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!"

Cats....

Yesterday, I was feeling so tired when I was coming back home from my japanese class...but my mood was so much better when I saw this when I entered the lift...

This cute cat was inside the lift, apparently enjoying the ride....I dont know how long it was in there or how long it stayed after I left but it was so funny...haha. I love cats..I dont know why..I MISSED my cats at tengah so much...are you all still alive?

What a night...

Went to ExxonMobil D&D last night ....at Ritz Carlton...Though I am not an employee of Exxon, I got to go thanks to Grace and Lifen...and I must say I really enjoyed myself! The theme was "Retro" and it was quite funny to see pple dressing up at austin powers and elvis presley...u know who u r...haha. Nice meeting some of my old chem eng frens...didnt noe that exxon actually absorbed such a huge proportion of my cohort!


The function was really good ...sigh..if only my company is like that....Just look at the door gift!! Its so cool! A super retro radio..I loved it. The host was hilarious as well, makes the event so enjoyable. After that, the super swa ku me, finally got a chance to go visit one of the rooms in Ritz Carlton...haha..the bathroom is so nice...I must book the room next time...when I am richer.

The dancing at Double O nearly killed me...We danced from 12 to 4! Frens who know me know that I dont chiong and dont drink so yesterday night was really my most happening night to date. My whole body is aching! haha..and I am getting rashes again becos of the alcohol...damnit! I am so tired....Just finished a bowl of maggie mee...going to sleep and hopefully I will be able to wake up and be fresh for my jap class later.....zzzzzzzzzzz
Lifen, Eileen and me trying to act cute...

The three of us again..and Grace..

Are you watching closely?

Watched Prestige today and learn quite abit about magic...haha. This show is not in my "Must watch" list but I lost...Majority wins....:( My frens all said no to my suggestion of watching "The Sinking of Japan" ...hmm I really wonder why ?? But anyhow, its not a bad show after all..lots of twists in the show and I think Christian Bale and Michael Caine are terrific actors...The movie kinda started slow at the beginning and I nearly fell asleep..but when they started on the rivalry between Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, the movie really picked up and got more interesting. Although I got lost abit due to the non-linear storyline, the ending kinda answered all the questions that I have.

Holidays are always so short...the next holiday will be Christmas which is 2 months away...sigh..so its gonna be work work and more work from now on. I am so tired..I think I am losing my voice. 2 kbox sessions in a week and all the jay chou rap ...lol. I really need a rest...

Sinking of Japan ...anyone?

I need a break

After working my ass off for so many months, I finally cleared the pile of work on my desk yesterday. Today is a holiday and wednesday will be a new start! Its 8am and I am not working, but I dont know why I got up at 730...maybe I am so used to getting up early. I am still wondering what I should do today..wanted to go vivocity and watch a movie, but apparently none of my frens want to entertain me....hmmm, should I go alone?

Dancing Diva....HOT!

Went kbox yesterday and saw these two super hot MVs of Jolin Tsai! She is really the dancing diva man....

Sinking of Japan!!!

Saw the trailer for the upcoming movie "Sinking of Japan" ...thought its really cool with very good effects.

Buttercup.....

Met up with my ExxonMobil engineers and fellow IA frens today...Really nice to catch up with them cos I think the last time we met up was nearly a year ago. We went kbox but didnt really sing much... end up talking and gossipping the whole time....hahaha. Brought back lots of memories of my IA 2 years ago at exxon. The best time I had during my four years in NUS is not in NUS but when I was in exxon. I nearly didnt make it into exxon...haha. I still remember I was quite disappointed when I looked at the list of selected IA students and I was not on the list. But in the end I got a call telling me that I was on the standby list and I get to start earlier at the refinery in Jurong Island. Its been 2 yrs and I am glad we are still meeting up. I might even be gate-crashing their DND next week! lol.

Sushi King my ass

Sushi King in Malaysia is the most un-japanese japanese restaurant! No wonder there are no Sushi King outlets in Singapore. I mean I thought Sakae is bad enough but this one is really the ultimate. Just happen to have my lunch there after my short trip to my malaysia plant on tuesday. Firstly, this is a jap restaurant that doesnt serve green tea! I ordered tori teriyaki soba, and while waiting for my food to come, I decided to observe the sushi chef. I saw him blatantly putting rice into a "sushi maker" machine and out pops the rice cubes. Then he went to the fridge and took out a styrofoam tray. From there he took out the sliced fish and put in on the rice....yeah thats Sushi King's sushi. No skill involved at all! Then my soba came and the serving size was pathetic. Like kids serving. Absolutely disgusted.

Then today I was at malaysia again and me and my manager went to a bah kut teh stall. The place was infested with flies. That I can live with but just as I was ordering..I saw a freaking huge black lizard zoom across the wall and go behind the pile of bowls which they use to serve the rice....omg. My appetite was totally gone from that very moment.
