xiaoqiang says: apologised for not blogging this 2 days. it must be the hot! hot! hot! weather . It's time to get your shades out people. gotta protect our eyes. Went Sheraton Towers yesterday for lunch with my colleague. nice ambience though. we were having ala carte by the glass wall with a man-made waterfall. With carps or kois swimming. how nice to have lunch with sun rays occasionally lins in; with every change of cutlery and plates after each course. it's almost like a royalty treatment. *drool* will be looking forward to have dinner, heard the view of the waterfall is more beautiful in the evening.

if your com/laptop allows you to listen to the background music, you are listening to Lizards Convention Beverly. yes, i support local bands, Lizards Convention, Humpback Oak, Concave Scream( according to dickson, concave scream belongs to indie genre which i don't quite fancy nowadays. but i do like their songs during my poly days. ), etc..... but sad to say, our local music scene, mainly the english ones are not widely publicise. the song "No More Tears" was 1st heard(i think) in a local movie, "Teenage Textook".

i am looking for the film. can someone tell me where can i find it?

a little bit about....

A story about love, lust and lechery, an unexpected romp through the homes, schools and love lives of people teetering on the brink of teen and adulthood.

Adapted from Adrian Tan's light-hearted and humorous story about teenagers grappling with growing up in modern-day Singapore, was first published in 1987. Since then, it has undergone several reprints and warranted a sequel, The Teenage Workbook. Both books have sold more than 100,000 copies in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, becoming one of Singapore's best selling novels of all time.



Mega Media financed and produced The Teenage Textbook Movie. The film went on to gross more than $800,000 and topped the Singapore box office for 4 weeks, beating all the Hollywood films during the 1998 year-end season. The film went on to become a best seller on Video and VCD through Warner Home Video and was the first Singapore feature to be sold to international cable network Cinemax.
