The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian

I just came back from watching The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian. This movie is about 2.5 hours long and I feel like watching Lord of the Rings. Besides the long hours that is similar to LOTR, there are so many scenes I feel quite similar to LOTR. Like the starting horse chasing scenes across the grassland, the fierce current that destroy enemies riding horses and trees that come alive and destroy armies etc.. The first half of the movie is slightly draggy as it is mostly talking. Only until halfway, the story picks up with action. The final showdown is also not as grand as I expected. But the special effects are good.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I just came back from watching Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Harrison Ford once again reprise the role of Indiana Jones but this time looks much older. The whole movie wins on the special effects, the humour, the acting and the flow of the movie. But the story plot I feel is rather empty. The ending is rather lame I feel. Cate Blanchett leaves me with quite a good impression with her nice acting. Overall, it is quite nice just that dun expect anything fantastic ending.

K Box

I just came back from K Box. It has been a long time since I last sang at karaoke. This time I went to the outlet at Jurong Entertainment Center. Saturday rates is about $30 per person. This includes 4 hours singing + free flow of peanuts + 2 drinks per person. I sing many songs! Jay Chou, Jeff Chang, Nicholas Chang etc... Also songs from Jolin Tsai, Zhang Huimei Stefanie Sun. I really sing until no voice. Haha! Really enjoy myself tonight!

Zip problem

Lately I got this zips problem on 3 consecutive days!!! On Wednesday, the zip of one of my working pants came off. On Thursday, another pair also goner! Guess what? Today, the zip of one of my bags came off!! Talk about luck!!!!

The Chevrons

Today I have a seminar at The Chevrons. This place is a club house off Jurong East which is opposite the International Business Park. I think it is formally called SAF Warrant Officers & Specialists Club. Any way, this is the first time there and I find that there are many nice facilities. I should check it out soon!

Ramen Ramen

I just went to Railway mail at Bukit Timah. There is this Japanese restaurant tucked away in a small corner call Ramen Ramen. I was craving for Ramen and tot of this place. I order a cheese ramen as I am a cheese lover. The ramen comes quite fast but I feel it is a bit cheesy (no pun intended) that the cheese is actually a piece of kraft thrown in. I do not know if the soup based is made of "special made" cheese or not. The soup tastes milky so I feel that maybe the kraft is just for show. Overall, it tastes nice. The service is good cos there are not many people and so the staffs are attentive towards you.

East Coast Park

Today I went to East Coast Park for a bicycle ride. It has been some time I visited this place. When I reached there, it was so packed! There are so many people and not to mention about cars! Luckily there are many empty lots near the chalet. I bring my own bicycle there so I can save on rental. Haha. I cycled from Area A to Area F. On the way, I saw the new Big Splash where there are now many shops and activities. I also passed by McDonald's area where all the main hype are. A few km down is the Bedok Jetty where many people are fishing. Besides the seafood center, there is this cable ski pool which looks fun! Then, there is this Bougainvillea Garden where there is a restaurant there I think called Sunset Bay. It is an isolated place but packed with people. East Coast Park is a nice place to relax on a non-working except it is way too crowded.

Tangs sales

Just came back from Tangs private sales. If you have Citibank credit card, you can get into Tangs departmental stall. The sale are great. Saw a few things that are going for 50% off or more. I bought a nice shirt for my work. After discount, it becomes about $88. Actually, there are more nice stuffs but just that the fitting room is long queue. So I just grab and go.

Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day and we went out for a meal to celebrate this day. But as usual we like to play with luck and never make any reservation. So we wonder around until we landed at Beer Garden restaurant in Tahan Jurong besides the Jurong Park. Though there are quite a number of people, we did get a table. We ordered quite a lot of food - Chili crabs, cereal prawns, vegetables, meat etc.. 6 of us ate for around $140. I think it is quite affordable and the food is rather nice too.

iPod Nano

Today I start to use my iPod Nano which is a gift from someone. I took it out from the casing and first impression is it looks sleek! But other than that I begin to feel a bit disappointed. Firstly, the manual instruction to operate the player is very limited. Then, you have to charge it through computer. Lastly, it did not even tell you how to upload the songs. It makes the whole experience very unfriendly for those who use it for the very first time. Luckily, I managed to settle all issues in 10 mins time. So still not so bad.

Iron Man

I just came back from watching the movie Iron Man. I feel it is quite a nice show. This show is more lighten up as compared to many superhero movies. The lead actor cracks jokes and is more "human". The most worthy of this show is the special effects. It makes the whole movie looks extremely high tech and Iron Man looks cool! Remember to stay back after the credit rolls. Got a very short scene that follow after that.

Ikea sales

I just came back from Ikea sale. There are a few things I wanted to buy a long time but keep putting off due to no time. But this time I decided to make a trip down. I meet a friend at Ikea Tampines there as she has a cousin who works there and can get us some staff discount. After walking one big round, I grab all my stuffs I wanted to buy except a few out of stocks. After paying up, I got a free dessert - Semla. It is basically a bun with whip cream. Not bad but fattening. Haha!
