Random Ramblings

Coz I wanna watch Batman Begins and Mr & Mrs Smith (again, for both), I'm looking for some one to accompany me.

I promise it would be a fun night (or day). Someone watch with me plsssssssssssssssssssssss

To cheer myself up cause of my lost phone (what, you don’t know what I’m talking about?!?! Go read my last post), I decided to go and watch Batman Begins.

WOW! I’m amazed. It’s my favourite Batman. Christian Bale portrayed the Dark Knight perfectly. After the past few Batmans (even a Batgirl, which was too big), it was beginning to fade, become some ridiculous comic to screen adaptation. But Christopher Nolan did a fantastic job on the whole (yes, a few scenes were a bit OTT and some ridiculous) and I think/feel this is the best Batman yet.
By showing the core of a man, it makes Batman a lot of reachable and understandable. How many people can actually identify with a billionaire "playboy" who dresses up like a bat to hunt people down? The beginning - when they were setting the story - was a good touch. It was just enough to make everything believable, but also put it slightly out of reach - it is Batman after all. For a man without any superhero powers, he is an enigma of his own. Struggling like any other human being with emotions - his fear of bats, guilt towards his parents death and even the revenge that he could not take - yet he also finds a level of acceptance that most cannot find and uses these emotions/anger to create "Batman"
The stunts were great and it doesn’t fail to deliver on the action. With a good storyline to set and later backup it was an easy watch. By means of Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), the gadgets were given a realistic view, such as the memory cape and Kelvar bodysuit instead of picking items from the sky, they all had some grounding we can associate it with. Thankfully, this Batman has no nipples on his suit. Come on, there is really no need for it… it just looks dumb. (Although for the men, there are prominent nipples on Katie Holmes).

I keep my fingers crossed that Christian Bale will do the next Batman – he is the best so far.

A comparative guide

After much thought, and a little persuasion. Ok so Al wasn't really persuading, she just said that she would see me there. We all thought it was a good idea.

So begins my story of this day. Took a bus to get to ulu Hougang, and on the map that I was looking at it seem that if I had reached Kovan MRT station, I had missed my stop. Dutifully looking out the entire time, suddenly I spotted in a distance a Kovan Melody sign. Alarm bells started ringing in my head. Therefore, when I saw the MRT station I quickly jumped off the bus!

I tried walking backwards – but got even more lost so went back to the station trying to consult a map which showed nothing helpful at all! I was walking towards the bus stop again after going to the ladies to clean up a bit (Damn hot evening! I was hot & sticky from the walking). Right after I crossed the road (to the bus stop), I reached into bag to get my phone to try and call Al to see if she had any idea where I was in relation to the location. Bloody hell, my phone was missing!! So I quickly turned around searching the ground as I walked back to the toilets but my darling Sony Ericsson phone was NO WHERE TO BE FOUND! I called the phone while searching around but to no avail :(
My phone has gone to someone else…

I’m depressed – I liked that phone… and I had things in there which is very dear to me.

Of coz to make matters worse, I was curt with Al as I was stressed out over my missing phone. Sorry babes, really am.

I’ll have you know that all these quizzes I’m posting is my friend’s fault. Nearly every weekend he does a whole bunch of quizzes, which obviously makes me do some. Definite way to kill time I swear! Here is a new bunch, just coz I luvvvvvvvvvv you guys so much. Some of the pictures are amazingly beautiful anyway.



Your wings are BROKEN and tattered. You are
an angelic spirit who has fallen from grace for
one reason or another - possibly, you made one
tragic mistake that cost you everything. Or
maybe you were blamed for a crime you didn't
commit. In any case, you are faithless and
joyless. You find no happiness, love, or
acceptance in your love or in yourself. Most
days are a burden and you wonder when the
hurting will end. Sweet, beautiful and
sorrowful, you paint a tragic and touching
picture. You are the one that few understand.
Those that do know you are likely to love you
deeply and wish that they could do something to
ease your pain. You are constantly living in
memories of better times and a better world.
You are hard on yourself and self-critical or
self-loathing. Feeling rejected and unloved,
you are sensitive, caring, deep, and despite
your tainted nature, your soul is
breathtakingly beautiful.

You are a Mermaid, who sits on a rock in
the sea, looking and watching all humanity with
curiosity in your eyes. You have a two-sided
personality - On one hand, you revel in your
freedom and often prefer to live in your own
private dreams and on the other hand, humanity
intrigues you and you love watching on.

You
are actually very kind at heart and, hating to
see people hurt, you despise injustice. You
probably have one or two special friends, who
mean the world to you.

Also; you are probably
quite political, wanting to see justice done in
the world.

You are quite the dreamer, needing
your freedom and personal space to dream your
little dreams. You love to escape into a book
or some good music and just drift away.

Some
of your good points are that you are sensitive,
compassionate and a freethinker. Your bad
points are that you may come across as cool and
aloof to others and probably have a tendency to
depression.

You are the ultimate dreamer with
a kind - yet troubled heart.


Are you a Princess, Enchantress, Faerie, Mermaid or Toad? (with pictures!)

You are a secretive princess. You were born into a
gilded cage. You hated the rules and
restrictions about walking daintily, eating
neatly and always having to look good.
You hated the cameras always flashing in your face
and therefore you hide your true self, behind
plain clothes. But your beauty is still
stunning. Due to the way you continually hide
yourself from the life of rules, you are a
natural rebel. Independence is your strongest
point - you may care for others, and even
depend on them...but when it comes right down
to it, the only one you need is yourself. You
have a strong sense of who and what you are, no
one can control your heart or mind, or even
really influence your thinking. You have a very
serious mind - never acting immature and
harbouring a superior disgust of those who do.

Action: A driver (of a car) stretching over the person sitting in the passenger seat to open the door on that side.

What does that normally bring to your mind? What image popped up in your head this time?

To me, it shows a level of familiarity and care. I saw that just happened recently, and it tugged really hard at my heart. To those who are at the receiving end of this kind of action on a daily basis, remember it is special.

A hilarious dinner and an extremely warming one (no I’m not talking about the climate only).

Since my friend and I both love steamboat; the plan was to go enjoy / treat ourselves one weekday night. After a few hurdles later, I was standing at the Marina Bay station for the late woman – even though she picked the later timing! Of course we both look like nutcases when she starts waving insanely when she spots standing there hungrily & grumpily. As if I am welcoming her back from some long trip, which she promptly tells me it felt like for her.

When we get to the place, we happily settle in & are raring to go after having a look at the spread. While we are picking our food, our live prawns arrive in some small container— piaking away that I was a bit fearful they might just knock the plate of the top and jump onto the road. First we started arguing (my friend & I, not the prawns) about the water temperature. She wanted to put them into the soup, but I insisted that it wasn’t hot enough, so we have to wait so we don’t torture them in lukewarm water. After which, we were all set to drop the prawns in—and they were still piaking so both of us we not sure what to do, coz she was afraid it might just flip hot water all over us. So imagine, 2 girls standing at a table, squealing (or somewhat near that) at the prospect of putting the darn prawns in. With much fanfare, squeals, grumbles and arguing, 2 of those prawns finally got dumped into the water. I swear, those prawns are feisty; till their last moments, they were still FLIPPING!! (I think this is the reason why there must always be guys when there is live stuff to cook) I believe these two nonsensical girls garnered a lot of unwanted stares even tho it was a weekday.

By the time we were done, we had ate & talked so much and such interesting conversation that was. For some reason, it had turned to dogs and what they would eat. I showed her how my old dog used to fight with this kid suspender he got hold of one (with growling sound effects too) – and the nut started laughing like crazy. Said I looked exactly as a dog would. Darn girl, I am a dog! According to her, her best friend does a great impression of her dog. I must see that one day, hahahaha

Great company and fun on a weekday night. Guess steamboat bbqs are good ideas for a weekday night. Anyone up for the next one?

Update 14/6/05: Now my hot friend says we need to knock the prawn on the head prior to putting it in the water. Anyone knows if there is any truth in that? Coz its going to be hell just to knock the damn bugger flipping prawn, let alone it's head.

My friend has recently been posting a lot of the quizzes on his blog and I've been tempted for quite a while. In a bid to not make this a quiz-blog, all the quizzes will be in one long long post. If this irks you, please remember to leave an anonymous note telling me to die or not to post this kind of crazy stuff again.
