Fast & Furious

Firstly I need to get this off my chest:

OH MY GOD! KISSING SCENES! ALMOST SEX SCENES! ASS! BOOBS! ON THE MOVIE SCREEN FOR ALL TO SEE! OMGOMG SINGAPORE CINEMA IS SO AWESOME!!!!

Okay done.

It's brainless trashy movie of course. But oh what fun!

Fast cars! Hot chicks in skimpy clothes! Loud noises! Spectacular car chasing scenes! Crashes! Catchy repetitive music! Vin Diesel! Paul Walker!

Oh... there's the emo bit though. Then again...

Fast cars! Hot chicks in skimpy clothes! Loud noises! Spectacular car chasing scenes! Crashes! Catchy repetitive music! Vin Diesel! Paul Walker!

Yucks.. corny lines aplenty. But...

Fast cars! Hot chicks in skimpy clothes! Loud noises! Spectacular car chasing scenes! Catchy repetitive music! Vin Diesel! Paul Walker!

So on and so forth.

It's fun! Brains not required! Watch it!

A Week In A Life Of Me.

Long Day Monday:

Nothing like some Hoegaarden on tap @ Ice Cold Beer to kick start the week when Monday already feels like a 5 day work week rolled into one.

Not Quite There Yet Tuesday:

Glenlivet Tasting Party @ Balaclava reminded me how dreamy single malt scotch whiskey can be. So smooth, so fragrant. Just like ice cold water from heaven.

Eve of Easter Thursday:

I've almost forgotten that Kilkenny on tap @ That Irish Pub near my place which name escapes me for now tastes so much fresher and creamier than Kilkenny from a can. So malty. So smooth. So full. So delicious. But So Expensive. (Can = 6.40, Bar =14.00) :(

Happy Saturday:

OJ & Smirnoff Black @ Wala wala is a great way to end the week. Coupled with a group of good company to chill out and head bang to singalong live music, the coming Monday doesn't seem so hard to face. Smirnoff black is so damn smooth compared to the normal Absolut. It's so smooth it's too easy to forget that you actually have quite a bit of vodka in that juice.. *hic*


With age catching up, I know that sooner or later I will have to cut this down. But now is definitely not the time. Besides, I'm enjoying it too much :)

Singapore Kindness Movement

Wahlau. A government led campaign to remind the public to be courteous, kind and considerate ar???

Introduction

In his 1996 New Year Message then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong highlighted the need for Singapore to become a gracious society by the 21st century. He emphasised that Singapore should not only continue to develop its economy, but should complement it with growth in personal development and in social behaviour. Considerate social behaviour supported by a strong economy and good government would make Singapore the best home for its people.

In line with the Mr Goh's call to build a gracious society, the Singapore Kindness Movement (SKM) aims to encourage Singaporeans to make a positive commitment to gracious living through simple acts of kindness in their daily activities.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAH! See even the government also know that something is terribly wrong with the people here. So don't give me shit if I feel the same way too!*

Check out the website here!

*Disclaimer: Then again, gracious Singaporeans DO exist. All the ones I know and like to hang out with, are (I'm not just saying this because there are two of them right next to me who may or may not have indirectly threaten to beat me up if I did not put up the disclaimer... hehehe!).

Sick Fuckers

The person who invented the Tabasco shot should be hung upside down by his toes. And his body fed to wild dogs with rabies. And his hair pulled out of his scalp one by one. And his black heads extracted one at a time. And vinegar poured all over his raw body when conscious.

Hate the idiot with every fibre of my being.

Why would anyone make themselves drink hell in a shotglass? WHY?

Poker Face!

Can't read my! can't read my! No he can't read my poker face!

Lady Gaga is rocking my socks. Her songs are so catchy and infectious, every time it's on I have this urge to drop everything and flay my hands about. I can't believe she is 6 years younger than me. Did you know that she learned to play the piano by ear when she was only 4, wrote her first piano ballad at 13 and was performing at the age of 14? Then when she moved out of her parent's house she dove into drugs and burlesque dancing, just because, in my opinion, she can. Crazy talented bitch. She sings! She dances! She writes songs! She plays the piano! She wears crazy things! I hate her. No I love her. No I hate her. ARGHH Complicated emotions!

She's like.. madonna, gwen stefani, britney spears, kylie minogue all rolled into one tiny little body!

I'm getting my grimy paws on her damn album.

He's Just Not That Into You (book).

Phew. I thought it was going to be another piece of literary crap. Honestly, I'm not so snobbish as to read only serious mind fucking stuff from Rushdie or Greenspan. I actually read more fluffy junkbooks. See, junk doesn't equate to crap. Junk is fun! Crap belongs in the sewage.

This book is junk. Entertaining junk. It's like a tongue in cheek self help book, if you must. An entertaining tongue in cheek self help junk which is puts in writing, obviously obvious things you already know about men and (non-existent) relationships or should've known better, but rather just ignore.

This book is like that good friend who gave you an advise which you rather just ignore. You know she is right, but it's easier to act dumb and pretend that she never said anything so that you can continue living in your little delusions.

The premise of the book is simple enough; if spend too much time wondering whether the guy is into you - then he is just not into you. If he doesn't call, doesn't make the effort, is married, unavailable, going through a tough situation, just can't include you into his life - He is just not into you. SO SIMPLE RIGHT!

I was smiling, laughing and nodding to myself throughout the book. Guilty guilty guilty as charged. So simple yet, so many of us have been guilty of it once too many times. And will continue to be guilty for as long as men and woman and stupid emotions shall live.

Good Night Out.

Random Pictures From Singapore.

Brain shut down. Cannot form long sentences. More pictures instead, k?


Z. O. M. F. G. Hot guys galore slurp. Guys watch it for the action, girls watch it for the men. Winner is all! Hugh Jackman is mine, hands off bitches.


Read about this book in a local magazine. Went to Borders to look for it, but couldn't find it. Contemplating just walking out because was kind of embarrassed to ask help from the staff with the title being so suggestive. Asked anyway. No more stock. Sad.


Was at Mandarin Oriental a few weeks back. There was an art exhibition by Chinese artists. Painting were put up all over the wall. I thought this drawing was really hot. Snap!


This is a locally made 2009 calendar. Erm. Chinese boys and big bulging muscles don't go well together IMHO. It's just WRONG. But that's just my personal preference. Not even trying to impose my preference on you so no flaming please.


It's about time I put up this obligatory tourist shot of the Merlion. You know what they like to say here? If you drink, don't merlion.


Sex in the City. Hahaha. So clever. Shops like these are quite a frequent sight. Being the silly little sheltered Malaysian girl who has seen nothin' - this was like WOAHHHHH THIS IS AWESOME!!!! CLICK!


Don't you wish Malaysia was forward thinking enough to set up a tourist centre which looks as good as THIS?


Lots of construction up around Orchard Road. They put up a lot of boards such as this one. So pretty right? Of course must camwhore. Will do more next time.

Enough pictures to last you through the week? I hope so! No more updates for the week.

Time to pass out. Goodnight.

Tv Ads on Tv

I think it's bloody hilarious how tv companies try to show how superior their tv is on our own tv screens. I mean if they are attempting to display how sharp theirs is, how vivid their colours are and how their images look so real - it's still shown on MY tv so how does it proof to me that your tv is more awesome than mine?

Lol.
