Universal Studio Singapore did not happen

Half of April has passed. Another half more to go.

Initially I was suppose to make my first trip to USS on wednesday, in the end, all of them slept in late, my champion Michelle slept till 1230pm -___-"

So while waiting for Aeroplane queen to come, Jialin, Sakilah and I watched Morning Glory, the god damn movie I've wanted to watch since forever. It was pretty good. Rachel McAdams is like bloody hot.

After the movie, Aeroplane queen finally came and we left for ion to eat. We went Swensens as Agnes was there to give training. After the meal, we roamed around ion and I ended up buying a jacket from Muji.. Sigh .. more money spent ..

We waited for Agnes to finish her training before going for KTV. KTV till 10pm, I went over to pork's place with supper and smokes till 1130pm before heading home. Pretty tiring but fulfiling day.

Come today, had meeting at Thomson Plaza and after which went for Pizza hut dinner with 5 bosses. Did you know that 6 people can eat $160++ worth of pizza hut ?!?!?!

Anyway, my aeroplane queen blogs almost every other day. I think I should try to blog more too. lol.

Till then..

The rebound

Not forgetting to mention Catherine Zeta-Jones is smoking hot ! Everyone should go watch it !

Work life

Finally watched Inception through the weekend with alvin and pork, it was as good as they say. Also watched Love in Disguise on Sunday capping off the week.

3rd week at work now, its been pretty okay. Lots of fun, scandals and "hugs" around the work place.

Sometimes, I ask myself if I'm getting tired of everything and just want time to stop so that I can catch a breather. I realised that life is as it is and it'll take time to get use to the kind of life I'm leading now. Maybe all I needed was a break. To what extent then ?
The good news is, the fun loving bunch at work reminds me of my time when I was their age, not that its really much of a difference but still ..

I'm still hoping for the pot of gold to be at the end of the rainbow. And perhaps a new direction for me to move forward.

Au Revoir Taipei

Finally had time to meet pork and black for a movie. While I was driving towards Cineleisure, we were deciding on The last Airbender or Inception. But as fate would have it, I made an impromptu decision to watch Au Revoir Taipei. And it was an awesome choice.

The movie was awesome !

Au Revoir Taipei to me is Taiwan's answer to Ethan Hawke's Before Sunrise, where everything happened in a night. Of course the difference being that they met in the book store a couple of times before and more comedy is thrown in making it an awesome movie.

Romantic comedy is a tricky genre to make a film about and I'm pretty demanding as I do enjoy romantic comedies. But the filmmaker Arvin Chen 陳駿霖 has combined humor and light-hearted characters with good character developement to produce this charming piece of work that'll put a smile on your face as you walk out of the theater.

Side track a little .. For the first time, Pork, black and I eached liked a different girl from the movie. That's pretty awesome. I liked the cute Amber Kuo 郭采潔, pork liked the police's frustrated wife Peggy Tseng 曾佩瑜 while the black liked the convenience store girl, Vera Yen.

Just resist the urge to take up lindy hop after watching this movie :D

I found this picture super sweet and thought I might share it.

Till then ..

Weekend awesomeness

What an awesome week it has been. I did go for basketball at my place, but it seems Friday's the day when no one is interested in playing basketball. Went home after 90 minutes of shooting around. I was prepared to stay at home when pork rang to ask me out for some pool. We did, and perhaps due to the world cup opener, we had a table almost immediately. Pool went fine and it was back home after.

Come saturday, slept till 11am coz it was freaking hot. Picked pork up at 3+pm and drove him down to Ubi to collect his shirts. In the end, we stayed there for 2 and a half hours coz his shirts wern't ready. Of the 2 and a half hours, 1 hour was spent waiting at a nearby coffeeshop and the other 1 and a half hours I was freaking alone in the car and was close to killing myself. Asshole tailor. Anyway, picked Siqin up a little late and we reached Plaza Sing at around 6pm for dinner.

We started our L4D session and we played all 5 maps in versus mode. That took about 5 hours of lan gaming and many breaks in between.

Something funny happened to Alvin though, Some malay dudes came in and thought Alvin was their friend and told him "Eh Ah bang, join this game leh". WAHAHAHAHA ! proves our point that Alvin's pretty much an escapee from the malay community.

Siqin, Alvin, pork and I had supper at Xin Wang Koven, while kangwei and tiongyuan went home. This is when the madness started. We spent 2 hours talking about building our own city and running it. With slaves and stones and an awesome hierarchy of dominance in the new society we create. It brought back memories for the nostalgic days of secondary school.

Sunday came, routine sunday, went out with pork again to look for bags, ended up buying none. But to cap off the awesome weekend, we caught the movie "A-Team" which was AWESOME ! Everyone should go watch it.

In a few hours I'll be starting work. Time to sleep. And good luck to me. Jia You Lianshen !

Sunday was awesome !

Sunday was pretty awesome ! Pork and I played pool till about 2am on saturday night, reaching back about 230am and giving me about 5 hours of sleep before waking up for bball at 830am later that morning. Reached the court at 9am, Siqin, Kangwei, Tiongyuan and Eezhong were already playing with the people there (since I was holding the ball). Sky darkened. I played only 2 games before it started to rain. Great, the season just resumed and this had to happen. But all was good, we decided to play some L4D2 at Ang mo kio.

While driving there, the idea of breakfast hit me, and Long John's nicely located below the lan shop. That means Texas Chicken Toast ! We ate there and while eating we've decided on the teams - Team amk/lentor (Kangwei, Tiongyuan, Eezhong, Hoeaik) vs Team Bishan/shunfu/sinming (Me, Siqin, Pork, Alvin)

Played the entire first map and half of the second map. It was awesome ! Harder compared to the previous L4D but nonetheless still awesome. It was mad fun and we were shouting like secondary school kids during gameplay.

After that it was home and sleep.

Woke up at 5pm, prepared to meet pork. Picked pork and met up with kim at her place before deciding to head down to Cineleisure for K. Booked a 730pm slot.

Dropped Kim and pork at the entrance of Cineleisure for them to check out tickets and to queue up for food first while I parked the car. Went down to B2 and saw dragon. Lucky ! After meeting up with pork, we managed to get the 10pm Prince of Persia. Lucky ! With good seats. Lucky ! We ate KFC and managed to reach KBox at exactly 730pm. Lucky ! Didn't have to wait and got a room almost immediately. Lucky ! Managed to sing Shan Hu Hai with Kim. Lucky !

Rushed for movie at 10pm, but still missed the initial part of the movie. But the movie was awesome considering the bad ratings it got in magazines and the papers. After which drove back the tired kimmy and pork home before heading home. After bathing, watched 2 episodes of Gossip Girls before crashing.

Less for the $9.10 parking fees and the long freaking wait to get popcorns, it was close to a perfect way to spend a Sunday :D

Donnie Yen is awesome !

I was browsing through yahoo news and there is this one article regarding the possibility of Ip Man as a trilogy. And Jay Chou is slated to be playing Ip's famous student Bruce Lee.
The news is great for fans of the Ip Man franchise. But what got me was the last phrase by Donnie Yen.


[Even lead actor Donnie Yen dismissed another quick sequel. "Let's wait for the script. Also, if Jay Chou is acting as Bruce Lee, I would need half a year to train him for his kungfu to look convincing."]

Haha !!! come on Donnie .. did you see Jay Chou and his whip in Trasure Hunter ?!?!?! Haha .. I know Jay Chou fans will hate me for this but I'm still gonna say this. Donnie is the man ! Haha !

Randomness of stuff

It’s been a while. I’ve got no one to blame but myself for the lack of updates. Laziness. I do not deny. Some random stuff that happened through these few weeks.

Vulnerability of love
A good friend of mine pulled the plug on his relationship with his girlfriend of 5 years. All along, I’ve always thought their wedding would be the first amongst our group of friends that I’ll attend. Stability is the main reason for my assumption. The news came as a shock to me. I understand that every couple have their fair share of quarrels and disagreement. The solution is usually compromise. But the question is, to what extent would compromise work. Sooner or later, it wears down both parties. At that time, would their love for each other be able to hold the fort and stay strong? Apparently for this case, it crumbled under that pressure. I wouldn’t say that I’ve lost faith in love, but the scepticism of the existence of love that is able to withstand anything exists. This issue has stressed the beliefs I have for love as to oppose dogmatism.

Is love really that fragile?

On the other hand, another buddy of mine recently got attached. It was plastered all over his facebook and comments rolled in, mostly with the teasing and congratulatory messages. A simple picture of meehoon bought by your loved one, spells blissfulness and it gives you that warm fuzzy feeling.

Then the question comes again, will this feeling of happiness last and withstand the tireless test of time? Certainly, I wish both my brothers the best. Be it at the end or start of a relationship.

Love, is definitely complex, we love to hate it, and we hate to love it.

Remedial Training
I’ve completed a cycle of remedial training at Bedok camp. It is time wasting and tiring, but I’m just glad it is over. I really need to get back in shape.

Qing ming
Qing Ming is here again, once again, the area near my house is jammed up every weekend. A simple trip from Bishan back to home usually takes 5 minutes. But with the traffic, I need to make a turn through Shunfu, back to upper Thomson and finally back home. The new journey takes 20 minutes with all the jam.

Every Qing Ming, my estate suddenly becomes like a condo. We have policemen stationed at both exits of my estate and they double up like security guards. They endure the sweltering heat and the unforgiving rain. And every time I drive up to them, upon seeing the car decal I have up on my vehicle, a smile forms across their faces. Two thumbs up!

Teaching
I’ve recently stopped teaching two of my students, due to circumstances that I am unable to react to and carry on teaching. It has been two weeks already, still no news from their parent. To make things worse, it is their exams this week. Hopefully they’ve manage to pull through. I think I worry too much for them, I really have to learn to let go.

Kick Ass
Kick ass kicked ass! Awesome movie! With its slapstick humour and awesome action, it is really worth watching. Oh yeah, by the way Chloë Grace Moretz = Yummy !

全城热恋热辣辣 = AWESOMENESS

Saturday (20th Feb 2010) was a busy day. Went back to work in the morning, alice, lisa and saiful was on the morning shift with me. Requested to leave at 2pm due to the stupid RT at bedok camp. Skipped lunch but Roger fried some awesome fried rice at 2pm for me. Left work at 2pm sharp. Brian called saying he was at Thomson, with the intention to look me up at work. I was queueing up for 4D at that time. We had a quick coffee at Hans before he sent me home.

I rushed to shower and pack my stuff (with the intention to shower at Bedok camp after RT). Reached bedok camp on the dot. Parked far far away from the stadium. After which I realised I could have just parked beside the bloody stadium. Saw Angle there. Awesome, at least someone i knew. Everything finished at about 715pm. Rushed home to bathe instead.

Drove out to pork's place at 830pm. Reached Jason's place at 9pm. Finally reaching Anita's place for her bday celebration at 930pm. Ate a little. Anita has this odd charm about her. Do not know how to put it in words but yes, she's charming in a certain sense. Left shortly after at about 1030pm. Picked Ying Hui up at Kallang, headed for suntec. There were discussions on whether to head for KTV or just settle for movie. We chose to latter. Watched the movie 全城热恋热辣辣, it was AWESOME !!!!!!







Drove to Ying Hui's place before having a quick bite at a coffeeshop before heading home. It was a nostalgic day. like your typical saturday night 6 months ago.


sigh.


Things change.

2012

Don't know why, I suddenly have this urge to move to Australia, Perth.

Anywho, just watched 2012 with Jason and xiaowan. Pretty okay movie. I like the way the writers induce some humour into the script. Well, the tickets were sold out at most major cinema. So we ended up watching at Balestier. Parking was damn cheap too :)
