Forumites Outing

Went to Holland V Delifrance for dinner yesterday with a group of forumites. Feels great to meet up with online ppl cos it gives a element of suspense. =) But felt a bit left out when everyone else talked abt things that I'm not aware of. First outing with the group, so cant expect myself to immerse fully within the clique.

Seems like they are card fanatics too, spent some time walking ard looking for secluded places to play cards, after our games were stopped by a BK personnel. Playing cards in fast food restaurants...I'm not that hardcore to even think of that lol. Reminds me of JC days where almost everyone was addicted to cards: Took the risk to play at the class bench; Went to search for safe places, eg staircases, hidden building corners, band room, percussion room... (someone even suggested pipe/electrical storerooms omg!) The hardest was to find a good place to play cards in the city area. Virtually nowhere is safe =(

New school drama coming up soon! Felicia Chin as a fashionable teacher! The next Aiyoyo/Fang Laoshi? Cant wait to see how the class would be like. =)

Enough is Enough

I had enough of guard duties! 3 times a week is too far. I would have complained if there weren't offs given for weekend duties. We duty-fit ppl are suffering just because there are so many ppl not eligible for guard duties for some silly reasons.

Felt so dizzy the past few days, probably cos of the irregular sleeping hours. Not used to it...bah.

Update: I might be shifting house soon. =) Bye Bukit Panjang!

The Day After Tomorrow will be showing on Ch 5 next Sunday! Flooding...I like, haha. =) Prepare your sweaters!

Back to work

Yawn...the 1 week+ of year-end holidays is over, it's back to oil and dirt. Another guard duty awaiting tmr, sigh. Jiayou for those going for sch again =).

Dawn Yeoh will be starring in a coming engineering-themed drama and I can say she's quite pretty in the show, compared to her previous pauper girl image in Xing Shan Shan. Now that I notice closely, she really does look like Fann. Acting alongside Christopher in the show, it seems like a imitation of Chris-Fann relationship haha.

But I think Dawn is prettier, her cheeks are not as puffy as Fann, hehe. And of course, she's much younger (1 or 2 years older than me?) than Fann who is at her mid-thirties.

For those who still dunno who I'm talking abt here's a pic:


4 hours before I must wake up again, gotta go to bed now...dawwwwn...i mean yawwwwn...

Happy 2006! (Part 2)

Seeing so many ppl ranking the songs they like, I have decided to do one on my own too! After all I'm a avid listener of songs, only mandarin song that is, haha. Since I'm free listener (only listens to what is played on radio), it's quite difficult for me to rank the songs exactly, so I will just list my top 20 songs of the year.

独唱情歌 - Tank/Selina
爱是你眼里的一首情歌 - 郭美美
爱情路 - 周华健
爱情复兴 - 容祖儿
舞娘 - 蔡依林
曹操 - 林俊杰
亲亲 - 梁静茹
约定 - 光良
触摸 - 陈伟联
过敏 - 杨承琳
菊花台 - 周杰伦
我会好好的 - 王心凌
一眼万年 - S.H.E.
天天夜夜 - F.I.R.
Love Story - 范逸臣
雨天 - 孙燕姿
大城小爱 - 王力宏

There are 3 songs that I exceptionally like, so I decided to take them out of my main list. =)

And the songs are...

真的 - 张韶函

Haha, quite shocking. I seem to be the only one among my friends who appreciate this song a lot. Even one of my friend who listens to radio frequently doesn't know abt this song. >_<

Happy 2006! (Part 1)

Sucks to spend the last day of 2006 in camp doing guard duty. What a significant way to mark the end of the year. >_> That's not all, 2 more guard duties are following closely behind, which makes 3 duties within the span of 1 week. Superb planning isn't it?

There is no typo in the entry title, after all this entry will be abt my review of 2006, the first year I stopped studying in school after more than 12 years of my life. =) The special feeling of not having to worry abt homework, oblivious to school holidays...

Have watched 14 movies this year, which sets my highest record of the most movies watched in a year. Let's see how the movies rank in my viewership ratings.

14) Click: Quite a meaningful movie along with the humour, which can be quite ridiculous at times. However the over-exposure to spoilers destroyed my enjoyment of this show. =( Rating: 5.5/10

13) John Tucker Must Die: Laugh and forget, as what I always described for this movie. Can't forget a particular part of the story though, when the girl said "Because I'm lovely." Good one there. Rating: 6/10

12) Dragon Tiger Gate: Why is there always literal translation of chinese movie titles when dragons and tigers are involved? Can't they use a better translation? Some cheesy, exaggerated fighting scenes. Rating: 6/10

11) Memoirs of a Geisha: My first movie of the year. Not bad, but the language and culture behind the making of the film seem a bit rojak. Chinese actresses speaking English in a Japanese setting. Rating: 6.5/10

10) Da Vinci Code: Have never read the book beforehand, thus enjoyed the movie better than the readers. =) Reminds me of National Treasure, where the protagonists travel ard looking for clues. Dun quite like the part when they debate too much on Christianity. Rating: 6.5/10

9) Mission Impossible 3: Unbelievable technologies, haha. Really amazing to see how the ppl complete seemingly impossible tasks. Rating: 7/10

8) Poseidon: Watched this on the same day as MI3. Liked the sinking scenes in this movie as much as those in Titanic. Lol I'm so sadistic! I've a fetish to see things flooding and sinking...(like The Day After Tmr) Thought of watching The Sinking of Japan too, but definitely nobody would accompany me. Rating: 7/10

7) Curse of the Golden Flower: I like the flowery settings in this movie. =) The plot is rather interesting too. Rating: 7/10

6) Over The Hedge: This kind of animated movies never fail to amuse me, who could ever forget the squirrel (?) which stopped the rotation of the Earth? Exaggerated but really funny. The explosion caused by the skunk is also hilarious. =p Rating: 7.5/10

5) Pirates of the Caribbean: Haha, Jack Sparrow gets into trouble again! Can't wait for the 3rd series! Rating: 7.5/10

4) X-Men 3: I like the last part of the movie, showdown on the island. Nice to watch how different 'mutants' exhibited their unique abilities to deal with the situations. Rating: 8/10

3) Death Note 2: Loses out to the first part because it gives a very cramped feeling, like Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. So much plot has to unfold within the short 140 minutes of the show. Nevertheless I still enjoyed the movie. =) Rating: 8/10

2) I Not Stupid Too: Better than the first instalment imo. There were as much humour as emotional scenes, which made ppl ku xiao bu de. Very well done. Rating: 8.5/10

1) Death Note 1: My top movie of the year! The presentation of the movie was much better than I expect from reading the manga. Despite knowing most of the story beforehand, I was still intrigued by the mystery and suspense, esp at the last part. Light is indeed a true genius. (L as well too, haha) Rating: 9.5/10

Movies

Watched Curse of the Golden Flower on Christmas Eve at Vivo. It's a story of a super screwed up imperial family, with lunatic emperor and empress. The movie scenes give a very bright and colourful impression with the overly decorated palace and costumes (ahem!). The plot's not bad, at least I was moved by some emotional parts of the show. But seem like most ppl dislike this movie, well.

Ya, Jay was a bit out of place in the movie. It's like he would take out a microphone anytime and start singing.

Next up was Death Note 2 at the same cinema. First time watching in GV Max, quite huge I can say, lots of leg space too. Sitting at the 15th row made me feel that the screen is a bit too far, but nvm I enjoyed the show nevertheless.

The plot is a bit complicated so I wun explain it here, it's best to watch the movie on your own to fully enjoy the suspense and mystery that the story gives. Lots of spoilers regarding the amended plot from the actual comic, which I din bother to read. That's why I was able to feel surprised at the ending, haha.

I still love Misa =p

Cohesion at SAFRA Yishun Bowl yesterday, 3 years since I've been there. Bowled to my hearts content without worrying abt the price =) Haiz, but why do I suck at bowling? Could never score beyond 90 points, grrr...
