Moving On

What an emo night for me. Geez

There’s a time when a man needs to fight, and a time when he needs to accept that his destiny is lost, that the ship has sailed, and that only a fool would continue. The truth is, I’ve always been a fool.

Tonight's dinner gathering with few of the ex-biomed gang (vik, celeste, nadine, mary, sharon, kenny, me - some couldnt make it) had made me realise that sometimes fate has a cruel way of putting things together. Perhaps, it's better if people just give up when there's no point in fighting for something anymore. When the ship has finally sailed, only a fool would go after it when it's already miles away. But sometimes, it's a lot better to be a fool to go after what we want and need, rather than to regret everything in the end because we never even tried.

No pork at all =)

This is darn funny... haha, take a break, only 4 minutes

 

Life, life and living

Relationships have morphed into a whole different dimension. Suddenly, you find that not everyone is your friend anymore, and even among your friends, you have to tread oh-so-carefully in order to keep them happy. Somehow, there is an element of childishness in all this. What happened to friendships which were unconditional, which were pure? Probably the cynicism of growing up has taken over every dimension of people's lives, even friendships...

Update...

* Long post, go make yourself a cup of cofee first

So... on Monday Sarah wanted to watch 300 (the movie) but for some weird reason or another the phone operator mucked up our phone-to-order tickets.

The result = one fuming Sarah! :P

Thought I’d surprise her by driving to her place to pick her up for the movies, but then again halfway through on Blockhouse Bay Rd she called and told me she’s already caught a bus to Easy Way on Dominion Rd. Haha should’ve seen the look on her face the moment she was further infuriated when she learnt of my antics!

But fear not..! Here’s something I’ve brought along with me to *bribe* her & make her feel happy!

Piggy fitting snugly inside the cell phone holder

Dinner @ KFC (note her still annoyed expression lol)

One happy smiling Sarah after finally getting the tickets!

Milk tea in the movies... yummy!

My precioussss!

Ah this is about the only movie I've wanted to watch for quite some time, partially due to loving Frank Miller's work, liking Sin City a lot and having endless people telling me how great it is.

" Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, "300" concerns the 480 B.C. Battle of Thermopylae, where the King of Sparta led his army against the advancing Persians; the battle is said to have inspired all of Greece to band together against the Persians, and helped usher in the world's first democracy "

Gerard Butler was really good as King Leonides, the fury in his experience, the power in his voice and the violence in his movement.

He's da man!

The whole movie was colour-toned, slightly desaturated and very grainy (like shot with available light and high ISO). This gave it a very interesting and gritty feel, the camera work was also very dramatic and artistic, many of the scenes from the movie would make beautiful still shots.

The fight scenes were frenetic and breathtaking, with a beautiful mix of CGI and live action, virtually flawlessly blended.

This job sucks...

I have to say it's a visual treat, powerful and strong.

Lena Headey was gorgeous, strong yet susceptible as the Queen of the Spartans.

I definitely recommend watching this movie - I give it a 9/10

... and then on Tuesday, we decided to head to Newmarket for bowling and pool after a brief session at the central city library.

Here's some candid shot from Sarah on "How to Play Pool like a Pro"

...and a video tutorial, courtesy of Ms. Sarah

Wednesday

Caught up with a bunch of mates from uni. Pity its just the five of us though but its all good! Had plenty of fun catching up and laughing away:)

We had dinner at Kam Nang Station 2 (the spinoff from the highly successful Kam Nang Station cnr Queen St and Grays Ave). Didn't realised it actually existed haha...

Hurry up...! I can't keep holding this smile any longer...

We went bowling and pool at Newmarket (again!) after that. Haha silly me on a spur of excitement of hitting the spare and then losing my balance while holding on a 14-pound ball, and fell like a humpty dumpy! Got a really, really sore knee and thighs courtesy of the sideways fall! (and it still hurts till this day >.<)

Oh well at least it was fun while it lasted!

Hows YOUR holidays been? :)

Easter Sunday

yummy!

How have you guys been? Hope everyone's having a good holiday.

My tentative TO DO list (mostly with Sarah - don't get jealous yea :P) during the holidays:

1. STUDY STUDY STUDY... I've been really slack and I seriously need to catch up on my readings and studies!
    
2. Watch cool movies (300, Pan’s labyrinth, Ghost rider, Meet the Robinsons)
    
3. Leech a whole lot of songs off BitTorrent as I think Sarahs getting really, really sick with me blasting songs from Il Divo on my car stereo
    
4. Yum Char - when's the last time I set my greedy hands on the Su Mai?
    
5. Embarrass myself with my bowling and pool skills
    
6. KARAOKE with Sarah - uhhmmm I'll think I'll think about it as I don't wanna embarrass her my singing sucks
    
7. Planning a road trip with Sarah - apparently she's so sick of Auckland lol
    
8. Sticker pics with Sarah and Co.
    
9. Indulge myself with Movenpick ice-creams
    
10. Spoil myself with all-you-can-eat steamboat for $16.80.

#10 has been formally accomplished today :) although there were some "side-effects" on poor Sarah after dinner, which i think I won't go into :P

Be safe, be good and stay out of trouble! Have an awesome holidays y'all!
