[ LaU Pa SaT & sEntOSa ]

sunday morning.. yes.. its morning.. had a rough night.. didnt sleep much.. touched the bed at 4.. didnt fall asleep till 5.30.. n wake up almost every 45 mins intervals.. i guess i shd kick the habit of taking sat afternoon nap.. it is distorting my sleeping pattern on sat night.. sigh..

went out with CK, Marcus n Joelle last night.. we went over to Lau Pa Sat for our 'dinner' (practically it was only me taking the dinner dinner.. the pair took MacDonald's while they were mugging.. n CK took dinner at home).. i missed the calamari so much.. hm.. it was really yummy-licous.. haha.. and we were lucky to find a parking space the moment we arrived.. well.. the satay uncle sort of directed us to an empty spot.. but of course like wat Marcus had mentioned.. we are so-callled obliged to order satays from him later..

First couple of the NIGHT = Marcus & Joelle

Second couple of the NIGHT = ME & CK

ordered 20 sticks of satays (10 muttons & 10 chix).. I LOVE MUTTON!! ya.. FATTENING.. haha.. got the rest of the food from the chinese 'zi char' stall.. that included [sambal kang kong.. sambal stingray.. n 'tua tao' (aka mussels)].. no calamari.. was worried that we cant finish all much food.. the guys went to buy the famous 'tek terik'.. as usual 1 iced.. 3 hot.. haha..

Our 20 sticks of yummy-licous satays

the SAMBAL stingray is powerful.. really can 'fly'.. love the sambal.. not too spicy but the flavour is full.. **beam**.. the kang kong was alright.. BUT the 'tua tao' SUCKS.. pui.. in chinese.. we called it 'xing'.. so we asked the 'didi' who sold us the 'tua tao' to come over.. he explained that is the seafood taste of 'tua tao'.. the exact words shd be 'hai xian wei' (in chinese).. huh??? but the so-called 'hai xian wei' is so 'fan wei'.. **puke**.. then he offered to change this dish to something else for us.. n i cant resist ordering 'su-su' to try.. eating 'su-su' requires skills k.. it actually test ur 'sucking' skills.. haha.. similar concept to that of tying a knot on the cherry stalk.. we also decided to order the calamari as well..

'Hai Xing Wei' de 'Tua Tao' & Powerful Stingray & Okie Kang Kong

hm.. the calamari was not from the same stall.. we still prefer the 'authentic' calamari that we had tried before.. it was really good.. u can literally taste the butter as u bit into the fried squid.. but to be honest.. it wasnt that bad.. just that we are food connoisseurs.. haha.. 'su-su' were good.. i love SUCKING them.. haha.. (i can tie a knot on the cherry stalk).. haha.. Joelle had a hard time eating the 'su-su'.. she even resorted to using the satay sticks.. hm.. but not really successful.. Marcus used his teeth to eat the 'su-su'.. HE BIT THE SHELL AND BROKE IT.. so that he could take out the flesh and eat them.. huh??? he even jokingly mentioned that his mom gave him a set of teeth that can break anything except diamond.. haha.. impressive isnt it.. CK was doing well.. not much prob.. haha.. now we know we can do what.. grin..

Test of the NIGHT = See who can suck the most number of 'Su-Su'!

the 4 of us were deciding where to go after that.. brought the car for a wash along Telok Blangah Road.. hm.. Joelle suggested driving into Sentosa for a drive.. n some exploration.. y not.. bought drinks.. n we drove there.. usually entry to Sentosa costs S$2.00 per car & per pax.. so we were expecting to pay S$10.00 to get into Sentosa.. wahahaha.. FREE ENTRY in the end ah.. the uncle didnt ask us to stop n pay.. so we happily drove in.. wahahaha..

Marucs suggested gng to 15 degree or 1 degree or what was it called again.. erm....... i FORGOT.. haha.. but the view at the place is really breath-taking.. i had been there once with Marcus and his Air Force friends doing charity work.. the place has a fantastic view of the sea.. yachts.. and i think u can sit at the wooden platform and chit-chat (provided there is no one supervising u).. hee.. wow.. Marcus managed to guide us in the right direction.. n we could see the place already.. but damn it.. the security guard stopped us.. informed us in a no-nonsense manner that the place is out of bounds n asked us to go back.. shit.. no choice.. made a u-turn n went back.. drove around Sentosa to 'tou feng'..

walked along Tanjong Beach for a while (so quiet so quiet so quiet).. sat down at the pavilion to chit chat for a while.. i wanted to take photographs but was stopped promptly by Marcus.. he causally commented that u dunno who will appear in the photographs later.. touch wood.. so no photographs.. was sitting behind this couple.. that Joelle n i CANT SEE AT ALL.. but the guys could describe the clothes the guy was wearing n what was the couple doing (ONLY HUGGING.. they said no smooching).. not true.. i cant see a thing.. only palm trees on that little island in front of us.. chey..

drove over to the ferry terminal to look for the old muscial fountain.. didnt manage to see it at all.. my new pair of heels was killing me.. didnt really want to walk around looking for it.. plus it wun even 'dance' at 2 in the morning.. took some photographs of the NEW VIVO city from across the sea.. PSA (Port of Singapore Authority).. n the 'DA ZHONG LOU' at the ferry terminal.. i suddenly realised that we had visited two 'DA ZHONG LOU' in singapore within the same night.. haha.. so ciao..

VIVO city (Left) & PSA (Right)

2nd 'Da Zhong Lou' of the NIGHT

agreed to let Marcus drive the car for a while in the carpark.. ck sat beside him.. n the girls were at the back.. i think he got the kick out of it.. motivated to tk his class 3 after the short drive.. was pretty simple.. just driving in circles around the car park.. round n round n round n round n round n round.. k.. u got the idea.. wink..

sent everyone safely home before i could announce HOME SWEET HOME.. hee.. a good night with my closest people.. cheers..

no tuition all the way till dec.. now i can enjoy my sunday rotting at home.. haha.. have a good weekend to all.. cheers.. =)

[ 1 yEaR aNNiVeRsaRy ]

sat evening.. just woke up from my nap.. still feeling a bit sleepy.. i spent my whole day sleeping.. haha.. recharging after a week's work.. hm.. no idea where to go later.. still rotting at home.. oh k.. fine.. i shd have been more honest.. i am waiting for the car so that i can drive out later.. haha..

went out with ck to celebrate TGIF (i had suggested Pasta Fresca along Bukit Timah Road.. got the craving for the seafood soup).. n unintentionally our 1 year anniversary.. hm.. the exact date shd be today(21.10.06).. since i was quite stressed over certain work issues.. hm.. very tempted to open a bottle over dinner.. so we got for ourselves a bottle of white wine.. during the first toast.. ck mentioned 'after twevle'.. in words.. i would consider that was the celebration.. haha..

Elfo (Pasta Fresca's House Wine)

ordered our main courses as well (in the end.. i didnt order my soup.. haha).. the desgin of the menu had changed (more user-friendly.. it used to be quite messy and cluttered).. so did the servings.. it used to be super large that could feed almost two adults.. but not.. i think one serving is just right for a person.. however the prices went up.. isnt that strange.. i rem i paid ard S$10.90 for a plate of carbonara during my last visit.. now.. i am paying S$14.70.. but the taste remained quite the same.. therefore i am not really penalising that place.. after all.. i really enjoy the alfresco dinning..

CK was sipping the white wine while waiting for his FOOD

main course for ck loked superb good.. he ordered some sort of pasta stuffed with minced mutton.. cream base pasta.. it was one of the chef's specialties.. good choice.. because it really smelled, tasted and looked good.. haha.. in chinese.. they called it 'se xiang wei ju quan'.. haha.. my chinese improved!!! i ping-ed that out myself.. haha.. **beams**.. as mentioned above.. my main course was the TRADITIONAL carbonara.. haha.. but i love it.. n they gave me lotsa of bacons.. haha.. wow WOW wow.. fattening!!!

ME at Pasta Fresca (Bukit Timah)

chatted over dinner (ya la.. ya la.. i gossiped over dinner.. haha).. decided to do some marking (not that i really have a choice.. because i had to explain to mich the following morning).. gotta finish marking a 'O' levels pure chemistry paper 1 (luckily its MCQ.. if not i will really faint).. whose brain can really function after a good dinner and SOME wine.. haha..

ck read his notes (given by his BOSS.. haha).. happily chilling out.. and all of a sudden we heard a LOUD CRASH.. i swore it was LOUD lor.. concluded that it must be an accident.. and pretty near us.. since we can hear it so clear.. and the crowd began to gather.. almost everyone along that stretch of road turned their heads or walked towards the pavement to take a closer look.. of course ck n i went as well.. my gosh.. this is one of the worst car accident that i had ever seen.. looking at the impact.. i believed the driver was trying to make a u-turn(near 6th avenue).. he should have turned too fast.. n hit straight onto the trailer (i think that is wat it is).. wow.. the passenger's [cui ke].. really man.. the tyre rim was flatten and the driver could just hold it.. my goodness.. windscreen also gone.. the engine also GONE.. (that means $$$$$ also gone).. but LUCKILY.. the driver was fine.. he looked fine.. but i think just shaken by the impact of the accident.. anyone would be.. the ambulance and the police came and didnt leave until 11 plus.. i rem the accident took place ard 9 plus.. the whole stretch kena traffic jam for the whole time that i was there.. my goodness.. one good thing.. but the time ck n i were abt to leave.. the traffic is much better.. so no effect on us really.. phew..

hm.. as i was typing this blog.. i was making plans for later.. so i am heading to Lau Pa Sat (i think that is how it is being spelled).. haha.. with ck, marucs and joelle.. after that.. we will decide later.. haha.. have a good weekend.. cheers..

took some photos of Gwendolyn drinking my milo yesterday afternoon.. made myself some milo to keep myself awake while i did my late duty.. haha.. lyn lyn saw it and sat down happily beside me.. she pointed to herself n said, "I also want." so i walked to the kitchen n got her a cup too.. because the milo was so hot.. she kept blowing it.. haha.. so funny.. then she used her tongue to test the temperature.. before drinking it.. she was so happy after that.. she told me, "Lyn Lyn likes milo."

overslept today.. so took a cabby to work.. walked out to the main road to get a cab.. then i saw this MPV cab.. i was thinking whether it will stop if i flag for it.. haiya.. anyway i just tried.. wow.. it really stopped.. haha.. was a bit hesistant to board.. first of all.. it was a 7 seater MPV.. and there is only one ME.. haha.. i definitely dun need a MPV.. haha.. and i was thinking if the fare will be very expensive.. hm.. but no choice.. the uncle stopped right in front of me already.. so i boarded it.. cheers..

the uncle told me that he had chauffeured me before.. i was like "HUH?".. i dun even rem who is who.. haha.. i was very surprised.. but he was right.. he was able to tell me the exact location and the building that i was gng to.. totally amazed.. haha.. n i really the smell of a new car.. so niceeeeeee.. hee.. and the seat is really comfortable.. and HIGH.. i like the feeling.. hee.. the uncle also told me there are many other functions for the MPV.. haha.. impressive isnt it.. its must be my lucky day.. =)

sunday evening.. waiting for my turn to shower.. take the opportunity to blog.. hee.. =)

just came back from IMM.. brought Alpha out.. he arrived at my place as early as 11am.. my goodness.. i just woke up when he came knocking at my door.. hm.. and as i blog earlier in the day.. he was harassing me.. asking me to let him play computer games.. haha.. after he played for a while.. he took lunch and continued to harass me somemore.. haha... i dun want to babysit on sunday.. i have practically 9 children to myself almost everday.. sat n sun are strictly reserved for the adults.. haha.. so i managed to coax him to take a nap while i did my reports.. good.. at least i got two hours of peace to myself.. managed to finish one report in the end.. promised him that i will bring him out after his nap.. so i took a quick shower and got changed.. cheers..

drove over to West Coast Park.. went to the Mac's Drive-Thru service.. and got him a Happy Meal.. for being such a good boy.. hehe.. he wanted the toy n insisted on a green balloon.. alright.. since he is being such a good boy.. got him both.. and he was eating quietly at the back seat.. i guess he was hungry after all.. he took lunch ard 1pm.. ya.. hungry liao le.. haha.. fetched my dad.. n met up with mummy at IMM.. =)

Alpha saw this whole row of machines.. hm.. those white white one that u turn it.. a ball with goodies in it will roll out.. dunno what the hack is that call.. he saw it and wanted it again.. i think it must be me.. i brought him to IMM last sunday n brought him two.. so in the end.. he kept on asking my daddy for two.. opps.. next he saw children riding on animals (those hairy hairy battery operated moving animals/machines?).. in the end my daddy paid two bucks for him to ride ard.. but he was scared to do it alone.. dragged my daddy to sit together with him.. haha.. quickly flashed out my camera n took some snapshots.. he doesnt really like the camera.. no idea y also.. hm..

Daddy helping Alpha to move ard the area.. =)

Alpha concentrating hard in 'drifting'?

went to eat dinner at Kopi Thiam (2nd level).. then Alpha asked to sit on the MOVING ANIMAL again.. argh.. no idea y.. i dun see the big thrill in riding those animals.. so celine n i went walking ard IMM.. targetted The Face Shop.. we actually spend close to 20 mins browsing thru the items.. in the end.. i settled for a stick eye shadow (it's white) n a green tea fine facial foam.. celine got for herself three facial masks.. we did this while Alpha rode on the animals.. haha.. at least my parents are taking care of him for the time being.. seems like they are having a good time too.. =)

Got this from The Face Shop's webby.. smart eh..

left promptly after that.. as Alpha still needs to go back to mama's house.. (he returns to his paternal grandmother's house on sunday night.. so we have to send him back in time).. vroom..

a peaceful sunday.. reports down! 2 more to go! jia you! hehe.. gng to shower n meeting Mr Zhou after that.. night all.. cheers.. =)

[ vIvO cItY & caThaY & cIne ]

sunday morning.. well.. i think i got into the routine of waking up at 11am on sun.. as i have tuition.. my eyes will just automatically pop open.. argh.. digusting.. because i dun have tuition.. and i slept at nearly 6 last night.. this is so sickening.. argh..


went to vivo city last night to explore.. well.. i do have to admit.. as what the advertisement claimed.. it is indeed one the BIGGEST mall in singapore that included cinemas.. fine dinning.. resturants.. cafes (starbucks.. coffee bean.. secret recipe).. retail shops (fashion).. they even have a VIVOmart.. dental clinic and a GP.. nails art saloons.. and they can even include TANGS.. haha.. must be damn freaking big.. oh ya.. they have a SKY PARK that oversees Sentosa.. i kinda like this sky park concept.. it has walkways (made of wooden planks.. i like!), ponds or pools? dunno.. people actually take off their shoes to dip their feet in it.. (i wonder if the designer has that intention in mind?).. n children being children.. WORSE.. they are engaged in water play.. haha.. impressive.. but the sky park is really BIG.. got two levels (2nd & 3rd storey).. the first level even has a kids' playground.. haha.. but seriously.. the haze was so bad last night.. that enjoying the view at the sky park was almost impossible.. Joelle and i were both trying to figure out if the old KFC used to build near the sky park (where we both mug for our 'O' levels.. like 7 - 8 years ago?).. haha.. i guess this VIVO city will shut those singaporeans who always complain that singapore doesnt have a mall as mutlipurpose and HUGE as those in Malaysia (for eg. Justco).. cheers.. =)


i have given quite a beautiful picture of VIVO city.. here comes the UGLY part.. the gang of 4 (ME, CK, Marcus & Joelle) decided to go to Food Republic for our dinner.. the place is nostalgically designed.. the theme focused on Singapore in the 60s? i dunno.. maybe even older.. like the 30s.. haha.. where people can buy 'kok kok mee' by shouting from their houses as the peddler cycles around the estate.. haha.. i got that impression.. hm.. i saw my FAVOURITE BA CHOR MEE stall there.. is used to operate at one of Marine Square's non-air food court.. i recognised the signboard that says 'Hill Street Tai Hwa".. i got so excited about eating it again.. i had been nagging at CK that i missed it alot.. and CK agreed that it was very popular and people got to queue at least half an hour to buy it.. surprising there is no one waiting in the queue today.. but something else caught CK's attention.. my gosh.. the ba chor mee now costs S$5.00.. wow.. so EXPENSIVE.. 5 bucks for noodles??? u must be kidding me.. but i really want to eat it.. so i still bought it.. n asked CK to buy apple juice for me.. hahaha.. biggest mistake.. like what Marcus said.. u pay for HEALTH.. indeed indeed.. the BLOODY small cup of apple jucie costs me S$4.00.. really daylight robbery.. and the rest were complaining abt the prices too.. Marcus went to buy drinks for the rest.. he wanted to get an extra cup of ice to share the drink with Joelle.. so he asked the uncle.. and that fellow told him to paid S$0.30 extra.. wow.. he IMMEDIATELY said "NO NEED" and walked away.. the fellow behind him was giggling away.. seriously.. i dun mind paying 10 cents for a cup of ice.. and i agreed with Marcus when he said that 20 cents is the threshold.. but 30 cents for a cup of ice.. isnt that a bit too much.. it is really like what Marcus said "Chi bu bao, you er bu si."

Food Republic

The S$5.00 Ba Chor Mee & S$4.00 Apple Juice

CK's Fish Bee Hoon Soup = S$5.00

Marcus's Fried Hokkien Mee = S$4.00
(He is lucky.. the uncle asked him if he wanted the 4 or 6 dollars.. haha..)

Joelle's Fried Carrot Cake = S$4.00

CK & I waiting for them to buy food.. =)

drove over to Cathay for SILK.. good movie.. totally scared the shit out of me .. n i need to drive home ALONE later.. haha.. the cast of the show included Chen Chang, Yosuke Eguchi, Karena Lam, Barbie Hsu, Berlin Chen, Chang Chun-ning.. hm.. Barbie Hsu only appears for a few takes.. not really alot of her scenes.. and then she DIED.. haha.. quite disappointing.. but at least she made it to the big screen.. maybe 4 stars out of 5.. for freaking me out at 2am.. haha.. the show is somewhat based on scientific theories.. [anti-gravy].. hm.. but too bad.. the cute looking Japanese guy acts as the SELFISH N MEAN character.. maybe there is y the movie only got 4 stars.. haha.. =)

SILK

Marcus was hungry after the show.. so we drove over to cine to eat XIN WANG HONG KONG CAFE.. i am really so pissed off with their services.. pui.. there was obviously an empty booth seat.. but they REFUSED to give it to us.. saying that that section is closed.. for goodness's sake.. u are a 24 hrs cafe!! well.. directed us to sit somewhere else.. remembering the incident from my last visit (once u order.. u cant change seats.. lame!).. i didnt want to order so that i can change into a booth counter when someone leaves.. waited.. and NICE TIMING.. one table really leave less than 5 mins after we sat down.. Marcus walked over and sat down.. haha.. we followed suit.. he argued that no point waiting for the crew to serve us.. coz dunno what other excuses they might give us.. chey..

was still full but that pathetic dinner.. so ordered something light.. thick toast with peanut butter and jam.. Joelle got the MANGO ICE.. Marcus ordered his usual pork dice fried bee hoon.. haha.. to that extent.. the waitress rem his 'special' order.. haha.. the food is still okie.. but the services really SUCKS.. pathetic is still an understatement.. chatted for a while.. yes.. about POLITICS.. hm.. china.. taiwan.. north korean.. south korean.. blah.. blah blah.. good evening with my friends.. we also chatted about wedding customary.. hm.. seems that we are all the 'experts' (wo know nuts about it).. haha.. ya.. n gossiped a bit about the friends in the circle.. haha.. then happily leave for HOME! HOME SWEET HOME AT 5am.. cheers.. =)

i gotta go.. alpha is hurrying me.. he is at my house now.. he wanted to play computer games.. and he kept on saying, "HOW LONG MORE?" in his whiny tone.. gave up.. surrendered.. he can have the computer.. enjoy the last bit of the weekend to all.. n i am gng back to my reports again.. argh.. waiting for TGIF again.. cheers.. =)

zhong laoshi was making a head band for the violets to wear during their performance at the year-end concert.. she showed it to me when i walked into the classroom.. wow.. so cute.. haha.. made up of yellow and red construction papers.. seeing that gwendolyn is just standing right beside me.. i decided to try the head band on her.. haha.. SO CUTE.. really.. she looked so much like a happy sunflower.. haha.. so i brought her to the office to take a picture of her with the head band.. ya.. n my director told me it is called child abuse.. argh.. its not okie.. i was just trying to document one of her sweetest moments.. haha..

tuesday afternoon.. gng for my late duty soon.. thought i could blog for a while.. not feeling too good.. just went to the doctor earlier on.. got gastric problems again.. popped over the clinic to get some pills.. started yesterday morning.. but stubbornly refused to consult a doctor.. took some painkillers to numb the pain.. but unfortunately.. the pain got the better of me.. in the end.. well.. haha..

went out on sunday with Alpha (my 4th uncle's gf's son).. as mentioned in the earlier entry.. hm.. took him to IMM & Forum.. picked him up ard 3.15pm.. went for my pedicure.. thus i was slightly later than the appointed time.. haha.. since he wanted to go to the playground on the second level at IMM.. brought him there to play for a while.. hm.. but that boy played for less than 5 mins.. haha.. then he saw this young boy wearing the Power Ranger t-shirt n got scared.. n refused to play anymore.. no choice.. i still thought i can have some time to relax n watch him play.. haha.. brought him downstairs to Gaint Hypermart to look at Thomas & Friends.. because he loves them so much.. hm.. apparenly.. it was Brighton who told me to go n look for it there.. we bumped into her as we made our way down.. what a coincidence.. it is always nice to see friends when u least expected them to be.. hee.. walked ard with Brighton n Alpha.. n that boy saw a Thomas & Friends train set that costs 80 bucks n insisted on getting it.. luckily for me.. Brighton managed to coax him out of it.. i nearly wanted to buy him that.. haha.. then decided to bring him to Forum.. as ck is ready to go out.. we met up at Forum.. phew..

ck was already at Forum when we arrived.. walked ard the mall for more Thomas & Friends.. haha.. now.. he wanted a train set that cost over hundreds.. my goodness.. y are kids' toys so expensive now.. ck was the firm one.. he explained to Alpha that he could not possibly buy something everytime he goes out.. n he asked the boy to apologise to me for bullying me.. haha.. but guess what.. in the end.. i still bought him a train.. it was a red one called James.. haha.. no idea what it was anyway.. the only thing i know is it costs me S$24.90.. argh.. so expensive.. just for a TRAIN.. argh..

went over to my uncle's house for dinner.. it was fabulous.. his gf cooked tom yum soup.. fish.. vegetables.. n other stuff.. oh ya.. the gf is from Thailand.. so we are all eating their LOCAL food.. wow.. felt super good.. as though i am back in Bangkok again.. haha.. watched the movie 'Fast & Furious' after dinner.. quite good.. the drift was so chio.. wow.. the close-up was fantastic.. haha.. enjoyed it tremendously.. headed home after a long day.. babysitting wasnt as easier as i had imagined.. although i had 10 children to myself every day.. but taking care of one 24/7 is no kid man.. really.. i swear.. i salute all single mums.. cheers..

decided to add gwendolyn's photo here.. haha.. because just took a candid shot of her dancing in class.. its was so CUTE.. hehe..

Gwendolyn dancing happily in class.. cheers.. =)

Gwendolyn posing for the camera after the dance.. cheese!

right.. gotta go.. have a good week to all.. cheers.. =)

[ rOb-b-HooD ]

sunday morning.. i woke up ard 9 plus 10.. n i fell asleep at ard 5.. argh.. n i didnt really get a good sleep.. most of the time.. i was just drifting in 'space'.. i was dreaming about what i was thinking about before i fell asleep.. in the end.. i got a couple of different segments of werid dreams.. one was about the convsersation during supper that i took with ck, marcus and bangli.. the other was about work.. and the other one was abt family.. haha.. n the best part is i would wake up automatically after each segment.. as though having a half time.. then continue to think abt other stuff.. then fell asleep n dream about it.. i think that is what the chinese saying goes 'ri you suo si.. ye you suo meng'.. haha..


went out with ck, marcus and bangli to watch a midnight movie 'Rob-B-Hood' starring Jackie Chan, Louis Koo, Charlene Choi, Gao Yuan Yuan, Cherrie Ying, Michael Hui, Theresa Carpio and Yuen Biao.. a hilarious show that got the audience choked on their laughters.. n i was one of them.. i particularly like the part when Jackie was hiding the baby under his clothes to prevent the lady landlord from seeing the boy.. and the baby sucked his NIPPLE.. wow.. laugh until i peng.. his expression was super comical (though he seemed to be in lots of pain).. haha.. at the end of the show.. when they showed the NG.. i realised that they actually applied honey on Jackie's nipple.. so that the baby will suck it.. haha.. quite smart.. and it looked almost real.. as though the baby was hungry as portrayed in the movie.. this movie also starred a lot of stars.. the list included nicholas tse, shawn yue, and others.. that is the two distinctive ones that i could rem clearly.. because they acted as GAYS.. haha.. recommended this movie for a relaxing time.. laugh it off and enjoy urself.. maybe 4 stars out of the five.. (BECAUSE THE BABY IS SO CUTE.. that explained the 4 stars.. all goes to the baby.. the expression that the director managed to capture is priceless.. watch it and u will know..) hee..

Look at the BABY!

before we went for the show.. we were early.. by half an hour if not more earlier.. and we know that GV doesnt start on time.. they love to show us INTERESTING advertisement that we are so captivated everytime.. as if.. haha.. the guys decided to go to the arcade.. marcus went to play on this Japanese dectective game.. it required the whole body movement of the player.. as the sensor can detect if you are douching from the enemy.. if not u might be 'considered' shot.. wow.. i thought it was rather thrilling.. i think it is the first time i came across such technology.. shall i say the arcade doesnt get to earn my money.. haha.. ck n i went ard looking for other video games to play.. he finally settled down for this fighting game.. cant rem what was all abt.. just rem he fought hard all the way.. i must really compliment that fellow man.. that was the first time i witnessed someone using S$0.50 to finish the entire game.. i must say he is really good.. i love the way he handled the buttons and the joystick.. looked kinda pro.. haha.. really.. to that extent i took some pictures while that fellow was so engrossed in his game.. grins..

ck was totally engrossed in his game.. =)

went over to the old time favourite bukit timah road for supper.. took my fav bee hoon goreng (thai style).. but shared with ck.. because i wasnt really hungry.. he was the one.. haha.. started chatting as usual... n dunno how the topic could link to the guys' favourite again.. POLITICS.. haha.. i thought we were talking abt the haze and the PSI index.. haha.. it hit as high as 150 last night.. it was so bad.. the entire singapore looked so bloody eerie.. with the haze camouflaging most of the construction.. cant even see that far.. maybe just the headlights of the vehicles driving a few km in front of you.. but definitely not the car.. sickening..

glad that the PSI index was only ard 30 this morning.. just checked it via the NEA website.. not that bad today.. planned to bring alpha out in the afternoon.. he is my 4th uncle's girlfriend's son.. complicated.. not at all.. i dun think so la.. but no one ard me seems to understand the relationship.. haha.. promised him to bring him out shopping last sunday.. n i didnt managed to mk it in the end.. so this weekend is a made up for him.. hee.. must keep promises to children.. they will rem.. i know it because i had to 10 children to myself everyday.. haha..

right.. gotta go n get ready.. my daddy had been asking me to eat my breakfast for the past hour to no avail.. i better go n pacify him.. haha.. tk care all.. have a good n CLEAR sunday.. cheers.. =)

sat night.. was hesistating if i shd go out.. because the PSI index hit 130 at 10 this morning.. and looking out my windows.. everything seems so hazy.. this no. apparently belongs to the unhealthy range.. n breathing too much of the haze GIVES me a headache.. the headache had persisted for a few days.. n i had been popping panadols to stop it.. but apparently to no avail.. sickening..
