Procrastination...

Procrastination means... putting off something you've set to do that you've decided for a long time already..

2 movies to give my 2 cents' worth! Caught The Bourne Ultimatum with A07/08 (uni class) last Sunday and Brave Story with GY and Law today...



1. Bourne Ultimatum

The final of the trilogy about Jason Bourne, a government assassin who's trying to find his lost memories and getting them back at any cost... He's cool, slick and very clever, outwitting everybody in the CIA. Heh~

Liked the part when he lures the chief out of his office and the chief tries to lie to Bourne over the phone that he's in the office. Bourne says "I doubt so. If not you and I would be having this conversation face-to-face right now." Hysteria among the CIA ensues. Classic.

Overall not too bad a movie, some scenes are really draggy... but it does round up the story nicely and there could be a sequel? DN commented that the movie could be watched as a single movie without watching the first 2 Bourne series cos it introduces the first 2 in a nutshell. =)



2. Brave Story

2 thumbs up for the movie! Good decent storyline, not too draggy, sits well with fantasy fans. It's almost like a RPG (role playting game), even has a good guy gone bad. Wow~

It's about this boy, called Wataru, who's facing some troubles at home. Father left the family and Mom landed in hospital. He befriends a nonchalant guy called Mitsuru who unleashes some kind of magic to scare some bullies away for Wataru. Mitsuru asks him to enter a certain doorway to another world where he can change his destiny, i.e. get his broken family back. Ends up meeting new people and embarking on a quest to find 5 different gems to get his wish come true.

The whole show's in Japanese but the transalation's decent enough. Nice graphics and soundtrack add icing on the cake~ It's ending its run soon so better catch it quick at any Cathay cineplexes (cos they're only showing that) before it's too late!

Cheers!

What are ya' good for? Absolutely nothing~ 1, 2, ya'll~

Finally caught Rush Hour 3! Always skeptic about watching sequels.. I would rate this as mildly entertaining for the action and the witty one-liners~ But other than that, the show's pretty much a flop, sad to say.. NO storyline, some elements in the story go missing, abrupt ending, etv, You name it, it's got it!

And my favourite character in the show? George, the French taxi driver! V funny and pokes fun at America in a light-hearted way~

So many other shows to watch as well.. Bourne Ultimatum, Brave Story, etc. Help!

=)

Pictures say it all~

Joined Law, Ys, Lx, HF and James down to Marina Area for graduation photo taking last Sunday and visited Pitstop later~ Let the pictures say it all~

For the record, we threw away the Starbucks Coffee after taking this photo. No we did not litter!

Pictionary drawing by Yisen! Guess a person? Answers below~

This one's by Law, guess a place?

Another one by Law. Guess a person as well?

Answers to weird Pictionary Drawings...

2) Venice

3) President

And I got all correct! Yeah!

Btw, finally got some photos of Sephiroth which I bought earlier and Saber as well from the National Day Sale~

Cya ppl!

Long weekend!

Some of the stuff I did in chronological order~

Wednesday: Met GY for dinner at orchard and played pool with Law after that. My fav. haunt, Pool Junction at Middle Road just revamped their place. They removed 6 of their pool tables and created a cosy lounge / bar, that means fewer tables = longer waiting time for a table. So the 3 of us chilled out at the lounge and Law took this nice photo of my Shirley Temple with a candle behind cos my phone's camera wasn't as good as his~

Finally got our table at about 11pm and played for about 2 hours before heading back home~ Yeah~

Thursday: Mentioned this in my earlier post that I was going to go down to La Tendo to check out its 20% sale and got for myself a cute small version of Saber from Fate/Stay Night. Will try to get a pic of it and upload soon. Then had dinner with Ivan and GY before heading back to Ivan's place. The dogs were happy to see me (i guess...) and one of the older dogs even gave me a small bite to get me to play with him~ Hehe~ Also introduced Ivan to the world of Granado Espada and seems like he's taking it like a fish to water!

Friday: Met up with Agnes for dinner at Fish and Co @ Wheelock Place and got my favourite window seat. There was some kind of National Day Celebration thingy at Fish and Co, there was a balloon sculptor going around making free balloon toys for the customers~ Check out the pics below.

My Baked Salmon with Mushroom Sauce! Oishii!

Patriotic Agnes with her Seafood Platter for 1!

1st free balloon: Teddy bear with Heart. Found this quite nice actually~

2nd free balloon at background: Flower with Stalk and Teddy Bear at the foreground.

The girl who was making the flower was quite skillful and quite cute as well! Haha~

After that, went to Timberland at Taka and bought a pair of walking casual shoes which I had contemplated for a long time.... Having this phobia of shoes ever since I bought 2 pairs of shoes that din really fit nicely. Hope this one works well... The guys (and girl) came to my place for mahjong later and I lost about 6 bucks which was not bad, considering YY and BZ won quite a bit.... Felt a little lucky not to have continued when Law took over my place. Phew~

That's all for now. More updates for the weekend to come when I blog on Sunday I hope~ Off to make my contact lenses, my first step to changing my image! =)

Count on me, Singapore!

Today's National Day! Think the new Floating Platform is going to be quite cool but usually won't be able to get the tickets anyway... Haiz...

A fan of fireworks but too bad everybody ard me has some plans or some sort, so I guess I might be heading out alone later to La Tendo as they have a 20% sale for today only. See if I can grab anything while I'm there~

Anyway, I was practically the only one who was laughing from start to end... Guess the rest of the ppl in the cinema din understand or thought that wasn't funny... lol! Liked the part where Homer and Bart playes Truth or Dare! Keke~ For those who are going to watch the movie, be early so as not to miss the start when the 20th Century Fox part comes up!

Wanna watch Gone Shopping but there isn't anyone to join me.. *sulks* oh well...

Meanwhile enjoy your remainder of your weekend! Peace~
