New Man Jan 2008 - Bao Hoa (NSFW)

Bao Wow! Amazing curves, fair porcelain skin. Vietnam's latest export. A new year is nearing and New Man seems to have cat-eye like models for this issue. Yes, I have a soft spot for such eyes. Some may say they look sleepy, to me its welcoming. :)



In addition, we have Channel [V] Marion C, in her poses with her hair flowing over her face, with her cute little smile. Much like the way PussyCat Dolls does it. I like her most with her hand pushing her hair up, those eyes really can mesmerize.

Jenny Chu - Hot Asian in a Bikini (NSFW)

Probably one of my favourite models, Jenny Chu. 5'3", Chinese/Vietnamese, this girl can dance, model and host. Yes, I drooled when I first saw her haha! Anyway, if you want to see more of her, here's her website!

She is Miss PHM 2007. What's PHM you may ask? Pure Hot Model!

Maxim Dec 2007 - Andrea Fonseka (NSFW)

Andrea Fon sek a, try saying that syllable by syllable. Yes finally she is on a cover of Maxim, on a lingerie debut. We always see her on tv as part of Deal or No Deal, or as a host in some of the shows like Live the Dream. Those eyes really can capture you from across the room. With her sexy moves dancing and singing for Live the Dream advert, you wonder what else more she can do.






But she isn't the only one in the Maxim book, Anna Takiko, I have not seen her before but with her mix of Brazilian and Japanese (Japzilian?), you'd feel like doing the Samba.

Movie Review - Beowulf (should be rated R21)

Amazing animation. Which isn't much of a surprise after seeing the trailer. Although some movements do look rigid almost robot-like eg horse riding, leaping from point to point, running. Anyway, I can rave about the realistic skin textures, the lightings, realistic looking water, etc. But I guess you guys know abt it already.

The movie is pretty good, although the acting could have been better (I am talking about more expressiveness from their faces and body actions) But the voices behind the characters are quite well done. Well, why not, we have Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Angelina Jolie..... Ahhh.. Angelina Jolie, it is just amazing what computers can do to a woman's body. Almost flawless, near perfection, yes you get to see all that when u watch it.

Imagine this scene, she arrives from a pool of water, revealing her head as the water flows away from her hair, she emerges and her flawless face looks at you with a wicked look in her eyes and yet sultry. The water glows with a blue hue around her as she reveals herself. The camera moves around her body and she moves out of the water slowly, revealing her back. The camera then moves to the front and you will see her emerge further from the water. A full frontal show begins, she emerges from the water as the camera stays in position, her body reveals her collar bones, and then down to her firm breasts, all wet and silky. Her golden skin seems to drip away as her skin turns into human skin. Her hips sways as she moves towards Beowulf, her tummy shows a near muscular tone. As the camera moves down further, you will get to see her erogenous zones. And then down to her thighs and legs. Almost like it was all taken in slow motion for you to 'savour' the moment.

Yup, something to look forward to when you see the movie.Ok back to the movie. The movie has it's sexy parts and also it's gory parts. I do not recommend this movie for a date, but if you are into seeing bodies being ripped apart and heads being eaten alive, plus the merciless killing of the monsters, then go ahead. The action sequence reminds me of the game God of War, where you kill monsters or giant weird creatures by ripping them apart piece by piece. And the hero stands up with his triumphant victory over the creature.

I do not want to reveal more of the film because I don't wanna spoilt it for ya but the bits above should get you excited abt it. I give it 3/5 stars. Yes I love the gore and seeing women all naked and revealing, but the story line just lacks a certain 'umph!'. I didn't feel like Beowulf was heroic, just a man with extraordinary strength whose weakness is the beauty of women. And I didn't feel like he had a strong bond with his men, that I feel lacks the human element of a leader when his men die in battle. It was more on his own self pride, boasting of his escapades; fighting creatures in the air, land and sea.

There were funny parts in the movie though. Esp with his best friend by his side. Keep a look out for their conversations together.

Now some of the female readers might think this is a movie for the guys, but I think it might also appeal to the girls as well. You will get to see well toned men in the movie, esp Beowulf where he will sleep naked as he awaits for the monster. Why is he sleeping naked? Well his reason is because he wanted to fight the creature as equals..... Well you will figure that out later. Anyway, before that, he will actually start stripping in front of the queen and as he slips off his last shed of clothing, she gasped, blushed and hurries away quickly to her room. No guess what she might do next in there.

Overall, the movie was pretty good. I was expecting something like a LOTR kind of action, with lots of war battles, but it was mostly skirmishes, no large armies battling against each other (there was one part where there were war battles but it was just a short scene). The sexiness and gore was a plus for me, and so is the script. They characters used selective words to describe things, I do not know if they used to talk like that before, but it was quite understandable. Although the initial part of the movie left me a bit clueless as to what they were talking about, maybe because the scene started out with a room of drunkard men and women, merry making.

So there it is: 3/5 stars.


If the same quality was made ten years ago, many ppl would love it's near realism, but it's a norm now with that kind of CGI. Watching Angelina coming out of the water like that, reminds you of how Lara Croft might look like without clothes. I think that part just keeps the movie goers coming in to watch.

Looks matter? - The deception

I was browsing through the magazine section of the supermarket. Loads of magazines, different genres. Not to mention the men's section filled with covers of women in sexy poses and eye opening outfits. My eye caught the attention of the FHM cover with 2 girls on the front, I saw that earlier yesterday and thought of getting myself one, but just before I could reach it, another magazine caught my eyes.

Yes, Newman. Front cover of Jaymee Ong posing in a tight top with spandex pressing against her chest creating a bulge so prominent you'd wonder whats the spandex for when the dress top is tight enough to hug her body. And topping it off, she gives this demure yet sexy look so sizzling you'd just feel mesmerized looking at her. One look at the cover and images of that sexy young teachers during my secondary school days came popping up in my mind. I am sure men who have lived through the secondary period do remember that 'special' teacher who just emits 'HOT HOT HOT' all around. And the blood of 'just turned puberty boys' keeps boiling through the periods when she is present in class.

Ok, back to the topic. I know some men will start wondering why not FHM instead of Newman? I am not here to create a rivalry between the fans of both magazines but just relating this incident of mine in the supermarket with the topic.

Yes, both magazines have HOT covers which answers the question. YES! Looks DO matter...... but to a certain extent. Newman has been my favourite before my NS days, not just because of the cover (of course that plays a part) but also the content. NOt that FHM doesn't have good content, they do, I read them before I got Newman, but Newman just have more structured content, pleasing layout and not a bombardment of colours in a page. And the colors on the front cover is just refreshing. I do not know if they got themselves a new photographer or graphic designer but their look have improved a lot.

This actually relates to design too, even in print or web. The look of the web or print may be all pleasing and attractive but in the end, the content matters. People want to read good content, content that attracts them and want you to bring more into them in the next issue.

In life it is almost similar, looks do matter yes, but if you do not have content then you are just a turn off. Boring, monotone, etc, these kind will just make their dates delete their numbers from their cellphones.

But I'd like to point out, that even though looks matter it doesn't mean that one discards something or someone just because it or that person is not attractive. In reality of course, you have to know the person to see the beauty that's is hidden.

My point for creating this topic as my first is because I'd like to point out that whether you're pursuing in design or trying to look good for yourself in front of the mirror, is all just a tip of the iceberg. One has to better oneself to complete the picture. Better oneself in character like learning humility, patience, understanding, tolerance, etc. I have seen beautiful people here in this country and there are no shortage of them around, but sometimes even their visual beauty can't hide their ugly character.

So guys and girls, in this faced pace island of ours, remember to be polite, kind, thoughtful and don't be too sensitive. You may be the most prettiest girl in the MRT cabin but if you shoove me aside to get a seat without saying excuse me, you are just plain ugly.


Here's an interesting vid on looks. The documentary shows how looks can give a different perception on people.
