I thought I should start writing something, since the last entry was so many days back and frens have been asking me to update my blog.
It's not that I din wan to write more about my trip, but I believe pictures speaks more than a thousand words that I can write, so I shall save myself the hassle. (alrite, blame it on my laziness and inertia! :P)
Anyway, have been going out with parents and Ugin ever since I got back; capturing back the "Singapore feel" and the local 'air'; visiting each other's house to give his parents some of the goodies I bought from Taiwan and HK.
Caught 2 movies on Monday: MI3 and Da Vinci Code. I loved both movies!! I must say this 3rd installment of Mission Impossible was really not bad, kinda refuted to my usual skepticism on sequels ALWAYS being the worst than the initial movie. But the 3rd one by JJ Abrams really kept me on my seat upright throughout the show (major reason was because the audio system in Lido Cinema 6 was BLASTING my ear drums). As usual, Tom Cruise was still the main character. Jus when I thought he was REALLY goin to die towards the end, he revived again, when previously, he had ran a huge current through his body. I guess only Mr Cruise can manage such an amazing feat. :P
And the last time I finished reading the book by Dan Brown was eons ago.. probably 2 yrs back, when the fever of Da Vinci was at its height. Seriously, I didn't picture Tom Hanks to be Robert Langdon, neither is Audrey Tatou as Sophie Neveu. In the movie, solving anagrams seemed like it's just worthy enough for 2 pages of the book itself. Like by staring at the words "So dark the con of man", within like 5 seconds, the characters alr guessed which painting it was. I guess in a movie, a book that took days to finish has to be RUSHED abit to fit into a 2.5hr movie.
Anyway, it was entertaining nevertheless. Although the plot was controversial and has raised alot of concerns with Christians and Catholics around the world, I just see the movie as a form of fictional entertainment, that has probably a bit more non-fiction parts to it. Take it with a pinch of salt, it's just a movie :)
For the next few days, we went each other's house, went to town to settle our diving stuff and basically just kinda bummed around.. Didn't feel like doing anything. Been having loads of plans actually, but couldn't find the company to do it with me. Plans like taking up cable-skiing (saw it at ECP last Sunday, really cool!!), drums lessons, hip-hop dance classes at CC, finding ad-hoc jobs to earn extra cash.... Argh, I can't wait to do my LASIK asap. My surgery is smacked right in the middle of June, and I can't have any concrete plans for the short-term coz I'll need at least 2 weeks of good rest, and by then it'll be July already...
Time ALWAYS passes by very quickly... I'd better get my ass started..
