GST Offset Package

28 Weeks Later
Caught 28 Weeks Later at The Cathay, it is my first time watching movie there and the building is confusing and the carpark is bloody cramp and small. GV VivoCity still rocks.

Anyway, the show was quite average only, I think 28 Days Later was better, I wonder will there be 28 Months Later. It was not really a scary show but LiXiang being a penguin was scared to death and could not sleep the whole night. Don’t see her so fierce, but actually she is timid and the only thing she is not scared of is me!

Movie Blues

Spiderman 3
Caught Spiderman 3 at Lido with LiXiang and her friends after eating a Sushi buffet from Suki Sushi which is located at Cineleisure level 4. I think it will be my first and last time eating at Suki Sushi because the food there sucks. Sakae Sushi is so much better. I think among all the budget sushi eatery outlets, Sakae Sushi is still the best.

Spiderman 3 was damn boring, the action part was so short and plain, Spiderman 2 was way better. Lets hope if there is a Spiderman 4 it will be good. Because from my point of view, Spiderman 1 sucks, Spiderman 2 was ok, Spiderman 3 sucks and Spiderman 4 should be ok.

Crumpler Bags

Initially I wanted to get 2 Crumpler bags from a Mass Order (MO) in Hardwarezone. But it was a flock and I got my refund back. I paid promptly and some other faggots just refused to pay and back out suddenly when the organizer wanted to place order and ask them for money. The MO was not much cheaper anyway, it was also about 10% and I paid $280 for the 2 bags listed below.

Instead I got the Crumpler bags from the Crumpler store located at Raffles City. I got myself “The Part and Parcel (Blue) (PP01A)” for $216 and got for LiXiang “The Headaitch (L) (Brown) (HD0102A)” for $96. Used my brother Apple Card and get a 10% off total bill and it amounted to $279.90 which is 10 cents cheaper than from the MO. LOL

Exams Over

My exams are FINALLY OVER, never in life I am so stress about exams except in NUS. The competition is so high and the students here are like 10x smarter than you, which makes you 10x stupider.

My dad bought a NEW LCD TV. When my dad told me about it, I thought he was joking because he is seldom serious. I did not believe it till my mom show me the receipt from Best Denki. It is a Samsung 32″ inch LCD HD TV (LA32R71B). I think they are cleaning stocks as the model was quite outdated and they are selling for $1299, if I am not wrong and there are only 10 sets available per Best Denki outlet. This is the first time my family have bought a TV, my house got like 4 tvs and all 4 of them are either given by us or bought with gift vouchers. Even the first tv my family got was given by my uncle.

Room Makeover

My parents bought for my brother and I each a King Coil queen size bed. Our previous bed lasted us for 10 years and the bed frame lasted us for 16 years. The queen size bed cost about $500+ each and it came last Wednesday.

As the bed is pretty big and in order not to make my room looks cramp, I did a major rearrangement to all the furnitures in my room (CD rack, bookshelves, study table, computer table and television stand). I got rid of my old Ikea television stand and bought a new stand from Ikea for $19. I just love Ikea furnitures, it is cheap, good and nice looking. Who cares whether or not it is lasting because you will not use it for that long either. My mom also got 2 executive chairs for us to replace our old chair which lasted for more than 5 years.

Fracture

Queued up for the doughnuts at Vinco The Donut Parlour which is located at 2nd level of VivoCity before our movie. We queued for like 20 minutes and the doughnuts sucks. It taste so not fluffy and I think the doughnut went on diet. It is overhyped and we are queuing for the inefficiency of the management. Only 1 patethic sales person serving a long queue and there are like 6 people in the kitchen. The sales person has to go in the kitchen to check whether has a certain flavor of doughnut been made yet, so she will make at least 2 to 3 trips per customer, walking in, walking out. And while she is in the kitchen, the customer is there waiting. I can’t think of a better phrase to describe this than “a single core”. I think the management need to wake up its idea.

Caught Fracture on Sunday evening at GV Vivocity, the show is just average, as what LiXiang said, it is a silent triller, but often I think ahead of the movie like the outcome and in the case of this movie, it is quite predictable.

My Own Wiki

Just to follow the trend, I have installed Mediawiki into http://wiki.lesterchan.net/. For those who do not know what Mediawiki is, it is the exact same software that powers Wikipedia.

I intend to post some of my stuff there which requires modification often. The only valuable page that so far is my to-do list of my WordPress Plugins.
