Last week, I went to an IT Fair located at Suntec City Convention Hall to get a new printer before stopping at a Japanese restaurant for some fried Japanese food.


鰻オムライス (Unagi Fried Omu-rice)


And... thanks to 大姐 for the free tix, the four of us got to watch..


Slumdog Millionaire!

This movie is about a slumdog who was arrested under the suspicion of cheating in a 'Who wants to be a Millionaire?' game. The story slowly unfolds after he reveals how he actually knew almost all the answers in the game.

Overall, I think that this film is definitely worth watching even though it feels like there was too much of a coincidence. Not forgetting the anti-climax ending scene with the typical bollywood dance.



TWILIGHT

Your everyday modern vampire storyline. Apparently in this story, there are some descendants of vampires living in the wettest place in the continental US.
And one of them happen to fall in love with an ordinary girl...

I have to say this movie was pretty entertaining for me however I'm quite surprised that the vampires didn't have any fangs at ALL!
(Though you have to admit that the lead actor does really have the features for a modern vampire)

YESH!!

My exams are finally over and now I have no excuses for not updating my blog. =P


The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

This is a mind-twisting story about a man who 'ages backwards'. A newborn baby who looks just like a dying old man, with bad hearing and poor eyesight grew up in an elderly home where the old folks are waiting for their death to come while he alone grows... younger.

The beginning of the movie was quite confusing in a sense that you may even ponder if you are in the right theatre. Even a lady (stranger) who was sitting beside me asked me if we were watching 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'. lolol.

Overall, it's a great movie for people who want to see something not scary but goes against the laws of nature.


After the movie, I went to get a new mouse for my desktop. (SomeONE, I'm not pointing fingers, killed my previous one during CNY)


Egg mouse!

Happened to see this unique mouse hanging around, but I didn't get it because it'd have been too distracting, sitting there on my table.


Anyways 2 weeks before, I was celebrating my grandmother's birthday at some fancy restaurant.
And of course, the food served were pretty good. (maybe because I'm learning to appreciate food more)

Do you happen to know what this is?

Guess the filling inside!

The filling inside is ...
a) meat!
b) chocolate!
c) coca-cola!
d) empty.. duh!

And the answer is ... 'c'!!! for Chocolate! ^^
For those that didn't get it, the answer is {b} =P

Phoenix-fanboy-who-appears-out-of-nowhere: TAKE THAT!


Yummy! Fried Chocolate Icecream.

Guess who didn't turn up that day?

Hello everyone, I'm back to feed my blog again!

I've been too busy lately (with all the rushing of projects + presentation) but I'm glad it's finally over.

There's only 3 exam papers left to sit for so I don't have a problem with relaxing a bit.


The mall looks so much more classy after the renovation.

It has been quite some time since I've been to the Causeway Point.
I went there to catch a Hong Kong film with my group members after our presentation.

All's Well End's Well 2009

I feel that the direction of the plot is pretty predictable, excluding all the random moments where you'll start laughing uncontrollably(well, at least for me).

They have this unique expression for "falling-in-love" which I feel, have been overused in the movie.

The expression consist of only 3 steps: first start by tipping your toes then turn your eyes white and start dancing like a clown.
It was hilarious at first but towards the end... *shakes head*

Overall, I think my $6 for laughter is worthed it. (student price is ♥)



Back to RO, offline & online

Yep, I'm back to casual gaming.
I'll try not to go obsessive over gaming ever again.

It has been quite some time since I've fed something to my blog because I have been quite busy with my school assignments, projects and upcoming tests *sad_face*

I'm quite sure almost everyone around me is busy as well.. but cheer up people, Chinese New Year is coming soon!!! *happy_face*

Regarding new year resolutions, I don't think I'll be making any for this year since I don't really achieve them.. LOL!

Anyway, I've just completed my one of my assignments (except 1 minor bug) and have only 928349832498324932 more to go!

16 DEC, Tuesday

What? KTV session.
Where? Chinatown.
Why? Place is fully booked.
How? Because we didn't book. :(
So? MUST book before going next time.

We didn't want it to become a wasted trip so we went to catch a movie down at Vivocity.


BOLT, the movie

It's a story about this genetically modified cute little super puppy that can break walls, melt locks, super-bark, etc. A good plot with many hilarious moments, quite expected from Walt Disney.

ALS Rating: 8.0/10


17 DEC, Wednesday

I had some briefing thingy in the morning but I woke up an hour late. By the time I reached there the briefing was already over.

Again, I didn't want to make it another wasted trip so I went to bugis with a friend, MH to get something.


A 'river' along Bugis


TaDa! My 320GB HDD!

With the help of MH, I finally bought one at market price.
Then he had to get a thumbdrive because he had just misplaced his previous one, not too long ago.


Famous char siew rice.

That's about all for now..

Recently, I've been late for my classes for a few times x_x
I can only push the blame to the transport system which is in the 'holiday mood'.
I'm not really confident if I can score well in 2 of my modules this semester but I'll still try my best.

Anyways Ed has finally returned from his overseas trip and guess what he got for me?


A chocolate bar that has taken a flight from Beijing

I was a little worried at first because of the melamine incident that happened not-so-long ago.
But I've checked and confirmed with him that it's made in belgium, so it's safe.

Thanks again ^^

Oh before I forget.. here's a shoutout to vin and kc: ARE U GUYS HAVING FUN TRAINING???

Labels: life

The first hectic week of school is already over.

I've already purchased most of my notes.
(except DNC's which is currently out of stock)

I had dinner over at LJS over the weekends and tried their "new" mango-fish wrap set.
Well it's not really new but I heard it doesn't appear on the menu half the time.


There's a slight mango taste on the fish so it tasted kind of weird at first.
But overall it's pretty good, but I probably wouldn't go for it again.

Speaking of food.. I was pretty much caught up in this "wormy" situation today.

For the safety of my blog's readers, I suggest to not continue reading the rest of the post if you have Scoleciphobia.



A possibly spoilt lollipop?
Don't ask me why but this lollipop looks sooo suspicious.
It might be bacteria infection or whatnot but I think it's seriously damn gross.
I will be staying away from cream/milk lollipops for quite a while.


Anyway I ordered a plate of chicken rice in one of my school's canteen earlier this afternoon.

Due to my sharp eyesight and quick senses, I tossed this tiny worm, which was spotted on the plate, aside.

If you wanted to know what initially was going to happen to the "should-be-already-dead-before-i-found-out" worm.. we actually wanted to bury it in the chilli sauce. lol. But I decided not to.

The incident kinda blew my appetite off for lunch, so I didn't finish it.



Chicken burger from you-know-where
Of course hunger still will strike so I had to settle on a burger instead.

Labels: food, life, out-of-ordinary

It's the... unpleasant burger that everyone has been talking about!

After trying it this morning, I think that the burger's not that bad afterall.
The nasty feeling only comes at the last few bites.

You should be fine as long as you can tolerate mild wasabi-ness otherwise dont try it.
Don't say I didn't warn you!

I didn't get to try the wasabi fries because they didn't have fries in the morning but oh well.

Don't worry, I'm not doing free advertisement for them and neither am I getting paid for posting about this. I just felt like blogging about it.

The second semester has just begun, my new timetable is pretty slick except for fridays.

Also I'll have to start buying notes soon but the school bookshop is always packed ><
