Flood

Heard of the thomson flood weeks ago but never really saw it with my own eyes. Today while on the mrt...I saw this scene at commonwealth MRT station....the poor car trying to get through the pool of muddy water...

KL trip

Went on a business trip to KL on wednesday...quite silly actually. Spent 6 hrs on a car ride to KL , met client for half an hour then waited for 3hrs for my flight back. I get to do some shopping at KLCC...the third time I been there for the past year but this time I finally got the chance to take the LRT at KLCC!

I was quite surprised to see people queueing up to get onto the LRT....this is so unlike Singapore where everyone just rush in when the train door opens.

I took this picture on the KLIA express...the non-stop train ride from KL Sentral to KLIA. It cost RM 35.00 for this 25 mins ride...quite expensive in my opinion haha lucky I get to claim.

World's best airport? HAHAHA....the aircon is not even cool enough...I was sweating while I was walking around waiting for my flight.

2007........Year of the blockbusters

My fren always say "Why you like to post clips from Youtube...People can always go there to watch themselves"...but I LIKE! haha...its kinda a place for me to "collect" all the trailers of the movies I like...so that if I want to watch them I can just watch them on my blog...Anyway...2007 is really the year of the blockbusters...


First up...Shrek the Third.. the second one was hilarious with the addition of Puss in Boots..This one looks even better judging from the trailer....



Transformers! My favorite cartoon when I was young is finally coming to the big screen and its live action! Hope this one doesnt disappoint...I seriously not interested to watch another "power ranger " movie


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...After 3 horrifying live action movies...they finally realised that humans in a turtle suit looks absolutely ridiculous...and now its in CG! The trailer looks promising, lets hope the movie delivers.


Live Free of Die Hard... 10 years after the last Die Hard movie..who would have thought that Bruce Willis can still fight at this age...Well, Sylvester Stallone came back as Rocky Balboa and Harrison Ford is doing Indiana Jones 4 at the age of 60...so I guess Bruce Willis still can make it....and judging from this trailer..he still rocks!

Fantastic Four was not really fantastic...but the sequel is coming this year and it looks slightly better..Silver surfer looks more cool than the previous bad guy..


Harry Potter is back again! Its like a must for me to watch the Harry Potter movies although they never really live up to expectations. This one has the uphill task of adapting the thickest and also the most boring book in the series so I dont think it will be that nice...we shall see...

The last but not least will be Pirates of the Caribbean 3 but no trailer have been released yet...Good things always come last

Boobs galore!

Went to watch "Curse of the golden flower" yesterday...Didnt have much expectation as I have watched "Hero" and "House of Flying daggers" and was totally bored to tears. To my surprise, this one was quite easy to follow...not becos of the boobs...haha. But there were really so many scenes with bouncing boobs that its abit difficult to concentrate on the story. Gong li acting was really good and in my opinion way better than Zhang ziyi who is so over rated. Jay chou was just....funny. His acting was okay, not that there were alot of scenes for him to act in the first place. But the funny thing was, everytime he comes on screen or makes an expression, the entire theatre will laugh! I guess everyone just went to see how bad Jay's acting was...which is quite a sad thing considering he is not a professional actor. Acting beside Gong li and Chow Yun Fatt just makes him look like a golden prop. The story was quite similar with a show I watched recently...."The banquet"...too similar in fact...incest, betrayal, plotting against the king...and alot of ballet-like fighting sequences...I feel that asian directors are trying to hard to impress the people in Hollywood..and all these ancient epics with elaborate sets and fanciful fight scenes just get a little too artificial..Face it Zhang Yimou, there can only be one Ang Lee..

Lonely Christmas...

Wat a boring christmas.. got no one to go out with..:( Sigh, spent the past two days watching dvds and sleeping. Tomorrow is working day again...Cant believe I spent my christmas holidays like that...sian

My mum...

Took my mum to the clinic a few months back...and the doctor asked her to get a blood pressure monitoring device..she refuse to buy cos its 90 bucks...then she say i got bonus ask me buy for her...So yesterday I got one for her and this is what i got this morning...

Mum: Wah! 146 so high....I am dying liao....I dont believe... (Put it on and try again)
Mum: This thing is so stupid...why must put on the left hand...cannot put on the right hand...
Mum: Wah! now 136....this thing is not accurate one! (Try again)
Mum: 134! ok...much better...still quite high...

A week in review....looking forward to 2007

Wow..the last time I blogged was 10th December...hmmm. Think I lost the motivation to write...or maybe my life is just too boring.

Tuesday...

Watched Eragon with Eileen..Haha hey Bubbles, thanks for inviting me and remember to remind me to return you the money hor! In case I forget...Eragon was quite a bad movie....IMHO...Its definitely not Lord of the Rings material ..not even Harry Potter...maybe my expectation was too high. ..But I really thought it could be better. The movie was too rushed and the dialogue sucked so bad I thought I was watching a video game. The final battle felt like the director ran out of budget and just wanted to finish the film as quickly as possible...and he did! The movie was just 1 and half hour! The ending opened up the opportunity for a sequel which makes me wonder....after this sh*t would anyone want to watch the sequel?

Wednesday...

Met my fren Julius to buy his homemade truffles for my other fren...He is selling his own brand of chocolate truffles at the age of 21! Really impressive and his chocolates are not bad...I have tasted and my fren also says its nice! Haha...abit of a promotion here but do give his chocolates a try if you are craving for chocolates or just running out of gift ideas.

His website is : http://juliustruffles.blogspot.com/ Feel free to take a look!

Thursday....

Its been so long since I last met my secondary school frens...and on thursday I met two of them...Aaron and Adrian. Had our dinner at Ding Tai Feng. It was a nice gathering and we had quite a lot to talk about even though its been like 4 yrs since I last met Aaron. But have to say Ding Tai Feng sucks. Hahaha....I mean Crystal Jade noodles are okay but at least its xiao long bao is really good...but at DTF...nothing was nice...the noodles was so bland and the xiao long bao was...just xiao. I really wonder why people queue up for such mediocre food ..That was going to be my first and my last time there.

Friday....

Had half a working day in the morning and then had christmas lunch and then games and karaoke at Orchid Country Club...As usual, catered lunch at my company is nthing great...but not too bad this time...I mean I had worse...imagine...tzi char... roast duck...laksa in lunch boxes for company lunch..at least this time it was buffet style. I was really abit sian when I heard we had to play games...I mean com' on...we are so old oreadi still play those 'orientation games'? But it turned out quite fun..bursting balloons...musical chairs...lol ...though childish but it was the first time me and my colleagues really let our hair down and just have some fun. Not too bad at all...

Today....

Went for my medical checkup for my insurance policy early in the morning..woke up at 630 just to be there at 8am! @#$%@ And my insurance agent didnt even accompany me! haha I heard from the nurse that usually the agent will be "nice" and accompany their client for the checkup. Luckily...my fren keith was kind enough to accompany me and the waiting was not that boring with someone to talk to...after that I walked from orchard to plaza sing to bugis to settle quite a number of things...Open new bank account...did a standing order for mthly funds transfer...paid my credit card bills...and then to complain about my pacific internet bill...really f**king pissed with them. Called in June to cancel my email spam guard which cost me 4 bucks a month...and I totally not using it...then the bill in july still reflect it..called and emailed them again...they told me maybe they still processing so next month shd be cancelled...then again..reflected in my August bill....by then I really cant be bothered liao...then last mth I decided to terminate my subscription and I told the lady about it and she told me "Oh, I will write down for you and next month they will refund you the amount you paid since June" ....then later I received a bill again asking me to pay 4 bucks again for the month of december! F**king lousy service man! Pacific Internet ...Pui! Not that I bother about the 4 bucks a month..but its just pisses me off that after all that trouble and nothing is done!

Tomorrow....

Tomorrow is christmas eve...as usual I have nothing to do again..bought some dvds so probably I will just stay at home and watch them...At least I get to rest on Monday...after working so hard for the past month I seriously need a rest and hopefully get a big fat bonus next month! haha..Hi boss are u reading my blog?

7 more days to 2007....Japanese language course 2 starting in February...then Hongkong trip in April....My NACE course in June (If I still around in my company) ...and New York Trip follows... cant wait...

So tired...

Havent update for quite some time...been so busy for the past week..My manager was on leave the whole week, things kept coming in, then have to go for some exhibition at Suntec..the week passed by in a flash! And all my work are still undone! OMG..tomorrow is the start of a new week and I hope i am able to clear all my stuff out soon. My bosses are all on holiday till january..if only i can too..sigh...three more weeks to 2007 and then I shall take my long awaited break...muahahaha.

Creative advertising

I think we really need some creative commercials in Singapore. Most of our local ones are just crap. Like the latest tv mobile one...wonder which advertising company came up with that..I like this one...very funny.


These two are not bad too.....

Vivocity

Finally, after much procrastination, I went to Vivocity yesterday. My friend always ask me why I want to go vivocity so much....I guess I wanted to see how different it is from other shopping centre in Singapore..I want to see the rooftop which I think is quite special. But I didnt go there just to walk around...I went to sign up for my Starhub maxonline plan. It was such a terrible idea. I waited from 2pm till 5pm just to get my number called!! Wasted my whole saturday...took time to walk around vivocity which turned out to be quite a disappointment. There were too many people and its so difficult to walk around without bumping into others. The walkway is too narrow and the design is quite dumb. You have to walk one big round to get from one place to another on the second floor. To me, the main attraction is the rooftop. The view is quite beautiful especially now that the haze is gone.

There is a mini swimming pool although I seriously doubt it was meant to be a swimming pool.

You feel like you are walking on a boat deck up there...enjoying the seabreeze..its quite a nice place to relax. Maybe I will come again in a few months when its not so crowded.

Spidey's BACK!

Next summer is going to be so cool! So many great movies coming out ...Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Shrek the Third and of course Spider-man 3!!!

HAPPY FEET!

This year end slate of movies are so boring...Casino royale? Yawn... what else? Oh my I cant even think of one movie I want to watch ...except ...this! HAPPY FEET! I think its so cool! The penguins are so adorable as always!

Show me the money!!!

All of a sudden, like I am awoken from a deep sleep..I realised I have not made any plans for my future! No insurance, no savings..nothing! So I met up with my financial planner on saturday to discuss about my insurance policy and investment plan...We had lunch at this place at Paradiz called Tao's...Its a seven course lunch for 20 bucks..which I think its quite worth it...although this time its free..haha..courtesy of my financial planner! lol. Anyway the food is not bad, with soup, dessert...specially brewed tea. I think the yam ice cream is very nice!! Too bad I forgot to take a picture!


After that, I went to apply for 3 credit cards! haha..I used to think credit cards are not necessary..I mean I have my atm card, thats all I need! But my frens made me realise what I am missing out...the privileges, the rebates, the discounts blah blah..so after thinking for a while..I thought why not? Just hope that I wont overspend..haha.

Pissed

I am so pissed with my parents sometimes I wished they were dead...I mean, I really feel I could do without them and live my life happier. Not that I am a beast or what but they are really $!#!%!^. My fren always say I complain so much but in the end I also never do anything..so what exactly can I do? Kill them? Poison them? Leave them? I will leave them, but I need to be able to afford my own place first...I am just so sick and tired of bearing the burden of the family...like I am the only son. My elder brother is nvr back, my younger brother is always too young..for godsake he is oreadi 21! So I have to do everything...if I dont, I get nasty remarks from them. What is their fucking problem? I mean, everyday I come back from work and I still have to endure your constant quarrels..if you guys hate each other so much just hack each other to death and I will pick up the pieces! I hate my family..I never talk to my elder bro and my younger bro doesnt talk to me. Whats wrong with everyone? We are like strangers living under one roof. When will I ever get to leave them? Whose mother will demand money from her son immediately after he start work and then complain that its not enough! Whose mother will ask her son to go learn driving and get a car so that he can fetch her around? Whose mother will fuck u for not bringing her to the doctor because you have to work that day? I mean am I the only son? I told her my younger bro can bring her...and she said "He is still so young, he will know what to do meh? " Then all the nasty remarks about me being unfilial...wtf?! Whose mother will demand present for mother's day and her birthday and will kick up a big fuss if you dont get her anything? When will you just die? Please let the day come fast.

Korean...

I am starting to like everything korean...haha..Think it started with Full house, then My lovely Sam soon and now Goong...Well, years ago, I watched a very impressive korean film called "Brotherhood"..Now I am listening to korean songs everyday! Maybe I should learn korean after my jap class..."Kajah, Kajah, FIGHTING!"
