Why So Serious?



It's finally here! And I went to watch with my usual kakis (GY, Law, Ivan) at the usual place (PS) last Saturday. The show is a bit long but it was quite entertaining.

The story's dark as Batman examines himself and finds the will to carry on fighting evil as the Dark Knight. The show also introduces another villain into the future story but I shan't spoil it here. Fans will definitely know who Harvey Dent is...

But the one that truly shines here is the Joker... Played by the late Heath Ledger, he brings the character very much into life. If he creeps you out in the show, he's done the job good. Can't wait for the next instalment of the show! The Dark Knight (only show with no "Batman" in the title) gets 4 stars out of 5 from me!

Feeling like a wreck...

Went to see the doctor this morning cos I wasn't able to recover in time... Hoping that there won't be a long queue at the clinic but then again, it's Monday morning.

2 mothers with their entourage of 5 children in total were making hella of noise in there. The mothers were talking really loudly about their children's tuition and stuff like that as if it was at the market and the children were screaming and jumping even though they were supposed to be ill...

3 of the children were particularly spoilt and whiny who went "Mi.... (mother)" whenever they get into a fight or quarrel and were running around, disturbing the other patients. Glares from other patients at the clinic didn't help. And all that the mom could do was to keep on reading her magazine and throw out a few words like "stop playing", "keep quiet" and the children would talk back at her and carry on clamouring...

During my time, I would have received a tight slap or a beating from my parents for behaving like that in public. Children these days...

Finally got to see the doc after 45 mins and i'm still on MC for today and tomorrow.. Feeling aching all over. On and off fever... Dry throat... Restlessness.. Lethargy.. It's almost like a living hell....

Call me a****** one more time...




This post came very late as I caught the movie with GY, Law and Ivan last Sunday. Managed to get tickets real late on Sunday at Marina Square. Had dinner at Kyo-nichi Ramen which was shiok~ It's my number 7 on my list. Hah~ No pictures though, too hungry to take any.


And before the movie, we were wandering around the cinema (waiting for GY) and I chanced upon a figurine shop which I've never entered in before and I got this!

Suspicious look and shocked! look

L Nendroid! Comes with 2 bodies (squatting or standing) and 4 faces! With Leather armchair as well! Sold out at most places I've been to and I'm lucky to have found it~

Movies's not too bad. Average but mildly entertaining. Doesn't actually live up to the hype and the ending was abit crappy. But nonetheless, something decent to catch these days.

Anyway, I've been real sick these past few days and had to stay in the office cos my other colleague was out with stomach flu as well (Hope you're better already!) and the fact that I'm blogging right now at 11:44am is that I'm on medical leave and had a good night's rest last night!

Hopefully I've recovered in time over the weekend and back at work next Monday!

On another note, I had dinner on Tuesday with a new friend of mine whom I've met at the Japanese meetup. Ramen lovers, both of us. We went to Central to tuck into a bowl of Aka-Ramen at Marutama Ramen! My number 3! Not bad as a Ramen fix for me. I have to have ramen at least once a week somewhere, you see... After that we had some Hokkaido Ice cream from Azabu Sabo to round up the dinner. Strange new flavours I sampled were tofu and pumpkin! Tofu tasted... like tofu and pumpkin was amazingly sweet~

Off to rest now and catch you all soon!
