Near Miss: Its one Close Call

Almost hit a motorcyclist this evening near my home... heng didnt sia.... My family and I was heading out for dinner at abt 730pm and its was dark and drizzling... Just drove out of my place and was heading to the main road from a slip rd, I took a quick glance to the right didnt see any cars thus didnt slow down..... The next thing I knew was my sis shouting at me to watch it.... I was like going "Huh?".... that was when i looked at my right wing mirror and saw a motorcyclist super close to the side of the car.... I totally didnt see the motorcyclist at all.... Oops.

Ok.... so lesson learnt is "Always slow down at slip roads".... and to drive safely.... Safety first.

Ratatouille: I Love It

I love this movie! Best animation show since The Incredibles was released. Remy the French chef wannabe is so so so CUTE! I realised that Ratatouille is the name of a dish in the show. A definite Must Watch!

Anyway, I will be taking a "long deserved break" from blogging cos sch's starting and I dun think I have much time to blog. Probably can sneak in a few entries here and there.... but i guess it will be me complaining abt things like my fyp... haha... pretty boring stuff huh? Will see u in Dec where Nuttycuppy's World of Fun & Laughter continues!!!

Sat 4/8: Klunch @ Cine

Went Klunch with my ex sup Mr KJF and zijia. yl was supposed to join us but he was sick... Anyway it was great.... Sang songs like 小情歌 and ai hen jian dan (inspired by my good friend and king of Kbox, jun pin).

Think cine has now become my fav hangout place.... makes me feel young again...heheh

Was at cineleisure early to grab tickets to Ratatouille for nxt fri!! Tickets were selling like hotcakes....Apparently there's a special preview nxt fri. This show will only be released on 30th Aug. For the 1st time, I am going to be the first few lucky pple in Spore to catch a new release! (Haha...very honoured indeed)

If u have no idea wat this movie is abt, its a Pixar Animation, abt a cute rat whose ambition is to be a french chef.... Sounds interesting?

3/8/07 Fri: Presentation Day

Went to sch today for my FYP presentation.... Had to do a powerpt presentation on my literature review and my research plan. Met my prof for the first time.....Presented in front of my prof and my graduate supervisor mr dai.

Think the presentation went well...managed to smoke my way through most of the questions my prof asked...

Anyway was waiting for my turn to present and i noticed the student in front of me presenting had like 7 slides.... And i was like going "eh...... i got like 41?" Was thinking whether hers was too little or mine got too many for a 30min presentation....

Anyway after the presentation, the first thing the prof asked me was "So Felix, where are u from?" eh..... I just said Singapore.

Apparently he thought i wasnt local cos he said i didnt have a singaporean accent when i presented... haha.. ok i take it as a compliment.... shows that my angmo got standard lor....heheheh....I was thankful he didnt ask me to present in Chinese...

Anyway, had lunch with him and the rest of the graduate students.... its my first time having a meal with a prof.... ha...but it was still ok...apparently he came to spore to work only 1.5yrs ago.

A Rare Sight indeed

Stopped at a traffic junction.... Looked to my right....And guess wat i saw??? An angmo!!!!!
Yes....an angmo....no ordinary one.... cos he's driving a blue comfort cab..... Tats the first time i saw an angmo taxi driver.... Rare sight indeed.... Thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.....

The Simpsons Movie: A MUST SEE Movie

Watched The Simpsons Movie today at Orchard Cine.... Definitely a Must Watch show of the year.... Worth every single dollar of yr movie ticket... Super hilarious, funny.... Laughed like mad throughout the entire show....

The best scene of the movie was when Homer sank in a quicksand while pointing both his middle fingers at the residents of Springfield... But bcos he was too fat.... he got stuck instead of sinking in... so got beaten up instead.... Highly recommended!!

23/7 Mon: Time to boycott KBox @ Marina Sq

Went Kbox again today... this time Khappy. Supposed to go to Marina Sq branch. But bcos the staff at this branch tried to cheat us we decided to go to Suntec one instead... told the 5 of us tat we can only sing till 530pm bcos they are fully booked in the evening... i mean wat kind of crap excuse was that? Firstly, I dun believe it is full on a Mon... and besides why must we leave at 530pm instead of 7pm when we are paying the full rate? In the end i just said "lets go somewhere else" which took the receptionist by surprise... think she was expecting us to just take up the package.... Will boycott Marina Sq branch from now on... cos it isnt the first time this outlet tried to cheat us.... Other excuses from this branch are "Klunch without lunch cos we run out of lunch boxes... and the rate is the same" and "Yr singing session is cut short till 6pm instead of 7pm because u were late for yr booking"... Pathetic excuses.

Anyway went to Suntec outlet... was quite empty... I still prefer the Orchard Cine outlet... their sound system is the best there... service is good too.

Tried singing some new songs which i concluded were not meant for me
1) 小情歌 - 蘇打綠 (too high... sounds weird when i tried to sing at a lower key)
2) 五月天 - SHE (Too many high notes... cant reached)
3) 记得爱 (need more practice... )
4) 非你莫属 - Tank version (cant hit the high notes towards the end of the song)

Songs that i think are suitable for me
1) 非你莫属 - Ariel Lin version (easier version to sing)
2) 逆光 - Stephanie Sun (Great to sing...love the groove)
3) 眷恋 - F.I.R (Still manageable)

Sun 22/7

Tried a new running route today... Ran from my place to Buangkok Station to Hougang Station and finally ended up at Kovan Station...

Probably about 10km? Just know that i passed like more than 20 traffic lights and zebra crossings...

Noticed there was a shop selling Selegie Soya milk and beancurd near Kovan Station but it was kind of empty... wonder why... maybe its a fake

Anyway was safe and sound at Kovan station and i decided to take the train back... yes the train... haha... tats the good thing abt running along the NEL route... not tat i was tired but bcos i didnt want to go through the process of crossing the traffic lights again...

Maybe the next time will run to Serangoon Station, then Potong Pasir? And maybe Boon Keng Hyflux??? heheh.. will see how then...
