Went to watch "Flight Plan" with a friend.

The show mainly revolves around Jodie Foster, the Police and the Pilot. Here's a short summary on the show, extracted from gv.com.sg .

"Academy Award-winning producer Brian Grazer ("A Beautiful Mind," "Apollo 13") teams up with two-time Academy Award-winning actress Jodie Foster ("Silence of the Lambs," "The Accused") in the taut psychological thriller, FLIGHTPLAN, directed by Robert Schwentke and written by Peter Dowling and Billy Ray.

Flying at 40,000 feet in a cavernous, state-of-the-art 474 aircraft, Kyle Pratt (FOSTER) faces every mother's worst nightmare when her six year-old daughter, Julia, vanishes without a trace mid-flight from Berlin to New York. Already emotionally devastated by the unexpected death of her husband, Kyle desperately struggles to prove her sanity to the disbelieving flight crew and passengers while facing the very real possibility that she may be losing her mind. While neither Captain Rich (SEAN BEAN), nor Air Marshal Gene Carson (PETER SARSGAARD) want to doubt the bereaved widow, all evidence indicates that her daughter was never on board resulting in paranoia and doubt among the passengers and crew of the plane. Finding herself desperately alone, Kyle can only rely on her own wits to solve the mystery and save her daughter."

Overall I would only say the show is worth 6-7/10... Why ? A few reasons ba,
1) The trailer promises much hype and excitement, but the real thing fall short of the hopes it brought us to think it is...
2) Predictable storyline and plot, but the show at some point, really lead me into believing that the child was dead.. and Jodie Foster was mentally illed...
3) Quite political, especially the part that the Americans/Foreigners kinda accused and all believed that the Arabic guy was involved in some ways..

But overall a good show la, still worthed the ticket monday, especially for a monday tix~ hehe~

Went to a ktv pub where my friend operates a small snack bar inside. The place was kinda good. Good as in atmosphere la, and of course the snacks that my friend cooked, they were NICE~

The pub is very near my house, so i might be visiting more in the future.

But doubt it can last... when i went there was only 3 tables, including the one i was at... and if thats the case, how the ktv pub survived sia... But good la, cos we got the whole ktv to ourselves, can sing till we sian sia.. haha

Need to thank Marcus for the treat and the wonderful snacks! Thanks man~

For the next few days, it was pretty normal stuff, work, home, eat, DOTA, sleep. But got 1 improvement that i am very happy about! I am back to running~ ran 3 times liao for the past 1 wk plus, can slowly see the timing improving~! hehe. and thats what i am happy about~ =P

Hope to run faster, and be in time to get my gold by dec. *hopes*

Ya, now i remembered what i wanna blog yesterday liao~

I wanna blog about that freaking heavy rain at night! Yep, that one that showered over most (or was it all?) part of Singapore, with thunder storms and every other thingy. I was like riding out of camp when the weather was still clear, no rain no nothing... halfway up onto SLE, the heavy downfall came... I was drenched... head to toe... cant see the traffic infront clearly, road was slippery, very slippery... rain was hitting on my face and body... imagine getting hit by something at 80km/hr... thats pain... the rain was so heavy that my bike was crawling on the left lane... no choice, crawling was the safest way to ride if you dun wanna stop and wait for the rain to go over...

Well, that landed me drenched all over... i was nv that badly drenched... yep, there ARE different levels of drench! haha. I reached my doorstep, will water still dripping from my shirt and slacks... =/ and you can feel the amount of water being carried in your uniform, it was that bad.. =/

worse is, my boots was soaked too... i got no extra boot... so can only go to work in that pain... leaving my new socks wet too for the whole morning until i went to the bunk to change into another pain... haiz... i dread the rain so much now... =/

As for today ? nothing much la... work till 5, happy hour in camp till 9.. and here i am at home... mentally drained... shack... feel like sleeping... but i certainly wont end my day, without a game of DOTA~

here i come~ BEYOND GODLIKE~

ciao

Read from the papers yesterday about this wifey who had an affair with her italian boss (who's married btw), brought up divorce to her hubby, and wanted to take both children with her...
The hubby loves her and the family a lot, even sacrificing his high flying job to one that earns much less, but he is able to afford more time with wife and children.
So much to the extent that he is like the "house-hubby".
Like the papers mentioned , "isnt he the perfect hubby every gal is looking for ?"
well, such is the ironic of life that one is never satisfied with wat they have and will never cherished the people around them.
Such a good husband, and the wife did such thing..
This further reinforced my belief that a woman can be the most heartless and evil creature when she needs to... I am not saying all women are like that, but they can be when they choose to be.
Like a friend who's wife of eight years walked out on him to be with a guy she barely knew, leaving the child , parents and household expenses behind... smart ya ?
Lucky in the end the court ruled in favor of Mr. Hubby, he got back the custody of 2 kids. At least, he still keeps what he holds dear. Not letting the wife get away with all the goodies... so selfish of her...
What happen to the wifey ? Lived in America, co-habit with italian boss and his wife. Yup. You read that right. 1 man 2 women.... what the hell is that ? stupid woman ? maybe....

Was chatting with a colleague-cum-dota-player on my way home today, before our bikes moved off from the T-junction.

Friend : "Later do wat ?"
Sam : "Go home play game lo, no programs leh"
Friend : "Play game ? You no girlfriend ?"
Sam : "Nah..."

In my mind I was thinking... ya... i really kinda no life... life revolves around bike, run, swim, game, work, once-a-week-outing with friends (sometimes none at all). It wasnt like last time... I can be out like 4 days in a week ? Always out with her or on my own... now like no more le.. =/

nvm, go do some more shooting tmr!~ ;)

I open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light
I can't remember how
I can't remember why
I'm lying here tonight

I've made my mistakes
Got nowhere to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

I found myself in this song, so much resemblence to how i felt each time and again whenever i thought of her.

"How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
Got nowhere to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me "

I was a boy that everyone thought will grow up to be somebody... I still got a bit of chance although kinda late.. but better than nv... after december, life starts afresh =)

I made my mistakes, i regretted them, I tried to find ways to help myself, but each time it only made me worse off...
Everything looks so long, the night never seems to pass away..

There was this one I thought of getting over with my life... I really did.... after she left me... She's the most loved and treasured person in my life, even til this point of time, no matter as my "was" significant other half or "now" my soul mate. She's the one thing that I really thank god (if there was one) for her presence in my life.

Will there be another gal that will be in my life ?
Its really kinda hard now...
What I want don't want me.
What I don't want , want me.
This is life ya ? =)

Went jogging last night... it was so TIRING!!~ I had not been running for like 2 mths due to the course i was attending. Thus my first run ended up in with a big big strain on my neck and of course, a slow timing... haiz... need to run more and get my fitness back.

First day back to work after a long time. Well well, not quite used to it, almost fell asleep at work place which is a BIG BIG TABOO!! Heng nv!

The worst will be over soon~ GANBATTE~

Just back from swimming at SAFRA Yishun. Swam 18 laps. I know it is very little... but I very long never swim le la.. so progressive a bit lo. hehe

Woke up today with a swollen right eye... dunno wat's wrong anyway, got a lot of protein deposits. Its like, every few minutes that i rub my eyes, there will be protein on my hands... dunno wats wrong...

right now, even when i am blogging, my right eye is still red lo.. but will lesser proteins though. ;)

Sometimes i wish so much to try it out... but i dun wanna hurt pple anymore...
its back to the same old thing, "shld i ? shld i not ?"....

Guys and gals who been here long enough will come to notice that the comments function had disappeared!

Yep, they did!

After the CB spammers spammed my server.... causing the system to be down 3 *beep* times... and my account to be suspended for 2 times, i had decided enough is enough! The comments function had to go!!! But i will find someway to get them back though. In any other case, you guys can still use the shoutbox or my "Contact me" to let me know how you feel. ;)

Just got back home not too long ago.
Went to watch "The Skeleton Key", acted by Kate Hudson, one of my fav actress, her acting is so GOOD~!~! and not to mention she's so SEXXXYYYY~~~ *wolf howls~* haha

Here's a short text preview to the movie,:-
"After New Orleans hospice worker Caroline (Kate Hudson) answers a help wanted ad, she finds herself working as the live-in caretaker of Ben Devereaux (John Hurt), a stroke victim who has lost his ability to speak. Ben's wife, Violet (Gena Rowlands), presents Caroline with a skeleton key to open any door in the house--with the exception of one, which she claims she has never been able to open. But curiosity gets the best of her, and Caroline opens the door to find a wealth of materials representing the old house's history of hoodoo, an ancient form of folk magic. She soon discovers that the house harbors a dark secret--one that Violet knows more about than she first admits."

Its really a good movie, out-of-the-norm endings~ I give it 4/5 ? :) if you guys happen to watch it, share with me your views on it ya ?

I been thinking about this phrase for quite some time now.
"What you wanted you aint never gonna get it. You don't belong to her world, she don't belongs to yours. But you are still gonna go for it, but you still won't get it in the end, will you still continue to pursue ?"
Maybe that's why I feel, I have no more love life in front of me... hahaha.
Oh well..

The brain is very powerful i learnt. If you tell yourself something positive every morning when you look into the mirror, more likely than not, you will slowly evolved into that positivity~ So I believe i will find the kind of girl I want! I can! hahaha

other than the entry below, well, now i on course la, so quite busy .. thats why had not been updating for the past weeks/month. will do so once i can, nearing the end of the course liao.
anyway, will update once more when i back from bbq! ciao~

Was inspecting my bike (a usual fetish) after i parked it, realised that the stickers were tampered with, as in, like someone was trying to peel them off from my bike...
Dun let me know which IDIOT is trying to do that! Hope he kena LANGKAH by car! (ok abit too evil here! but i hate thief!)
Its like, if you want something, buy it with your own money, if not, save for it, if not just admire from afar... why steal ? have some dignity will you ?
haizz... nv still my stickers but damaged them in the process... "smart alecs"...
