Animation Nation 2008

GY sent us this sms once about some anime fest going on and asking us to register for a free screening of an animated film yesterday. Venue: Fusionpolis (?!!?!?!!)
We went to Holland V for dinner and I recommended the place that my colleague brought us to for a team dinner. Essential Brews's the name. It's a tea-themed diner with tea-infused foods gracing the menu (Earl Grey Ribeye Steak, anyone?) We kinda enjoyed the food there except for GY who was not really satisfied with his Matcha Catch (Dory with Green Tea). Pics of our main courses below. (GY's one wasn't worth taking... LOL)

My Blackened Salmon (Grilled Salmon with Mexican spices and Herb Butter)

Law's Earl Grey Ribeye Steak (Looks and tastes good!)

We caught a cab and headed down to Fusionpolis. Looks pretty futuristic and excellent breath-taking architecture. Pity we were in a rush and I din get to take many photos of the exterior, probably go there again next time. Show started a bit late past 7 and the theatre was really freezing....Brrr....

It's a animated film (not anime) based on a new game from Electronic Arts called Dead Space and it's about the massacre of a crew on a ship that's transporting some mysterious artifact to Earth. Apparently the artifact's attracting the aliens and people can go hysterical because of the artifact... Wasn't really fantastic but it's free, so who's complaining?

After that, we had our cuppa coffee at Starbucks @ Fusionpolis and decided to go to Pitstop where we played till the wee hours of the morning~ Some random photos I took below
