We're now grown ups

i believe most of your must have made some good friends ever since your primary school days and till date, you're still keeping in contact with one another. That goes to show how lasting your friendship is. It has been more than 10 over years since we last left primary school. Frankly speaking, i have a vague memory of my life in there during those days... Back then, when i was still young, i don't mingle around with that many friends except for the usual bunch of people. Today, i'm thankful that i am still in close contact with two good friends from my primary school. Our friendship bond for more than 10 over years... Sometimes it's hard to come by having to maintain such a long term friendship and i treasure that.

In the blink of an eye, we're now all grown ups. However, we hardly change a bit though. For look wise, i guess everyone has matured through the years. Having not change a bit was referred to our characters and how we often crap and joke during our "dialogue" session when we meet up each time. As usual, we feel comfortable sharing with one another about our life, our ups and downs... This is the reason why i often enjoy sitting down, chatting with friends over a cup of coffee 'cause this is the best time to catch up with one another especially after you've not seen them for so long. In fact for me and my two primary school mates, we are not the ones who often meet up, sometimes even as long as a year. But, we are not strangers to one another though. we're still good friends, good buddies.

Finally, the three musketeers' meet-up was a success back on the 22nd july. we have planned to catch an evening movie, inception over at Bishan's GV. It was still quite some time away from movie and we decided to get some koi first to satisfy our desires.

For myself, i had a new try. ICE-CREAM Milk Tea flavour. In comparison with the previous one (original milk tea) which i had, sadly there's lesser pearls for the ice-cream flavour one. i love the pearls from koi. It's fresh and chewy! Perhaps during my next try, i will go for oolong milk tea or some chocolate flavour ones.

There's still more years down the road...

INCEPTION INCEPTION INCEPTION

A dream within a dream...

Here's the trailer:

The mind manipulating, brain-bending Inception is the defining movie of the season, if not the entire year. It's one of those ultra rare movies that actually lives up to the hype and even surpasses the most fanatical expectations.

That's for now.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse


In the Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between Edward and Jacob, knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.
(Main cast crews: Kristen Stewart(Bella), Robert Pattinson(Edward), Taylor Lautner(Jacob))

Rachel and I are twilight fans, not really die hard fans though... Still remember last year we accompanied each other to watch new moon. This year was no difference; we went on to catch eclipse together when it was first released on 1st of July. The cinema over at amk is awesome. I've never been to amk's theatre and the moment i stepped in there, i was awed by the red spacious seats. The seats are very comfortable and me and rac got a couple seat which is like super spacious. We've no idea how we managed to get that seat, but anyway it was so worth the ticket price having to watch my favourite movie in a nice cosy theatre. Only 6 bucks for that day and it was booked in advance the previous day. (i just come to realize you can actually purchase movie tickets the day before without any additional charges.)

This is amk's cinema theatre.

we satisfy our hunger pangs by indulging in new york new york before the movie. i ordered this fried chicken with mozzarella cheese. It was a good try. The mozzarella cheesy fried chicken tasted not bad. However, the serving is a huge portion. It's too filling for me. Soon after lunch, me together with rac along with her boyfriend went to play pool to kill some time before our eclipse movie commences. It was a 3.50pm show.

Eclipse wasn't a letdown. Back then i didn't really like the new moon's story plot in the movie. It ended off too abruptly. This time round, personally i feel that eclipse is much better than new moon. I would say it's the best among the rest of the twilight saga series, except for breaking dawn which is yet to be aired. New characters are introduced in eclipse- The Newborns. As the malicious vampire, Victoria continues her quest for revenge, Bella is once again surrounded by danger. The newborns are all ready to hunt her down with her scent. This makes the whole movie nerve-wrecking and i could feel the adrenaline rush during some parts of the movie in eclipse. Heart palpitation, cold sweat... i experienced all those throughout the movie. Other than the nerve-wrecking part, the funny part of the movie was when Edward and Jacob were both fighting over Bella. Both their jealousy, it's really cute! (*laughs*)

Thumbs Up for this movie, eclipse:D

That's for now. School Practicum commencing tomorrow...

The Last Song

The Last Song

The Last Song is set in a small Southern beach town where an estranged father (Greg Kinnear) gets a chance to spend a summer with his reluctant teenaged daughter (Miley Cyrus) who'd rather be home in New York. He tries to reconnect with her through the only thing they have in common -music, in a story of family, friendship, secret and salvation, along with first loves and second chances. Here's the trailer of the movie


I felt that "The Last Song" was an average-rated show. The story plot is mundane, revolving around the usual family, friendship and relationship problems. With the intial thought that this would be a romance movie, i was actually partly wrong. It revolves around more towards kinship with a twist towards the end of the story. The ending was touching and there's this young boy character who acted well in "The Last Song". i felt so. His emotions are really there and most of the times, i was touched as i was watching his part especially when he teared badly upon discovering his father's critical condition and having not much time left as the father was diagnosed with cancer...

As you can see that it's a sad story towards the ending. The dad passed away. i was affected by that and i teared too... we are all human beings and we do have emotions... Life is fragile, just like how "The Last Song" story plot has depicted in the movie. More importantly, we ought to treasure the ones around us, our families of the utmost importance here and our friends....

it's been long since we last catch up...

Holidays are always the best part of my life. The only time when i really get to slower down my pace, take a good look at things around me and spend more time with my family and friends. It's almost ages since i last met up with Jasmine. Finally, we get to meet up yesterday and had a great day spent over movie, arcade and a simple dinner.

A romance comedy that explores courtship, love, marriage and family in reverse.

A synopsis of "The Back-up Plan":
After years of dating, Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) has decided waiting for the right one is taking too long. Determined to become a mother, she commits to a plan, makes an appointment and decides to go it alone. On the day of her artificial insemination, Zoe meets Stan (Alex O'Loughlin) -a man with real possibilities.

Trying to nurture a budding relationship and hide the early signs of pregnancy becomes a comedy of errors for Zoe and creates confusing signals for Stan. When Zoe nervously reveals the reason for her unpredictable behavior, Stan commits fully and says he's in.

Never before has love seen a courtship where a wild night of sex involves three in a bed - Stan, Zoe and the ever-present massive pregnancy pillow. Or, where "date night" consists of being the "focal point" at a near-stranger's water birth which does for kiddie pools what "Jaws" did for swimming in the ocean.

The real pregnancy test comes when both of them realize they really do not know each other outside of hormonal chaos and birth preparations. With the nine month clock ticking, both begin to experience cold feet. Anyone can fall in love, get married and have a baby but doing it backwards in hyper-drive could be proof positive that they were made for each other.

Cast: Jennifer Lopez, Alex O'Loughlin, Noureen DeWulf.

Personally, i felt that this is quite an entertaining movie with essence of comical contents in it. i watched the 3.50pm timeslot over at jurong point's golden village with Jasmine yesterday. Intially i suggested D13, the Ultimatum which is a NC 16 show with some violence contents. The sad thing is they only have this available timeslot at 6.15pm which is quite a late session. And we changed to Back Up Plan. i didn't regret my choice watching that. It's a nice, sweet romance comedy. Some of the parts are hilarious and somewhat exaggerating. well, but all these funny and exaggerated parts will tickle you and make one burst into laughters as you're watching. It's a public place though, and i kept to my composure. But inside me, i was tickled by those funny scenes.

So what's up after movie... Jasmine suggested going to arcade and she recommended me this newer version of Bishi Bashi game where players have to help each other to meet the scores so as to move on to the next stage. There's a total of 22 stages, but sadly, we didn't manage to clear all. i'm still a noob at this new game, trying to get the hang out of it.

Bento meal for dinner. Though we were not really hungry yesterday, but we just went inside Bento restaurant for a simple dinner meal. It was a nice chat with her yesterday over meal and a memorable day spent. we shall meet up again some other days, take care girl!:) ANnnnd put your heart and soul into work... tsktsk!

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (04.12.09)


Bit disappointed with this movie when i watched it with rachel yesterday. l felt that the story plot of twilight in the movie was nicer, but still, i like the characters (Edward Cullen, Bella, Jacob) Always love romance show since young and i definitely would not want to miss this Twilight Saga: New Moon which is screening on the 3rd of december. Actually, they do have some sneak previews before that which commenced on the 26th of November. Initially me and rachel intended to catch a twilight movie marathon of series one and two at Bishan's cinema which cost 24 bucks, accompanied with free popcorns and drinks. In the end, decided to give up this plan for it's rather expensive.

I wanna read this fantasy-romance novel (new moon) by author Stephenie Meyer during my leisure times...My brother had collection of all four books (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn) and he finished reading all?!? OMG! i'm gonna borrow it from him...

Speaking of story books, it has been long ever since i last sat down to read books the whole day. I've a few books in mind which i would like to read it during this semester break of mine. Books like "The Sister's Keeper", " New Moon" etc... (Who has My Sister's Keeper?)

Surprises

During the later part of the day, when me and rachel went orchard after our movie, i was caught by surprise when i bumped into jiaqi right outside the big O restaurant in paragon. By chance OR...?!?(laughs) It was actually premeditated by them. Appreciate their efforts:) And Thank YOU for celebrating my birthday with me in advance and the dinner treat at Chicago's steakhouse.

It was indeed a sumptuous & filling dinner treat by rach and jiaqi!

Not forgetting jenna as well, who gave me a small cutie soft toy as my birthday present.

K- PooL
So, what's for the night?!? Rachel suggested going for pool at cineleisure. No objection to it 'cause i'm kinda missed playing pool too.

A pity jiaqi left early, so i didn't manage to capture our full photos together.

Great time spent with them that friday. The whole day was lined up with activities with new moon, shopping for rach's shoes @ orchard, birthday celebration & surprises as well as k-pool. i'm kinda addicted to pool now and i'm soon going to play wf rach once again this coming thursday.

Love ya besties, hope to see your soon for our next outing:)

2012 prophecy The End Is Just The Beginning!

"2012" is an epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivor. This phenomenal and spectacular entertainment, directed by the director of the day after tomorrow and with cast crews like John Cusack, Amanda Peek, Chitwetel Ejiofor etc.

Two days ago, i went to watch this high-rated show with my brother at lot 1's shaw cinema. This was the second movie that we've watched this month. A couple of weeks ago, actually accompanied him to watch Michael Jackson's "This is it" Definitely for me, I prefer "2012" to "This is it". Not sure for him. 2012 is indeed a very exciting two and a half hrs' show. Trust me, you ought not to miss this show. Seriously, if this prophecy of the end of the world in 2012 is real, i wouldn't dare imagine how the whole world will turn out to be...

Thumbs up for this show and i would like to recommend to those who have not watched it. The next BIG SHOW that i'm looking forward to is "The Twilight Saga: New Moon". Looking forward to seeing Edward Cullen, Bella and Jacob on the big screen. 'Gonna watch it with rachel this coming friday!
