I cant bring myself to believe the fact that another year has passed, so fast and swiftly...
I wonder whether this year has been a smooth one for me. Well, i suppose so, except all the getting admitted into hospital for umpteen times, being involved in the accident, undergoing the operation, going for subsequent tonnes of check-ups and all.
I really hope i will not have to go through all these sufferings again this year.
Alright, now i shall update you all about my celebration for the upcoming new year.
Yesterday, i met Dear in town as i had work later on at 6pm. Upon reaching Taka, we went for lunch at Crystal Jade. As usual, there was a long queue and we had to wait. Luckily, we didnt wait for long as seats for 2 pax were not that difficult to find, i suppose.
Now, i shall let pictures do the talking.
This is the side dish we ordered. If im not wrong, its called pork dumplings, in duno wad sauce.
By the time we finished the dumplings, Dear's noodles arrived at our table.
Dear's order: La Mian with Shrimp Wontons, although he claimed that the wontons contained only pork, instead of shrimps. Dont his noodles look abit bland huh?
Despite my comment that the noodles doesnt look as tasty as expected, Dear still enjoyed his soup. Check out his expression in the picture below. Btw, dont get me wrong, i didnt ask him to pose for me at all. This is being taken unaware of him. Haha =)
Soon after, my order arrived.
Spicy and Sour Noodles. I like!
I love my noodles, and Crystal Jade too!
After the lunch, we went walking around in Taka before i headed for work, while Dear set off to meet his frens at City Hall.
As expected, sales was bad on New Year's Eve, just like Christmas Eve as well. I guess the crowd must have all been laying ambush along the streets of Orchard, shaking their spray cans and waiting for midnight eagerly so that they can start aiming at people with their spray cans like nobody's business.
Finally, i managed to persevere until Isetan closed for the day and left the place for Marina Sq as Dear and his frens were there, drinking their hearts out i tink.
On the way to Marina Sq, i thought i will be able to reach in the shortest time possible, as in the past, i was always travelling along that lonely route to go for work at Esplanade. Little did i expect that yesterday night, i had many many groups of people for company, while walking to Marina Sq.
This made my travelling time seem like forever, as i had to stop every few minutes. Everyone also started walking like penguins, moving slightly from left to right, and back to left with each step they take. Pardon me if my description is not clear enough for u to understand, as i have no idea how to provide a clearer one.
So, i realize that these people had actually all come and squeeze one another in the premises of Marina Sq and Esplanade so as not to miss the chance of admiring the beautiful fireworks. However, i rather skip this kind of gathering which makes people feel cramped, hot and stuffy. I still prefer catching midnight movies which i will elaborate later on. Haha =)
At last, i managed to meet up wif Dear and his frens. As i was famished, we went to the Foodcourt and i had a quick meal cos we were going to be late for our movie at 11.30pm.
Yes! Another midnight movie. Body #19. Wonder have all of you heard before this movie as it is a super sneak at cinemas? It will only be officially showing in SG on 10 Jan 2008.
Notice the caption on the picture above? This movie is from the Thai studio which produced my favourite horror movies like "Shutter" and "Alone". Just like these horror movies, Body #19 is scary, yet also has a captivating and interesting story line to entice and attract the audience's attention. In fact, i think that this movie added more of the 'gore' element in its scenes and all.
In all, i really enjoyed the movie even though we were late for at least 15 minutes and missed the beginning part, due to the human jam along the way from Marina Sq to station. But this shows that the movie's story line is great since im still able to enjoy it despite missing the beginning.
Im glad that Dear liked the movie too and i hope his frens have the same liking for it as well, cos they skipped admiring their fireworks and made a very last-min decision to watch the movie with us.
So if you also go for horror and gore movies with good storylines just like me, do not give Body #19 a miss ok!
And and and, i need to complain regarding something, that is, Dear keeps nagging at me for screaming loudly during scary moments in the movie. Hello, this is a horror movie rite? Of cos i will and have the need to scream my guts out when i feel frightened, regardless of the bloody monster appearing in scenes suddenly or the horrifying sound effects which complement the scenes most perfectly.
To Dear: Even though my screams do scare you, you have no choice but to endure them too. Heex =)
After the movie which ended around 1.30am, Sis gave me a call and asked if i wanted a lift from Dad. Of cos, i agreed. So Dear and i bade goodbye to his frens before leaving for home.
Yes, my home as Dear will be coming over to stay for the night.
Upon reaching my house, we took turns to bathe and change. After some tv till ard 4 sumting, we went to sleep.
Fortunately, we managed to wake up at around 10am for breakfast, as agreed the previous night. So, both of us strolled to the hawker centre downstairs, bought some youtiao and laksa for takeaway and ate at home. I realized it has been a really long time since i last ate breakfast. Of cos, i enjoyed the breakfast alot this morning.
Then, i demanded Dear to accompany me to watch the 3rd episode of It Started With A Kiss 2 at veoh.com. The show is really getting nicer. But i will have to wait for a very long time before Episode 4 shows on TV in Taiwan. Irritating =(
Time check: Its 11 plus now. And i still haven even touched one mao of T&D though the test is scheduled on this Thurs.
Alright, i must really...really go and bury my face in T&D lecture notes now.
School will be starting tmr. Hope that everything will go fine for everyone.
Also, hope that i will be able to turn in early tonight as i want to quit being late for David Cheong's class, which starts 8am tmr. Wish me luck!
Oh ya...and for T&D test too =)
