Scott Yang's Playground

My whole family loves The Koala Brothers, which is usually broadcasted on ABC after 8am, just before I depart for work in the morning. The Aussie-animal themed characters are cute, and distinctive. The moral of each episode is usually helping each other out. A nice good feeling kind of show. One character that we like [...]

Vivian and I have actually watched it on the DVD more than a month ago, when I blogged the item on the Babel fish. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (H2G2) is a Disney published sci-fi comedy featuring late Douglas Noel Adams‘ fictional work of the same title. Arthur Dent, an average Brit who craves [...]

Steve Vai plays “Tender Surrender” on Google Video Search. This is fully sick. “Tender Surrender” on the Alien Love Secrets EP was actually one of my favourites, and looking at how it was performed is amazing. Steve Vai is truly a show man. By the way, you can download videos in FLV format on Google [...]

Douglas Adams said in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy about the origin of the “Babel Fish”.

Eeek. I am going to do an out-of-date movie review again, only because Vivian and I cannot afford to go to cinema under our current circumstance. DVD rented this week — Hitch, a romantic comedy starring Will Smith as the “date doctor”, who has been helping desperated men to “sweep off” the feet of the [...]

DVD we watched on Tuesday this week: Constantine, starring Keanu Reeve as a self-serving exocist trying to buy him own way to heaven, and Rachel Weisz as psychic catholic cop targetted by the son of Satan in this heaven-hell power struggle. My reaction after watching it — huh?! Yes, it is that bad. Again this [...]

Watched The Interpreter on Tuesday night on DVD. Directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn, it has quite a twisty plot. An assassination plan that turned out to be fake, but someone who initially cared less turned out wanting to have the president dead.

Went to Randwick Ritz to see the Star Wars Episode III – Revenge of the Sith last night. We watched the 8:30pm one, a week and half after the it has been released, but the cinema was still packed. The movie is nothing but great – I’ll give it a 9.9 out of 10. What’s [...]

What you see in the picture is not a pile of computer parts that just happen to lie on the floor. It is, however, my new television set in our living room. And total TV time for Scott over the last two days: 30 minutes. And that was already quite an achievement. A big step [...]

Well. Another Star Wars related post. Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” with Star Wars characters. Very well done, especially when you compare with the original.

Grocery Store Wars – not long ago in a supermarket not so far away… Cucumber Skywalker, under the apprenticeship of Obi Wan Cannoli, must learn the way of Farm, fight the evil villian Lord Tader, and destroy the Death Watermelon. Very very funny.

7 ways on how to shuffle a deck of cards, with lots of images and demo video. I better learn this one. One reason why I dislike card games is that I usually just make a mess when shuffling.

“What if…” it is something we often pondered. What if this event did not happen? What if the result was the other way around? What if something else has occurred on that day?” Watched The Butterfly Effect (Ashton Kutcher, Amy Smart, directed by Bress and Gruber) on DVD with Vivian on Tuesday (thanks to Grace [...]

Something that has been anticipated so much since the release of Star Wars prequel – we all know that one day this “yappie” yelling 10 year-old kid is going to become that black helmeted villain wielding the dark side of the force. However, we all want to know that what exactly happened, and the famous [...]
