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..

me..myself..I am still young!

another birthday passes..the funny thing about birthday greetings is that, the people you least expect to wish you, do and those that you dearly want to hear from somehow don't even leave a word..is it really how we have become? i know i've been guilty of it myself..

anyway i would like to thank personally those who have made my day extra special..in order of appearance, my aunt lilian (who wished me one day in advance!), karen and kenneth (who somehow managed sms within a minute of each other and a minute before 25th i might add!), yaling (the official FIRST birthday greeter!) -hugs- what else do you expect from your good bud eh? heh.., jasmin (my darling-est nuer), celia (a good friend since poly), wong (anyone needs insurance should go to him..getting older but golder!), shiqin (aka angel..of "hard knocks" i might add!), meilay (who never ceases to surprise!), raymond (my ever reliable mate!), jessica (my darling-est little sis..thanks for the great lunch, though i paid for myself! =P her company is always enjoyable..), rebecca (another nuer..though we didn't talk much, it was nice studying together =)), jingxian (second year running eh? let's see how long more your memory can last you! hehe..) and gabriel (my best football mate!)..others fitted in between with cards as well so thanks also to my parents, my brother and "brother" (alex!), my aunt edna (who despite staying in london never fails to remember my birthday! cheers!) and karen (she must get more mention than others else i'll get my neck wringed!)..thanks goes also to my colleagues may and chunchyi (though he has the worst of tastes!), my bro (who always seem not to care when he really does) as well as karen (again!) for the presents!

to those who forgot..it's no problem..i'll most probably conveniently forget yours next year as well! =P

so quater of a century (not a decade, ms ling!) passed..how do i feel? take a look at the photos below and maybe you'll get the picture..





quite obviously still needing to grow up a little bit more! =P

cheers!

remember the times..an open birthday card for my superpunkywunky nuer jasmin

let me begin by once again (for the very last time) say HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL! -hugs- time flies so fast and you're already 19! -gasp- 2 more years and you're going to be 21 like ms ling! for those who are not familiar with our little group..ms ling isn't REALLY ms ling..her surname is actually lee! lee what? you go figure! -winks- i'm really sorry for forgetting to get you a birthday card..have you been opening your mailbox day after day after day expecting it to come? if you have, i'm really really sorry..if you haven't, then it just goes to show that when you don't expect it, it will never happen! =P anyway, since today's your birthday, i thought of taking this opportunity to run through some of the fun times we had throughout our brief but not so brief "relationship"..hope you had as much fun today and here's from me wishing you all the best in everything you do and aspire to do..YOU GO GIRL! -whacks!-
