L

Caught this movie sometime ago last weekend but din blogged about it because I was tired / busy after work~

The decision to watch this show came late on Saturday as I was trying to get replies from GY, Law and Ivan about a couple of hours before the show starts at MARINA SQUARE. Cue panic, madness and 5 minute shower before rushing out of the house to make it almost in time for the show. Just for the sake of the show, I donned on a long white sleeved round neck tee, jeans and a dirty pair of sneakers to have the "L" look! Too bad my hair isn't as long as his~

The story in a nutshell is how he manages to solve a lot of "unsolved" cases and a last big case before he dies when he won Light in the 2nd movie. To fans, who did not watch manga / anime, Light didn't die after L did. It's the other way round. =) It's a spin off so die-hard manga fans please avoid this as it might leave a bitter aftertaste in you after the show. However the ending leaves much to be desired, might have another spin off soon?

Not bad a show to catch, for laughs and the little weird habits of L. But my favourite's still Light Yagami~ Suckers!

Failed JLPT2!

As above. Sucks. Re-taking this year... Period.

My CNY Pics!

CNY ’08

Jay vs Stephen

First of all, a Happy Chinese New Year to all! It's been a great break so far, although I've been sleeping late almost every night.

Had a sumptous steamboat for the reunion dinner on the eve at my maternal aunt's place, then had my favourite "lotus duck" at my paternal aunt's place on the 1st day. That's the one thing that I always liked about visiting on the 1st day.

Then another feast on the 2nd day at the same maternal aunt's place, but this time it's more rowdy cos all the families on my mother's side (except for 1) came visiting! A madhouse with 20+ ppl, adults and children alike!

Anyway, caught 2 "CNY" movies or 贺岁片 over the weekend with Law and gang. Watched Kung Fu Dunk with Ivan as well on the 2nd day. It's not too bad considering the negative review by some friends and in the papers. Some parts made me laugh out loud and Jay's acting has considerably improved since Initial D. Add in cameos by lotsa famous personalities and with some nice fighting scenes + basketball scenes, you've got yourself a decent movie to rake in the money!

Just caught CJ7 with Law and GY a few hours earlier. Wasn't really keen on the movie initially but still caught it in the end just to find out how "good" or "bad" it was... Well, you've got your typical Stephen Chow movie but not as funny as Kungfu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer. If you're expecting more laughs, then you'll be sorely disappointed. Kudos to Xu Jiao, prodigy child actor discovered by Stephen for acting as a schoolboy when she's a girl *gasp* Also, another actress discovered by Stephen is the beautiful Kitty Zhang Yuqi, who plays a nice teacher in the show as well. Here's some pics to get the point across~




Kitty Zhang. Isn't she beautiful~


Xu Jiao with Kitty Zhang. She looks absolutely fabulous in a cheongsam~



In summary, Kung Fu Dunk gets my vote over CJ7 for me~ =)

Dined with 4 ladies this week. =)

It's my luck that I managed to have dinner with 4 different ladies this week and it's considered my honour! =)

Tuesday:

Accompanied a colleague of mine. Amy after work to get her laptop fixed at Sim Lim Square, cos she wanted someone who could give some IT advice and she was afraid she might kena "eaten" by the ppl there. After sending the laptop for repair, we had dinner at some HK cafe at Bugis (can't remember the name for the love of God...) but it's opposite Ma Maison and got some HK celebrity endorsing it... Thanks Amy for the treat!

Wednesday:

Had the long-delayed dinner with Ash at Ma Maison (yes.. bugis junction again..) Suggested there cos she hasn't been there before and I liked the decor and ambience there as well. =) Managed to persuade her to try escargots and seems like she din regret it. heh~ She asked me an interesting question over dinner actually. "What's your plans for V-Dae?" To which I answered "Go to work, work, run home and hide" It's going to be depressing to be walking the streets to see couples hand-in-hand and kids trying to sell balloons and flowers at astronomical prices. Just reminds me of the state I'm in right now. To me, V-Dae's just a day when everything becomes expensive (like ERP and bak kwa). She suggested asking someone out but which sane girl would wanna come out on V-dae with me? *GASP* LOL

Btw, thanks for the treat, Ash!

Thursday:

Met up with Iris, a secondary school friend of mine who I met one day while shopping for a present. She remembered me and gave me a special discount on top of the sale that was on. =) It was her off day so we had dinner at Sakae at northpoint (we both live in yishun) although i'm sceptic of sakae, it was fine except the chawanmushi took too long and our orders got mixed up. =( Tat was my treat for her for giving me the discount. Had starbucks later and I showed her my Taiwan photos on PSP. Promised to show her my Japan photos next time....

Friday:

Met up with a friend of my cousin, Louise for dinner at Kyo-Nichi Ramen at MS which I had been craving for some time~ It's my no. 4 ramen restaurant and the soup never ceases to satisfy my tastebuds. =) After that, she went back to work as she was on standby but she would be joining the rest of the gang (my cousin's frens) after that.

Got a ride from Hanjia to Arab St where they all were. He was at Millenia Walk for Salsa dancing and I'm tempted to try it out now... Cecy and gang (my cousin, Anto, Brandon) were at this Turkish place which looks good and the food there tastes good as well. Going to try there one day! We later settled at the lounge at Hotel InterContinental (bugis junction again) and more frens dropped by later (Huat, Jansen, Leni, Louise) It was nice to catch up with them over drinks and stuff and we went for supper nearby at the bak chor mee stall at Liang Seah St which Jansen "highly recommended"!

So pretty tiring this week, eating out and sleeping late, but with friends around for you, who needs love? ;)

P.S all 4 ladies are taken by the way... Haha!
