Driving mania !

Took half day leave for my driving today because i managed to book a session at 1.05 p.m. this morning :) although i originally have a lesson on 5.55 p.m.
2 lessons a day is really tough especially on rainy days.
It rained so heavily that it soaked my shoe while i was on my way to SSDC (Singapore Safety Driving Center) so i decided to head back after my 2 hours of driving to get my shoe changed. it was so uncomfortable driving with wet, cold feet.

Let me recall what i happened the past 2 days.
met Juliana after so long ! and finally managed to past a full day with her.
Went to catch "Marley and Me" although it is not as good as the book itself but they manage to capture some of the emotional moments.
overall i would still recommend people to not read the book before watching the movie.
and after a movie, we trained back to my place and rented a "Transformer(DVD)" on our way back :)
it's still a very nice movie even though i have watched it 2 years back.
anyway a snap shot of my surprise present.





that's about all :)

p.s. driving is really mentally taxing ! and I'm having another lesson tomorrow !! >_<

Vicky Christina Barcelona


Vicky Christina Barcelona

Rented a DVD yesterday from 24hr DVD machine nearby.
The initial thought of renting this DVD was purely because of Scarlett Johansson, without much information about this movie.

But the movie turn out to be brilliant, not because of Scarlett Johansson alone, but the movie itself.

Its about 2 American Vicky and Christina(best friends)
-Vicky who character is a very realistic and know what she wants in life, to her love is all about commitment.
Christina on the other hand is polar different from Vicky, Christina is very special, she doesn't know what she wants but she knows what she don't want. And often throw herself out to experience "true" passionate love, not minding about the hurt which often occur.

having a summer holiday in Barcelona, met an artist named Juan Antonio which later charmed both ladies and changed their view point of life.

Definitely a DVD recommended for all.

Rebecca Hall as Vicky(Left) and Scarlett Johansson as Christina(Right)

A scene When Antonio Introduce Christina to his friends(mainly Artists and Poets)

Woody Allen the Director of this film (extreme right) as the Casts
Scene at the theme park (the Scenery and the Classic Theme park rides adds the flavors of romance)

P.S. good news - 10 long days, i can't believe i actually survived it.
bad news - I still have 2 months to go >_< Any good DVDs to recommend ?

NO WAY !!

My ideal age of getting married would be at 27. when i finished my education and have a stable income.
Getting married at the age of 23 would be a total disaster ! Just imagine after i finished my NS - age 21 (This coming July) only starting in year 2 of uni (presumably if i start my studies this year) and have a wife ?!
that's just too much for me to handle.
I'm not saying that getting married earlier isn't good. In fact, i quite like the idea but only when you have already found a soul mate.

It's just the education part and the financial criteria wouldn't be attained. therefore, marriage at that point of time would only be financially taxing :X just my POV

alright bye bye

Signs !

firstly a video i have watched lately, it's a short yet brilliant film.
The story plot has it's unique originality, although the actors/actresses didn't speak but through their expression you are able to receive what they portrait.
it's definitely a film worth your 12 minutes !

don't be lazy ! just give me a watch, TRUST ME or YOU WILL LOSE OUT



how was it ? Absolutely flawless RIGHT ? it's just perfect ! i especially like the part when the female lead dancing with the breast drawn on a paper.


Some update about myself.

recently much things had happened, majority are negative issues basically revolving around my life such as work, r/s and friends etc.

the worst was non other then work which directly affects my daily life e.g. r/s which is linked to friends.

Work -> R/S -> Friends

but everything is fine now :) ok not everything just r/s and friends. As for work, i don't wish to elaborate on it.

hope you like the video i shared with you ^^
i personally LOVE THE VIDEO TO BITS !! :)

p.s. unfortunate events are signs given to us, to remind us to cherish the good moments and not to take things for granted.
