Meaningless Blogging

Have a feeling my posts are becoming abit low quality lately... nothing intelligent... juz records of wat I did or planning... plus full of grumbles...but pls pardon me... tis school term has realli been hectic... too busy & exhausted to tink of anything in depth, much less convert into words & text... actually have some things to say abt many things (news, gah-men policies, price hike etc)... but everything is juz stacked up at the back of my tired brain...

Hopefully the hectic period will be over soon... and I will regain the energy & brain-juice to convert my tots into words... otherwise tis blog is realli becoming quite meaningless...

Movies

Finally got to watch both Red Cliff & Hellboy 2... but as usual, expectations too high = disappointment... I not saying the movies not good but juz NOT AS GOOD AS EXPECTED...

Red Cliff drew mixed reviews from different people... some find it good, some tink it's crap... well... I tink it all boils down to wat kind of mentality u are watching it with... it is obviously a commercialized film... script has been edited & elements included to increase the entertainment value... but from the historical point of view, if u are a loyal supporter of 三国演义 or 三国志 and are expecting something like a historical classic, then tis movie is quite crappy... for me personally, I juz treat it like any other normal movie... quite entertaining, I like war movies... and it's definitely WAY BETTER than the previous 三国 movie by Andy Lau, tat one is really wat I would describe as TOTAL CRAP... but if there's one thing I realli dun like abt Red Cliff, it's how Zhuge Liang is portrayed in the movie... initially, I am oredi quite repelled by the idea of Takeshi Kaneshiro taking the role... Zhuge Liang is a total joker or worse, clown in the movie... tink the real Zhuge Liang will turn in his grave sia...

Nothing much to say abt Hellboy 2... juz another normal superhero movie... the parts abt Hellboy & the fish-guy being all love-struck are cheesy at times... but I dun regret watching the show la... and I will catch the sequel as well (yes, the movie oredi hinted abt a sequel)...

Next up... Batman:The Dark Knight... heard from EVERYONE who watched commenting it's good... so I have high hopes on tis one...

Batam Trip

Yeah! Going to Batam for a short weekend getaway for the National Day long weekend... almost confirm liao... left the ferry tickets nv get onli... the chalet is free so onli pay for ferry plus expenses...

Juz as I was complaining abt finances running low... and exceeding my budget for tis month due to too much good food... I managed to replenish my supplies tis weekend... won abt 300 bucks from mj... lucky... plus tis month's salary juz came in... have bonus somemore, althou a pittance... but every little bit helps...

Aaarrrggghhh... tmr is Monday again... feeling the blues as usual... I hate work...

Juz Another Post

Supposed to go sleep le... coz gotta wake up early tmr... long weekend is over... doesn't feel beri long thou... haha... juz reach home not long ago... now waiting for hair to dry after shower... mama say cannot go to bed with wet hair, will "头风" de...

Went for dinner buffet juz now at Oriental Mandarin hotel... a place called Melt - The World Cafe... beri nice place... food is good, great variety, nice ambience, superb service... but everything comes at a price... a hefty price of almost 80 bucks... but I still highly recommend the place la... one of the beta buffets I eaten... but onli if u have cash to spare...

I for one dun have much cash to spare sia... been spending too much recently... esp on food... my frenz commented tat I grew fatter... belly getting real obvious... definitely la... all the good food... muz store somewhere rite... watching many movies too... nowadays movies damn exp, the drinks & snacks they sell oso exp loh... then juz settled the bills (handphone, internet plus the toopid income tax... kaoz earn so little liao still got tax)...

Lucky tis month have the GST rebate (but why I onli 200? My frenz getting 250 or more leh... gah-men cheat me $50 ah?)... and won some $$$ from my mj sessions... so can lessen the impact abit... but still... haiz... 钱不够用...

Ok... hair dry le... nid to catch my "beauty sleep"... long day tmr...

Long Weekend

Tmr is Youth Day... no school... Yay!

Last nite caught the 2am show of Hancock... seldom watch such late timing but since long weekend, nv mind la... I din realli like the show, maybe my expectations too high le ba... but I tink the storyline quite weak...

After movie went for supper (or breakfast?) at the xin wang cafe at kovan... such weird timing still quite alot of ppl sia... sg-reans realli dun like to sleep... reach home at 5 plus in the morning... but my fren driving so have free chauffeur to fetch me around... so np...

Now planning a trip to maybe Batam during the coming National Day long weekend... my fren have company lobang, can apply for company resort so lodging may be free... so good deal so cun miss the chance... but from now till then is a long & busy month...

Recently appetite extremely good... duno why... cun stop eating, get hungry real fast... been going places to find good food... but mainly becoz have fren driving so can go far & usually hard-to-go places... some of my frenz planning to buy or juz bought car recently... nowadays having a car is a huge financial burden sia... fuel prices sky-high... ERP, road tax... it's juz crazy... having a car juz seems so out-of-my-league... I'll juz stick to taking cab ba...

Darn... feeling hungry again liao... time for night snack...
