KBOX @ CINE :)
Posted on: Friday, February 27, 2009 Posted at: 2/27/2009 08:31:00 PM
met elaine n her frens @ cine for kbox. Quite enjoyable la... sing realllllyyyyyyy long for a gd price (compared to wkend / night time rates). Generally, abit hard to sing la, apart from my usual voice projection prob, there is still my "ulcer on the throat" and multiple ulcers in my mouth (no thx to wat happened on monday *pls scroll down to see*). Well, the people all can sing quite okay bah, like seasoned kbox campaigners.
Now throat abit chui alr :( nid to rest tml b4 the newton run on sunday!

watched "he is not that into you" wif karen last nite. overall ah, i have only one opinion, that its a chick flick. good for groups of girls to watch together and rejoice that guys r jerks.
Please do not read further if u r a female / male with female inclinations (read : GAY) - - - - - - - - - - - - - YOU ARE WARNED. - - - - - - - - - - - - - What? Dun read la.. - - - - - - - - - - - - - But in reality, the storyline may not fit in an asian country like singapore, where the mind may not be as open as opposed to many western countries.. For eg, ppl do not engage in domestic partnerships or, sleep around casually without any backlash. and last of all, a girl like the female lead in the show, will never encounter relationship problems here, where many guys fail to find a suitable partner and resort to foreign brides..
In fact, maybe a male version of the show would be more appropriate?
PS: this blog post is just a little rant of a single male, pls don take it too seriously.

Meeting wif Sharon
Posted on: Sunday, February 22, 2009 Posted at: 2/22/2009 11:14:00 PM
Met up wif leslie, hm and edmund @ 1030/1100hrs in CP b4 making our way to SKCC for the bib collection..
had lunch at mac, took the MEGA MAC! wahs, quite filling, even if u dun upsize, in fact, i tink its more worth to haf a med-size mega mac meal than a upsized normal meal.. the difference isnt much.. abt 50cents i tink? but u get more meat, less useless carbs / oils in the the fries and coke.. tried the blackforest mcflurry too! sweet but the chewy / hard chocolate..
After wat seems like a thousand yrs of waiting for sharon to get ready, we finally met at the mrt.. tho, halfway, she went back to get her specs -.-" went on to sls without her to get my techie stuff :)
Caught K-20 at GV Plaza. Pretty good movie by Takeshi.. The plot is abt this expert bandit that steals and always escapes capture.. Takeshi plays a little known acrobat in a small-time circus.. Thru some deliberate plot, he was framed to be the bandit K-20 (sounds like some name of a Dog - K9?) So what will he do now? There is some excellent humor, cute child-stars and handsome actors / actresses.
Met up wif the AB11 guys today.. been so long la, but well, everyone seems to be the same.. aron forever slow and late, and the guys r as crappy as ever.. sort of miss those poly times bah?
had dinner at MOS burger then made our way to orchard hotel area, to search for a sweet spot to watch the villa vs chelsea match.. we finally settled at Harry's Pub near hilton hotel.. the video quality was quite poor tho.. like as if they were streaming it off some china website (in fact, i noe some china websites that stream better quality without any lags).. chelsea held on to the 3 pts due to the brilliance of cech and the impotency of the villa strike force.. drank a glass of margarita lime only.. dun wan to start my whole allergic thing again.. but guess the sign r imminent now.. (feels slight itch.. zzzz)
tml going to collect e bib @ sengkang! woots!
woah.

Alritey, was supposed to go out wif sharon today for movie, but she fell ill la.. so postpone lor.. :( well, didnt wan my "leave" to go to waste, so i went to POSB to do my atm card. my first reaction when i stepped into the branch office @ hougang was "WOAH", and my second was "WTF!". the queue was until the door there la.. tho the branch aint tat big, but wif all the winding in queue, you wud definitely expect less rite? but NO! so long la.. i thot, "hey nvm la, cfm vry fast one la, they shud be quite efficient" but boy, i was wrong T_T queued for 1hr 15min or so, before it was finally my turn! AHHH!!! armed wif only my mp3 and my phone, i stood in the queue.. tho there was this period of time tat i actually dazed into a daydream state till some kid running around had startled me, for me to realise, there is this huge gap in between me and the old lady infront.. lol.. guess i had enuff daydream practice in SAF liao :) ok la, managed to upgrade to the "GO!" card wif masters for my trip.. abit sad to part wif my old posb atm card la.. it was this grey one that they issued back when i first opened the account in secondary school.. then she had to cut the card up in front of me O.o (ok la procedures to destroy the card when its been retired).. hais. well, also updated my signature to my latest... (cant believe my old signature was soooo long and draggy.. guessed, i got lazier over the years..) hahaha!
then i walked arnd abit more and saw this "everything-oso-sell" kind of shop, u know, the kind that has this irritating repeating track that shouts out all their "lelongs" and "offers".. saw a travel power adapter! a little bit "lok kok" compared to wat leslie bought for himself but wayyy cheaper.. now, time to pack all e stuff into the bags :S
Slumdog millionaire!
Posted on: Sunday, February 15, 2009 Posted at: 2/15/2009 08:35:00 PM
alrite, went out wif ah wan today @ yishun area. watched "Slumdog Millionaire" at Yishun GV. Went to the lib first cos we still had sometime b4 the screening.. the lib alot of ppl and nt enuff seats lor, nid to seat on the ground.. but the environment is quite gd, new library i guess? really a good conducive environment to spark interest in learning / reading unlike libraries of my time (old, dull places which had this solemn librarian staring at misbehaving kids).. oh well, i will try not to ponder too much over this, can "almost" feel the age gap alr... AHHHHHHHH!!!!!! well, the wireless access was cool, with great reception even tho i was kinda walking arnd. stable enuff to maintain msn and facebook! woohoo!
anyway, we proceeded to the theaters once the movie was abt to start. but, not to be racist or wat, the theater was dammmmnnnnnnnnnnnn crowded with indians.. i almost thot i had gone into the wrong cinema (cos GV yishun shows tamil movies, probably the only one to do so).. And the OST for the movie played b4 the show (filmed in india?) didnt help.. well.. it was ALMOST like watching an indian movie, relegated to reading subtitles wif "slanged" english pronunciation as well as the frequent tamil dialogue.. but that aside, its a GREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT movie! inspiring tale with its funny parts as well as a romantic love story abt the underdog from the slums. a true rag-to-riches tale based on the once-popular who wants to a millionaire franchise.. The events are beautifully linked to how he could answer the questions posed, yet able to tell the tale of his life.. something which only can happen in fiction i guess? reall cool show! do catch it be4 it ends (still haf some time at the point of writing cos it jus opened this wk..)

Alright, had lunch at kunshin bo wif the guys flying up wif me in mar as part of a "cohesion" event planned by the commander. pity was that alot of the commanders didnt arrive.. not that they missed anything tho, the variety at kunshinbo was quite limited and the food quality wasnt the best..
but nevertheless, a good meal bah..
stuff we took
DESSERTS! YUMMY!
Watched the Curious Case of Benjamin Button at eng wah suntec afterthat. pretty long movie, arnd 2hr 30min.. the movie showed the whole life of benjamin.. from the bg story of this big clock that runs backwards.. (similar to benjamin) to how he got abandoned at birth and his gradual growing up from a feeble "old" child to a young man and finally till his "death" as a baby (the clock was oso taken down and replaced..)
The storyline is filled with his adventures and emotional journeys. don't want to spoil it too much for those who wanna watch it, so i wun divulge any more spoilers :) but its quite a good movie to watch.. answers all the "what if i didnt grow old" qns and satisfies the kid that resides in all of us. :)

hmm.. went for dental ffi today.. no pics as per norm of my army life, cos of the cam ban.. :S well, i was super kiasu and went damn early (abt 25min b4 the scheduled timing).. and guess what, i was first in queue :) not much waiting time.. the doc did some cleaning and filled one of my tooth.. my teeth are damn sensitive now as a result of that... i tink cos he drilled one of my tooth to make the "hole" bigger so that it is easier to fill.. some more, the doc was frustrated cos the small drill couldnt break my tooth, then changed to a bigger drill bit.. i was like @_@ cos.. it looked real dangerous..
luckily he switched back aft a few drills (presumably did its job to break the stubborn thing).. but the feeling was abit funny tho.. not painful, more of ticklish but weirdish, cos can feel something was coming off... the cavity was quickly filled tho.. before i was told to rinse.. with minimal blood loss and (almost) perfect teeth *grin*

Something new.. a quiz.. think i did it before tho.. english version..
alrite.. today had my vaccination sia.. super sudden thing.. it was like *ring ring* on the phone and 2hrs later, i find myself staring at the needle at our medical centre.. since when did army become so efficient? lol.. well its gd la.. no nid to wait :) the jab wasnt painful in any accounts but, the vaccination is having some strange effect on me bah.. feeling abit itchy here and there.. i guess perhaps due to my "hypersensitive" skin or something.. :S oh well...... hope tml dun fall sick..
heres to the "brave" leslie who endured another 2 jabs (1 more to go next wk!) due in part to the silly mistake of the then bmt medic (who forgot to update his vaccination) and leslie's "willingness" to take part in this operation :)
cheers!

alrite.. apart from the "not-so-minor" incident.. ytd was actually quite a good day for me.. went to visit bren at his hse :) travelled by bicycle.. the "to" trip was super tough man.. lots of up slopes and down slopes. challenging.. something i will try again when i polish up my biking skills or when i can find a better bike to aid me :) Chit chatted abit at his hse b4 heading down to a nearby (actually quite more like a stone-launching machine's throw awy <-- quite far) badminton court at amk/yck area. as wif most outdoor courts, we faced the problem of wind influence.. but it was still a fun game, tho we were hardly amateurish standards, lest say competitive.. bren was even joking that we cud train our shuttle run frm the pick of the shuttlecock (dig at the incessant need to pick it up due to missed shots). T_T
Had 'Lunch' (at 3?!) @ some temp market in a nearby estate. lemon chicken rice :) 2dollars only, which is pretty cheap for the current economy in which some not-so-filling snack from, say old chang kee, would probably cost the same price anyway...
Walked back, chatted somemore, over slurpee.. kinda brings back memories of before eh? (and i wonder why i was so chubby back then..) the trip back was smoother cos i took a much travelled route (most cars and buses pass by this area), hence less unnecessary climbing was done :) though, roadworks at some parts stilled tested my biking skills.. :)

Meeting with Sherms!
Posted on: Posted at: 2/03/2009 08:20:00 PM
Met up wif sherms and my mp 08/09 pals on sunday @ cine. We met up earlier to shop for sherm's pressie.. (b4 meeting him of cos!) Met up wif sherms and we had lunch at BBQ Chicken @ cine B1.
I ordered a charboiled chicken sandwich..
Looks good eh? the price is okay la.. for a set meal(drinks and soup).. arnd 15 wif gst..
Alrite, a groupie!
Think I was caught abit off-guarded, oni managed a small smile.. (if it counts as one..) but wow, look at qf and sherm's hair!!! so long... hahaz... dun tink i will leave my hair that long aft my ord ba? nt convenient if i wanna run / swim or wat..
Aft the lunch, we watched the movie "bride wars" @ the cineleisure theatres.. quite a pleasant show.. with anne hathaway! about two childhood friends who dreamed of a Plaza June Wedding since young and how twisted fate caused them to pit against each other for the right to hold a grander wedding on the same date. We get to see nt only how their friendship sours, but oso how a relationship can turn bad as people change.. cool movie to catch wif ur chick (chick flick alert!) but for us, 6 guys, abit gay-ish..
they all zao-ed aft the movie -.-" (and i tot there were plans to sit arnd at a cafe for tea or something) lucky, eileen was free and nice enuff to drop by from her workplace for dinner @ orchard. :)
Stayed in yesterday night :) not bad an experience, good to stay in if u need that extra 1-2hrs of shut-eye but otherwise, utterly boring without my gadgets :(
