Dinner and Dance

I just came back from my company D&D. This year I quite lucky. I got 2 awards (1 is personal and another is group award) and got 1 mp3 player during lucky draw. Haha!! Any way, I went on stage 3 times and due to this many people know me liao. Haha. Ok, must be low profile a bit.

L Change the World

Just watch L Change the World. This is a spin off of Death Note and talking about the last few days of L before he dies. I feel that this time round the battle of wits is not as good as the previous. But overall still ok lah. Got some effects not bad.

Dim Sum Dollies in The History of Singapore!

Today I went to watch a local musical production called Dim Sum Dollies in The History of Singapore! It is really wacky! My cousin initially asked me if I am interested to watch or not and I sort of go:"Hmm.. What kind of show is that? Nice meh?". But after watching the show, it really blew me off.

This 2 hours production is sort of a crash course mostly reflecting Singapore social issues and they are quite updated ranging from Ministers pay rise to Integrated resorts to F1 Singapore Grand Prix and not forgetting the winning of hosting 2010 Youth Olympic. The casts give a very solid performance. The most impressive things are the speed of changing clothes for the next scene and the imitation of how different races speak. Once again, this production is truly world class but some jokes I think only locals can appreciate. Ang moooo might not get it. Haha...

Orchard Road not crowded

I just came back from Orchard Road and guess what? Tonight is really empty. I wonder what other events are on? Is it the air show? I went to major shopping malls and the crowds is very good! Even with tonnes of sales going on but the queue at the cashier is very short! In fact, when I was in Isetan, there are no customers at the cashier when I paid up. I was 2nd over at Tangs. The walkway is also not crowded and easy to walk. The traffic is smooth. In fact, it is something like a weekday. Is it due to ERP also? Whatever it is, I feel tonight is a freak weekend for Orchard Road.

Surprise!!

Today got a pleasant surprise when someone in my company told me I won an award. This is because I feel that I did quite ok only for that category. But since they want to give me a award, I take loh! Haha. Dun question too much.

长江7号 CJ7

I just came back from watching this show. It is a bit different from previous Stephen Chow's movies. This time the story is a little bit more "serious" though also has funny elements. It is quite touching also. The story flow is good and the casts give quite a good performance. But the special effects I feel is not as good as his previous movies. Overall, it is a good family movie.

Ho Chi Minh City

I just came back from a 4D trips to Ho Chi Minh City over the Chinese New Year. This place initially I tot is quite backward. But I was wrong. I reached their international airport which is new. The counters are many to facilitate the crowds. I think got at least 10 unlike many places. Then, another stereotype thinking is that side should have no real branded goods like LV or Gucci. But I was wrong again. The place I stay is district 1 which I think equivalent to our Orchard Road. That area has no lack of branded stuffs and they are all real as their boutiques are housed inside 5 stars hotels.

The whole trip is more of educational trip. Haha. We went to see the reunification palace. This is the place where Vietnam war officially ended.


Then there is cu chi tunnel which is important to Vietnamese where they fight against US in the Vietnam war.


Then we also went to Mekong river. The boat ride gives me a National Geographic feeling. Haha. Overall, the trip is refreshing but just that I feel the food there is not suitable for me. The things are all boiled vegetable and cold tea. Maybe the tour guide did not bring us to the correct place to eat ba. Maybe I will visit this place again.

Last Pig Day

Just had my reunion dinner. Today is really a busy day for me. Busy cleaning up my room. Finally it has almost formed into the position I desired. Hee... Today is the last day of the pig year before the rat year comes. I hereby wish everyone a happy lunar new year! See you next year!
