today was quite slow after all the feista of ytd. Managed to catch two movies on ryan's lappy. One was kungfu panda and another was the critically acclaimed the wrestler. Kungfu panda was a hilarious cartoon about main character, panda po who was a kungfu fan who couldnt fight for nuts. But he was somehow chosen to be the legendary dragon warrior to fight evil through wat seemed like a fluke. The process was funny and a process of selfdiscovery and will over destiny. Good movie, lucky i didnt miss it. :) the wrestler was a more solemn movie, about the life of an over the hill, how he was condemned to wrestling and living the big time even aft he had a heart bypass.. Showed the fragility of the fame and sleazy life they led. Also revealed the fakeness of wrestling. A good movie in another way, something to touch the heart and move crowds. :)

ah! Woke up bright and early today to set off to hannover! Took cpt david's ride out to bergen. Then we caught the bus to celle train station. It was one hectic journey, for its our first unsupervised excursion in germany, jus us four young adults. Lol. After an initial fumble over ticket for e train, we managed to get on and reach hannover! Woots! 9am and boy, it was COLD! Haha. But the reality really hit, we are in germany! :) we went down the hannover red line which basically covered all the tourist spots la, saw a couple of churches, the town hall, the hannover 96 stadium, and took alot and i mean ALOT OF PICTURES OF EVERYTHING. Lol. As they say pictures speak louder than words, so i shant lor sor too much here. But a worthy note was that leslie picked up girls and we sort of did a good deed in germany. Tired, and i think leslie is waiting for me to finish to off the lights. Lol! Cheers!

Met bren at Tamp Mall today.. str8 aft his duty, was kinda tough on him la.. can see his puffy eyes and dark circles coming out.. hais.. ate at mac for lunch and went on to watch Suspect X at GV Tamp.
Quite a gd movie, the plot is tat of a detective story, tho the much-hyped battle of minds between the Science and Math geniuses was a hoax.. the "battle" didnt really occur but the intriguing storyline, great accompanying OST and gd looking acting cast kept my eyes and mind glued to the show.. not bad la, tho cud be better :) bren dozed off during the movie a couple of times la, feel so bad :( but quite glad that cud meet up wif him again b4 i fly.. so gonna miss my buddies lor!
And for elaine who is alr overseas for her attachment, jia yous :)

Meeting with Han Teng & Leonard :)

Met up wif leonard and han teng today tgt wif leslie @ cityhall.. Leslie was late, AS USUAL.......................... (lol!) Well, been so long liao since i saw the two.. other than the times they came over to gedong for SAF related tasks, the last outing was... May last yr sia! Anyway, we walked over to Marina Square and we saw this media fiesta thing going on.. and, guess who we saw?! MICHELLE CHIA!! quite chio in real person oso.. and there were also the other michelle (zhuang mi xue) and fiona xie backstage, waiting for an interview i guess...
We then went on to find Sakae Sushi... Leslie led us a big round arnd MS (crossing the media fiesta a couple of times, leading to us tinking if he was trying to sneak peaks at fiona xie or the 2 michelles).. When we finally arrived at Sakae, we ordered our respective stuff la.. and took lots of pics of each other on our cameras.. lame.. considering that we didnt take any grp pics.. lols.
Watched "Watchmen" at GV. pretty lame show.. sort of an anti-hero movie, compared to all those marvel stories.. As we all noe, the era of "comic heroes" was that of many wars, and the comic superheroes were actually manifested as a relief to the situation in the forms of captain america, superman and many others. this main story is a counter to those theories, showing hw "caped" heroes cud fail so badly.. vry negative and "Graphic" scenes.. Though a more realistic feel to the whole superhero genre, it is not "viewer friendly" and it certainly deserves the m18 for the culture shock that it delivers. Decent movie with a draggy storyline (2hr 30min)..
We sort of split aft e show.. went on to the Guan Yin Temple at Waterloo to pray (in lieu of the trip), nice of ht to accompany me.. took a long bus ride back from bugis aft that.. Met Ric at KFC Hougang Mall for dinner and some chit-chat abt old times, his gf and our ns life..

SPizza

Ahh... yet another rainy day.. countdown to germany! 6days! hais... i guess sending off the dudes had an effect on me bah.. sort of getting into the mood alr.. feeling emo-ed but then some comments on my fb, make me feel abit ZZzz... But how to not feel emo when u noe u r leaving this place.. its like a leaving comfort zone de feeling, esp wif all the ppl having the "last meetups"..
Speaking of meetups, met sharon for dinner today.. Cos we chatted abt this funky pizza outlet in SK that she went to wif her family.. But wow, it was actually this famous Jalan Kayu Street!! and the pizza is SPizza! Didnt noe that Jalan Kayu was actually so accessible via the SK LRT line tho! The LRT was abit nostalgic too, think i passed by it while on the Newton Active Run Route.. Well, this is some whole new area for me.. and the area seems realli hip, bustling wif eateries (Prata houses, Western Food etc)..
The Ursula pizza - Some leaves thingy wif smoked salmon.. nt too bad.. but nt cheesy enuff for me :(
Somehow, I feel that this might not be the last I see of Jalan Kayu :) Tml meeting han teng n leonard :)
KTV @ Partyworld Orchard

Met up wif the guys @ Cineleisure today. Arrived early (which i shudnt haf..) @ 1245 ahead of the 1300hrs stipulated by Mr Leslie. But Mr Leslie was LATE.. for abt 30min.. So i kinda went shopping at centrepoint and the shops arnd first.. ZR came on time at least..:) Well the worst was that qf overslept! only after our persistent calling and wake-up sms did he finally wake up to join us aft our lunch @ subway.. Ate the Turkey Trio, 6inch.. Gone were the days that I could finish a Foot-long.. Losing appetite cos of something on my mind as well.. At least the meal didnt haf that great an impact on my wallet :) only set me back abt 7bucks..
Carried on to Partyworld Orchard.. Brings back memories of that
Oct Gathering.. Miss QX, Jon n e rest.. Too bad MK cudnt make it today cos of camp commitments.. Sang quite a bit of songs.. Realised tat perhaps I shud train my higher pitch voice abit more... sounds better than crooning wif the "puberty-broken" throat voice.. wells.. lets see how.. I have a feeling the next K session will be
lightyears.. wait its a calculation of distance not time.. a vry vry long time awy... Had loads of fun :)
Next was dinner at Ashton's Grill @ The Cathay. The queue was uber long and the wait for the food equally frustrating but i tell u.. the food is definitely worth every cent u paid for (not that it was alot of money).. Perhaps if time is really money then this meal would certainly be vry expensive.. but a decent western meal at this restaurant would only set u back 7bucks (or more, depending on your order). However, do note that they charge for plain water, little price to pay given that a meal here is quite value for money. We tried to take a grp photo at the lobby of The Cathay, but was shooed awy by the
lazy vigilant security guard...
QF, leslie and I then went on to swensens for dessert, yumz! Earthquake at swensens! Pics of the outing is available at
facebook.
Off to Changi airport with leslie aft that to send off the 2nd Grp leaving for Germany.. So fast.. the reality has set in.. Next will be us..... last 7 days in singapore before we leave..
On a side note: I feel that the new
and improved SBS single deck buses are not as good / comfortable as the old ones.. not just becos of a sentimental attachment (took alot of the old ones during my poly days), but also becos that they allow more ppl to sit and can efficiently carry more people (even though the walking space was narrower). The main probs that I faced as a commuter of this new vehicle are as follows:
1) The queue tend to bottleneck at the "stairs" area as many are unwilling to move up to the elevated step to allow more ppl to board.
2) lack of seats as more standing space is allocated. And the associated lack of "hand grips" for the more vertically challenged population. (hand grips are now restricted to
the limited pole grips and the "hanging grips" that some may find difficulty reaching for..)
3) aircon distribution problems. aisle seats tend to get too little air con, window seats get too much and the air flow near the aisle is kinda bad (i actually sweated on the bus)
4) lack of TV mobile units = no entertainment
5) Hard seats compared to the comfortable cushion seats of the old.
Just some rants.. dun take the comment to heart, ppl!

Shag! Just got back from the newton active run held in sengkang.. 10km "only" tho.. nv realli train so, performance was kinda bad.. :( 1hr 01min.. anyway pics are available on
facebook.
Quite a good experience.. but as feb ends, time to look at my "progress" over the past few mths:
hmm.. Slow increase ba.. Nov- Dec was the hols period, so i kinda chionged every other day.. but january i realli slacked, no thx to all e festivals as well as in camp commitments.. Tho, i felt remorseful in feb aft all e snacking on CNY goodies (as well as that darn buffet lunch who was actually quite gd).. hope to continue and hit 8Kcal every mth from now on bah, at least till Uni.. then see how it goes from there...
