What a Saturday...

Woke up early in the morning to accompany my mum to see a doctor. She've been complaining about some "ringing" sound in her ear and was lamenting nobody cares about her...but I was quite pissed off by her...here was our conversation on friday night...

Me: Go to the clinic downstairs and see the doctor tomorrow...
Mum: No lah, downstairs clinic so expensive..later charge me 40 plus 50 bucks...
Me: .......
My mum likes to go back to the doctor in clementi (where we used to live) cos its cheap...
Me: Ok then lets go to the doctor in clementi...
Mum: erm....dun want...
Me: Why?
Mum: Becos the taxi fare from here to clementi and back cost 20 bucks! (My mum cant really walk that well, so we have to take a cab)
Me: .............
Me: Ok fine! I will pay for everything...cab fare, doctor fees...ok?
Mum: Ok...

Sometimes talking to my mum makes my blood boils....

Anyway thats how I spent my saturday morning..After that I went to get my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows..Yesterday was Harry Potter's Day, every major bookstore I went to, 8 out of 10 people queuing up are paying for a copy of Harry Potter...and there are stacks and stacks of it ...which makes me wonder...why preorder? There is no special discount or free gifts for preordering, so why pre order when you can get one on the day of release as everyone else? Anyway it costs me 48 bucks and it completes my collection. I am going to start reading it later, trying very hard not to flip to the last page for a sneak peek of the ending.

After that, went to watch Disturbia with Vincent...my classmate in NUS...It was a sleeper hit in the US and now I know why. Its a horror film with a story. Not those typical no brainer, blood and gore slasher pics...in fact, the slashing is quite minimal. Its a light hearted romantic comedy disguised as a horror film. It keeps you at the edge of your seat towards the end without having to show much blood ..unlike Saw and Hostel. The ending was quite cool too, not those typical..."I will be back" endings for typical horror films these days..

After the movie, I got a preview of the fireworks for NDP and it was great. Got myself a nice spot at Marina Square foodcourt. Not too crowded, and nicely elevated to view the fireworks display. Fireworks never fail to amaze me even though I have seen it like more than 10 over times...Maybe I will pop by again on National day to watch it again...

I thought my day will end after that but it didnt...my frens jio me go karaoke...and karaoke was just too hard to resist...end up singing from 1030 to 230am..haha..sing until I buay tahan....but it was fun...:)
