager shouldn't rotate his defence, and yet when Benítez does so it doesn't seem to affect the continuity and organisation. So familiar and well-drilled are the individuals that they can seamlessly interchange. In six games, the Reds have conceded two goals, both penalties, one of which was a farcical decision. It's like the zonal marking debate which, tiresomely, trundles on. Clive Tyldesley continues to criticise it in his ITV commentaries, having failed to notice that a few set-piece goals conceded more than two years ago, when the system was bedding-in, are no longer relevant. Beside him, Jim Beglin stated "I don't like it", claiming that man-marking is what players feel more comfortable with. In his days at Liverpool that was possibly true; but back then the Reds hadn't spent three years tirelessly working on this particular kind of zonal marking system. Liverpool used what worked for them at the time, but people need to look at what is working now. Yes, Liverpool suffer the odd scare at set pieces, but very rarely concede from them. I like Jim Beglin as a summariser. And despite his United allegiances, Tyldesley was responsible for some seminal European Cup commentaries on the Reds for Radio City. Yet, when Hyypia was totally unmarked to head Liverpool's second, and then again moments later, as well as when Peter Crouch totally escaped his marker, there was talk of terrible marking ("how can you lose Hyypia/Crouch?") , but no mention of how useless man-marking as a system can be when the attacking team deploy any kind of clever movement at a set piece. (Poor man-marking also cost Chelsea the points at Villa Park on Sunday.) The season so far has confirmed that the Reds look capable of winning the title. Beyond that, it's tough to say what will actually transpire. What we don't yet know is how this team might deal with leading the league for a number of months, and the unique pressure it brings. Of course, it would be nice to find out. Then there is how the team handles the rest of the massive head-to-head games, particularly if they're in with a shout of the title, when the pressure grows really intense. A positive from the last three seasons is that Liverpool have played a number of these must-win games in the Champions League. As well as top foreign opposition, we've also seen the Reds succeed against other English teams. Chelsea have been beaten each season in such circumstances, while Manchester United have also succumbed in the FA Cup at Anfield. The pressure of the two recent Champions League finals, as well as the semi-finals against Chelsea, will stand the Reds in good stead in the big games in the title race. It's all good preparation. Of course, there's also the impact from all the injuries that may occur between now and May. Three broken bones and a punctured lung by late August hopefully means that plenty are now out of the way, but it doesn't necessarily work like that. But the squad suggests injuries can be dealt with. All the nonsense about Liverpool being a one- or two-man team have been blown out of the water with Gerrard and Carragher's absence. They are still the Reds' most important players in my eyes, but Liverpool now have a number of other 'go to' men, as well as the extra power gained from playing like a cohesive team. The playing style has evolved, but I don't think there's been a massive sea-change since last season. Most importantly, chances are now being taken, as well as defences stretched that bit more by the added presence of Torres, Voronin, Babel and, against Toulouse, Benayoun. I feel sorry for Crouch, but when you're 'rested' after a 4-0 win in which you scored, only for the next game to finish 6-0 with the new attacking players scoring four between them, you're not really in a position to question the decision. But he remains a great asset, and I'm sure he'll play a part in whatever success Liverpool have this season. It's just that the new players are adding hitherto absent dimensions. I never bought into the 'negativity' criticisms regarding the tactics last season; while the attacking play could have been improved upon (particularly in terms of pace), not taking a host of chances was the main shortcoming. I mean, are Manchester United, with a meagre three goals from five games, now a negative, defensive team? Of course not. So have Rafa's tactics changed that much? I'm not so sure. After all, Liverpool have just scored ten goals in four days with two ostensibly 'holding' midfielders (Sissoko and Mascherano, then Alonso alongside the Argentine). These are combinations that some critics said should not play together. Last week at Sunderland it was Sissoko scoring, this week Alonso with a brace. I argued last season that such a midfield didn't mean the Reds were negative; it's the same set-up as in the impressive 4-1 win against Arsenal in March. Sissoko, Mascherano and Alonso won't get into the box ahead of the strikers, but two have shown they can score from 20 yards (or more), while the other has also come close. And their strong defensive presence means two wingers from Pennant, Benayoun and Babel can play in tandem, and be given more licence to roam, as are Finnan and the ever-improving Arbeloa from full-back. However, when Gerrard plays centrally, Benítez tends to opt for the insurance policy of a more 'solid' option on one of the flanks, on account of his captain's desire to get forward. It maintains a nice balance. The last few games have also shown us what Ryan Babel has to offer. And while he obviously has a lot to learn at just 20, his quality is there for all to see. On Match of the Day, Alan Hansen was very critical of the Derby defending for the Dutchman's superb strike, but Chris Kamara did something interesting on Goals on Sunday: pausing the play on a wide-shot from a Main Stand camera at the exact moment Babel shaped to shoot. It looked 100% certain from his body shape that he was going to blast in a drive, and it made Babel's quick change of feet all the more remarkable. Somehow he readjusted, and slammed home a superb side-footed shot. He certainly generates some power with his instep, but it was a finish made all the sweeter for sending the keeper the wrong way. It was also an important goal in the context of the game. Getting the first goal, and then what will often prove the game-killing second, leads to relaxed players more able to take their chances. And confidence is brimming right now. But the difficulty will come on a day when nothing goes right, and luck is against the Reds. Of course, maybe we've already seen that with the Chelsea game. The worst thing now would be for the players to get carried away and think it's easy. But I just don't see those types at Anfield under Benítez, nor would he allow such attitudes to fester. He hasn't bought any slackers, and he's only really kept the winners from those he inherited. Some have criticised him for not going for virtuoso magicians in the transfer market, but the skilful players he has bought have a real team ethic and work-rate, and now we're seeing why he was so right to get this type of player. As a team, things are coming together very nicely. While it would be crazy to say Liverpool will definitely win the title based on six games, it's fair to say that the ability and the character appear present, both home and away. At this stage I'm sure we will all gladly settle for that, and take it game-by-game from here.

Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea

Liverpool and Chelsea played out a 1-1 draw which suggested the Barclays Premier League season could be a war of attrition right to the end.

The two clubs have played each other 16 times in three seasons and familiarity clearly breeds contempt with nine bookings and Hampshire referee Rob Styles coming in for flak from both sets of players as he fought to maintain order.
Fernando Torres' excellent first goal for Liverpool was all but forgotten as the yellow cards were waved, five for Chelsea and four for Liverpool. Captains Steven Gerrard and John Terry were among the bookings.
