Simply Incredible


I hope i didn't give away anything with such a title..but it's pretty obvious isn't it? Urm..right? Gosh..you ARE really slow today aren't you? =P

Anyway, went to watch The Incredibles with alex and my brother last night (just like the good old times eh?)..As the show at suntec was fully booked, we went over to beach road to catch the show..What a different just one stretch of road makes i must say! Suntec fully booked and there we were, having the whole theatre to choose our three seats from at beach road! Dined at Creation (my friend highly recommends it!) - an italian cafe -, for $13.90, we got a main course, soup, drink and dessert (which was a brownie with an ice-cream on top)..My brother who was at first skeptical about spending so much money at the beginning was totally satisfied as well as full by the end of the meal..So if you guys are into italian cuisine, forget Pasta Fresca, go to Creation at Shaw Towers at beach road! It's in between burger king and the food court.

Back to the show, the incredibles are a family of super heroes who..what's that you say? You know that part already? Oh..yes..right..Well, since you guys pretty much know the storyline already, i'll just say that i thoroughly enjoyed the show..Besides all the usual good versus evil plot, all the characters are thoroughly enjoyable to watch..From mr incredible to his family to his superhero fashion designer friend, edna mode to the nameless old lady who wanted to make an insurance claim! Definitely a show for all ages..and plus, there's no unnecessary distraction of a crappy love storyline like in "Shark Tale"..Overall, i'd give it 4.5 out of 5 for it's superb animation, consistent storyline and it's feelgood factor..Go catch it!

Today morning, my flight had a cohesion day at sentosa..We had an impromptu beach football session, volleyball, captain's ball and kite making..Wah, haven't felt so relaxed in a long while..Plus my team won the volleyball contest which was pretty cool in itself though the competition was crap! =P It was a good workout and the weather was terrific to us..Had a great time viewing all the bikini babes and of course the scenery! A little disappointed at the lack of sun though..but no complains..Can't wait to go back again! Invitations anyone?

W-Blog


After surfing through a few friends' blogs, i realise that nowadays blogs are becoming more and more sophisticated..Why sophisticated? While blogs are (or were) meant to be some sort of online journal or diary, most of them have totally lost their purpose..Gone are the commentaries and the recollection of events that happened in that day or week..In comes all the whiiiiiiiniing! Oh my goodness, is life that bad that nearly every post in a single blog is a complaint? Or do we never know when is enough? And if the whining and complaining is not enough, blogs have suddenly become bomb sites and wish-lists! "i think she's a bitch", "i think he sucks", "i want this..i want that", "I just bought this..I just bought that" and then after that it's back to your regular dosage of "How life has treated me worse than it has treated all of you!" What happened to thoughts, emotions and feelings? Or philosophies or analysis? Or have blogs just become the new age aunt agony-cum-dart board-cum-santa claus? If my blog ever EVER become as insightful as a centerfold advertisement..please please please..give me a slap cuz i probably dozed off and my life wasn't much fun in my dreams..

a rush of blood to the head


i attended this time management class today..at first with skepticism but at the end of the class, i was quite nourished by what i had heard..besides time management, tina macdowell, the lecturer gave us an insight into career-paths and financial investments..because of the class, i'm now quite determined to attempt to plot out a possible career path instead of sitting around and waiting for next year! oh by the way, tina is not a eurasian..on the contrary, she's a chinese married to a canadian and whose english was peppered with grammatical errors! but it was a brilliant class nonetheless!

speaking of the class, i blushed again in front of an audience! argh! what's up with that! i turn bright red too easily..when i bought a g-string for karen (yes i did that!), i blushed when asking the salesgirl about the sizes..when i met a friend outside with the ling, i blushed..then today, when tina posed an interview question, i blushed when the class all stopped and stared! i am not exactly fair but yet people can tell when i turn red and that is not good..is it? must be too much blood in my system, maybe i should start donating some..hmm..
