Seasons in the sun=p

Been a few enjoyable days meeting up with close friends. Had FLV meeting yesterday and finally the whole group of us went to YIH canteen for food. Usually this is not the preferred move as most of them thinks that the food there is not very edible. hmm.. due to the recommendations of Da Bai, all of us flooded to the Nasi Padang store. The boss must be super happy to have a queue of 12 people buying from her! Its really not bad, but then, I'm not one to have very high expectations of food. As long as its within the category of food that I eat, I'm generally fine with the taste.
Thereafter, had movie at marina square with Joanne. I Am Legend. A rather typical western made movie I would think. Its about this genetic engineered cancer cure that turned into a disaster a few years later, turning humans to lose all humanity. A quarantined New York City was filled with such 'creatures' who hunt for healthy human for food at night(they are scared of light). One day when Roberts was injured, his dog got infected and he had to put it down before it turned violent (general symptoms: fully dilated pupils, fangs, complete hair loss). He thought of killing as many of those creatures as possible and just die doing it but was saved by a woman. Because it was dark when the woman rescued him back to his house, they were followed by the creatures and so.. the next night, thousands of them just flood to the house. It was then that Roberts realised that the cure that he was inventing works! Too late. He took a syringe full of the cure and passed it to the woman and her son, hid them in a chimney and ignite a granite to kill off all the creatures at his house.This is how mankind managed to survive and hence, he is the legend.

Typical as it is, I would say that if anyone is looking for a little scare, this is the movie. The sound effect and the graphics made sudden and unexpected, catches people off guard. I was eating peanuts, but decided to stop in case I choke when something jumps out=p

Dinner was at Fin. Had Fish and chips and chat over dinner about school. How the fork should not be pointed upwards throughout a formal dinner etc etc. Went for a walk at esplanade, seeing loads of couples enjoying a romantic moment, friends eating at the open air food court and people staying in a far away hotel basking in the dim yellow light that speaks of anything but stress. There was a small performance at Esplanade: piano, guitar, percussion and a singer. hmm.. good enough to kill some time and breath in some artistic flair.
The night was peaceful with the Merlion in the background, the wind blowing from the 'river' and a long-time friend.
Today, glad and pin came to my house. haha.. im rather surprised that we can occupy ourselves from morning till night. 9.5hrs spent eating carrot cake for breakfast, playing badminton and basketball under the hot 1pm sun, shifting our exercising grounds to the void deck and suffering from a severe 'shuttle-cock height limit'. Lunch was Ba Chor Mee for them and I taught them mahjong after that. haha.. Nothing chim abt the way I play because Im really not good at it as well. haha.. but both of them got the hang of it even though Glad made us 'reverse' our moves because she '吃 ’a tile when she is not supposed to. Because of this, my brother had to reverse his 'gang' as well. haha.. he was happy for nothing. Then the last game ended with glad being the 小象公. hmm.. hee. she is so talented I think she should play with me again=D
Hope everyone enjoyed their first few days of 2008 as well.
