Year in Review

Having the next few days packed to the brim in terms of activities/parties. So guess I won’t be having any new posts till it’s way after the new year.

So Happy New Year in advance~!!!

Doomsday

Been watching movies once again while waiting for my flu to recover. All happen to be related to have us human beings face doomsday, each of a different form. Extremely thrilled to introduce them to you while I draft out my reviews.

 

Extremely entertained by all three movies. Hope my reviews will be able to do them justice.

KL vs. You-Know-Where

Can’t help but realize some important differences between the two countries the moment I crossed the border. These are just my personal opinions/observations and I in no way mean to insult anybody or any country.

Review: National Treasure, Book of Secrets

Quoted from IMDB:

Treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicholas Cage) looks to discover the truth behind the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, by uncovering the mystery within the 18 pages missing from assassin John Wilkes Booth’s diary.

Seems like Nicholas Cage has an unfortunate ability to screen in lousy films recently. Look at The Wicker Man, Ghost Rider and Next. All either have impossibly lousy plots or lousy effects or even both. Fortunately he had National Treasure which bagged “an unexpected $347.5 million worldwide” to give him another shot in an okay film.

 

Sad to say, he got himself another lousy movie… This movie is only recommended to those who like actions but don’t expect that it’d be as good as National Treasure 1.0.

Abduction~!

Abduction alert~! Three suave/handsome/superior men were abducted by one Mediacorp producer on Orchard Road outside Takashimaya Shopping Centre~!! They were then forced to smile on camera and say things that they didn’t want to~!!! Luckily photos were taken as proof:

Originally we planned to say that our new resolution is for Fen to accomplish 10 piruettes, Wang Da to achieve a 270 degrees split plus head stand and me to learn 搬腿转. Too bad our plan was thwarted… Grr~

We then spitted ways and I met Yixin at Plaza Singapura for an elaborated gift exchange and a small piece of rostie. Looks like I got the better end of the deal since she only received one T-shirt and I got a lot more. Oops…

The group reformed later and we caught National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Nothing much can be said about the movie. Maybe I’d write a short review of the movie… Maybe not…

Public Phones

With the current mobile phone penetration rate of 111.2% as of June 2007 (Source: Wikipedia), it’s no wonder that one may need some courage when one is approaching public phone booths to make a phone call.

But don’t ever undermine the function of public phones. It’s the message that you bring that matters much more. 😀

Ache~!

Finally got back to Chinese dance technique class on Wednesday evening. And as expected, my muscles ache big time the next morning. Makes me tiresome even to change out of my pants. Haha… Fortunately, I’m having muscles pain in the right muscle groups. (*I think*) It’s said that some makes you a better dancer as having muscle strains there means you have used the right muscles during technique class; And some makes you grow thunder thighs that can never fit into any slim fit jeans. Haha…

It’s been months since my last practice~! In fact the last one I had was before I flew for Korea. So it’s no surprise that my whole body was shaking like nobody’s business. And there were so many people whom I can’t put a name to. Seems like I need some interaction with the juniors… Luckily the others remain as happy and as warm hearted as they always are. Which is exactly what I like about Chinese Dance dancers.

Next technique class is this coming Sunday. Hmm… Let the muscle aches begin.

KL Day 03 & 04

Third day was planned to be a hair cut day. Nothing much special happened…

Then what? No prize for guessing the right answer, it’s shopping time again. Had KFC for lunch at the shopping complex and found the chicken to contain less fatty tissue than those in Singapore. Hmm…

We had some trouble looking for our dinner venue, which was meant to be at some 大排档. We had it in the end somewhere near ahL’s house. Some restaurant which was broadcasting a cable movie channel which I suspect it didn’t obtain license from the cable company…
