Sherlock holmes+wii+wow

today watched sherlock holmes (DVD) and i find it a great movie! I think im really a fan of Robert Downey Jr already. The movie was quite humorous, but i guess the plot isnt that fascinating.. the usual sherlock holmes cases i guess.. but im looking forward to the sequel IF there is going to be any.

Looked through what are the new wii games to get.. hmm.... sigh. not much RPG games for me to play on wii cos the graphics really suck.... :( still miss the ps RPG games which i played before, like Grandia, Mana Tree etc. but today i get to know that monster hunter tri is available on Wii! yay, will be able to play that soon.

here comes another qn which i have been asking myself. SHould i play wow again? hmph... im kind of stuck at a phase whereby i had missed out on the raids. especially the ulduar and icecrown ones. but it really help me pass time.. though it kinda waste money too..


Shall end today's post with some tips on dating (*winks). The points below are important in keeping a long-term relationship :)

Show endearment with class. A certain look. A scratch on the back. A soft kiss. Nothing "clingy" or inappropriate.

Appreciate a man's strengths. And tell him so, even if he's already prideful. Then support him when he is at his best, and avoid nagging or berating him when he is at his worst.

Glow. If the warmth of your heart is written all over your face, and your feelings for your guy show in the sparkle in your eyes, you will melt him. This is what removes all doubt - it's the important "silver bullet".

Convey unconditional love. A strong relationship should be based upon more than convenience. Pushing past difficult times while remaining together requires a deep commitment and appreciation for one another. Unconditional love is developed over time. It is a choice we make, not necessarily a feeling we experience.

"Winning the Man NOT the Argument". In any relationship, disagreements will occur. However the key to resolving issues is not only to talk these through. You need to be able to discuss all issues effectively. Never bring up previously unresolved issues - they are in the past and that is where they should be left. Never discuss issues with your partner if you haven't resolved this emotionally with your self first. If thinking about an issue makes you feel upset or angry, then do not bring this up with your partner. If you do, there is a chance that the your emotions will get the better of you, you will not be thinking or communicating clearly if this happens. Which can lead to an argument. Discuss things objectively and think with an open mind. If you want him to understand you, you must be willing to understand and listen to him too.

Updates-- after exams
Wednesday, May 05, 2010
7:11 AM

Its been long time since i write on my blog. exams are FINALLY over. my study life (as a full-time student) is OFFICIALLY over. oh my, i am getting old already.. suddenly a lot of complicated feelings... going to work soon, feeling a bit scared... getting old--> a bad thing? maybe... maybe not... at least we are one step closer to our dream :)

so exams are over, i should have more time to blog now. and what shall i do? oh man, feel like there are so many things i wanna do but dunno which to start first.. hmm lets see:

1) Play with my niece
2) Bake some cupcakes
3) Exercise and keep fit
4) Watch HK dramas
5) Watch downloaded movies6) Watch flashforward with dar
7) Go universal studios!
8) Plan Europe trip
9) Rearrange my room furniture
........ Cant think of what else to do....... that's it for now

2 days ago went to watch the iron man 2. Before the movie, me and dar went to eat Swensens! their Arrabbiata penne pasta was really spicy! and then we ate our favourite sundae at Swensens - Choco crunch hotfudge sundae!

The movie was long awaited by me and dar. i love all the cool graphics when tony stark uses his technology to dismantle and analyse the model structure. wish in reality that hologram technology really exists! tooo bad, i guess we have to wait for a few more decades.. and i actually missed the after credits cinematics!! oh man!! stupid me.... should have waited till after credits. but even after i watched on youtube i still dun quite understand haha. i think only those people who read the marvel comics would understand. im sure those people who dun read the comics or dunno abt the marvel storyline, would be like "huh...." after they watched the secret ending haha. yay another sequel to iron man, looking forward to it. really love robert downey jr.

Last week went to vivo and so qiao saw Rachel Liang's meet the fans session. took a video and photos of her. She is really pretty and look like a doll in her new image. And she can sing well too. but i dunno why she has so little fans, plus i heard a guy beside me who told his gf to go because he dunno who is Rachel Liang!!!



today i went to the SG flyer with Yunwei and Sara. we had the student deal of $10. when the flyer capsule was not moving at all, we were so freaked out cos we tot the flyer got technical problem again. Before that and during lunch, we were still saying that it is quite cool to abseil down the flyer in case we get stuck up there. plus now they got foood ration, drinks and urine bag under the seat for emergency cases. We were panicking when we see that the capsule was nto moving when we were midway through our journey to the top. As you can see, our confidence in the flyer is really that little.

After SG flyer, we walked over to the new helix bridge, under the scorching hot sun. then we walked on to the marina bay sands shopping mall. me and sara really wanted to go into the casino to take a look,but need $100 entrance fee!!! we walked a long long way, took many photos. im so tired from all the walking but at the same time, very happy!

Touching lyrics

Never took special notice of this song, thought it was very simple and cliche, but after looking at the lyrics, i think it is really sweet... just suddenly feel that it's really sweet. Enjoy:

"When You Say Nothing At All"

It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing

The smile on your face
Let me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all

All day long
I can hear people
Talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
(The crowd)
Try as they may
They could never define
What's been said
Between your
Heart and mine

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

Suddenly was listening to this song by Jolin and realise the lyrics is beautiful. Wanna dedicate to you darling, hope you get well soon k? Dun wish to fall sick everyday, u not sick i will still take care of you de.

地震的夜晚 趕來作伴

重感 冒的凌晨 煮著稀飯

這個讓我哭過的人多麼溫暖

我感 謝我們不完美 卻坦白自然


我們從牽手放手 又牽手 走過來

願意 為更懂你的心 Spending all my life

每當情緒像海 你隻抱我 從不 催我講出來

我就 明白 你是我的依賴


地震的夜晚 趕來作伴

重感 冒的凌晨 煮著稀飯

這個讓我哭過的人多麼溫暖

我感 謝我們不完美 卻坦白自然


我們從期待失落 又期待 走過來

願意 為一起看未來 Spending all my life

每當變成習慣 生活太淡 總有 感動的意外

我就 明白 你是我的依賴


就算是幸福都由老天在管

隻借 不送 我還是不肯還 用真愛耍賴

我們從日出日落 又日出 走過來

願意為愛你去忙碌 Spending all my life

每當 命運變幻 需要狂歡 需要流淚 你都在

我就明白 你是我的依賴

我們明白 愛是互相依賴

CNY + V day 2010
Sunday, February 21, 2010
8:10 AM

time to update my VERY rusty blog. shall start off the new year with a blog about CNY and v day.

CNY was as usual.. hmm. reunion dinner at my aunt's place.. most of the kids have grown up, each doing their own stuff, my cousins no longer play childish games with us, so we just stick to playing card games ourselves.

1st day of CNY was a real busy day. i had to be the chauffeur to drive my ppl around. first my family, then sj's family haha. this yr's cny i tried a new way to makeup, which is draw bottom eyeliner, a way i learnt from TWF makeup lesson. i think it makes me looker brighter instead of having dull eyes.

after having dinner at sj's aunt place, we set off for our planned v day dinner. i gotta tell eveyone that parking at Chijmes is a really really bad idea.... we got conned totally.... it was $10 per entry!! and we only parked for around 3 hrs!! gosh... and next, we got conned by the restaurant too! we were like forced to order the set menu as indicated by the waiter. so we had to eat the full course of meal (appetiser, main course, dessert). we were so full! yet had to try to finish the food else waste our $$ but i got to say the food is pretty nice, especially the garlic bread, which is like super super long. anw the cafe is called esmirada or sth like that. main course was good, but dessert im a bit disappointed becos the tiramisu lack a taste of liquer. i think my tiramisu taste better than theirs hhaha.

then went esplanade to walk walk, but its a really really bad idea cos we totally forgot it was CNY, so there was CNY celebration at esplanade.. -.- so end up there were a lot of 'lightbulbs' around, plus a lot of banglahs.... -.- sj was really pissed at them for staring at me, so we gotta leave early.. sigh..

i think im really lcky at playing blackjack, cos when im the dealer, i alw win over everyone else's money! lol

recently, my bro just got enlisted into army, he came back botak! plus i dun really get to see him le, cos he gotta pei his gf!! hope he can pull thru the army, im sure he can haha. im just so so glad that sj is no longer in the army. its really a tough time, for both of us during that time. now that i see my bro, and others who are in the army, seeing how their gfs feel sad for not seeing the guys, it just reminds me of the time i had went thru. jia you gals, you must be strong for ur guys to pull thru the army with a positive attitude! we are their pillar of mental support! <3

took this myself when it was red light lol.



Picture at esplanade with my dar.


Look at the long bread! we had no idea how to eat at first



left to right: me, my niece, my cousin. we all had hair accessories!!!

alright some updates. Last sat, finally got to sing kbox!! went to safra jurong west n tried their 'touch screen' ktv system. well, not very feasible since its touch screen yet it's so far away at a corner of the room. so i keep having to stand up n go press the screen to select. not very feasible to hav touch screen in this kind of situation afterall. well, kbox at safra jurong west is not really updated with songs lor. lousy man. n i realised that i hav been keeping up with new songs, since i know how to sing quite a few of them. lol sj is really getting old cos he dunno many new songs.

on sun, we had a extended family lunch at sentosa marine cove, yacht club, at one degree 15. drove 3 cars and only paid $2 for entry since my cousin work at sentosa. wooots! so sj drove my car n we followed my dad's and my cousin's bf's car lol. if we add some ribbons onto our car it would seem like a bridal thing with all the cars tailing behind lol. really rich ppl stay at the marine cove lor. and they own their own yacht. there are even diff types of yacht. some looked like 'sports car like' yacht. damn cool. we went to imperial treasure at one degree 15. the dim sum was quite salty imo. but everyone else think it's fantastic. but their shou mian (noodle) and fried rice was really really nice! haha then we ate cold red bean soup for dessert. i think it's jus normal. i recalled for mother's day meal we went to liang court 'shin yeh' for a meal. their red bean dessert was UBER nice! its red bean ice dessert and they add fen yuan from taiwan. anw it's a taiwanese chinese restaurant. i would go back again for its desserts.

After lunch on sun, we drove to vivo to walk a bit and my mum bought a touch screen phone samsung presto for sj. haha so nice, it's white lor! then we drove to ritz carlton to meet my dad. we got someone to show us the MILLENIA suite at Ritz! its damn big n nice! guess the price? 1k plus for a night! next was deluxe room, and then a premier suite, which my dad got for my bdae. hopefully can catch the F1 race during my bdae. we went to bugis and tried the teadot cafe. the tea it's really nice! it's at the new shopping mall oppo bugis which i cant recall the name now lol.

bdae celebration at Q&M gourmet pub

last last week after exams, went ot watch CATS musical @ esplanade. it was really nice:) lots of dance apart from singing. lots of ballet dance moves too! tix was ex, it cost us $200 in total but i think it was worth the money. my very very first musical at the esplanade. the programme booklet was quite ex lol $20. regret that i din buy the soundtrack.


on wednesday met up with emilia and feli to shop @ vivocity. hav been online shopping recently but haven really went out to shop. on my way to meet emilia, one salesgal approached me and buffed my nails. lol it was really shiny but i really din expect the price to be $90 per nail kit ($70 for a nail buffer). luckily the salesgal sold it to us w/o commission. so each of us got the kit for $35 each. yups, jus like emilia, im happy with this purchase cos since i dun put nail polish, i can buff my nails to make it look shiny:) We took quite some effort trying to find yenling's present lol. walked the whole vivo till our legs and feet are sore and tired. well, at least my feet really hurt these few days since wed. baaad idea to wear heels to shop. but lol, i wore heels cos my pants require me to wear heels so as to look nice haha.

we ate dinner at the queen and mangosteen british gourmet pub at vivo. well, lets see, the ambience was nice, service gd and food was delicious!

ambience: 8/10
service: 9/10
food: 8.5/10

nice place to go! we sat there since 6 plus and ate till near 11. after dinner, i went to pick up my car alone, and when i was at the gantry, i realise i forgot to top up my cashcard! had to go back to vivo and top up, by then, it was pretty empty and security guards were all locking up the doors. it was a bit scary to be walking ard at the time alone. on my way back home, i really cant concentrate on the road, my eyes were super dry and tired from contact lens. it was really quite dangerous but im glad i reahed home safely.

these are some pics of us and the yummy food!

grilled chicken leg with some mango sauce. chicken meat was tender and sauce was delicious!


fish and chips for $12. worth the money!

chilled prawns with marie rose dip or sth? forgot the name of the sauce but i jus LOVE the sauce!




creme brulee and fruit crumble. <3>
