Feminine perspectives
Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 10/02/2012
» In her smoky evocation of lost love, vintage romance and bewitching cello music, Madonna, at the helm of W.E., channelled Wong Kar-wai of the early millennium, doing that visual serenade of beautiful, distressing women who're in the mood for love. Wong sculpted melancholia out of gorgeous haze; Madonna's swirl of luxury and grainy jump-cuts merely drift, and then land somewhat in emptiness. Re-telling the story of "the greatest romance of the century" _ the one between Prince Edward and Wallis Simpson _ the Material Girl also gives us a story of a wife who's in the desperate mood for pregnancy. So much so that the effort crosses over from beautiful and tender to obsessive and self-sabotaging.

» Just a few steps down a sub-soi off Thong Lor 5 stands a brand-new community plaza called No. 88. As a regular visitor to the chic neighbourhood, I could hardly believe that I was really in the middle of the usually brisk route. At noon on a weekday, only a handful of people were milling around.
Red Sun rising
Life, Vanniya Sriangura, Published on 10/02/2012
» Over the past 12 years since the Tawandang German Brewery restaurant brand was first launched, barely a single evening in each of its outlets (the original one on Rama III Road, the second branch on Pradit Manutham Road and the other in Singapore) hasn't been packed. One of the trademark sights people will always see in front of its entrance is an extra-large blackboard full with names of customers who have reserved tables for the night.

In the name of love
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 10/02/2012
» Love is indeed a strange and powerful force. It can make us do crazy things like stare at the phone willing our darling to call for the fifth time of the day. It can make us spend a year's salary impressing our khun noo girlfriend with an LV bag despite an unwavering credit card debt. It can drive us to hide in the bushes behind the object of our affection's house, going through their trash in the hope of finding a lock of their hair to use in a love spell.
Urban picnic
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 10/02/2012
» Dining among nature in the centre of Bangkok isn't the stuff of fairytales anymore. No longer do you have to experience the tragedy of attempting a picnic lunch at Lumpini Park, and being attacked by pigeons, turtles and monitor lizards in the process. Break free from the shackles of a faux-flora-and-fauna joint, where views of the concrete jungle loom like a dark shadow.
