Get Wanted!


Once again, 2 shows in one weekend. *Looks at smothering hole in wallet* But it was worth it! 2 great shows, 1 is pure slapstick comedy, other is full of adrenalin and action!

Both shows are quite similar actually. Male lead is a cannot-make-it, bully-target, low-life guys. The gals on the other hand, are smart, clever and so so gorgeous. Va-va-voom~ Both shows showcase some very nifty gadgets, especially the one Angelina Jolie used in the supermarket. Think SAF is kinda using it now but not as skillful as her..

Unfortunately, i watched both shows during the late night so my viewing experience was really at the max. At times I was struggling to keep to the story / laugh at the jokes.

Brain: Hey, it's funny! Laugh!

Body: Can't... Too shag already...

But do catch these shows before they're gone!

On Sunday, I went to the Science Centre (not the Omnimax or Snow City) with Princess. She happened to have 3 tickets with her and her bro and sis weren't interested. She asked me at like 2pm and we were there at 4. Hah~

It's been a while since I went to the Science Centre itself. And it was nice for Princess to show me around. She worked there before at the shop. So cool right?

Dinosaurs were the main exhibit and we spent some time taking photos of them. LOL~

Look Ma! No Body!

*ROAR*

Shall we eat her?

Me and Princess~

We went to a water exhibit which was quite interesting and had dinner at the Mac there as well. Had a nice chat over dinner as well. =)
But anyway, thanks to Princess for the tickets! Wish every weekend was like that~

Hokkaido, here I come!

Woo-Hoo! It's official! I won 3rd prize in a lucky draw from Leisure Park Kallang and it's a trip for 2 to Hokkaido, Japan!

Happy: never won anything in lucky draw before!

Sad: Troubled over who to bring along for the trip.... Haiz....

On to the topic of Japan, met Ash for dinner yesterday evening and I brought her to eat my no. 3 ramen place in Singapore! Baikohken (梅光軒)!

Char-Siew don! with Mayo! Mmmm.. Scrumptious!


Got this donkey for Ash to put in her car. Called it weiquan (my chinese name...)

Night cycling!

It's been a while since I went to East Coast Park to cycle and I just came back from a 20km night cycling activity organised by my bank's Recreation Club!

The 35 of us broke up into 2 groups and I started off in the 1st. We travelled via Siglap Park connector all the way to Bedok Reservoir Park, had a short break, went on to Bedok Food Centre for supper but the famous Cheng Tng stall was closed! -_-

Then headed back to ECP via Bedok Park connector. Even passed by Bedok Camp~ All in all, we took about 4 hours (including stops and rests) The only thing that bothered me was that we had to get off our bikes quite often to push along the overhead bridge and had to carry the bikes for some of the stairs as well. In fact, the only thing that's hurting right now are not my feet and butt (from the sitting) but my arms instead! Hah~

The whole activity went on smoothly with no accidents! And I also got to know a few more people in the bank, those I worked with b4 (but never met them) and other new colleagues as well.

Kudos to the organisers, Terra Outdoors for having humorous and fun instructors to guide us along the way. And to the Rec Club as well, for organising and looking forward to the next activity! Cheers!




My trusty bike for the next 4 hours...

The Happening Panda!



That's what you get when you cross Kungfu Panda and The Happening!
Caught both shows over the weekend and there's a great constrast in both movies. Kungfu Panda was great, entertaining and funny! The Happening, on the other hadn, i think M Night Shyamalan has lost the plot....
In summary, Kungfu Panda's about a panda who dares to dream and fulfills it, fights off a powerful foe and saves the village in swashbuckling panda fashion!
The Happening's about a biology teacher (an emotionless Mark Wahlberg) trying to escape from the wrath of plants! *gasp* Plants can release some toxins to make humans commit suicide. Quite a dark plot but it was kinda interesting to see how people kill themselves. Not that I revel in the blood and gore though...
Panda's worth watching at the movies with young or old, and the Happening's a total waste of time. If you really want to catch it, get the DVD (or VCD) then....
Cheers~
