Can you believe it??? I actually watched two movies in a day with Yuri a.k.a. R.D.D. You might want to ask her that those initials mean.
On a sidenote, something seems to be wrong with Blogspot. Can't seem to get the test to wrap around the pictures. Wonder what is going on. Anybody knows the answer?
It seems like there is not much activity going on here but I can assure you guys that I am pretty much alive, unlike the impression given by the number of posts, which are few & far in between. Watched a couple of movies lately courtesy of HSBC's Golden Village prepaid card promotions. SGD$75 for a card which entitles you to 10 tickets during all days & all sessions. It is most worthwhile to use it during the weekends & public holidays when tickets cost SGD$10 each. If I want to watch a movie, I would do so on Tuesday when they cost GV Club members SGD$6.50.
Anyway more on the movie. It is an adaption of another movie Cellular which was released in 2004. I though only Singapore TV program people (what exactly do you call them???) have no creativity or are bounded by so much red tape & censorship B.S. that we have no choice but to copy what other people have already successfully done. It turns out that our Hong Kong movie directors & scriptwriters are following the same trend too. They copied this movie & just used mostly Asian actors 7 the dialogue was mostly in mandarin. Okie, to be fair, the Ang Mohs have done the same thing too with Shuttle (there are Thai & English versions of the movie).
It has been a difficult time for all of us. Mothers of one of my closest friends in NTU & my ex-colleague / ex-mentor passed away in the space of three months. Every wake that I attend is a painful reminder of how fragile life can be. Both passed away to cancer, arguably the top killer in affluent S'pore.
Not the original singer but she's hot & she has a good voice. Since she is not lip-syncing (is it how it is spelt?), I decided to put her in my entry. Maybe you can compare her to the original singer as heard in the video below. I have a soft spot for girls who can sing well. If the girl can dance well, I'm sold.
The original singer.
In the day
In the night
Say it right
Say it all
You either got it
Or you don't
You either stand or you fall
When your will is broken
When it slips from your hand
When there's no time for joking
There's a hole in the plan
Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me
I can't say that I'm not lost and at fault
I can't say that I don't love the light and the dark
I can't say that I don't know that I am alive
And all of what I feel I could show
You tonight you tonight
Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me
From my hands I could give you
Something that I made
From my mouth I could sing you another brick that I laid
From my body I could show you a place God knows
You should know the space is holy
Do you really want to go?
Ja neh!!!
Feeling emo again. Damn!!! Another classic I want to hear on the radio-station-that-shall-not-be-named doing that-thing-I-love -to-do-at-night.
This is dedicated to the noble Bright Star. Guide the Mighty Protector in his greatest hour of need.
Feeling overwhelmingly "emo" or short for emotional as I woke up on a Sun morning. Waves & waves of emotions came crashing over me, I woke up at around 0830hrs. Pretty early considering I slept around 0300hrs the previous night. My biological clock must be fried.
Finally, the first of our group of 3 "brothers" got married & I was asked to be one of the "brothers" for this happy occassion. First time having such heavy responsibilities for a wedding & naturally there was butterflies in my stomach. Will the "sisters" give us an impossbile hard time or would it be a stroll in the park? the only way to find out is to go through it & find out first hand. Had to wake really early the next moring so the groom invited us over to his new flat to spend the night & also to spruce up our dirty cars. After hours of washing & polishing, everything was done & we went for our bachelor's night. Eating economy bee hoon & drinking coffee at a nearby coffeeshop!!! The actual ROM was held a few months back so I guess it is a bit too late for a wild of wild fun with strippers & booze. Sigh. Hahaha.
The nevue of the wedding dinner. There were 60 tables!!! OMG!!! When I get married & if I do host a wedding dinner, it will be a very grand but extremely private event with just 5 tables. 1 for the groom's family, 1 for the bride's family, 1 for relatives, 1 for friends & 1 spare table. Just 5 will be nice. We can entertain our guest s properly & it will not be a turn-up-just-to-show-face event. I like personal touches where every guest will be addressed by name. Luckily the evening passed with incident & we can all rest easy.
Ja neh!!!
It has been quite a while since I last went clubbing (most of the time was spent drinking at Thai Disco 2 in Golden Mile Complex. The previous band has fulfilled their contract (Black Fire) & somehow the present band (D2) can't really fill the very larges shoes left behind. Not to mention an excellent group of colleages that you definitely want to spend time with even after working hours. So off to Double O, where they serve some of the cheapest (if not tHE cheapest) drinks in town. SGD$ 12 for housepour jugs & SGD$3 for tequila shots. Extremely affordable for everybody I must say.
Nothing much to sohur about the music there, but when you are high on alcohol, almost everything can get to tapping your feet to the beat or letting your body loose on the dancefloor. The smoking room nearest to the dancefloor is very cramped & there is almost zero ventilation. In contract, the smoking room nearest to the live band area & pool tables is spacious & you can actually feel the air-conditioning. The live band, consistsing a male bass guitaristt, a male guitarist & a female singer whp also plays the tamborine. Drinks here are more expensive. Juggies going for double the rpice (SGD$12) while a frozen peach margarita costs SGD$14. Still affordable to the average blue collar worker like me. I told the gand we should get high on cheap drinks before coming out for some chilling in the live band area.
Seems like we are addicted to this place, something to look forward to at the end of the week. It is a form of closure for some of us, a way for us to sit back, look back at the events of the week, chit chat & find time to bond. Starting a relationshio can be hard work, but it is nothing compared to maintaining it. Social obligations can be a really heavy burden if you burn yourself at both ends of the candle.
Ja neh!!!
