hello public

its finally the weekend of a chaotically hectic week. due to a new batch of enlistees, the whole of bedok camp is now back to life. days of lazing around watching dvds while chomping on ben & jerrys (yes, in camp) are so over. thankfully they didnt make us stay back for the much dreaded 2 weeks confinement.

anyways,


on saturday, met up with a poly classmate of mine who i havent seen for really long, winnie. with her busy work and part time degree schedule, it was almost impossible to fix a date to meet up. but alas we did.

we scheduled for lunch at Spageddies marina square.


shared escargots for appetiser which i ate most of since winnie wasnt too fond of the french snails.

for the main course, winnie had the seafood baked rice while i had lasagna. the lasagna here is different cause instead of the pasta being filled with beef, its actually filled with ricotta cheese and meat sauce is poured over it. it was nice but i wasnt really a big fan of it though.

spageddies marina square is quite a nice cosy quiet place for lunch and catching up with frens. good ambience.

after lunch we decide to catch the much talk about local english movie. the thing i dont understand is why has an english speaking country like singapore been churning out rubbish chinese films made by a certain director rather than quality english film which i definitely believe we're capable of.

so before i caught this movie, i read a few reviews on it. the highest compliment being a 2 star out of 5 was how bad this movie was portrayed to be. but i still wanna catch it for 2 reasons. wong li lin and there wasnt any nicer movies out.

not expecting a blockbuster hit, i was shock to see the cinema full, even up to the first row. and by end of the movie, guess wad? there was even applause from the audience. i actually thought it was quite good.

of course, you dont raise your hopes, you dont expect an oscar nominee and you dont pay $9.50 just to critique the movie for being local citing singapore is capable of being better. i'm saying that the show was good. i liked it, alot in fact. it was quite touching. so much that my friend, winnie walked out of the cinema with puffy eyes and a red nose.

i give it a 3 out of 5 stars. and i recommend it to those who arent so uptight and snooty about what they watch. the leap years is a definite must watch.=)


since winnie had to leave after the movie to have dinner with her family i decided to call one of my ex bunkmates to see whether he's free for dinner. and lucky me, he was.

i had the really yummy seafood salad with sushi tei dressing which was good to the last bite. i didnt really expect the salad to be that good mind you.

danny had the dragon roll which is kinda like the phoenix roll i always order. and trust me, they're really good. i dont mind waiting 20mins for one.
