Sex and the City

(This is an entry from last year 30th May, which I’d posted wrongly under PAGE)

And I watched it yesterday at Golden Village, Tiong Bahru. When we knew that it’ll be this May last year, Cuiling and I made a pact to watch it together. We are huge fans of the series.

My first exposure was at Genki’s home in 1998, I think. Da Jie’s friend had lent her the first season, so happen I was at their home rotting away. I didn’t know what’s the show talking about then as it was all about ‘fuck’ and ’sex’.

And when I really want to watch it again, I found that the show is banned in Singapore. Downloading from the Internet is near impossible as I’m surviving on dial up 56K then. That dragged on to me finishing my Secondary education and getting my Diploma in the Poly.

My chance came when Maine who was working in Pionner then, asked me whether is there anything I want as she sort of has connection to get the pirated DVDs. Just for the record. One of the reason to why my Army Life is so colorful and ain’t boring is because of Sex and the City. My weekend is spent watching the DVDs.

This series later became one of Maine’s favorite and it became a craze in her company. I heard from her that quite a handful of people purchased the chiong copies too. Haha! Thanks to me!

And finally after close to 6 months… The movie hits the screen. Our long wait is over!

2 day before the big day, Cuiling had already went online to book the tickets. We narrowed down to 3 different locations, Plaza Singapura, VivoCity or Tiong Bahru. We chose Tiong Bahru is because the seats selection at the other 2 outlets kinda sucks. I’m not going to spend 2 hours in the theater, sitting at the corner sit and watching the movie looking sideway. Tiong Bahru is really ‘deserted’ which is a plus for us who really want to enjoy the show. As usual, the feeling is like ‘going back home’.

You know how some show (like Buffy/Charmed) sort of get boring after a few seasons? Sex and the City doesn’t! The ratings given by 8-days isn’t that good, and I was keeping my fingers very crossed. Turned out, the movie isn’t a disappointment. It brought me the laughters, ‘the Woo and the Ah’. I love it.

Ideas for my 09/09/09

Okay! I saw this on a website and copy and paste here. Maybe I should get it printed out and pass it to all my close pals on my birthday, get them fill it up for a laugh… Muahaha

It’s a girl thing

I couldn’t find a white bag around.

Therefore I make do with those white NTUC plastic bag.

I put some of the my new RENOMAs into the bag.

Then I emptied the content on my bed.

…

…

…

And I didn’t screamed!

It’s must be a girl thing -_-

Sharon with her VS and Mcs

After collecting her latest Victoria’s Secret purchase package @ Ten Mile Junction, Sharon dropped by my house with Mcdonalds for lunch as “I don’t have to have lunch alone!” she said.

As soon as she entered my room, she hopped onto my bed and emptied that big, white package. The whole time screaming away. I can’t understand that though. Girls seem to scream @ almost everything. I don’t remember me being like that when I get new underwears.

… Or was it that big, white package?

As soon as she tore one opened from it’s plastic packaging, she flashed the whole triangular undies right under her chin, front and back ( with GET LOST imprinted @ the back ) and asked, “MEI MAH (Pretty not?) !”

I nodded my head in agreement. I’m a huge fan of their annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Someone from the 2003 show had said, “It’s (the show) about the most beautiful women in the world in laundrette!” True enough, it’s the one show whereby famous models come together ( “Other then fashion week in Milan!” Naomi Campbell said in another year ) and strut down the runway in laundrette. Woohoo!

“Can I have a feel of it…” I asked Sharon, who handed over her newly purchased with a questioning look. “No! I just want to know why are there some sick perv out there who enjoy stealing it!”

… And it actually felt great. Still, I’m not going to make that a sick ‘career’.

She also said that these are called ‘Men Briefs’ type.

I got a shock. I asked her, “Meaning these can be wore by males also?”

She gave me an eye-roller and explained patiently that it’s because there isn’t any lace, which looks like men briefs.

Well, at least I learnt something new today. Haha

Dinner @ Lim Peh’s Home with Yuan Feng, Zhong Sheng and Yu Jin

Of all the original 10 fellow Charlie Spec-mates, I’m still in touch with 8 of them. Not forget to mention, Ming Yong, one of my best pal is from there.

Lubin, Bong and Jordan met up @ my home today. Reason being simple, I can’t go out! Haha… I tried to get Cheng Lim, he’s still in Chicago. Both Ming Yong and Ming Jin are working. Desmond is busy with his events and Frank is having one of his social engagement.

Later, I found out from Bong the reason for him being only able to turn up @ 7pm is coz he’s working as an intern, part of his scholarship. Not a choice but it’s compulsory.

While waiting for Bong, we watched films to kill time. I emerged from my room with 2 choices,

The Brothers Grimm

 or Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within.

We agreed on the former.

Halfway through, we decided to shut it as a) Jordan is getting bored, b) Lubin had already fallen asleep and c) I’m getting restless. The show is VERY boring. Kinda disappointing, as the male leads are Matt Damon and Heath Ledger. Both are supposed to deliver good shows. Maybe it’s due to a lame script. Luckily, I bought it @ Cash Converter for $2. I’m so going to sell it back to them. Haha.

It was then I remembered Maine passed me 2 DVDs before I went for the operation,

Vantage Point

and The Bucket List.

 We’d decided to go for the former as it seems promising. No offense to you, The Bucket List. I’d read and heard about the good reviews. I will watch you another time.

Vantage point is DAMN good. Where was I when it was screening in the cinema? I can’t believed that I’d actually missed such a good show. And Sigourney Weaver is in the first 15 mins already. I’d been a fan after watching her in Alien Quadralogy (Get away from her, YOU BITCH!) and Copycat. Though her role in this show is quite forgettable, still it’s her. Haha… I love the way the film was being shot. I’m not going to spoil it for you here, go catch it yourself.

Bong arrived around 645pm. I haven’t seen him for a long time, the last time was before we went to US for his studies. It was great to see him again. And he’s ’serving’ his intern around NUH, which is a good thing. Since I will be going to NUH for review this coming Monday, a lunch meet up was set. I will try Desmond again, since his campus is in NUS. Haha…

We had Pizza and KFC for dinner. Since we couldn’t get through the KFC hotline, Lubin sacrificed and went down to Bukit Panjang Plaza to get it. The good thing? We saved $3 of the delivery charge. Jordan readily offered to stay to keep me company. However, we all knew that he’s just being lazy. Haha…

And I almost killed him today. I was explaining to him what the doctors had did to me for the 3rd operation, ” They took 1cm bone from here ( pointing to my left lower leg) and put it right here (pointing to my left kneecap )!”

“Does that means that you are 1cm shorter?” He asked.

… See what I meant?

Haha… Still he’ll be flying off tomorrow back to Sydney for studies. It won’t be till December that I get to see him again.

Thanks for visiting the limp~

Lunch @ Lim Peh’s Home with Joanne, Fay and Genki

And the 3 of them came over for brunch. We had Burger King. Ever since Carls Jr, I seldom or rather rarely BK. I almost forget the taste of Mushroom Swiss Burger. Even my mom loves it. You see? It’s her first time having that burger.

The last time the 4 of us get together was a month ago? @ Anchorpoint’s Xing Wang.

I think it’s only with close cousin that you can sit and chat away the whole afternoon away. They were here around 1230pm. Fay and Genki went of @ 430pm, while me and Joanne continued all the way till 6 plus. Her hubby, Jason, came over to pick her up. Sweet~

Thanks for visiting the limp~

Kee’s Gang Visit

My humble home ( actually belongs to my mum, by law, not mine) was crowded by 5 people last night. Initially, I had only expected Ming Yong, Angelia and Hui ping. Both Ben Woon and Lily’s appearance took me by surprise. Thanks for visiting the limp!

They presented me with a folio titled, ‘Kee Lin’s Book of Favorite’.

Inside that ‘book’ are filled with cut-outs of things that I heart most. They had included ‘Zouk’s Long Island Tea’, the drawing done by Hui Ping. Thanks very much, you made my day!

Lily gave me 2 carton of milk, saying that she owed me one from the previous one. She wasn’t able to visit me as she had family to attend to the last minute.

After having their dinner, both Angelia and Lily walked to the window and stood there. Feeling curious, I asked them what are they dong as they are non- smokers. Lily replied, ” Looking at cute guys!”

It’s already 10plus which is equal to dark. I informed her that their only chance is that basketball court directly opposite.

Lily turned her head and look out of the window eagerly, “Where? The one around the carpark!”

“Yes! But the lights are already shut off because it’s over 10 pm!”

Still, that didn’t failed to deter them. On and off, I can hear giggling.

Haha…

The rest of us watched Fei Tian Xi Shi, the one starring Myolie Wu, who had made a huge sacrifice by putting on the pounds just for that role. I was surprised to hear MY commented that Myolie look alright in the show. All along, I thought that he’s a chubby-phobic. I voiced out my worried thoughts to him, and he said, “We are not that close! Bu Shou!”

-_-”

Lao Hu Cha

On the evening that I was discharged, Maternal Small Aunt and family popped by my home with home-cooked meal while Maternal 2nd Aunt bought me a box of Polleney ‘Essence of Black Fish with American Ginseng’ ( Trust me! It taste like fuck! But I will finished it because it’s supposed to be good for the leg ), a bag of 3 in 1 Milo ( Woohoo~ I’m a fan of Milo ever since those hospital stay ) and a bag of 3 in 1 Nestum Cereal ( Just nice for supper ).

Last night ( Sunday), Maternal Big Uncle and family dropped by for a surprise visit. I was damn stunned. Coz unless it’s Chinese New Year, or major happenings e.g. funeral, else we seldom meet up. I adore his 8 year old daughter. The same girl who shocked me on Chinese New Year by singing Leona Lewis ‘Bleeding Love’. Back in those years, all I knew how to sing was ‘It’s I who build Community’.

The new generation. They just scare you, dont they?

My Mum whom also haven’t seen her elder brother for quite a while, asked him about that wound on his leg. He had a minor accident back then and apparently the wound is still there, with a square piece of dressing covered over it.

Mum asked, “Is it healing?”

Uncles replied, “Those things that usually go through slow processes will turn out with the best results!”

-_______________-” That’s my Uncle!

He once said that drinking Tiger beer is actually not bad for the body as it’s just a normal intake of malt and that Tiger beer is actually called Tiger Tea = Lao Hu Cha.

Haha~

Because I’m born in the Year of the Cow

Maine suggested that I should go pray after I recovered at Bugis. Honestly, it had been a long time since I last went and I don’t want to be those kind of people who will only go just because of the recent bad luck/mishap. She reasoned that I can go return offering after everything turns out fine.

Therefore, it’s settled. Once I can hit the streets, we will go together and she will have to bring me around the new shopping center in Bugis to check it out. What’s the name again? Illumina or something?

The fact that she does go to the temple still surprises me, as you just don’t usually link this to a girl ( approaching her mid-20s ) who swear by branded bags ( Burberry, Gucci, Long Champ etc), draw her eyebrows and clearly doesn’t stuff a small hankie at the side of her bra.

I almost fell off my chair when she declared that she’s going to stop eating beef.

“Because of Guan Yin?” I asked.

“No… It’s because I’m born in the Year of Cow!”

…

…

…

Can someone kindly hit her at the back of her head with a hammer?

Thanks Y.J

Yong Jie visited me today with his girlfriend, Xin Yu, and a box of Brands. That shall be my 3rd box and I haven’t even start on the 2 earlier boxes yet.

He’s my buddy from SISPEC, as what he told my mum, ” I used to sleep beside him!” What he meant was the bed next to me. The both of us used to wash the toilets together. And after a day out there, we will wash our uniform in the evening and we would pair up to wrench the uniforms dry, one taking each end. This was done, to save us strength as we were both too shagged out, from those pull-ups and excercises.

Look at him now-> Pursuing a degree in NTU and have a pretty girlfriend, who’s studying in NTU too.

Look at me now-> Still very single with a broken kneecap.

Good friends around me always seem to led a better life. Haha…

He was complaining to me about how he felt so cheated of $30. He was supposed to get $200 as he cleared his IPPT with a Silver. However he was only given $170 because his Safra Card was auto-renewed. I tried to console him that he can at least get better deals @ Carls Jr, but it seems like he don’t Carls Jr. Your all time favorite is not equal to your buddy all time favorite haha…

How I met his girlfriend is also quite abit of story…

After not meeting Yong Jie for like 2 whole years, he suddenly contacted me around end of November last year, asking me to Zouk. There’s this event and the girl he like be going was the actually the main reason. Therefore, I became the guy who accompanied his buddy to meet the girl that he like so he won’t feel awkward, kind of guy!

And look at them now, happily attached ( We had celebrated our 6th months anniversary just recently). I cheekily asked them whether have they explore the whole of Singapore already? To which they replied, “Mei you lah” in unison. Haha… How sweet~ They will be going to Zouk again on the 1st of December, just to celebrate their happy first year.

School re-opening coming August for them. Another major hole be burning in his pocket. He will have to fork out $130 for the Freshmen Orientation Camp, I reminded him about the $170 that he had got from IPPT.

…

…

He replied,”No! I’d already spent $20 on that Brands for you! Plus the petrol fee for driving to fetch her ( looking at the girlfriend ) and coming down to meet you ( looking at me), plus the coupon and why the carpark here ain’t free parking on weekend?”

-_-”

As usual, that’s one of my good friends!

They always seem to be like the niao-est people in the world! lolz
