Shroud of Darkness

A lot of things running through my head recently...
clouding almost every aspect of my life...
one thing keeps appearing in my head...
a drug i can't live without...
every nite b4 i sleep...
every morning after i open my eyes...
without it i'd die...
yearning for it...
desperately struggling for it...
a drug addict...

happiness... sadness... fear... enthusiam... excitement... worries...
blended into a black beverage of darkness...
listening to this song...
though i do not understand...
but only this song be able to soothe me...

much to blog...
but nothing to blog...
nothing is worth blogging...

MRT : Old Meets New

Taking the train home todae...
noticed something queer...
can't refrain myself from snapping a shot at it...
how long has it been?
we almost forgot how u looked liked...
so much u had changed...
over the years...
over a decade...
back to the time when NEL is inexistant...
when there is no such thing as Expo and Changi Airport Stations...
when City Hall and Raffles Place is a web of confusing rainbow...

Notice the one wif NEL on the bottom right?

A clearer whole picture...

whoever put dat up there must be a new bird or a trainee...
or even... maybe he's not Singaporean...
only this carriage is wrong...
the rest are all correct... O_o
hmmm...

oh ya...
anyway...
read Aron's blog...
since he doesn't have a tag board... i shall post here... XD
u always get stuck in toilets?
how come i never experienced it? LOL...
must be you... HAHAHA!!! XD

A date for valentine's day?

Valentine's dae is coming soon...
feeling lonely?
need some dates?
i have some dates here for everyone...
there's more dan enough... so dun rush... XD

Dates for everyone... with no extra charge!!! XD

WAHAHAHAHA!!!

Shocking day at work

Went to work for 1 dae todae...
den tomoro off again... LOL!!!
so it's a bit crap to go work 1 dae and den off again...
BUT!!!
we're lucky we went to work todae...
if not... on Mondae... we'll die the most tragic death you could ever think of...

the worst thing dat could happen to any kitchen happened to us todae...
went to work...
went to the freezer...
O_o
HOLY DEFROSTED LAMB SHANKS!!!
the freezer is down... O_o
the entire freezer is thawed...
and judging from the condition of the thawed meat and stuff...
i'd sae the freezer spoilt 2 daes ago...
not a single ice cube can be found in the freezer... O_o

some of the meat are spoilt...
but most are salvaged...
so we're lucky we went to work todae...
if not... 5 daes... and we enter the kitchen on Mondae...
all items in the freezer... confirm 100% gone...
den hell will break lose...
all the angus steaks... lamb racks... Mondae set lunch items... foie gras... will all be gone...

so todae... come back clean the freezer...
settle 5 pax...
and go home...
tomoro another dae off... XD
happiness...
wanna watch CJ7...

CNY Day 2

Went to my mother's side todae...
$44...
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......
total up wif yesterdae...
only $136
-_-
lesser and lesser by the year...
i dun wanna noe how much i'll get next year...
maybe less dan $100... :(

so wat did we do todae?
nothing much...
juz went to my mother's side to collect ang pows...
and lunch there...

realised Singapore is indeed very small...
my cousin is actually working in Hotel Pan Pacific...
and noes Ting... XD
wahahaha...
we are all inter-linked...

starting work tomoro...

Kung Fu Dunk

1st dae of CNY...
as usual... went to my father's side for ang pow exchange...
a miserable $92
including my parents...

ang pow getting lesser and lesser...
what used to be $10... $20...
became $2... $4... -_-
imagine after opening all ang pows...
i got 5 $10 notes only...
and 21 $2 notes... -_-
so sad...

oh well...
went to my aunt's house to play blackjack...
small bets though...
which in the end... i won $8... WAHAHAH!!!
coz all dun wanna bet big...
so bo pian... XD
but still... $8 is still extra money... :)

went watching Kung Fu Dunk wif my cousins and brothers at Cineleisure...
watched the midnight movie...
1 word...
VERY computer graphics...
all the dunking moves...
like an exact replica of those basketball game moves...
story a bit lame...
but still... not too bad...
a little touchy ending... but not touching enough...
for me... at least...

movie mainly on basketball competitions...
and focusing mainly on the dunkings...
dat's pretty much wat u r watching the movie for...
average movie to me though...
3.5/5

Ah Long Pte. Ltd.

Watched Ah Long Pte. Ltd. on CNY eve...
so here goes...

it's those usual Jack Neo films...
where u could actually predict wat's gonna happen...
well... all his movies are almost the same...
if u watch all his movies and the TV programme "Gao Xiao Xing Dong"
and ALL his productions...

so this movie...
is actually...
kinda lame...
lamishly funny though...
from start to end...
u juz laugh at lame scenes...
quite good... it actually keeps u entertained through the movie...
psst... some ppl dun like it... XD
that's y ZZZzzzzzz......

anyway...
to me... i feel it's kinda nice a movie though...
BASED ON all Jack Neo's productions...
it's improving...
be it story line or graphics... or sound...
it definately improved a lot since No Money No Talk...
however... if u'd compare it to ang mo movies...
he still got a loooooooooooooooooooong way to go...

Mark Lee put in quite a lot of effort into his Malaysian accent though...
so much it sounds exactly like a Malaysian speaking...
even CK's accent can't beat his... LOL!!!

if ur a fan of Jack Neo...
u should watch this movie...
it not... u'll hate it like the rest of Jack Neo's productions...

if i were to rate this movie based on all Singapore film productions...
it'd score quite a lot...
but i'll rate it based on an individual movie itself...
so...
3.5/5
