It's time for Kung Fu fighting!

Watched 'Kung Fu Panda' with Lou and Gracie today. It was pretty last minute cause we only planned it last night.

Nicky was supposed to join us but she went to play badminton with another bunch of friends instead. She freakin' missed out, man! The movie's definitely 100% better than playing badminton!

So like I said, the movie was awesome! It's fcuking HILARIOUS!!!! Seriously. It was laughs and.. ahem.. snorts throughout the movie. Yup, it's that funny! That is if you can get the jokes. But I don't think there's anyone who wouldn't cause the humor was pretty straight-forward and obvious.

So if you didn't get them.. man, you SUCK!

Anyways, it sure is an animated film that's worth watching. I feel like buying the DVD. Think it's a good idea?

Kung Fu Panda

It's the story about a lazy slacker panda, named Po, who is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around, which doesn't exactly come in handy while working every day in his family's noodle shop. Unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Po's dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five -- Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey -- under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master into reality? Po puts his heart - and his girth - into the task, and the unlikely hero ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths.

Proud to be Chinese..

Marv won a pair of seats to a dinner with Kylie Kwong at the Mandarin Oriental. If you didn't know, she's the host of the Discovery Travel & Living's upcoming new show 'Kylie Kwong: My China'.

So the dinner was yesterday night. I honestly did not expect that there were so many other winners. But my gawd, there were alot! There were still tables in the ballroom that were empty though.. about 3 I think.

Anyhow, God really blessed us that last night. Cause we were originally placed at table 13, which was right at the back. Yeah I know.. that sucked.

But then while we all introduced ourselves, a staff member came to our table and told us that we're being moved up to the front.. to table 7! And it gets better. Table 7 is right behind table 1, which is the VIP table where Kylie sits! OMG!!!

Okay. The night started off with a trailer for Kylie's new show. Then she came out, introduced herself and the show, and talked about her experiences will filming it. There's even a book with recipes and photos from the show, which was our door gift. Damn nice eh?

This dinner is a 9 course one. All the dishes served are from Kylie's show and the book, except for the beef one which is the hotel's signature dish. The food's really good! Really simple, but good all the same. Oh! And we got to drink Moet sparkling wine. Delicious!

All in all, it was an awesome night. Really wonderful to get the chance to meet her. Thanks Marv for winning the seats. LOL.

Oh btw, as you can see, I didn't post any photos. Malas la.. hehe. But you can go to Marv's blog for the night's photos. He has them all up. Okay? Okay.

'Hate' is a strong word

I officially hate Mondays.. well, probably only this Monday. But anyways I just absolutely HATE today.

I woke up bright and early this morning just to finish up my slides for my Copyright presentation this Wednesday. I was so focused (yeah, I know.. even I was suprised) that I lost track of time.

Halfway typing, I randomly looked at the clock, which showed about 12.35 or something. I forgot. Oh and plus, my mum had lunch ready in the kitchen. So the point is by the time I shut down everything, bathed, ate and drove to college, I'd be late for class. The tutorial's at 1pm.

So I didn't bother to rush. What's the point of rushing if I'm gonna be late anyways? Plus, I've never been late for any of my classes this semester. There's a first for everything, right?

Also I had another class (a replacement class) at 2pm. Decided to just go for that instead. So I had my lunch and everything, then went to college.

Just so you know, I had a book that I had to return. So I returned that book, then went looking for Nicky or Lou. Found Lou at 103. Nicky, as usual, was at the smoking zone.

'Cause we didn't know where the replacement class was, Lou & I went to the staff room to find out. Here's what we found out, and basically is the reason why I hate today. Apparently the class was not confirmed, meaning it's not on!

Like WTF??! That means I came all the way to college just to return a blardy book! OMG la. Damn sore, man.

So that, children, is the super-long-winded story of why I hate today.

Muttons at Midnight

Was at McD in Centerpoint with Nicky DS, Gracie and Zach today. Zach wanted to have luch outside college so we just teman him. Halfway talking, Nicky let Gracie and I hear these videos. Yes.. hear 'cause we had to share. So it's easier if we just hear it.

Both videos are by Justin and Vernon from the Singaporean radio station, 98.7FM Muttons at Midnight.

The first video is of Vernon making a prank call to exploit this aunty's Singlish. The aunty's a caterer, so he's calling to make an order for food for a party he's having.

The second video is Justin and Vernon re-singing One Republic's "Apologise". Then they explain the meaning of the lyrics from James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" and Hoobastank's "The Reason".

Here's some info so you'll understand the explanation for "The Reason". Prima Deli's sorta like Deli France.. the Singaporean version. They had a bad case of food poisoning at one point of time, which caused them to close down for good.

Okay, so listen closely and have a good laugh. ROFLMAO.

Bboy prodigy

Watched Ellen Degeneres' talkshow, Ellen, with my mum and the brat on Wednesday. One of her guests was Jalen Testerman, who's sorta famous in America for being a really young and amazing breakdancer.

Oh, believe me.. he is brilliant! Well, for his age that is. But how often do you come across an amazing little bboy?

The thing is he's self-taught! He watched "You've Got Served" and a few other dance-based movies, thought that breakdancing's cool, and then decided to copy the moves from the movies.

I like the part in the first video when Ellen asked what his favourite move was. His answer: "Headspin. Because it get's dizzy and I fall down."

Awwww... so cute! Sigh, he's just so cute la! Even his voice is cute. And he's definitely gonna be one heck of an awesome bboy when he's older, and a very good-looking one for sure.

So anywyas, you must watch these videos! Seriously.. you must, or you'll regret not being able to see this cutie in action and hear that voice.

Okay, the first video is of Jalen dancing on Ellen. The second's taken by some guy on YouTube. It shows Jalen dancing for a circle of pro breakdancers at the REC (whatever that means). He even battles with a few of them a bit. Awesome kid!

So people, enjoy!

Save the environment..

Happy World Environment Day!

This special day is also known as WED, which purpose might sound the same as Earth Day. But it isn't, okay?

WED is hosted every year by a different city and commemorated all around the world throughout the week of June 5.

The host for the World Environment Day 2008 will be New Zealand, with the main international celebrations scheduled for Wellington. The slogan for 2008 is "CO2, Kick the Habit! Towards a Low Carbon Economy."

Counting sheeps

LMAO. I've officially not slept for 24 hours! Woohooooooo!!!! I woke up at 8 plus yesterday. Now it's about 8.25am and I'm still on the computer.

What an acheivement. Seriously. Ugh.. fcuk la.

Now I just wanna to go to college, pass this stupid dumb-ass assignment up and come home. Then I can't wait till my head touches my soft, amazing pillow and go to sleep! *yawn*

Sleep deprivation

Ugh! I'm so fatigued!!!!

It has caused me the following problems:
1) I have dark circles under my eyes.
2) I start feeling tired even before midnight, around 10 plus.
3) I have difficulty getting up on time, cause I feel like just going back to sleep.
4) My body kinda aches, but only once in a while.
5) My nose started bleeding for no particular reason just a few minutes ago.
6) I keep pressing the wrong key on the keypad as I type.

My sleeping time is so totally fucked up! No shit.

But then I do blame myself for not sleeping at my usual time. Like I said earlier, my eyes start dropping even before midnight. But then, I still shut it off and continue staying up till late, like what I'm doing now.

WTF is wrong with me la??! I seriously can't take this anymore. I literally need my "beauty sleep" cause it's really making me "ugly", both physically and mentally.

Sigh, I have an assignment to do now. The deadline's tomorrow. Yes, it's last minute work. Sorry la. I am a procrastinator anyways. So it's no surprise that I'll end up completing my assignments last minute, okay?

Just don't say anything. Shut up. Okay, back to work now. Goodnight humans. Pleasant dreams. I know I won't have any, so you can have mine tonight.

Moo juice

World Milk Day!

1st June..

So grab a glass and drink up, people!

Milk's super good for the body. It strengthens your bones, builds muscle and stuff. But I suggest low fat ones though. I dunno, but I'm told that it's healthier 'cause there's less fat? Whatever.

Milk's gooooooood..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I found this milk ads when googling for a picture of a milk carton for this post. They're pretty good. I guess you should open the last two in a new window, so the copy'll be clearer. Okay? Okay.

Milk ad from Aussie..

This is Hanna, damn cute la!

A couple of ads from the Got Milk campaign..

Donuts!

Yay!!! Big Apple is now open at Desa Parkcity (or DPC as I prefer to call it). Finally la.. after months and months of waiting, it's finally open for business.

We bought two boxes of half a dozen donuts. One's for ourselves. The other's for my dad's friend's kids who are home alone for the entire holidays. Their parents are overseas on a business trip.

So anyways, we had to divide each of the 6 donuts into four; each of us (me, Marv, the brat, my mum) gets a quarter of each flavour. It wasn't much.. really little actually, but still good. They'll do for now.

Big Apple Donuts & Coffee!!!


The donuts!


This is how much each of us got.. T-T


All gone! Yum..




It's finger lickin' good!

Aaaarrgh! I can't wait for the next trip to a Big Apple outlet! More donuts, please.

Oh! Especially the Iceberg, which I have NEVER tried! Everytime I go to any of the outlets, they'll be out of the Iceberg donuts. Can you believe that?! Damn sore.
