Mission Impossible III
I caught Mission: Impossible III on Saturday at GV Grand and it wasn't bad, better than MI:2, though rather short. They never explained what the Rabbit's Foot is, nor how Ethan Hunt got into the building to retrieve it.
Blog
Personal posts and the diary I have kept since 2002: birthdays, year-in-reviews, milestones, and whatever is on my mind.
The Wild
We had dinner at the usual pasta stall outside Ngee Ann City. We then caught The Wild at Orchard Cineleisure; it had been a while, and the place has changed a lot since I last visited.
Cafebiz
We celebrated our one-and-a-half years yesterday at Cafebiz in Traders Hotel. I used a SingTel birthday voucher for 20% off the brunch buffet. The spread was quite good with plenty of variety.
Art, Design & Media
Li Xiang got into Art, Design & Media at NTU and Computing at NUS, and she'll choose ADM. She offered to take NUS Computing so we could study together; of course I'd love that, but I can't be selfish.
Ice Age 2 And Ultraviolet
I caught Ice Age 2: The Meltdown on Friday midnight at GV Grand, a 90-minute film that's quite good and very funny, better than the first. I also caught Ultraviolet, an over-the-top action movie running just 88 minutes.
She Got Into NUS Computing
Just want to share that Li Xiang also got into NUS Computing, the same course as me, so I'm thrilled! She's now waiting for her NTU letter. I think the NTU BFA suits her better, though. Congrats, dear!
The Bodyshop Crazy
We celebrated Chan's birthday at Kushin-Bo, Suntec, and this time didn't eat ourselves too full. A PA voiceover sounded just like Jackey; did you try working part-time there, ha! Hope the custom-designed tee is to your liking.
My 22nd Birthday
Today marks my 22nd birthday, the fourth birthday of GaMerZ HomePage and 17 months with Li Xiang; good things always seem to fall on the 24th. I celebrated with my INTEC friends yesterday eating pizza at Singapore Discovery Centre.
V For Vendetta
Set in a futuristic Britain, the people are ruled by a strong government that instils fear over what they say and do. V, the iconic masked hero, urges the public to rise up against the regime.
Morning “Rush”
With a tender proposal due midday, I stayed overnight in the office formatting the reports. It really annoyed me when she asked whether I had nothing on tonight. Formatting a proposal is the most tedious, time-consuming task.
IT Show 2006
IT Show 2006 ran for four days, and I went on three of them. The first was with Li Xiang, when we bought a hidden item for my brother's 17th birthday on 28th March, costing $129.
Blog Reading
Today is all about blog reading. I've been so busy on weekends catching up on what's left undone, so hopping from blog to blog is a luxury. Sadly, reading updated blogs often disappoints.
Botanic Garden
I took my faculty test on Saturday at NTU and saw familiar faces like Karen, Han Jie, Zhi Fan, Seetoh and Lincoln. The test ran about 90 minutes with five questions. Pei Jun had shown me the room before.
Final Destination 3
I caught Final Destination 3 yesterday at GV Grand and it was quite good, though not linked to the first two parts. The way people die is as gross as before, and poor Li Xiang couldn't sleep afterwards.
Summary Of Budget Report 2006
A summary of Budget 2006: cash for all adult Singaporeans, with $800 if you earn $24,000 or less and live in a four-room or smaller HDB flat, $600 for higher earners in such flats, and $400 above that.
IT Show 2006
I'm looking forward to the next computer exhibition! IT Show 2006 runs from 9th to 12th March 2006, noon to 9pm, on Level 3, Level 4 (Halls 401 to 404) and Level 6 (Halls 601 to 603).
Valentine’s Day
Belated Valentine's Day wishes to all. I was too tired to write the card, so I drafted it at the office. Sorry, dear; I found out you're sending flowers to my office, so no more surprises now!
ATI Radeon X800 Pro
On Friday I went to my cousin's birthday dinner at Marina Square's Yuki Yaki, and the food is so much better than three years ago. It's now self-service with free-flow DIY ice cream, rather than the old plate-by-plate buffet service.
Portfolio
I've been rushing my NTU admission portfolio. On Thursday I hurried to Paradiz Centre to get it wire-bound, withdrew cash at the ATM, took my card but forgot the money, only realising after a cab ride there.
Donations
I spend about three hours a day fixing and improving my WordPress plugins. If you like them and my fast support, please consider donating to me. Thank you! You can do so by visiting my site's donation page.
Lucky Draw
Yesterday I went to an OCBC dinner with my mom at Grand Shanghai. The food was rather lousy, but the activities were cool, with sketching, fan painting and trishaw photos. My mom did a fan painting while we queued.
Fearless And I Not Stupid Too
I caught Fearless on the second day of Lunar New Year, and it's easily Jet Li's best film in years. I still think he suits wuxia movies more than modern-day fighting ones. It's also touching towards the end. Highly recommended.
