What in the world?!!!
Went to Imax at Science Centre for "Poseidon" yesterday. didnt want to watch this movie cuz i felt it looks like a lame re-make. AND TRUE ENOUGH! ITS TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my colleague organised this and i thot since i havent been to the ommi theather in like 10 over yrs, i go see it for the effects. ticket cost $15, theather quite full but too bad the movie is downright bad. unlike the original 1972 version, this totally sinks. its not exciting, script is terribly corny and meaningless. seems they just film a few scenes that dun gel and throw them together for a movie. it was not thrilling at all or make you feel on the edge of yr seat, despite the ship turing over and evveryone falling upside down. in 72 when technology was not advance, the actors used their skills and emotions to demonstrate the fear and challenge to escape. now aiyooo...everything wanna use computer generated effects.
the actor's were all like c-grade actors. even though some of them are actually not. wonder where the director get all the approvals for this big sinking project! better off making something else!

long weekend no long enough
....the last long weekend has passed....sad....our next PH is in Aug...and i think its not long wkend.
it was a nice easy weekend but too bad i nearly caught the flu. started on thurs...already sneezing whole day and felt weak but still nie nie go for yoga class. its like that once you paid up for something, u tend to want to make yr money's worth. end up did half hearted yoga in class. waste time:(
Fri- Vesak day! lots of interesting Vesak day activities at various temples...wanted to go to one in Aljunied where their had a Nepal fair....but weather started looking gloomy and didnt go out cuz scared rain. still feeling weak and ended up sleeping 6 hrs in afternoon.
Sat - woke up and still not feeling too good. sore throat and cough......drats got ktv later....luckily cleared up. a bit worried that i booked expensive ktv....dunno why i decided on Party World instead of K-box...guess i wanted a change......ended up fren got discount coupon. so happy for that! funny thing is that there was a black out at the KTV...first time encouter this. mgt only gave a measly 30mins more. but overall experience ok lah......sound system i think better than k box. only thing i dun understand why KTV toilets never clean!? this is a big mystery.
later when to Food Republic in Wisma......this is really one of the better food courts around. its clean and has a nice concept, the food is pretty alright too...BUT...yup...all these comes with a higher price tag. i was craving for something soupy and also the korean food there. heck about the throat, i wanted the spicy soup. while waiting for the rest to order, i also got "sucked" into buying snacks from the travelling vendors, they had this dim sum girl going around with a trolley and indian guy walking around selling papadum. end up buying 2 baskets of dim sum at $3 each and the papadum. later also bought a ribena drink at $1.80 and barley/ginko dessert at $2. ...all in all $17.80 at the food court! ....ok...lah, i guess feel good can already.
wanted to also buy the famous fried hokkien sotong mee wrapped in leaf....but queue is too long. my fren who just came back from HK, naturally had some craving for wanton mee and they had the HK type selling too.....$4.50for the noodles....and the seller asked "xiao mei, yao bu yao jia char siew?"...she happily said "yes!".....ended up $2 extra! haha...she couldnt stop grumbling.
stayed there until 10pm...and then moved on to cineleisure for coffee. one fren who now worked with a record co joined us. she brings pple like A-Do and JJ around.....asked her who is the handsomest singer she has seen, and really wanted to faint with her answer!! it was A-do! siow. anyway, maybe becuz its her artiste. say he is very generous and chin chai. hmmm....
Sun - Mother's Day! that time of the year again...although everyone says its commercialised but still mums will be mums...they wanna be pampered on this day. if give ang pow lagi better.
brought my mum to eat the nasi padang at Rendevous....long long time never eat there .....yummy. i guess they hold secret recipies. u will end up eating lots of rice here cuz the curry is so good. after that watched Mi3 at the newly revamped Cathay. sound system and seats are excellent. movie so so..ok lah quite entertaining. there wasnt much plot actually. but nice to see it filmed in Rome and Shanghai. mum said tom cruise is very handsome and charming when he smiles. the new cathay building is quite nice, exterior a bit plain though...but hrd its done by famous japanese architect. same one who did Vivo city at world trade centre.
for dinner, went to my dad's fave part of spore - race course rd area to eat at a coffee shop. this coffee shop got a china store selling Guo Die and china noodles. the guodie was excellent! the meat not very oily and skin very thin and crispy. not starchy at all. there is also a white rojak store. they dun use prawn paste but rather malt sugar (mai ya tang) to make the sauce, so it ends up light and refreshing. prawn noodle store also not bad. generous with pork ribs, prawns and got thick soup.
Monday....ahh . NO MOOD TO WORK. took mc....was feeling real bad in the morning. body was aching and felt feverish. went to Dover clinic....nice feeling to walk around on a weakday ....everything is so peaceful and quiet. ate soup fish ball kuey tiao at one of the coffee shops. $2 only, one big bowl! so cheap man......only can find in this type of old estate. definitely taste better than any foodcourt.
and thats the end of the long weekend......

Music makes the world go round!
so happy that u heard a good song while going to work these 2 days. it really perks one up esp when u are dreading the journey to work early in the morning. yesterday flying dutchman played Culture's Club's "Miracle".....man! its feels so good to hear this kind or true 80s pop music ....boy george was such a cool character....although he was a cross dresser type and wore tones of make up but still he appealed to all audiences, no one really felt he was ah kua or whatever. his music also included a lot of soul influences....good stuff. when u listen to this type of happy upbeat 80s pop songs, really make u feel like u are back in the good old simple days. days where life in spore was picking up, pple getting more affluent but yet not overly "pretentious" yet.
this morning i heard OMD's classic "if u leave" from the Pretty In Pink OST. one of my all time fave movie and also OST. in fact i remembered i didnt own a CD player yet in the early 90s and i went ahead to buy this $25 OST CD just to keep. it was also my first CD.
They also played a Kon Kan song...oh dear suddently cant remember the title....this was a bit more towards the late 80s where music was getting a bit chessy with Stock Aiken Waterman (kylie minogue, jason donovan, sinitta...kind of songs) and US pop crap from pple like bobby brown , Paula Abdul, MC hammer etc...but it was still a very fun and happy song. one of those few better ones out of that period.

Unusual Monday
zzzzzzzzzz....feeling so bored in the office...which is rare cuz its MONDAY!!! but touch wood lah.....maybe cuz i had to do like 4 proposals last few weeks at the same time so now its "relax" time. oh well, better enjoy it while it last.
quite pissed that had to pay $336 for a burnt table in bintan! warning to all ....NEXT TIME...DO NOT put the portable bbq pit on a poolside table!!! no matter how sturdy the table looks! it WILL BURN!!! quite funny cuz during the beg of the bbq, somebody asked "hey...will it melt the plastic?" and everyone looked under the table and said "looks fine and continued bbq.."
then the food got cooked real fast as the heat was quite intense....i said "wah this portable pit not bad ah......so effective and so convenient! hhehhehe"....at the end of the dinner, while clearing up...the shock came!!! "er...rob rob...come and see this ah....." newspapers were removed and 2 big burnt holes appeared on the white tables!!! aiyo! siow liao.....the plastic melted and driped down like a candle wax ...below the table were rather beautiful formation of the masmellow like plastic.......haha.....oh no...how much will this cost us man......and any way to dispose evidence?
maybe throw in the sea! hee....no lah, my company will know of it...sian...
no wonder there was a caramel like smell earlier, it was odd but not unbearable .......please ah touch wood...hope this plastic thingy is not cancerous!
i though this might end up like $300 a table cuz outdoor poolside furniture - the good ones are expensive. Plus hotel cut throat prices....ooohh...:( but oh well, at least below my estimation. but they converted the bill in SGD to Rupiah ...terrible lah...at 5700 rate. so a little bit more than the $336. none the less, the weekend was fun! good to getaway from spore and just chill out at a resort. the buggy attached was quite a highlight for all. haha. those that do not have license had chance to drive.
the bintan resorts are usually full of Sporeans (where else can we go for a quick getaway?) but last weekend, less sporeans cuz of polling. nonetheless, the spore expatriates and korean tourists made up for the visitors. find it quite amazing where so many korean tourists in bintan? its been like this for the past 3 years. after all it was not Bali...in fact just a small island off Spore and basically have to come thru spore to visit bintan (easier way). the massues (massage woman..haha) said that many of them come for honeymoon and added they all marry young like 20s. whereas spore couples who come all like 30s or late 20s. they like the sunny weather cuz korea is normally cold...and suggested i go korea for my honeymoon next time as its cool and nice...not like Spore and Bintan... javaese massage is fantastic....just different from those massage in spore. dunno why, but they massage well and you feel the blood circulating and you feel very relaxed. for $38 an hour, they will come to your room for the massage. and i heard some sporeans massage every day whjile they are there esp those playing golf. wow....what a life
when going back at the ferry terminal, saw class 95 DJ rod monterio.....he was there too...played golf i presume. i do find his shows quite funny on radio...although corny but will make u laugh. he is better than glenn ong. and music is also geared towards good 80s stuff. anyway, the ferry terminal was full, i guess sunday evening was the most popular timing. before the gates open, pple were queing up already from the glass door. i know in everyone's heart, we all wanna rush for good seats and not sit with strangers. when door open, everyone sort of rushed towards ferry quickly.....a bit kiasu action....as expected Rod commented on this on his show yesterday...saying that why sporeans so kiasu etc etc...resort shld relax lah......say how he was suprised pple acted this way....i felt like calling in!! as if he didnt rush to the door when its time for boarding? did he seat down and waited till everyone board then he board...no man!
although its yeah, kiasu beahviour but lets face it if you dun walk quickly of line up earlier, trust me you are going to end up in some corner seat alone! or look silly walking up and down the arles looking for a seat. further more of course famililies wanna seat together. i find as long its not running and pushing pple ok lah. but i am sure he is guilty of it.
Angsoka villa!

Badddd Habit!!
Drats! today late again...and had to take cab in. arrrggghhhh...$16!!! thats like 4 days lunch here...sob.....dunno why forgot to set alarm clock last night and slept with make up on.....sob sob.....ok i MUST FORCE myself to at least wash my face the minute i step into the house!! no matter how tired i am....!
skin looking terrible in the morning when u sleep like that. noticed dark eye circles also bad.....dunno why sleep 6 hours also like that. think i must get more beauty sleep. last weekend, took one 4 hrs afternoon nap......woke up with really good skin and eyes looks fresher. i think this is the true beauty sleep aka...additional sleep besides night routine. but sleeping is sometimes such a waste of time....haha.....shouldnt think like that...ok....
sister watching some some episodes of Long Vacation at night...she another nite owl....cant believe that drama is like 8 yrs old. kimura looks like a stick in it. but it one of those classics. realised he acts around his own age in dramas....his age have been increasing over the yrs in the drams...latest in Engine and age is about 32 i think....haha...good luck was 28 or 29? wonder if he will be acting when he is 50! who knows maybe NO successor.
actually he can pull off a 27 right now....but i think he is not that type of actor who will do that.
really enjoy watching SMAP variety shows on you tube (to the creator of you tube - You are the man! or woman...) kimura looks totally a kid on it unlike his cool characters on TV.
there is one segment of him like a jap a-beng singing that "oh mih hee" song in a cheesy nite club and having exaggerating body movements. good fun.
cant believe watching the Da Chang Jin show now. its slow, but pretty good story telling.
chinese teacher said korean food culture cannot beat china...haha. they still do the food not as fine and not much art. well..true true....china was the super power then. becuz of this show, lots of SEA tourist go korea. remembered lori mentioned met a thai couple in her seoul hostel, and they wanted to visit all the Da Chang Jin sites! but cant read speak korean/english at all. lori shake head....she also couldnt help them...haha....they were just pure crazy over the drama.
