    172 of us walking 3km

    View from the middle of the bridge i guess
    Quite Windy
    We got chased away while sitting here
    B4 going off

    Birds Eye View

    My office from the Bridge


    Dor & I

    Singhealth's Annual A.C.T.I.V.E day at Hort Park, enjoyed myself apart fm the ugly blisters i got fm walking in Heals. I didnt read the email properly which said we had to walk 3 km. I went in heals which left me with 3 blisters. And there after I even went to school and later Bugis to agravate my wounds further. It was truly awful and I am gonna lie low for a while now from my heals.

    Hort Park, the shortened term for Horticulture Park, is the National Park Board’s latest ‘hot’ place in the Southern Ridges to visit in Singapore. This 23-hectare plot of land off Alexandra Road is a ‘hot’ family-friendly place, fronted by an imposing Hort Park building that leads into the Garden Walk, a green corridor of numerous mini-gardens and plant nursery rooms in Singapore.

    Lately I have been into movies as a form of destressing and I have caught 5 movies in the past 2 weeks.

    My favorite would be the Thai Movie called 1. '4Bia', 2. Mirrors, 3. Bangkok Dangerous, 4. Sui Yue (Chinese Silly Ah Beng Movie), 5. Disaster Movie (Dun waster your $$) Hoping to catch Painted Skin next and Eagle Eye. So costly these days to watch during weekends but i still do because its the best way for me to stop thinking of work and school.



    4Bia:

    In this movie, four uniquely independent horror stories that could have easily become whole movies on their own are put together back-to-back as they are not linked whatsoever. By sequence, the stories are "Happiness", "Tit For Tat", "In The Middle" and "Last Fright". Each runs about half an hour and you will find that they go straight to the point, without much hesitation and the unnecessary chitchat in between.

    In "Happiness", it is a very short and simple story to play around. I adore the fact that you can relate to how the main feels in every situation she's facing, like the intense fear of being watched by someone or something. The main character plays her role convincingly well.

    "Tit For Tat" - this isn't the kind of story I would want to make into a full feature. It didn't really capture my interest except for the ending. The cinematography was unforgivable as the shaky effects were used too frequently and at some point, the scenes didn't show the audience clearly what had really happened. The effects used were rather average but the effort is there.

    Next, "In The Middle" is possibly the best story out of the bunch. It gives the audience a dose of both horror and comedy. The actors who played four best friends conversed with one another so fluently and convincingly that you just couldn't seem to hate them. In the story, there is a familiar twist (been there, done that), however it still made the story better.

    Lastly, "Last Fright" tells the story of a flight attendant who is haunted by a spirit (or rather the dead body of a woman) on a plane. Out of the bunch, this was a very 'plane' (please excuse the intended lame pun) story. Story line wasn't up to par with the others. It's a weak attempt. The ending didn't have that extra "oomph" to end the whole movie either.

    However, "4bia" was definitely a unique blend of horror and comedy; and it does give a good scare-you-out-of-your-pants reaction that makes it worth the watch.

    Personally i liked the last story best. One should never seduce married men and learn to keep their distance. Its not right and you would not your own marriage to be disturbed. So vice versa respect others and yourself.


    Mirrors:

    Kiefer Sutherland plays an ex-cop turned night security guard at a long-closed department store ravaged by fire. He discovers something awry in the store's mirrors, which seem to bring out the worst in people and realises that they harbour a horrific secret that threatens him and his family.
    I was personally shocked by my reflections for a while after catching the movie.

    Bangkok Dangerous:

    This remake of Danny and Oxide Pang's 1999 movie has Nicholas Cage as a cold-blooded hitman who travels to Thailand to finish four missions. He ends up falling in love with a local woman (Charlie Young) and befriends an errand boy.

    Well Charlie looked ver sweet in this picture and the errand boy was quite funny. I rate this movie 2/5 only though as I expected much more of it. It was like no other action flick.


    The Days (Sui Yue):

    Based on a true story THE DAYS tells a cautionary tale between two brothers, set between 1989 and 1990. In a misguided effort to teach BABY (IVAN LIM ) independence, and to make him feel protected, ZI LONG (JUSTIN CHAN) brings him into his own gang of delinquents, introducing him to his group nicknamed The 4 Heavenly Kings DOG, the silent fighter; COCKROACH, the loudmouth and TAUPER, the motorbike riding free soul together with their surrogate leader JEREMY TAN. Unknowingly, his decision has thrown them both into a tumultuous and violent world that will, in different ways, imprison them both.

    This was a show that brought back many memories (good n bad) of my younger days. Seemed like a budget production, heard that many ppl in the 30s went to catch this movie to reminiscence their past. So funny la. But I felt it was so-so and so did my friends. But this movie is based very true facts and should be appreciated for its effort to bring back the past.


    Disaster Movie:

    In Disaster Movie, the filmmaking team behind the hits Scary Movie, Date Movie, Epic Movie and Meet The Spartans this time puts its unique, inimitable stamp on one of the biggest and most bloated movie genres of all time --the disaster film.

    Disaster Movie follows the comic misadventures of a group of ridiculously attractive twenty-somethings during one fateful night as they try to make their way to safety while every known natural disaster and catastrophic event - asteroids, twisters, earthquakes, the works hits the city and their path as they try to solve a series of mysteries to end the rampant destruction.

    Taking aim at everything and everyone, from Indiana Jones and Iron Man to Amy Winehouse and High School Musical, Disaster Movie lampoons the blockbuster movie, pop culture icons and public figures along the way as Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer satirize everything as only they can.

    This was the worst movie i hv caught in the past few yrs, did not understand who they trying to imitate and movie left me feeling irritated there after. And i thought i could relax a little aft a long hard day at work.

    So thats all for now my dear friends, need to sleep now, Toodles everyone. :>

    Trying out Tea Tree's Salon
    Hehehe
    What 2 do next?



    Been wanting to post some pics of my Batam trip but didnt have the time at all since I got back. Had a good time there but came back to good old town with lots of work backlog and class tests.

    Trip's overall rating thumbs up as it was relaxing and a very good resort to stay in. And yes the rooms were clean and service was good. I guess you get what you pay for. Holiday Inn left a memorable birthday impression in me as my friends planned many surprises during my stay there. Those above were when I just got there. I brought cam along but forgot the memory card. Managed to only get 8 pix on hotel n its surrounding from dig cam and the rest fm my hp so pls pardon the poor quality. And the best part is the 8 pix is with Doreen in her cam so will upload later when i get the pix from her. When i got back its like I had 150 pics in my silly phone. And of course not everything is worth blogging.

    Day 1 @ Batam:

    Arrived in Batam at about 6pm with little reception to hp, smses got stuck in Outbox, only realised after mid night aft drinks i think. First day did not do mush, had dinner at Nagoya and bumped into some unpleasant ppl. A real small world. Survery Nagoya shopping which was nt really fantastic. Bcoz u only can find funny fashion, hyper mart and restaurants there. Nothing u wld really wanna get. I think I got a pair of heals there at Summit, well i can buy shoes in any country and continent. I love Shoes to Bits and some donkey stole @ least 8 pairs of my shoes. I hope u get Stinky Feet! Went to this little Joint called Isabella for massage aft walking a bit. It was only about sing dollars 18 and u get full massage for 2 hrs. Beat that. Aft massage u get a free ride home in a suv to ur hotel. But i stayed too far which is in Waterfront so i had to pay for the journey back man. Darn it. Went back to hotel to talk cock and had a few drinks n called room service which was so bloody exp. Cut throat i tell you. I slept quite early man for a holiday.

    Day 2 @ Batam:

    Woke up at 9am to bath then went to do hair smoothing at the Tea Tree Salon which was cheap and relaible. Charged about 90 sgd for that with a hair cut to the room as it was a birthday present from deary friends. Tried their Spa Siganature. That includes Avocado scrub, 90 min stone massage and face massage. That will set u back about $150 per pax or $280 per couple as there is also this 21% tax amount. So unless u have like floating few thousands, pls do not think about enjoying the spa facilities everyday during ur stay there.Its meant for the rich n famous i am sure. Keke. But seriously one must try tea tree at least once as its really worth the money. There are many packages for you to try. Its service is superb and u realli feel like u r in relaxed haven. Leaving the spa was a truly refreshing n enticing exp. By mid noon I went out with friends to Batam City to Mega Mall to eat A & W(long lost food in spore). Wanted to catch a movie to no avail. Friends decided to go back to hotel to rest aft walking the entire mall and guess wad we all bought nothing as there is seriously nothing there interesting, wanted to get levis but i have tons in spore so decided to not waste money la. Wanted to get a memory card and the one i wanted was sold out. Giant had it but they said the person selling it is off for today and they told me to come back tom instead. I felt like shouting in their faces telling to be more efficient can. One sales staff off and no need to do biz is it? Damn dumb lo.
    Went back to hotel to rest, btw did i tell u i was given a 2 bedroom suite instead of one due to inavalability. So much speace with no occupants as my friends had another 2 bedroom suite. Imagine i cld prob prac qigong in the room or something man. Well the suite was clean, 2 bathrooms n bedrooms, living room, dining area and balcony. Too big not sure what I cld do with all that space. Bigger than spore's 5 rm, so imagine how congested spore is.
    My friends were in such a hurry to go back hotel, i really wondered why man and i found out when i went to the room. They got staff to put up ballons n decor for my 26th bird day. Walau i so old le lo, balllons quite young type but nvm i still like. That was the first surprise.
    My 2nd was a birthday gift which prob costs few k fm Andy Yeo. The Chanel bag that I hv been bitching about. Yeah he said u like so i buy lo. Ok lo i say thank u n take lo. Hehehe.
    The 3rd surprise, dinner was sup to be out at Sea. But it turned out to be Private Dinner in Private rm by the Pool called Mawar which is rose i think. I had a private Butler too, his name was Eddie i tink. Thumbs up la he was always waiting out of the transparent glass house waiting for us to finish his course. I felt so bad u know, dun like ppl waiting on me. But anyway the 5 course dinner there was good, I appreciated it alot. It boils down to the sincerity of friends really, they even planned menu with chef to cater the dishes to my wishes. Imagine that. So many staffiin Hol Inn knew it was my Birthday and i was in the dark. So next time dear frens, pls dun reveal my real age can. Paiseh lei. So old le, Lao Cai. Ha. 4th surprise was the door bell ringing and i got a birthday cake with flowers and champagne. How sweet can friends get right? So basically that the surprises i got plus some jewellery fm them. Then i asked them for more and got scolder. They mentioned, so many not enuff ah, stil young ah? Deserved that man!

    3rd Day @ Batam:

    Went out to find water sports n to see what resorts Batam had in Store. Water sports there super exp la i tell u. Jet ski costs about 130 per hour so u say lei. For the rich n famous again rite?
    Did a little water sports as i felt the pinch then went ard the island to survey which resort to stay in next time i came Batam. And Turi won of course. Its new, beautifully streched upwards towarsd a hill. Beautiful rooms and serene surroundings. Big landscaped area which is simply breath taking. After recky Turi, Batam View and I can rem 2 more, i still decided Turi was the best.
    Next activity was to go Go Kart. This is opened by us Sporeans and it costs 18 4 every 15 mins. The water sports near water front also the same opened by us so that explains why so exp huh. Let me tell u again its exp and the track is not well kept at all. So u may want to consider doing that. U can do it cheaper in Spore anyways so dun try. I would never wanna do it again and u know why bcoz i drove into a bloody swamp. Really sucks man had to walk out barefooted in mud and all. So obviously I am liek any typical woman driver man. SUCK AT IT.
    Had dinner at the kelong called Golden Prawn. 4 ppl at SGD 88. Six dishes with CRAB, FISH, SCALLOPS, GONG GONG, VEGE AND I cant rem the last dish man. Its been 2 weeks since i came back u know.
    Went for massage again at Indo Thai i think. That was good massage again at SGD 25 or so and it realli awakened me. My bones all felt good there after a long hard day at fun.
    Dinner was good followed by drinks la what else.

    4th Day at Batam:

    Bought gifts for friends n family and Indonesia's famous Kueh Lapis. @ least 25 ppl in queue b4 me so i am not revealing where ok. My family n close friends will all get to eat each time i go not to worry. Headed home on the 4.15 ferry. And it was home sweet home. I truly enjoyed my trip. I felt so much better returning to work on Monday though i wad flooded with work. :>

    Hoping to go on a one day spa trip with sis in Nov. will prob return on a weekend soon to Batam, for their seafood and spa. Will prob stay in Hol Inn again, fond memories. Toodles dear friends till the next time.
