Les Triplettes de Belleville
This Oscar-nominated French animation (2003) has to be the most bizarre cartoon I've watched to date... But on the other hand the drawings are so captivatingly unique and plot so refreshing I have to concede that this is a really cool show ;) In addition, most of movie was in pantomime-form; aside from the opening song, dun recall hearing more than 10 spoken sentences throughout show... Can read more about the plot here. If anyone's interested, I have the VCD... got it some years ago but never watched it till just now ;)

This Christmas.... I was a free-rider... of someone else's cool gadgets haha. Got to try someone else's Nintendo Wii and... must say that it's a pretty good ego-booster. And makes for great indoor family entertainment. Everyone and anyone can become a good sportsman/sportswoman... and without having to move very much at all... Even this Shi Min can like defeat her opponent at boxing... ;) But the REALLY cool thing about Wii is its ability to detect motion AND have your 'on-screen persona' imitate them simultaneously... half the time I was just wondering how on earth the sensor does that...
And here's the MONSTER ending song! - "For the Love of Life".... (might take some time to load though)

Long weekend...
I basically spent my long weekend lazing and doing almost nothing. Finished the entire Vol 1 of Monster hehe. Scouted around for other volumes, but realised that they were easily 30 something per volume... so have decided to watch the remaining episodes online. The ending song is eerily nice (Shall put it here next time). In case you're wondering if Shi Min has morphed into some psychological thriller fan overnight-- I really haven't. It's just that behind all this seemingly scary ju4 qing2 in this anime series, there's like all this history-related snippets abt East Germany and like a hidden commentary about human nature... Which makes this whole series rather appealing on the whole.
On Sunday, also got down to designing a 'book cover' for a lil booklet my section will be making for our DD... Actually had no idea what to do; but somehow once I got into it, creative juices started flowing... and I had something tweaked along the color scheme of our SERS logo. Haven't done anything arty for a long time... but I realised while doing this that the affinity I have for doing such frivolous things is as strong as ever.
Here it is! My tiny piece of art :)
Lastly, would like to wish all my dear friends who read this blog a Merry Xmas! Spend a little quality time with your loved ones yeah?
