ministry of sound

am not really into clubbing...well...come to think of it...am not really into anything !!

anyway...this good friend of mine...decided that he would show me this most happening club in singapore...its in a place called clarke quay...now clarke quay is this place...where most of singapore hangs out during the weekends...fine restaurants...pubs...clubs...live music...the place is vivacious...

ok...back to this club...yes...ministry of sound...is an interesting place...very nice decor...excellent acoustics...really enjoyed the thirty minutes we spent there...

guess am just getting old...well...not really old...but may be just in that phase...where I just prefer watching raymond at home...

why the title..??

just in case...you are wondering...why this blog is titled...the way it is...the movie shawshank redemption is one of my all time favourites...and 'get busy livin or get busy dyin' is what tim robbins tells morgan freeman...after he talks to him about his wife and how he was indirectly responsible for her death...

just watch the movie...I know I will (yet again)...over this weekend...honestly lost count on the number of times I have seen it...

everything and a kite

well...ever since I discovered that ray romano had written a book and whose title was 'everything and a kite'...I havent been able to think of much else other than getting my hands on the book...for those of you...who do not know ray...you may want to check out www.rayromano.com

anyway...as luck would have it...this book is not available in any of leading book stores here in singapore...however...after 'googling' for it...I found a person on the website www.bookcrossing.com who had purchased this book from a used book shop here...ofcourse I wrote to her immediately and she has very generously offered to lend it to me....there are nice people around after all....
