Picked no. 8 for last weekend(well about 1month ago) , been watching movie almost every weekend nowadays. It get bored when the you keep repeating the activities and it cant keep your interest/focus on it. Most of the movie screened are just average, not much to talk about after watching.

Have you watch "Brave heart" , Passion of Christ" ?

Highly recommended "Apocalypto" !! Think the Cinema isnt screening this anymore, go get the DVDs man.

Which is better ?

juan pop me a msg awhile ago. Before going to that, thinking about this question,

and tat question "what do comes to your mind when you see "departed"

Well watched "The departed" on Saturday. For those who had watch Internal affair, the storyline is exactly the same with minimal different. I like the part where Matt Damon start a conversation with Vera Farmiga in/out the lift. Interesting pickup line and ending with a deep impression. I cant remember the conversation but the last move left a deep impression. Imagine a guy trying to check you out, you guys started an interesting conversation. Before the lift door close, he pass his namecard to your hands and 1.5 second later, "hey I m kidding, I need that card" cya. Will this guy leave a deep impression to you ? Yes, for me ? why I still remember the scene now =D.

Movies @ Golden Village

I m not a movie fanatic, but I do catch movies with a couple of friends over the weekends (used to catch movie regularly every Saturday, sometimes it's for the seek of doing something. Normally it's mid-night movie so we could sit down and chit chat over supper after the movie.)

Talking about movie, let us side track abit from what I intend to share,
1) Do you watch movie alone ? Well I watch movie alone BUT when I m at home. I feel weird watching it alone in the cinema.

2) Do you rent Movie DvDs and gather a group of friends to watch it at your house instead. Well you better provide good screening, sound, snacks, space, Air-condition. I think it's cost-effective, renting a DvD for a day for about 3-5 bucks, if you get 5 friends over, you will be saving ($9.5X6=$57, $57-$5 for DvD rental) $52!! IMAGINE how much snacks/drinks you can pay. If you watch the mid night shows like me, it helps to save the cab fares too -you can stay overnight at your friend's house. Lastly, you can pause the show if nature calls. Great !

Alright here's the info,
Got to know about this promotion awhile back but didnt really try it until today. The Safra Membership discount on Golden Village movie tickets. You get to save a dollar for each ticket(s) purchase.


So if you plan to watch movies at Golden Village why not look around for friends with safra membership and enjoy the discount. Get 6 person and you could use the saving to buy a combo meal =D.

How do I use the discount ?

Jacky Chan new block buster film, "Rob-B-Hood" Got high expectation for it, been a long long time since the last time I watched his film.

Miami Vice

Well first thing that came to my mind, those cops are earning good man, Why ? Ferrari with nitro!

Next is gong li, despite her age, she still possess the charm and sexiness.

Pretty neat idea - They used a private jet to smuggle the goods. In order to avoitid the destination country air space radar detection, the pliot, maintain the jet litude just below an official aircraft. On the radar, the two dots(representing the aircraft) sync.

shop & movie

HapPy Birthday!! to my country, Singapore and my bro. Wanted to get a backpack for my bro since he has been using my bag for the past months. He's rarely go out for shopping on clothes/bags/shoe. I understand most guys hardly do shopping but at least buy those items you need man. Some people give excuses like no time, no $$ for buying things that consider "need". Well it will be a long topic to dwell on.

Went to bugis with fox to browse for baggy, he's looking for those professional sling bag too. But couldnt find he's like at the end of the day. oh ya, here's the new shop of andrew's & co.



Fox in VIP room, oh he's on standby and answering calls on a Saturday. Well standby sux, but that what ahead of me starting Sep =


Time for MAKAN!!! Dinner. Went to the "Zheng Zhong Chong Qing Huo Guo", steamboat. Pretty crowded over there man. They have good variety of food and free flow drinks(only lime and sour pulm). It would be better,if the watermelon were ice cold =D. Overall rating 3.5/5



Ending the day with a movie, "Click" wonderful show. Working hard for the family is great but do leave some attention for them too. Need to learn about balancing work and family. How to do that? Ask those who have done it. Final note, it's good to do regular feedback to your day's actions when you are calm and relax. Sometime things might be overwhelm in your head and you reacted without thinking.
