Warmth
Lots of stuff happened during the last few days, didn’t have time to blog up until now, yep, its’ a goddamned Tuesday and I’m stuck here in office facing my crummy PC, pretending to work.
Ok first off, Saturday afternoon, Erin came over to my house as we prepared to set off to Bishan Junction8 for a bout of movies, she had booked Ella Enchanted…which confirms one thing, “I AM TOO OLD” why you ask? Amid all the cutesy singing and joyful dancing, I could barely trace out any plot, the paper thin characters were as hollow as my Juile wafer roll, and the CGI effects? Cartoon-ish would be overestimating it…The movie’s only saving grace was the female lead played by some Liv Taylor look-alike who has some seriously pushed-up bosoms which made her look like she was overflowing. The only reason I didn’t doze off was due partially to a little wretch sitting beside me who seemed to be more engrossed with feeling my calfs with her slippers than watching the movie. It was horrible! She looked like XCM with a elevated forehead and covered from head to toe in disgusting puberty pimples…I clamored to Erin’s side for safety. (2 out of 5)
We surveyed our environs as the next movie was till 9pm, Junction8 has since changed a lot, an extension houses at least 20 new shops, one in particular caught my eye, Man Studio (opp. Swensens’), they sold clothes that were extremely contemporary…fell in love with a particular pair almost immediately…gonna buy it this Saturday! Although it costs a whopping $36…damnit!
Then we were off to Plaza Sing! Had dinner at Ajisen before the movie, Erin had Beef Ramen (thick soup with strong beefy taste) whilst I took the Char Siew Ramen (soup was good, char siew was sub-par) accompanied by soft shell crap and maki! After filling our tummies we did some people watching, before heading down to Starbucks for some Pure Chocolate Frapps topped with cream, hot fudge and chocolate bits, SINFUL!
We watched The Village next, wasn’t expecting much since I watched the abysmal Signs and the terrific 6th Sense…It began pretty good actually, lots of suspense and creepiness, but mid-way the movie lost steam, the characters are revealed and suddenly the movie ain’t so scary, the twist attempted to pull the wool over your eyes, but the execution was so poor…I wondered if the novel was just as bad. Otherwise, there are some parts of the show that are insidiously funny…Why Night Sharmaylan included them beats the hell out of me, they seemed more suitable in a Ben Stiller movie. (3 out of 5)
Headed home early to prepare for our big day at Junction8 on August 8th, yup, it’s Judgement Day, 39 scoops challenge. The stage was set, Erin, Germaine and me were all decked out in sponsored attire, Erin and her buddy adorned Swensen Polo Tees, while I got the Power98 Tee. Deejays from Power98 were busy working up the crowd as we checked the competition out, it was bad, some of them looked huge, others small and sickly…at that moment I thought we could at least aim for 2nd or 3rd place. But enough about worrying…the time came, the 8 teams of 3 stood before a massive crowd that had gathered around to witness the spectacle. The media was there too, lots of friends telling me they saw my cute face on TV ha!
Ice-creams were kept in cooler boxes and separated in cups, 39 in all…we were given water and metal spoons…the atmosphere was intense! I was unfortunate enough to stand beside this mountain of a man. Who seemed dead set on winning…he didn’t say much, but his steely glance spoke a thousand words, there’s no way we could beat him even if his teammates looked like wussies… The bell rang and we started off, contestants hurriedly digged in. I spotted variations in consumption, from the usual wolfing down every single thing to the articulate ones, who chopped the ice-cream up before slurping it down. I looked at the behemoth, he took an average of 5 spoonfuls to clear one cup…while they had already finished 5, my team were still eating our first cup! We were completely outclassed!
There’s no way we could beat him…in 9 minutes the monster and his team devoured 39 scoops…while we..were on our 18th, the coldness had gotton to my mouth and tongue, it hurt whenever I tried to swallow the ice-cream, my baby too was complaining of the immense pain. In the end we came in 6th…although we didn’t win the grand prize, we got a belly full of Swensen’s ice-cream and complimentary set meals at Swensen’s and free movie passes at GV! HURRAH! Oh..I’m swearing off ice-cream for the next few months at least…(Pics can be found in my album section)
Bloated from our outing, Erin and I rested at home and literally lazed the day away. Didn’t leave the house yesterday, stayed in to watch the NDP Parade, I won’t delve into Politics today, or about the significance of having yet another Lee in the hot seat. I just enjoyed the celebrations as an event to commemorate, it’s the first NDP I spent with her, and I hope we get to spend a lot more together…When the fireworks came on, we rushed out of my house to catch a glimpse! From where we stood, we had a good view of the massive fireworks display; the cool breeze that blew further enhanced the mood. I really liked standing there with her watching the fireworks…it was just so romantic! I wished the fireworks would last forever…
Anyway, today’s our 9th month anniversary together, I’m not sure if we are able to spend it together, but I did like my darling to know that wherever you are, my heart is always with you…
Happy Anniversary Ah Girl! *Kissies! Muackz! Muackz! I love you! =)
