morning glory & charlic st cloud with the installation of the fibre-optic internet connection and my asiabox, i've been streaming a lot of movies. especially movies that i've missed the past year due to my hectic schedule. of course, some of them were good and others were bad. two of the more memorable movies i've watched are morning glory and charlic st cloud.  one can never go wrong with the star-studded cast of morning glory. rachel mcadams, diane keaton and of course, a-lister, harrison ford. also, eye candy patrick wilson was definitely engaging! a light-hearted movie about news producer becky fuller reviving a morning talk show called daybreak was entertaining. and i will not mind watching it again!  next, charlic st cloud. i can definitely see zac efron making more movies in the years to come. not a newcomer on the big screens, he has a magnetism about him that is very attractive. also, the plot delved into the spiritual world and dealt with poignant issues surrounding death. not one to be missed!

7 years and counting we are meeting up more frequently, which is so good because we are still catching up regularly even after graduating from sajc for seven years! i met siyu for lunch at parkway parade. finally could grab hold of that busy woman and sit down for a meal at toby's.     the menu and the interior reminded me of nydc.   tried an interesting concoction of pear smoothie, something you rarely get anywhere else. it was mild and not overly sweet, a great accompaniment to the meal.  siyu had the grilled chicken salad. the serving was so big she had to ask for additional serving of dressing.  i had pasta, grilled chicken in light cream sauce. i finished everything!  then, we walked around parkway parade and came across an amazing balloon store and got bryan this gigantic cars helium balloon! after that, we joined bryan at his prudential fun fair at changi exhibition centre, where we stayed a while.   it was in the middle of nowhere. literally. even after changi airport! you definitely need a car to get there.      we met up with angelo and lil. siyu left and the three of us went on a gluttony trip! starting with sunset grill & pub at seletar airbase, a super-duper isolated and primitive place.      it was like going back to the past and having our meal in a kampong. while it was very secluded, there was a queue!       we were there for their famous chicken wings, which angelo had been raving about. they have spiciness levels from one to ten and anything above is off the menu. i heard if you finish half a dozen of level thirty, you are eligible to be on their wall of fame.  we tried level three and i'm sad to announce that i'm a wuss! it was hot enough for me. i don't think i'm up to try any level above that.   so, on the way home, we decided to stop for prata at jalan kayu.     angelo ordered thosai and it was probably the most humongous one we ever saw!  i had strawberry prata which wasn't sweet enough for me. lil ordered margarine and sugar, very unhealthy but worth the calories.  i can't wait for our next clique outing! @ 08:25
fiber-optic communication according to wikipedia: i'm loving the fiber-optic connection in my house! it's so much faster than singtel's broadband that had extremely weak signals and low speed. now i'm uploading pictures and streaming videos in less than half the time! Tuesday, July 26, 2011 @ 21:33
biaojie's wedding  another of my cousin got married just last week! my biaojie yingxia got married to her long time boyfriend roger on 22 july 2011 at mandarin oriental. it was another family get-together as we all dressed up for the occasion.    lovely wing ring from diva. so beautiful i bought another just in case i lost this one!  me wearing my asos dress. loving the beautiful neckline and the pleated details.  sis and her classic black and white dress from her shopping spree in bangkok.               introducing the bride and the groom!   it was an extravagant seafood feast, scallop, crabs, cod fish, sharkfin, lobster. all of which was wasted on me! so in the middle of the meal they switched me to the vegetarian diet before...      serving me chicken wings!      and it ended with a chocolate cake layered with chocolate sponge, mousse and crunchy later. wishing the happy couple many joyful years to come!
