The Island, Stealth
I caught The Island last Sunday at GV Grand, a good film set in the future with very cool gadgets, especially the table-sized tablet PC, which I'll get when it's available. It's about human cloning.
Blog
Personal posts and the diary I have kept since 2002: birthdays, year-in-reviews, milestones, and whatever is on my mind.
Fantastic 4
I caught War of the Worlds last week at GV Plaza, about 150 minutes long. The start was okay, but the ending rather sucked. It's quite similar to Half-Life 2, with three-legged machines destroying cities, but full marks for creativity.
Batman Begins
I caught Batman Begins last week at GV Plaza, around 150 minutes. It was good, the best Batman film yet, and a sequel is confirmed, set to introduce the Joker. We also celebrated our eighth month together at Kuishin-bo.
Mr & Mrs Smith
I watched Mr & Mrs Smith at GV Jurong Point, around two hours. It was funny and worth a watch, though as with all action movies the stars dodge every bullet. My favourite line: Honey, you missed.
Fujitsu Notebook S6240
I finally bought a notebook at PC Show 2005, the first customer for the Fujitsu S6240 at $3,488. Free gifts included an extra 512MB DDR2 RAM, a Bluetooth USB adapter, a USB phone charger and an optical mouse.
Madagascar
I caught Madagascar at GV Grand on Saturday afternoon, an unlucky day as the ticketing system was down and they couldn't check our seats. They asked us to print tickets at the AXS station, but the card wouldn't fit.
Star Wars: Episode III
I caught Star Wars: Episode III yesterday at GV Marina, two hours and 20 minutes long. It was good; I've only seen episodes 2 and 3, but I quite like the storyline, two thumbs up.
XXX2: The Next Level
I watched XXX2: The Next Level at GV Grand on Labour Day, an excellent action-packed show living up to XXX1. If you want storyline, though, give it a miss. I also caught Divergence, which was poor.
The Pacifier
Last Friday we watched The Pacifier at GV Jurong Point, our first midnight show. It was quite good, with some lame but funny parts; I loved the panda dance. Last week was a pasta week for me.
House Of Fury
I watched House of Fury the Friday before last, a good kung fu action movie, and personally I found it better than Kung Fu Hustle. I also received three letters, one from NTU confirming I qualify.
21st Birthday Party
Thanks to all my friends and relatives for coming, and for the presents and hong baos. Thanks to my family, especially my mom, for all the preparation, and thanks, dear, for the lovely card you made me.
I Turned 21 Today
At the stroke of midnight I turned 21, finally no longer a teenager but officially an adult, though sadly still slaving for the nation. Good things come in threes too: I'm 21, and this site turned a milestone today.
Robots
I watched Robots at GV Jurong Point, a good show even if the story is very fast-paced. It involves far more laughter than The Incredibles and is a must-watch if you're after a good laugh.
2 Movies In A Row
I watched Hitch at GV Marina on Sunday, starting at 1.30pm, and it's worth a good laugh. It ended at 3.45pm, and Li Xiang asked if I was thinking what she was, which set off watching another, Lemony Snicket.
Its March 2005
Time flies; it's now March 2005, and in exactly 22 days I turn 21. I caught Constantine, quite an interesting show, though some parts near the end were very lame, worth a laugh.
Deeply Touched
We went to Suntec City to celebrate our first Valentine's Day and bumped into Alvin and Jie Lin. Suntec was packed, with long queues everywhere, so we settled on Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Wishing all couples a very Happy Valentine's Day. A Class 95 discussion on relationships struck me, especially one listener's line: I have learnt to shut up if I have nothing better to say.
Happy Lunar New Year 2005
Wishing all Chinese a happy and prosperous Lunar New Year. I have to mount camp tomorrow and dismount only on the second day of the new year, which is a bit of a downer for the festivities.
Shall We Dance
It's been a while since I last blogged. I watched Shall We Dance yesterday, quite a good and at times touching film, not really romantic but worth a watch with your partner. I also caught Elektra, another so-so Marvel movie.
Dad’s Nokia 6230
I still can't pass my chin-up, so I have remedial training daily from 2pm to 4pm at the Gombak Recreation Centre gym. It's actually a decent two-hour break from work, except on mounting days.
The Phantom of Opera
On Friday I caught a 9.20pm screening of The Phantom of the Opera at GV Marina, my first musical movie. Perhaps that's why the singing instead of dialogue made it harder for me to follow what was going on.
Its 2005
It's 2005, and I had a memorable countdown at the Mindef Main Gate. Li Xiang was meant to wake at 9am for a noon haircut at HarbourFront; I called to rouse her, but she dozed off again until 11.30am.
