Haven't been blogging for the longest time. Seems like everytime I start a post these days, that is what I always say. Somehow, I think I feel pretty guilty that I rather facebook my time away than actually updating my blog. Not really for anyone to read but probably just for me to put my thoughts down, in the event that my memory starts failing me, I have somewhere to refer to for past events.
Anyway, did I mention that the F1 Rocks concert really rocks? Oh, I know that was like eons ago but hey, there are after-effects! Although the sound system sucks and the time management probably wasn't too good either, the performers at least were great. A*mei and Jacky Cheung rocked the entire concert and man, when they were on stage time seemed to pass really fast.
SO, the after-effects of the F1 Rocks concert is that kutu is going with me to A*mei's concert next year! Yay yay yay!
And of course, my concert kaki for the previous William So and Ronald Cheng's concert was also kutu! I had indeed trained her well. She said that she is finally appreciating all these entertainment experiences. Even so, the W-So and R-Cheng concert was abit lackluster in my opinion. There was nothing much that was really interesting and was just an OK performance. If not for me having listened to W-So's songs half my life, I would have easily forgo this concert.
Oh, went to M'sia last week with lh, wisely and ber, finally fulfiling our KTV/seafood 'date'. We went for a movie, dinner then KTV. Pretty cheap considering we did quite a few things there.
Caught 2 movies over these weeks and both were quite good. The first one was Cloudy with a chance of meatballs and the second one is Tsunami at Haeundae.
First one was animated comedy. Storyline was relatively simple but not too stale. At least there was never a moment when I was actually bored with the show. Everything was nicely paced and the character buildup was done quite nicely too. Of course, it doesn't hurt that it is a show mainly about food falling from the sky. It's everyone's dream!
Second one was surprisingly good. I had expected the show to start out with the huge tsunami killing plenty and us having to go through their ordeals and how they survive that. This was a different kind of disaster movie. Instead of spending 3/4 of the time showing us how the characters manage to save themselves and strangers from the disasters, this show was spending 3/4 of the time building up the characters' stories. How their stories were related to each other (since they were all living at the same island) and how they eventually reconciled with their past horrors. Funny and very touching too.
OK, no photos to upload for this post because all my photos are uploaded in my office computer. My laptop is totally going to die on me very very soon.
Yay. I survived Pulau Ubin on a healing sprained foot and 4 hours of sleep. The strange thing was that I said "I survived Pulau Ubin" as my facebook status and an application friend asked me where was Pulau Ubin and if it was tough to survive it... -_-" I guess sometimes exaggeration gets taken a bit too seriously.
I love this sign. It looks creepy. And I love the sky-clouds there.
And I love this tree. It looks surreally out of place.
Their love-hate r/s.
Saturday was grandma's 79th birthday and we went to a restaurant in Tiong Bahru Plaza for dinner. According to wisely, the restaurant is moving out soon, not that I'm bothered much by that; the food was only average. Oh, and through this dinner then I realised that I do not have that bad shaky hands after all! All the photos I took were clear but all the rest taken by others were blurred. -_-" I guess anti-shake don't work for really shaky hands after all.
寿桃, compliments of the restaurant.
Sunday was Mayday's free outdoor concert at Stadium Green, which was packed. There were even people who queued overnight just go to be right in front. It seriously makes no sense because it is a very big area and even when we only reached at 6+pm, by the time we got into the field, we can still see everything clearly from the back.
Monday was their autograph session which was also packed. Seriously, I never knew that there were THAT many fanatic fans of Mayday around! I guess there must be some free event in order to find that out. Well, all the photos here are not exactly top quality but make do k..
Oh, and my phone is spoilt. I can't hear the other party over a call but at least I can still send and receive messages. Since I was having blocked ear these days, I even made my sister confirm that it was really my phone that was spoilt but not my ear that is deaf. Fortunately (for my ear but not my phone), she also can't hear the other party over the phone. So I'm convinced that it is a sign telling me to get a new phone! And I got myself this phone.
It's pretty but I don't really like the screen inside, it's kinda small. And the colour selection is next to non-existent. There was only Black available. And the worse part was I walked around AMK looking for this phone but there was only ONE store in the entire area that still have stock for this phone and they have only ONE piece of it left. Seriously, is this phone really that hot that everyone has grabbed one, or is it so lousy that the stores don't even want to bring in much of it? That is a question left to be answered by myself. Time will tell.
As I was facebooking and staring at my applications, I discovered a trend. I'm so surprised that it didn't occur to me earlier. Somehow, facebook players seem to like games involving eggs. There are tons of applications out there that has something to do with eggs.
Hatchlings - You find eggs around other people's profile and hatch them into creature pets and feed them with subsequent eggs you find.
Hatchery - You get eggs (either by buying or having friends to send some to you) and you hatch them into baby monsters which will grow. You have to feed them, play with them, clean them and make sure they are warm. Something like tamagochi.
Egg Breaker - Where you get hammers and break eggs to uncover treasures/trash inside the eggs.
Hatching Eggs - Where you send eggs to others (or yourself if you are deprived) and something will hatch out of it. It could be animals, babies, flowers or whatever nonsense they can come up with.
And I am sure whatever I just listed above are not comprehensive. They are just one small tip of the iceberg. So, why is there the obsession with eggs? I know they are good to eat and goes well with anything and everything but they are also bad for health for their high cholestrol level.
Don't take me wrong, I have nothing against all these games. I love them infact. They are the ones that keep me going through everyday in the office. I'm just wondering why the trend. ???
