Zoo + Outings in August! =)

Went to watch PCK with Zhenhui 2 Saturdays ago. Overall I think the main character actually lost the movie to its supporting character acted by Hui Ge.. Recently, I find that Hui Ge can really act... He's getting better in the movies.. LOL... Overall the movie was entertaining and enjoyable. I give it 8 stars out of 10. =)













We had dinner before that at Bugis.... Chicken Rice.... Overall the chicken rice was quite good.... the rice lose a bit to the one at Far East... but the meat is tender and tastier than the one in Far East.



Met up with Shaun and cliche at Suntec City on a weekday... had Astons for dinner.. the meal was good... cheap with a big nice portion of steak... enjoyed the meal.. anyway.. to be fair...



Suntec City is now like an abandoned shopping centre... its totally empty .. shops close at 8 plus..... the carrefour is close to empty..... the whole shopping centre is like ours....



Had Lunch with Tsianhwee was at Jacks Place.. Fire Steak I think... part of a set lunch...

Also had lunch alone at Dian Xiao Er.... Duck Rice... $18... with a drink... LOL... Ate that thanks to a voucher of $10 that was accumulated earlier...






Went to the Zoo 2 Fridays ago.... went there for a walk... thanks to my brother who has a free zoo ticket but doesnt want to go there.... Went alone... Zoo is like 20 mins away from home... nearer than SIM.. LOL...




Anyway, its a good exercise for me, walked like half a day in the zoo.. lol... Wanted to watch the elephant show... since i havent watched it at its new exhibit (opened like few years back).... Anyway, I like animals.... just that i wun wan them in my house... visiting the zoo is much better to see them... =)





The animals were pretty much alive that day... lol... not like those lazy afternoons or mornings when you see all of them asleep... especially the lionesses... all awake and standing next to each other for me to snap.. lol... too bad i was alone... couldnt take a photo with them.... didnt want to ask others to take... tried "zhibai" but failed...

August....

電車で電車でGO！GO！GO！

Found this on youtube... i feel this song is kinda retro but quite nice =)



Went out with Tsian last week... We had duck rice set @ Dian Xiao Er for $12... but kinda regret... cos they have too much sides.. and not much meat... should have ordered a plate of duck... which would probably be about $20 at most... but the meat portion would certainly be a lot more.. We watched Ong Bak after tat....



Dinner was at Cheong Chin Nam.. Al'meen there... frog porridge.. yummy... satisfies my craving... i have this craving like once a few months....



Not forgetting my favourite Astons Meal the day before @ The Cathay.... =) Its only $12.50 total.... $6.50 for the chicken chop .... $3 for the soup.. and $3 for the snapple drink.... =)

Movie Reviews

Watched a few movies of late.... I would say SALT is the best movie for this year. The story is about a Russian spy who was sent over to USA to spy for the Russians.... And then there is this atmosphere whereby u dunno wad is gonna happen next. Twists and turns.... but its easy to understand. Certainly a very enjoyable movie.... With all that action packed thriller... =)

RATINGS: 9/10


Watched Berlin 36.... Its about a conspiracy done up by the Germans during Hitler's regime when Germany hosted the 1936 World Olympics... There is this female Jewish high jumper.. and the Germans did not fancy sending her to represent Germany.... so they got a man to crossdress as a woman to represent Germany for the female higher jumper for the olympics.. overall, its quite enjoyable.... it is based on a true story and comes with a reflection on the true people at the end of the story. =) There is much more to this movie... it comes as a gentle reminder and touches the topic on racism and prejudice...

RATINGS: 7.5/10



Watched Ong Bak 3... I would say this is the worst movie in the Ong Bak series... The rest were better... this episode is like they have no story to continue... and they drag the movie thru... for revenue and ticket sales... so its seriously quite sucky.... ong bak didnt fight a lot too...

RATINGS: 4/10

Baby Guppies

My female guppy gave birth today ... 17 fries all together... =)

I believe the male guppy is a yellow.. so i shall see light blue-yellow combi guppies in months to come.... =)

August liao

明天以後 by 林峯+泳兒 (粵語版)

Wah.. Time flies... In a nick of time.... its August liao.... My life seems to be around aimlessly everyday.... Applied for like 20-30 jobs... only 1 came back to me... the rest did not do any follow-up... sounds real sucky....

Anyway, the 1 that came back to me was the job of HR officer with NIE.... Had the interview last Thursday.... I admit... I didnt do well for the interview.... they asked me to prepare a presentation which I feel I did well... but for the questioning part in the interview part..I would say its not good.... I give it a 50:50... Anyway, they say they will contact me within 2 weeks..... either letter of rejection or a phone call saying I am in for the job...

Ha... its time to prepare for convocation.... which is like the end of the month.... collection of the graduation gown after National day.... ummmm....



Watched Hot Tub Time Machine with Zhenhui last last week.... We had dinner at Aston's @ The Cathay before the movie ..... I love the steak at Aston's... its nice, cooked to perfection and relatively reasonable..... =)

RATINGS: 8.5/10



Hot Tub Time Machine is about a group of guys who drank and accidentally travel back on time to 1986.... I would say the movie is quite funny... and zen and i enjoyed it a lot.... =) Good humour.... though their jokes and get a bit dirty... lol... =)

RATINGS: 8/10



Met Shaun on saturday.... we went to marina square to catch Old Cow Vs Tender Grass. i would say this movie is all about local flavour... and it touches your heart.... the movie is funny bits and there... but overall i am impressed with Hui-ge.. he acted quite well in the movie.. lol.. better than that Mark Lee... tat poked face... -_-" nowadays getting too arrogant on Tv liao....


Anyway, I loved Nat Ho's character... hes called Jun Hui... my brother's name... and the funniest part was Nat Ho's "ling wei" which says Lee Jun Hui... which is my brother's full name..... quite funny. and when the movie ended....there was this brother laughing at his younger brother.. u died... i presume he has the full exact same name... lol... Anyway, I wished Nat Ho would have had more scenes.. and the love story between the tender grass could have been more elaborate though... =)

RATINGS: 7/10




Before the movie was dinner at Imperial Treasure.. ate my fav. xiaolongbao... i admit its the best in singapore.... plus the suan la la mian... =) Yummy.. xiaolongbao is a must must.. LOL.... =)

RATINGS: 9/10



We headed for supper at Gluttons Bay later on... had chicken wings... satay and orh luak... and OF COURSE teh cino.. which is quite nice... and oh no.. they replaced the indian staff with prc... -_-" always prefer ah neh to do the teh tarik pouring..they look more professional... LOL... too bad i 4get to take pics of the rest, apart from the satay!!! The orh luak wasnt tat nice..





Lunch was with my family at Jurong Point, Yakiyakibo.... It was a nice teppanyaki lunch.... i ordered the beef set.. my bro ordered the seafood chicken set... Overall, nice and price is reasonable.... =) The fried banana fritter with vanilla ice cream was special..... =) they used bread to fry the banana.... =)

The Wave Song (With Lyric and Sing along) - MrBrown Show Production

LOL... This is SO FUNNY! =)

Yew Tee Point / Northpoint / Bukit Panjang Plaza / Tiong Bahru Plaza / Jurong Point (3 Jul - 11 Jul)

Had lunch with family on the first week of July... we went to Yew Tee Point for lunch... =) We were out the whole day.... lunch was at Shin Tokyo at Yew Tee Point... before my dad drove us to Kranji and then Bukit Batok.... for my brother's furniture... my dad even drove me to Yishun later in the evening....



Met Zhenhui and Tsianhwee at Northpoint... Dinner was at BBQ chicken... which offers $8 set meals.... on weekends... a nice chicken set meal with a good sauce and 2 drinks each.... =)






















Watched Toy Story 3... the story was nice.. I simply love cartoons... quite touching and funny at the same time... Enjoyed it! =)

RATINGS: 8/10

Was about to reach home when my mum called me to tell me my daddy is in the A&E of Tan Tock Seng Hospital.... Took a Chrysler cab with mum to the hospital... cant imagine my first Chrysler cab ride was to the hospital... haix... cant really enjoyed it when somebody is in the emergency department....



Cant really imagine my daddy could be out the whole day... whole morning and afternoon, out in the hot sun... driving hundreds of kilometres and he is in the hospital's A&E at night, huh?

The aftermath was a terrible nightmare... which i had said before.. in and out of hospital for the past weeks...




Had lunch with family the weekend after my dad was discharged... a lunch at Ichiban Sushi.. ordered this niku beef set... i feel its one of the better deals offered by Ichiban. The meal was appetizing... and i love the tofu soaked with the beef sauce =)




Surprisingly that Saturday, I also ordered a beef cheese rice at EighteenCafes @ Tiong Bahru Plaza for my outing with Shaun... lol... the meal was good... cheap at less than $10 and comes with a lemon tea! =) Support the YELLOW RIBBON MANN!!! It was opened by an ex-convict and hires ex-convicts too! Service was there.... =)

We watched Despicable Me.... I love the movie... yeah... call me childish... but i prefer childish movies.... its easy to understand.... and its more entertaining... what we need is a nice humour at the end of the week... =)

RATINGS: 9/10

Driving..... AMK / Old Airport Road / Jurong Point / IKEA Alexandra (12 Jul - 18 Jul)

LOL.... Been driving for the past few days.... Dad's been resting at home and I have the car to share with my brother, for the past 3 weeks....

I guess he will need about 2 more weeks before he can fully recover... He's waiting for the nose hole to slowly conceal by itself.. May he recover soon.... =)

One thing I observe on the roads these few days... Singapore's getting too dangerous to drive.. compared with a year ago... there are like so many cars on the roads... i thank myself for living in Bukit Panjang, where the roads are broad with not much cars... Had a horrible experience in AMK and Geylang at about 5 plus in the evening ytd... there were so many cars... u seriously cant change lanes... Nobody's giving you way in Singapore.... you gotta be ruthless... -_-"

One thing bad about Singaporean drivers.... Most fail to signal when they switch lanes... so u gotta beware... There are also many stupid cyclists and pedestrians who tink they will be compensated if you knock them down.... they just cycle across a 4 way junction when the traffic lights are RED!!! -_-" ...

One good advice I can give is... NEVER BUY AND RIDE A MOTORCYCLE in Singapore. There are simply too many cars in Singapore... and the lights on the motorbikes are usually too small to be seen in the side mirrors at night... Many drivers also cant see you when they change lanes... until the very last few seconds..... If you wanna ride a bike... its best you have a car first.. experience how driving is like... and understand better before you can really ride a bike.... know where are the blindspots that cant been seen by car owners...-_-"





Went to AMK with tsian to watch the movie.... Inception... Overall, the story was fast moving.... but extremely confusing with too many irritating and complicated scenes... budget spent for the movie was high... but basically there wasnt much plot... its about dreaming in a dream.... and the many confusing levels are going into a dream when you are in a dream... the hijacking of the rich man's son doesnt make any sense at all... and i seriously wonder wad the story is about... -_-"

RATINGS: 5/10 (5 for the scenery... 0 for the plot)











Drove over to have dinner cum supper at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre.. only knows this stall selling Wanton Mee.... #01-02 is the nice.... the wanton is good... and the noodles darn Q.... except the lady boss is always fuming mad... lol... Hua Kee i tink.... pink colour signboard... We ordered stingray, orh luak and satay too...

The orh luak and satay was good... on the above average side.... but the stingray looks appetizing... but doesnt taste as good as it is... the stingray sambal chilli is sour and not hot enough... my grandma's chilli is better! LOL.... Name of stall... Long House Seafood.. dun order from there... =) spoils ur meal... we were kinda full and i only had a few bites of the stingray....

Yes I know we ordered too much for 2 persons.. LOL... but the stingray really spoils the meal.... shouldnt have wasted $11 on it! LOL...

Had lunch with my brother today at Jurong Point... Went to Meni-chi for ramen noodles.... I frankly tell you i like their pork belly... went there for that... the chilli tontusuku pork ramen wasnt as nice.... lots of gravy.. typical japanese style... but really didnt like it as it wasnt hot or hiam enough....

My brother ordered the cheese ramen pork ramen... didnt ask him how it tasted... but i guess its gg to be very filling... cos he ate slower den me... when he usually does it faster den me.. lol...



Had lunch at IKEA Alexandra the other day... accompanied my brother to buy a new cupboard... had early dinner... lol... fried chicken meal... @ $6 including drinks.... as we had spent over a $1000 at IKEA and was given 2 years free membership.... which comes with 20 free drinks... and discount on their set meals.. lol.. the fried chicken was too salty.. lol...

Apologies for no update

Had been a terrifying and sleepless week for me last week... daddy's in and out of hospital... dialed 995 like twice in 3 days before they finally admit him into hospital.... turns out that he broke one of his blood vessels near his nose... tat caused the bleeding... and doctors have managed to mend it.... Daddy's doing good now.. resting at home...

And now i am down with a flu myself..... getting better now... but i guess i should be blogging a full post sometime by end of this week.

Back to listening songs... found an oldie song.... damn nice! =)
