Saturday... (Imported From Xanga)

Oh dear... The fact tt my brain is rotting can no longer be denied... The truth is simply so glaring!!! Just look @ my previous entry and you'll notice all the grammatical and spelling errors flooding the entry... Ugh... Everytime I read tt entry and spot an error, I cringed @ the mistake tt's there... I could've changed it, but hey, my purpose of coming online isn't to check on the content of my previous entry (in other words, I'm just plain lazy)...

Enough complaining... Let's go into topic proper... Yesterday I headed to [SunTec] all by myself... If I were to keep track, tt would be my 2nd time window shopping alone... No biggie, really... Opps, I'm beginning to digress... As I was saying, I was window shopping @ [SunTec] and I was surprised @ the changes tt the place has gone through (I have been living under a rock)... [Mache]'s gone, there seems to be a fountain in the shopping centre all of a sudden and more shops are popping up...

When I was there, I visited the [My. Playground] @ the 3rd floor... From the publicity by [Tennage], it seems like a cool place for teenages to hang out as seems to be lots of stuff available... Do note the keyword 'seems' as when I arrived @ tt place, most shops are still vacant and there wasn't much ppl patronizing the shops... I guess it's still @ it's infanct stage and given time, it'll get more attention... After all, it's in [SunTec], unlike [Dohby Xchange], which is placed just above the MRT stn... After all, if I were to head to [PS], I would simply take the underground link from the MRT stn to the shopping centre, rather than head out into the open and cross the road... The latter, you see, would result in me walking pass [Dohby Xchange]... All in all, my point is, location's important and this is totally an understatment...

Back to [My. Playground]... The shops there are really funky... Girls, you'll be spoilt for choice... However, this does not mean tt the guys are left out... There's a couple of shops for the guys as well and I've come to the conclusion tt the only thing tt's of variety for guys are our tops... Whatever shop I look into, there're a hugh selection of tops for guys and only those few bottoms (pants, jeans, cargo pants, berms) to choose from and there aren't much variety in the designs either... Oh, and there's also a shop for [Loilita] fans.. Maybe [MJ] might like it...

Apart from clothes and accessories, there's also food!!! There's a cafe with manga, so you can actually enjoy some nice beverages and read mangas @ the same time... I didn't get a good look @ the selection of comics they have, but I did get a glimpse of [Celestial Zone II] and [Fruit Basket]... LOL... If I were to go there again, I'll be sure to try tt cafe out...

In addition, beside tt cafe, there's a waffles shop... It's really cosy with all those small chairs and tables (though it isn't cosy for me as I have long legs... -_-"') and music (I don't know much abt generes, so all I can say is, it's not [Linkin Park] kinda music)... The waffles are yummy as you can order waffles with spread in them as well as add on ice-cream... I ordered a combo of waffles and a drink, plus a scoop of ice-cream for $8.50... I don't know abt you ppl, but I do find it's okay... After all, it's under $10 right??? LOL!!! However, I must return back there with friends as I wanna try their waffles fondue... For $14.90, you'll be waffles, 5 scoop of ice-creams, fruits, marshmellows, a cup of drink and duh, the pot of hot chocolate... I can't say for sure whether it's worth it or not, but it's worth a try anyway... Heke... ^_^

Gee, enough of the advertising... I spent the whole day walking and I've finally bought [Quan]'s and [JY]'s b-day gift... Disclaimer!!! I'm not very good @ this kinda thing, so I just hope tt they'll like what I'm planning to give them... Don't bother asking me what I've gotten for them... I'm not tt dumb to reveal it here and spoil the surprise, though [YH] already knows abt it as I did consult her 1st before I bought the gifts...

The other thing I bought was [The Covenant] DVD... It was a bad invenstment as the movie was falls short of my expectation by like a hugh gap... Maybe I've watched too much [Charmed] and [Supernatural]... There wasn't much action and the other [Sons Of Ispwich] seems to play no role in the movie or whatsoever, expect for the roles of extras maybe... I was expecting the 4 sons to band together to defeat the bad guy tt's out to steal their powers, and more display of powers apart from just plain telekenesis...

Maybe my tough luck on locating the disc was a sign tt my decision to invest in this movie was a bad one... I couldn't find the disc @ whatever video store tt I step foot in @ [SunTec] and [Marina Square]... It's like the disc is eluding me or something like tt... Hmmm... Now tt I'm @ this topic, I might as well put in a few complains abt [HMV] @ [CityLink]... The ppl there are like so bad in their service... I mean, since you're already @ the database, why can't you just check if there's stock, instead of pointing me to the shelves where all the DVDs are kept and to call me to look under 'C'... HELLO!!! I'm not an idiot you know... I approached you because I've searched and couldn't find the disc... What's worse, I decided to approach another salesperson to check and she did the same thing... Point me back to the shelves... By then I was so lacking in patience tt I simply shot back @ her tt I couldn't find it... She attempted to prove me wrong but tt was futile... Come on, I've searched tt rack like 4 times already... The end result??? Tt disc was out of stock after tt salesperson finally checked the database... Humph... It was a total waste of time and manpower... If only the 1st salesperson had told me tt it was out of stock, I wouldn't have to bother anyone else... BAD SERVICE!!!

After [The Reaping] and now [The Covenant], I think I've made up my mind... I'm not going to buy [Ghost Rider]... I'm going to borrow it from [XP] to save myself from making yet another bad choice of investment...

Nostalgia... (Imported From Xanga)

2 days ago, there's the TV premiere of [Constantine] and I watched it... It sounds odd for me to watch this movie on TV as I've watched this movie when it's screening in the cinemas... After all, this movie has a supernatural theme and I'm a sucker when it comes to such themes... In case anyone didn't know, I happen to have the DVD of tt movie as well (point proven)...

The main explanation as to why I'm watching this movie for the 4th time is simply... As I watch the movie, it brings back all those memories of the time I went to watch this movie with [The Gang]... It was a late night movie and I still remember vividly tt [Dar] and I were gushing abt how marvelous the movie was even as we hanged around [Mac] for a while before calling it a day for the outing... LOL... I still can't imagine tt the rest of the ppl found the movie scary... Puh-leaze... It's just some demons...

That wasn't all, obviously... I still remember tt it was around the [Chinese New Year] tt I saw this movie as I remember tt while doing our house visiting, [Dar] and I were narrating the awesome movie to [XP] @ [Quan]'s and [XP] initially regretted not watching the movie with us... She regretted watching it later though as she felt tt our narration was by far better than tt of the movie itself... Can you imagine tt?!

Haiz... I should move on... After all, in life, there sure will be more interesting events worth remembering... Don't get me wrong... This doesn't mean tt I'll forget all those beautiful moments tt I've had with everyone in the past... However, I just can't help having this sense of nostalgia... Perhaps this is what being human means... Haha...

Enough abt [Constantine]... Yesterday I was on [Off] and as I was @ [Lot 1] having my lunch, I decided to go purchase a DVD on a movie tt I wanted to catch in the cinema but didn't get a chance to - [The Reaping]... I didn't want to catch it alone as it has horror on it and I don't wanna be the only one screaming in the cinema, mind you... The movie also has a [M18] rating due to some sexual content... However, after watching the movie, I feel tt the rating is over-rated... I mean, [Underworld: Evolution]'s slapped with a [NC 16] for it's sexual scenes which are filmed under good lighting condition, so I don't understand why [The Reaping]'s given [M18] when the sex scenes are like so dimmed tt you almost can't see a thing??? Okay, maybe it's because of the contrast on my LCD screen... I watched it on PC... Despite tt, even [XP] didn't realise tt there's any sex scene involved, so maybe the contrast on my LCD is reason enough...

Okay, enough abt the rating... Abt the movie... For the 1st time, I fail to understand the meaning of such movie... Perhaps I wasn't paying much attention to; or tt most scenes are too dimmed on my LCD screen tt I couldn't make out what's happening in the movie... I will watch it again when I have the time to get a better picture of the movie... This time, I shall watch it on my TV screen... Who knows??? Maybe I might uncover meaning of the movie as well as to why it deserves a [M18] rating... LOL... Of course, there's always this option of watching the movie with [The Gang]...

Oh well... I think I shall stop here for this entry... You will be hearing from me the next time abt [The Covenant] as well as [Ghost Rider]... I plan to purchase both DVDs... Pity I missed the screening on the big screen... *Sigh*

Ratatouille... (Imported From Xanga)

The last time I actually asked someone out for a movie, it was with [Lynn] and we watched [Rush Hour 3]... This time, I asked [YH]. [Bec] and [SL] for this movie... As to why I choose to watch a movie @ this time of the year, it's because I managed to get my hands on 2 free [Golden Village] tickets which expires by the end of this mth... Hence I decided to treat both [YH] and [Bec]... However, it's not because tt I've obtained this free tickets tt gave me the idea of treating the 2 of them... I've already decided to give a treat to [YH] even before I knew of this fabulous bargain... Of course, the moment my dad gave me those 2 tickets, it's only natural for me to decide tt I wanna treat [Bec]...

The movie... Let's talk abt the movie 1st... The movie's inspiring... It shows tt no matter what the odds are, if you're determined, you'll eventually achieve your goal... Okay, so all family movies portrays tt morale and more - courage, friendship, loyalty, etc... No matter what, the humour in this movie's also good... I don't know abt you ppl, but I'm the kind tt doesn't goes for those [Mr. Bean] humour... Doing dumb things doesn't tickle my funny bones... I go for the witty humour...

LOL... Now it's time to talk abt [SL]... He's very punctual today... Actually arriving early... It's kinda shocking for me as I'm known for my crazy habit of being insanely early... Of course, today I actually arrive @ [Plaza Singapura] on the dot, if not just a mere 5 mins late max... I was enjoying my lunch @ [Pizza Hut] way too much tt I almost lost track of the time... >_<

It's good to finally meet up with an old friend after such a long time even though we didn't talk much abt anything in particular... It's really funny... I feel like we should catch up and when we actually meet, there isn't any natural flow of conversations... Just those small talk on everyday topic... Gee, I wonder if this my way of 'catching up' with friends... *Sigh* It's a pity anyway as he left shortly after the movie else I think more catching up could be done during dinner and on the trip home... Nah, I don't think tt's possible after all as I'll more or less squabble with [YH]... -_-"'

O-k-a-y... Guess I shall end here for this entry... Shall now watch some animes before the next day begins and I can lay my hands on those delicious looking donuts tt I've bought from [Missy Donuts]... LOL!!!

Lazy Sunday... (Imported From Xanga)

It's [Sunday] and there's something depressing abt it... Tt's because the thought of going to work tml after 4 days of break totally destroys whatever good mood I have... Like I've said before, I'm still in the studying mood and I've yet to accept the fact tt long holidays are a think of the past...

Hence my crappiness in the morning when I'm told to leave house for breakfast... Tt mood didn't improve much as I took bus no. 67 to [Bt. Timah], despite the fact tt I'm gonna eat the pratas there again and tt I saw some really nice-looking [Nee Ann Poly] guys... I reckon it's because my parents are around and I couldn't get any chance to gawk @ them... Nice look and body... Mmm... >_<

However, I think the saying tt 'A hungry man is an angry man' is true for my mood did get slightly better once I'm eating those delicious pratas with my beloved [Milo Dinosaur]... LOL... I really like the pratas there as they have all kinda sweet pratas... *Grins* This time, I ate the [Strawberry Prata], [Pineapple & Mozerella Prata] and [Ice-cream Prata]... LOL... I'm really a sucker for sweet and weird (I prefer the term 'unique' though) stuff... =P

*Sigh* The end of this day is drawing nearer by the second and I don't have a choice but to accept the inevitable... Yet before I actually end this day, I managed to sign up for [Audition] and I'm trying this game for a change of gaming environment... @ least I'm not out there in the cyber world killing monsters using magic or brute force... For once, I'm playing and training my reflexes... LOL... Seems like after rotting for 9 mths, brains getting slow as I couldn't do any songs tt's faster than 95 bpm in the game... I totally couldn't process those keys displayed in front of me in time and I have the tendency to press the 'left directional arrow' whenever the 'right' arrow flashes or vise versa... Gee, is the brain so badly decomposed tt I couldn't differentiate a 'left' from a 'right'??? o_O

Thursday... (Imported From Xanga)

Let's face it... Anyone observant enough will wonder why am I blogging @ 1430 hrs on a working day and I confess... I'm pulling the AWOL stint, like tt CPL who was caught a couple of weeks ago @ [Cathy Cinelesiure]... Similar, but not congruent as I'm not armed or anyhting and I'm seeking refuge @ my house... >_<

Now, anyone with a brain will realise it like 30 secs ago tt I'm pulling your leg... I mean, if I'm running away or attempting a disappearance act, do you think I'll be tt retarded to reveal my whereabouts to you, much less be able to blog as I don't own a lappy or anything... I'm cleating my Off, you dimwits... =P

So it's wonderful tt I'm able to get a day off from work and all as work is stressful... Hey, doing admin work isn't totally stress-free okay... You'll find out for yourself when you're out there working, so let's not digress...

I left home @ abt 1030 hrs and I headed to [PJC]... There're better place to go, but I just have to run an errant there as I'm delivering some pics tt I've burnt to [Ms. Lee] as what I've promised like 3 mths ago... Hey [XP], seems like you're the leader of the biggest nation and I'm the vice-president... Anyway, the moment I arrived @ the sch, I feel like I'm appearing @ the wrong timing... I mean, who visit the sch @ this time of the yeat??? It's not like today's a special occasion or anything... Worse, the [J2]s are all having their [PreLims] so I'm more or less surrounded by students doing their last min mugging... Those must be the [Econs] students as the paper's in 1400 hrs today... Surprisingly, I don't see [Dar] around... Could he be in the [Library]??? Who knows...

Anyway, I arrived @ the school @ abt [1100 hrs] and I couldn't find [Ms. Lee]... Thank goodness for [Mr. Kwok] in pointing me to the [General Office] to enquire abt the teacher's timetable... LOL... I didn't know such a thing existed @ all... Turns out tt [Ms. Lee]'s having lessons from 1000 hrs to 1230 hrs in the same classroom, with a short break @ 1130 hrs as the class changes... Lucky moi for I only have to wait for a mere 30 mins...

[Ms. Lee] was surprised tt I appeared in sch today, which is to be expected as like I've said, today's not a special day or anything... However, we couldn't chat for long as she has lessons so with my job accomplished, it's time for me to head over to [Bukit Timah] for my lunch... I don't find it strange to travel to [Bt. Timah] for lunch... Some ppl travel from one end to the other end of this tiny red dot in search for some good food, so what I'm doing here isn't such a big deal...

What did I eat??? I ate pratas... Not those plain pratas, but [Mozerella Cheese Prata], [Banna Prata] and [Blueberry Prata] to be exact... And a cup of [Milo Dinosaur]... Yes!!! I ate 3 pratas... But it's really nice, esp the [Mozerella Cheese Prata]... You can really tastet he cheese as you bite into the prata... Totally yummy!!!

Oh well, once I'm done with my lunch, here I am, back in my comfy house, blogging... You didn't really expect me to be out shopping, do you??? I don't have tt much patience and I'd rather be playing games, watching animes or looking @ good-looking guys... >_<

P.S: I've suddenly have to urge to play [GunBound] again... Don't ask me why...

Giving Up An Outing... (Imported From Xanga)

I was supposed to head over to [SunTec] today to attend the [Asian Games Convention 2007]... By using the word 'supposed', it means to say tt I initially wanted to go, but changed my mind at the last min... Why the sudden change of heart??? For starters, the convention is to show-case all those new games tt will be out in the future on the various gaming consoles... Tt itself is the problem as I don't have any new gaming console... The PC is not counted in my case as let's face it... No matter how I longed to play non-stop, my parents are always around to spoil the atmosphere... And the mood will be much worse if I'm playing those games tt requires you to save before quitting or to use a save pt to save... Imagine this... You're in the middle of some scenes in the games where the storyline is unfolding (think [FF]), you can't save, and your parents demand tt you rest your eyes or to stop playing as it's too late in the game... You have no choice but to quit w/o saving, resulting in you having to replay those scenes again for the second time before you can continue the game... The mood will totally be destroyed...

Secondly, there's no point in seeing what cool games will be out as I can't have them and it's dumb to only try out the game for awhile, esp those RPGs... It's totally idiotic as you'll never know the storyline and how the character develops... Think playing [FF8] for the 1st 10 mins only... You'll never understand the game, much less appreciate the it as you'll never know the true plot behind the game... Tt said, the only demos worth trying out are those fighting, racing, sports, shotting games, which for the record, doesn't catch my interest nowadays...

The downside of not going to [SunTec] is tt I can't buy those delicious but expensive donuts from [Donut Factory]... I really wanna eat the blueberry, coffee and cheese donuts again (note: it's 3 different donuts of different flavours, not 1 donut with all 3 of them together)... Oh well, some other time perhaps... Or maybe I should try out [Missy Donut] instead and compare??? *Thoughtful look*

Conventions aside, school's resuming in less than 48 hrs... For those out there having their [Prelims], all the best and good luck (if you need them)!!! For those not studying, apply some leave, take a break... Being a workaholic isn't good... Lastly, for those on attachments, my advice is similar to the previous, except tt you can't take leave or anything... Nevertheless, relax when you have the chance!!! *Grins*

Effects Of NS... (Imported From Xanga)

I think the life as an adult has totally killed my muse... My creative juice is like so totally drained... Nowadays, I can hardly think of anything decent to blog...

Just last week, I bump into [YS] and we were chatting (like obviously)... She told me tt she's still in those holiday mood while her male classmates have become more matured... As they were studiously paying attention to the lectures and doing their tutorials whereas for her, she has been takling with her female friends... Now this got me thinking... Does NS reallyy make a guy mature???

My response to tt is, probably... I guess they being combat fit plays a part to them growing up faster... With the lack of time playing games and being in roles tt requires leadership, responsibility and teamwork, any guy will grow up... Of course, this doesn't mean tt being non-combat fit equates to maturing slower... Hmmm... After all this typing... The general conclusion is... The determining factor is the individual...

The surrounding can stimulate a person's maturity...However, I suspect tt it's my inability to adapt to the environment tt quickly tt prevent me from growing up when it's time to grow... Which is fine with me as I see no point in being mature just to please the eyes of the public... Call me an indvidualist if you want... But the fact is tt I'm an introvert and I like being all by myself to dream of the unrealistic... Anti-social behaviour??? Probably, but fret not... I won't suddenly snap and kill 32 ppl... LOL...

Hmmm... Now tt I'm done blogging for the sake of blogging, I shall take my leave and play some [RO] and/or watch some [Gakuen Heaven]... I love hunks!!!

Good Tips To Staying Fit (Part 3)...

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake???

A: No, not @ all... Wine is made from fruit and brandy is distilled wine... Tt means they take the water out of the fruity bits so you'll get even more of the goodness tt way... Beer is also made out of grain!!! Bottoms up!!!
