## Vantage Point – 20th March 2008

Caught Vantage Point on Thursday at GV VivoCity. Personally, I find the movie is nice but I know of others who do not like the movie at all due to the repetition. I love how they tried to bring the message across to the audience based on different perspective. I love how they leave a cliff hanger at the end of each perspective and visiting it back later at the next perspective. I think back in 2005, [Hoodwinked](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443536/) also uses this method. ## 24th Birthday Celebration – 21st March 2008

Celebrated my 24th birthday with Li Xiang at Mandarin Oriental’s Melt, The World Cafe, on Good Friday. The buffet dinner is S$70.00 per head on weekends and public holidays. Ordered an additional 2 glasses of pineapple juice and after paying the bill, I realise it is S$12.00 per glass. The total bill amounted up to S$164 and the tax and service charge alone is S$29.03. Ended up paying S$193.05. The next buffet we are going to try shall be The Line at Shangri La.

## Birthday Presents

Li Xiang bought for me quite a number of presents this time round. It is meant for my birthday plus valentine’s day present. I got a [Penguin Soft Toy](http://www.shiningstars.com/), a little illustrations book entitled “[The Secret Of Love](http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Love-Sarah-Burg/dp/069840050X/ref=sr_11_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1206260397&sr=11-1)“, a Superman T-shirt (she also bought the same one for herself) and a [Arnold Palmer](http://www.arnoldpalmer.com/) Polo T-shirt. I also gave her an evening purse which is meant for Valentine’s Day. I bought it before Valentine’s Day but she do not want to accept it because her Valentine’s Day present for me is not ready.

**Thank you dear for your wonderful presents**. Promise me not to spend so much next time ok?  
**Thank you to my brother and Huimin for the Lacoste Polo T-shirt**.

Here are some photos taken using my [Nokia N82](http://www.nokia.com.sg/A4767064). I have not used any digital camera to take pictures ever since I got hold of the N82.
