Jen_chan, (yes, it has to be jen-chan) as she is usually called, is a college student who has always wanted to become a best-selling fiction author. There are a lot of dust-plot bunnies running around her head, this one. She does well in class but tries not to dwell too much on the fact that she could have taken up a course in literature instead. Hahaha. ~:>
Hoi An is like setting foot inside one of those old Chinese movies. The elements are all there. From the low-tiled roofs to the narrow streets, Hoi An is a picture perfect replica of what ancient Vietnam used to be. The small city is located in the South Central Coast of Vietnam. In the 16th and 17th century, it served as one of the major trading centers in Southeast Asia, attracting a lot of Chinese, Japanese, Indian and even Dutch people.
Now, Hoi An is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Despite being a relatively ...

Posted by Jen as Announcements, Entertainment, Entertainment Features
I remember watching "Speed Racer" way back when I was still ten or eleven years old. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's a little background information. Speed Racer was one of the first anime series that ever made it big outside of Japan. The manga (comic book) was created by Tatsuo Yoshida and was later turned into an actual animated series. Basically, the story revolves around Speed Racer and his love for automobile racing.
The characters include his father and creator of the Mach 5, his younger brother Spritle and his pet ...
Heath Ledger is dead.
It's a little hard to believe I know. He was only 28 years old after all and fans have been excitedly waiting for the showing of The Dark Knight where the actor played the role of Joker. Wasn't it just a few years ago that he gave us an excellent performance in the groundbreaking film "Brokeback Mountain?" I remember watching it in the cinema and crying uncontrollably by the end of the scene. Nobody was able to predict this happening.
According to reports, Heath Ledger was found lying in bed with prescription pills. ...

Posted by Jen as Announcements, In the News, News Features
People have long been baffled by the mystery of Mona Lisa's smile and the identity of the model herself. Throughout the years art historians, conspiracy theorists, aspiring conspiracy theorists and writers have all speculated on who this mysterious woman was. Who did the famous Leonardo da Vinci paint?
One of my favorite speculations of all time has to be the one which suggested that the Mona Lisa was actually a self-portrait of the famous painter himself! In my opinion, it is the oddest and most interesting what-if of all. Da Vinci was known to be quite an ...

Jamie Lynn Spears Pregnant!
Dec 19 2007
Posted by Jen as Announcements, Entertainment, Entertainment Features
Another Spears is making the headlines. Only this time, the target is not Britney Spears but her younger sister Jamie Lynn. For those of you who don't know, Jamie Lynn stars in a Nickelodeon show called Zoey 101. I still remember the first time she was introduced to the world of acting. My initial thought was that she looked every inch like her sister! They could have been twins except for the obvious height difference.
However, their personalities seemed to be different as well. While Britney was always attracting negative attention to herself, Jamie Lynn was the ...
