Howdy, I just watched Wall E with SY & SQ this morning.
I must say I was impressed.
I didn't know quite what to expect.
But it was an enjoyable movie.
Very funny.
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Go watch it yourself!
Also had dinner with Shaun & Friends.

Strawberry Smile - Taken off flickr
Its quiet...
Deafening quiet in the office.
The school is deserted, due to the HOLIDAYS!
If I was a student, I'll be jumping for joy!
Holidays, I look forward to them always!
But I'm a working young adult (emphasis on the young part)!
I enjoy the spacious bus seat compared to cramp corner next to the door.
Cause there are nil/almost nil students competing for the same seat!!
Anyway, let's talk about meeting Dave.
I met Princess after work yesterday.
Shared a Strawberry Smile with her.
Had a quick LJS dinner. (I notice LJS don't have veggies!!)
Met Dave @ Cathy CWP
Its a funny movie, not quite as lame as The Love Guru.
I laughed my head off at the awkward responses Eddie Murphy delivered trying to pose as a human (Wait, he is Human, So he is acting like a Alien acting to be Human!)
Enjoyable Comedy with a tinge of romance.
Loads of funny.
Decent Graphics.
Clean storyline. (No nitty gritty details to confuse you)
I give it a 4 out of 5 Stars! (Watch it Dude!)
Enjoyable Buniversary!
Movie Posters (The Mummy 3 Tomb of the Dragon Emperor) Vs (Money No Enough 2)
Wow, its the month of August already??
Time sure flies, on the 29th of this month I'll be leaving my current job.
By Sept I'll be enlisted and whisked away to do National Service.
Less & Less time to train up for army.
This week I'm thankful for many things.
One of them is being able to help-out in the Eco-flea Market.
It's a chance to save the earth (recycle), make new friends and even do charity work.
At the same time, I'm also paid for work. LOL!
I saved a Pikachu & Charmander from the trash bin.
After which, I played one of those Big Sweet Land Machines and won
~Pikachu
~Pooh Bear in Tiger Suit
~2 Esso Tiger Cubs, (Kitties!)
Now I have a nice family of soft toys adorning my office desk.
I;m just glad that God has watched over this week and made it well.
Especially on Wed, where I had to hand in my Time-sheet (for work)
Buy A Cake for Shaun (Happy Birthday Shaun!)
Attend 144 Leaders Meeting.
All this in a short time span of 1 hour.
It was a miracle I managed to make it to the meeting .
There I was blessed to see Pastor Poh saved food for others & I!
Then I was asked to scan my IC for attendance.
Strangely I was never told to do so before...
Blessed week!
*All rise for the Board*
~Boardroom members enter through stage left
~Makes their way to their seats
~Everybody sits down together.
Today I attended a school board meeting.
The only reason why I was there was because I was helping out with the event.
It certainly was an eye opener.
~Being introduced to the new principal.
~Listening to industry terms I never quite heard before, L3 pay??
~Listening to the new P's vision
- Making sure RP Students & Graduates have the same chance to compete for jobs and places in university as other Polytechnic students.
The entire system, which I went through was being dissected and discussed before my very ears. The angle and depth which was used for the discussion was on an entirely different level from a student's viewpoint such as me. I'm Enlightened.
Sadly, the good thing there is also a bad thing.
The discussion was made possible by the directors and assistant directors.
It was also because of them that everything there was sophisticated.
Till such a point that they probably didn't notice the helpers around.
The again, some people go by the standard, no news is good news.
Hence no notice means everything went well... (I hope)
It would be nice, if they bothered to mingle with the staff helping out.
Oh well, wishful thinking.
Oh, The Dark Knight was nice!

Dear Bloggy,
Its been a while since I posted till now.
Within that time, I've went through quite a bit.
Watching of 2 movies,
-Get Smart
-Wanted
Both which were excellent. Thought I believe that WANTED was pretty good a 4/5 stars.
Get Smart gets a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Thats Good already!
During the short time.
I've also switched Jobs back to the school I came from.
Well, despite me being pretty much lost in the office.
I'm pretty much content in what I would be getting and doing.
Managed to see the President up close today.
They distributed clappers which were exceedingly difficult to inflate.
Ended up waving without em. Hrump...
Smiley friendly-looking president waved back!
Probably might watch Dark Knight later this evening.
Hopefully it doesn't end too late and I'm not too tired.
That's about all for this post.

Trailer From "The Happening" by M. Night Shyamalan.
Picture From "The Happening 2" @ UOB Tower 37 Floor
(From Left: Myself, Sin & Ben)
Clearly From the Trailer & Picture, Things have been happening for me this week.
Mon & Tues had no work, and I had time to go out with Princess! On Monday, Princess & I went downtown to Orchard, there we walked to Ngee Ann City to look for her Ripples Slippers. Unfortunately, there were none that caught my princess's eye.
Walking over to Cineleisure, we had lunch at BK followed by a Arcade Session of Para Para. I can't dance as well as Hui Qi, but I managed to get a "B" Rank!
We were preyed upon by a choco selling auntie and ended up buying Princess's First Truffle. She pretty much enjoyed licking her fingers for leftover choco.
Headed south to Plaza Sing, then further south to Esplanade, then to City Hall MRT.
Tues was spent with Princess again, having ice cream @ Swensens and going off after dinner to meet Fauzi for some entrepreneur talk...
On Wed, I went to Clementi to fetch Princess after work to go Bugis to eat 1 Ton Mee (It was a rather heavy lunch) & Yellow Fellas (Fries that were yellow, OMG a green fry) & Steamed Tapioca (Hot Tapiocas in Coconut Milk, Creamy).
Reached PR & Played the Rcade @ Downtown East before watching "The Happening."
Movie was overall quite depressing, people dying.
There were also funny parts
~Talking to Plants
~Ppl dropping off building (Sadistic... But Funny!)
Somehow, the plot didn't quite make sense to me, it wasn't explained either, but I liked the way developed and wrapped up. Overall, 2.5 out of 5 Stars...
Well, the week has been fun.
Apart from having no work.
No exercise either.
Mai entering Army.
I met up with SY & SQ for Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian!
The movie was interesting, quite the Disney Blockbuster its supposed to be.
The story is about some bunch of humans invading Narnia.
The evil warlord has his own son & tries to claim the throne.
He hates inhabitants of Narnia (Magical folk).
Prince Caspian almost gets killed off & blows the horn.
The sons of Adam & Eve return.
Make an alliance with Prince Caspian.
Fight Evil Warlord & Fail Miserably.
Get Aslan the lion to help. (Secret Weapon)
Lion has supersonic roars & can summon treants & water elementals.
What I like most about this movie.
Is the punchlines,
Susan - "You keep the horn, you might need to call me"
Dwarf - "I am an adult..."
And much more!
The Transition effects are spectacular too!
Transiting from Narnia to the real world.
All it takes is a camera span and they return.
Really good effects there, seamless and smooth.
I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Enjoy your movie! Go Watch
I met the guys at Tamp, to take a train down to City Hall.
Then we walked to Marina Square to buy tickets.
Following which we went to have a buffet at Hanabi!
A 10+ dish dinner!
Crab Roe Sushi
Fried Prawn Roll
Miso Soup
Wakame Udon
Tempura
Tempanyakki Chicken
Tempanyakki Salmon
Cha Soba
Unagi Rice
Tamago & Unagi Sushi
Hairy Crab Sushi
Ice Cream (Lemon Sorbert)
Thanks SQ & SY!
After that ultra filling meal, I went to watch Indiana Jones with them.
It was summer blockbuster so I guess it was alright.
I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
~***Spoiler Alert***~
Story goes Indy gets kidnapped and brought to Area 51.
He identifies a mysterious object.
Kidnappers try to make away with object.
Indy tries to get it back, instead ends up on a rocket.
Rocket brings him to Nuclear test site.
Where he fortunately finds a lead lined refrigerator.
Mushroom Cloud appears!
So far, the through the fast paced movie, I was able to link most parts together.
There wasn’t a fast forward, backward, present, forward, backward again flashbacks like in Speed Racer.
The humor level matches that of Iron man.
I really enjoyed the way Indy Jr gets his way out of situations.
Eg.1 He punches a jock and the greasers (leather jackets) come support him, fight and confusion results, allowing him to slip away.
Indy himself is funny.
Eg.2 Thrown a snake and asks people to tell him it’s a rope
Eg.3 Blowing a blowpipe the wrong way, killing the blower.
Overall, 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Enjoy!

Dear Bloggy,
What a way to spend Labor Day, in bed?
Let's return to Day 1,
Day 1 (Tuesday)
Rushed to work in the morning at a isolated place in the east. It was some factory hidden behind a bunch of other factories. Finished work then went home to ZZZ.
*Buzz* Phone goes off, Message received,
Congratulations, you won yourself a pair of tickets to watch the premier of Iron Man! Pick up tickets at Lido Cinema 7-730, Movie @ 940.
*Wakes up*
Huh, really, no way!
*Speed Dials Princess*
HelloIwonapairofmovieticketstoseeironmanthiseveningwanttocome?
*Princess*
Huh?? Slow Down, I can't hear you.
*Guy who won iron man preview tickets*
Hi, I just wanted to ask if you would like to watch Iron Man for free this evening.
*Princess*
Of course, what time and where?
*XD Guy*
[Fill in the Details here...]
Anyway, I went off to queue for Ben & Jerry's Free Ice Cream Day, Every 29 Apr. Somehow, the queue snaked its way around Whitesands, and when I ended up near the entrance, I kept getting hit by aunties and uncles trying to pass... Sighs, do I look like a gateway or passage way to you? Anyway, the wait was worth it, free ICE!! Princess came in time to jump the queue and get her Ice too!
Every 29th Apr
On Him:Chunky Monkey
On Her: Choco Fudge Brownie
After that, we had tea break, 
Drinking Coffee/Tea Mix
Eating mango pudding
Went to watch the movie, deposited our phones, joined the queue at 9, then was seated at 930, movie started officially at 10. Movie was good! Quirky and enjoyable! 4 out of 5 stars!
Day 2 (Wednesday Super Early Morning)
Came out past midnight, no more MRTs, so I took a cab home. Gave my princess some cash to ride her own cab home, sorry nia, I can't send her home, midnight surcharge would kill me before I reached my own home.
Day 2 (Wednesday Morning)
Didn't get much sleep before reporting for work at 645 at KK Hosp for a health screening. Was literally a zombie with a cold at work. Went home to ZZZ.
That's how I spent Labor Day holiday sleeping the day away.
Dear Bloggy,
I just returned from watching "Forbidden Kingdom" with SQ & SY. It was an alright movie, as far as Kung Fu was concerned. However, the plot failed terribly.
Plot Summary:
American Kid (Codename: Traveler) is a Kung Fu Movie Lover. He visits this antique shoppie in Chinatown to buy videos, on his way back, he chats up some girls from a gang. The gang guys beat up Traveler and get him to lead them to rob the antique shop. Gang robs the store and shoots owner, Traveler escapes with ancient rod and returns to the past.
Traveler ends up in ancient China, meets up with Lu Yan (Jackie Chan). Jackie tells him about the prophecy of Monkey God's rod getting returned to imprisoned Monkey God and restoring peace to the land. On the way they meet up with pretty girl (Codename: Golden Sparrow) and Silent Monk (Jet Li) to get the rod to Monkey God at 5 Element Mountain to fight Jade Warlord.
Monkey God gets rod, bish bash baddie, kick American Kid back to future. The End.
Some highlights (spoiler alert)
Every Chinese guy/gal in Ancient China speaks perfect English (complete with grammar and tenses check)
Jackie Shouts "You aren't listening" and starts speaking English throughout the show
Silent Monk wasn't quite silent, he could scold "Stupid" & starts talking loads.
The Amazing Jing Gu Bang (Monkey God's Cudgel) which was supposed to weigh loads could be carried by anyone [it used to support the sea bed before it was used by Monkey God]
Lu Yan (Drunken Immortal) got pissed on
Lu Yan request Running instead of Walking Monk
In the fight of the 2 teachers, "The Traveller" got super pinched on the neck, head and chest (won't be surprised if he became well endowed in the chest)
The Golden Sparrow speaks in third person, another marvel in ancient China.
Well, besides the punch-lines and fantastic Kung Fu Moves, the movie fared miserably in the plot and adaptation to folklore. It's more of a stereotypical adaptation of the Journey to the West.
2 Popcorns - Watch it for the action, not story.
