Twilight= Ewwww

I went to watch "A Christmas Carol" with my lab mates and bf yesterday and before the start of the movie, the theatre actually showed the twilight trailer. I swear it's like the worst thing ever! Lycans/werewolves do not look like dogs and vampires do not sparkle in the sun(actually they'll die when exposed to the sun). Oh what has stephanie meyer done to all my beloved creatures of the dark. KIDS! I can only look back to the days of the "underworld" series and "interview with a vampire".

Hana Yori Dango-Tsukasa Domyoji

After watching the Taiwanese and Japanese versions and giving the Korean version a glance. I realised the hairstylists for all 3 versions just cannot get Domyoji's hair style right. This is what Tsukasa Domyoji's hair should really look like:

Down the path

I think I'm slowly reverting back to my good ole days... All I want to do after work is to go home, read papers, use the computer,watch tv and sleep. I'm going back to my "宅女"days... I'm not sure if that's a good sign.Image from: fashion.yunnan.cn

Korean Drama - "You're Beautiful"

I'm currently following this korean drama: "You're Beautiful", recommended by my dear colleague Huimei. I think it's a superb drama series as it totally deviates from the typical korean dramas (meaning no loving each other to death, no one falling ill or dying and the least amount of angst as possible). It really help me to relax after a day at work. And of course having ultimate bishounen(s) as the lead actors are an added advantage.Image from: dramabeans

Boring week

Well, nothing much happened this week besides work plus more work. Looking on the bright side, we're approaching the end of the year and things will hopefully slow down. I really hope the weather would stop being so erratic- It was raining throughout the whole week but super warm on the weekends!

Starbucks friday

Having the "50%-off starbucks coffee on last fridays of the month" can really brighten one's day.

Hello there beautiful

Due to fact that I was given MC for 2 days by the doctor, I'm stuck at home reading journal papers and resting. Since reading journal papers can be quite tiring, I decided to surf the net for a while just to relax. While reading up on nightingale floors of Nijo castle from Kyoto, I came across some information on ninjas or shinobi. Being the "geek" that I am, I went on to delve further into the ninja subject. Lo and behold, look what I found, check out this cool baby:

Night Safari Halloween Special

On that fateful Saturday evening, the stingrays decided to embark on perilous journey to the Singapore Night Safari Halloween Special. Upon entering the place, we surrounded by ghouls, witches and whatever freaky looking creatures that are found in horror stories. The place was decorated in whatever remains from their vistors and animals: skeletons hanging from trees, bloodied bodies, mangled body parts, deformed animals etc etc. You can never imagine the stench emitted from the surroundings...

Guys with the mangled body parts.

The girls with the tin man (Super funny dude)

Actually hor the stench was from the vistors to night safari. In addition to the massive crowd, the humid weather made everyone perspire like mad. So "occasionally" when you bumped into someone, the "pleasant" smell will assault your senses. The place was so crowded, that walking through the ghost trails isn't that scary as the screams from the front would have prepared you for what's to come. However, the terror tram ride was fantastic. The make-up of the scare party was top-notch and the plot used for each section was captivating. Although at the end of the ride, I believed fish and roy (I'm sitting between them)would have gone deaf from my screams and taichong's arms must have ached(I whacked him like mad for scaring me at the end of the train ride, sorry ven).

One of the staff harassing people

All in all, the trip was really good and we got to see many animals that didn't appear the other time. All these have to be credited to Roy, somehow that dude got some powers to make the animals appear. He just need to say the magical words: "Where's the *animal species*? *Animal species* would then appear!" Please bring him with you if you're going to view animal exhibits. =P

The magical but creepy night.

Japan Trip

I know I'm supposed to update about my trip to japan. Given the mountain load of photos, I'm just too lazy to load them to blogspot. Those interested in viewing them can refer to my facebook account. I've included a short description about the places I've visited as well. Hee.. Hope it'll make up for my laziness.

I'm back

I'm back from Japan. It was a super fun trip though it could do with lesser walking around. Shall post the detailed entries when I've loaded and sorted the photos. Nihon daisuki!

In memory of

I'm still in shock and I'm sure everyone in lab is still in shock. We'll all miss him dearly...

People reading my blog would probably expect me to blog about my recent birthday but I guess my birthday this year is a sombre affair. I really didn't have the mood to celebrate but I would like to thank everyone for the well-wishes.

Short film.

Saw this video while doing some random blog reading. It's a great short film about communication. Though let's hope that people do not go to work looking so jaded like the male character at the start of the film.



A great thank you to fashionation for posting this in their blog. This short film is one of the 2009 Cannes Lions winners.

DNA五月天創造演唱會

I attended the mayday concert yesterday and it's FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! Photos will come at a later date once I get them from my cousin.

I found the official music video of Shoujo S by Scandal. This song is used for the opening theme of the current bleach zanpakutou arc. If only we followed this MV, maybe we would have won the airband competition. LOL!

Kudos to the old hero

I was on my way to meet my jc mates when I came across this incident. You know that there's reserved seats for the elderly, handicapped etc on the trains and usually these seats would be taken up by people who do not belong in these catergories. I must really applaud this old man for standing up for his rights. (He should be in his 70s)

When he entered the train at hougang, he realised that there're no seats available for him. He waited for a while, however no one sitting on the reserved seats gave up their seats for him. Therefore, he walked up to the reserved seat nearest to him, woke the dozing man and demanded that the man give up his seat to him. I'm sure the youngster got quite a shock when he was awakened by the old man and with everyone staring at him, he had no choice but to quickly vacate his seat. So kudos to the old man for doing that and hope that anyone reading would give up their seats(be it on trains or bus) to those in need. Thank you

Seriously...

Seriously... I think some people are way too serious, add on to the fact that they complain about almost every single thing in their life, they're taking themselves way too seriously. Seriously... Now, see what that person made me do.

P.S : Seriously, I wanted to blog about my trip to bro's camp, watching NDP in pasir laba, the trip with the stingrays to night safari etc but i got side-tracked by this serious person. Relax dude!

I'm currently in love at the moment... with 2 people, although one isn't exactly alive or human.

Fairytales

I re-watched Code Geass again over the weekends. When it came to the relationship between Suzaku Kururugi and Euphemia li Britannia; Cornelia li Britannia and Gilbert G.P. Guilford, I can't help but think of this phrase "What's a knight compared to a prince?"

I realise that knights are quite sad creatures as they have to try really hard not to neglect their duties but they will never be the prince and must contend with being bystanders.
