After coming back from Wallaby, i have more than a dozen people commenting that I've lost some weight...especially my face...now thats good news! But i didn't bother to make any effort to maintain it so i went out for a nice sumptuous international buffet dinner with my mum and sister at Trader Hotel's CafeBiz on Tuesday. It was a 1 for 1 offer they got from Women Weekly magazine. There were a big variety of food but it was okay considering I've been having lousy food for the past 40 days.
All 3 of us
Mum and Sis
Yummy isn't it
Some desserts
More desserts
A really hungry man who hasn't had a good meal in a long time
Had a mini outing with my ex CCIS platoon mates on Wednesday. I took a train to town that day because i wanted to drink at Zouk that night. After exiting from Somerset MRT station, i realized that it was raining cats and dogs outside. So I was stranded under the building just near California Fitness. It was just opposite Orchard Cineleisure where i was supposed to meet the rest of the guys, but there's no way i was going to drench myself and feel uncomfortable the whole. So i waited and waited and this girl had to come over and ask me to buy this charity ticket for $10. Being the nice guy that i am and someone who don't really like to reject others, i obliged and became $10 poorer. Anyway it turned out to be a great outing, having not seen most of them for the longest time ever since they left the army more than a year ago, we actually sat down for a movie and dinner in town together that day and reminisced about old times.
The guys chose this movie call Hero. I went into the theater with no idea what the movie is about. Its a feature expansion of one of Japan's highest-rated television series with this bunch of prosecutors being handed a case of manslaughter that takes a twist into high-level political corruption. Not the most interesting of movies you can catch now but its still half entertaining.
After the movie, we went to Vil'age at Heerens for dinner before we headed for Zouk where i had made arrangement with the rest of my unit friends to celebrate Xiaoqing's birthday. It turned out to be a wild wild night with everybody dancing and drinking like there's no tomorrow lol. Fortunately i controlled myself and made my own way home safe and sound. I have loads of photos though. Check out the wildness!
Met up with Weijian on Thursday after his final paper. Both of us wanted to get some presents and do some shopping ourselves but ended up empty handed. We had dinner at Takashimaya's basement 2's Fisherios. We continued our shopping around Orchard before we decided to watch The Kingdom. It turned out to be quite a good movie with its settings in Saudi Arabia. After a terrorist bombing in Saudi Arabia that killed whole families of Americans, this FBI agent assembled an elite team to fly there on a mission to investigate and locate the terrorists. Watch it for the actions and Saudi Arabia, a country most of you haven been to and probably won't plan to go in the near future. Other than that, ignore the small unrealistic fightings and cheesy conversations and the show will turn out fine.
The fish and chips from Fisherios, i copied this from my sis's album lol
Its also nice to see how the show depicted loyalty to country in the show. But somehow sad to say you don't really see this in Singapore. Regardless of how competent our government is, how safe how country is, how successful and affluent our society is doing and how we miss home every time we go abroad, people here are just afraid to say that they love their country. They do their national service with reluctance and back mouth the government whenever we can. Lol thats how we are, sad to say...but its true.
