Vivo City Outing Day~ Tuesday, October 31, 2006 9:00 PM finally went to vivo city after much anitcipation and delays.. but there was a little disappointment bcoz not only that there's still some stores that are not opened for biz yet (it's quite normal coz the official opening is on 1 Dec), the place is like a maze when u dun haf a directory on hand.. me n lin were like "fools" trying to find certain stores or even the correct escalator leading to the correct place.. but of coz not all is bad.. at the least the Toys"R"us is big enough to make both adults n kids happy...
found this poster on one of the stores under renovation...
to end this.. happy halloween.. =P
Food Fest~ Sunday, October 29, 2006 10:54 AM had a very wonderful thai meal ytd.. the thought of it now still makes me drool.. haha.. ting recommended this place at Purvis Street.. if u look at the so-called "restaurant", the decor inside is just like any eatery house with no air-con BUT when the food comes everything is worth it.. they dun really mark-up their prices soo high that u find it expensive and most important of all they do not have service charges.. hehe
the menu is quite unique in the way that it's not just a booklet of papers or paper being laminated.. they got nice pictures wor.... of coz in the meantime waiting for our food to be served, the 3 "hiao" girls have to take pictures with the help of "xiao yi" as our photographer... and ta-dah~ the dishes that we've ordered.. squid in sweet and sour sauce, balachan rice, tom yum seafood soup (FAV!), mango salad, olive rice, kang kong veggie... i've got to admit that we ordered too much for 4 people... the dishes look small in the photos but it's enough to burst 4 stomachs...
Sekai no chushin de, ai wo sakebu Tuesday, October 24, 2006 12:16 AM ![]() In a small regional town in 1980s southern Japan, Sakutaro "Saku" Matsumoto and Aki Hirose, who were classmates all through junior high school, become high school students and then fall in love with one another. They share audio diaries, go on excursions together, and enjoy summer vacation. However, Aki soon finds herself suffering from leukemia and beings to weaken day by day, rendering her unable to see Saku or go outside. Saku, desperate to take Aki to Uluru (Ayer's Rock) in Australia (the "Center of the World" in the Japanese title), a place she had wished to go to, desperately tries to achieve just that. Aki dies before ever boarding the plane, and Saku is left to live out his life without her. 17 years later, as an older, sombre Saku trudges through everyday existence, the last tape of Aki's audio diary is suddenly unearthed, leading Saku back to his hometown in the south, and back into his memories of his last days with Aki. ============================= finally i get to watch this j-movie... sweet, sad and heart-warming movie... to some it might be rather boring or slow-moving in the beginning bcoz it's mostly the "memories" of sakutaro and aiki.. but it's worth watching from the beginning till the end coz only then u'll capture the full essence of the movie.. maybe i should go n watch the korean version of this movie starring Song Hye Gyo and Cha Tae Hyun entitled "My Girl and I" am rather curious how well the koreans managed all the emotions in the story.. note: the movie theme song "Hitomi wo Tojite" sung by Hirai Ken is wonderful..
the inefficient govt sector.. Monday, October 23, 2006 3:58 PM am rather pissed now bcoz i've had my ear stuck to my handphone dialing the same number and listening to the same operator talking the same sentences for 1hour and still counting (coz i'm still trying to get to a human nt MACHINES)
i have no idea why it's so hard to get to a human in that place.. calling the main line trying to get the customer service officer concludes to only one sentence, "thank you for holding.. our customer service officers are still busy you may continue to hold or call back later".. even if i call the direct line the MACHINE still directs me to voicemail after 1 hour... just wat rubbish is this??? and this is nt the first time i've called!!! the previous time i've tried calling also has the same results... ARGH!!!
why there's no updates... Wednesday, October 18, 2006 3:32 PM reason to why there's no updates for almost half a month is there's nth interesting that happened.. all those that happened revolve around lecture notes, recommended text, tutorials and studying for test.. it sux truly bcoz the damn test module is macroeconomics..
the test is like tmr and i'm thinking whether i shld give it a miss (a very huge part of me wants to skip the test, the insignificant part of me wants to give it a try)... u must be thinking chin will skip test?!?!?! yeah that's rare but since it does not contribute to my final assessment marks, i do not wish to give the lecturer a big headache by submitting rubbish answers or rather demoralise myself by taking the test.. haha... the decision i've made is i shall scan thru the notes later and tmr morning... if i ever get to see the qns and i noe how to ans it i will do it.. if i don't sayonara.. hehe... the guilty part of me says i'm a bad girl... |
