5 Days Around Christmas
Christmas Eve.1 Day Before Christmas.

Spent the whole afternoon with Andy in Film lab wrapping up the job which only ended early next morning (for Andy at least). I rushed down to town to catch Alvin and the Chipmunks with Alec and Ning. Not a bad movie for its cuteness and nice remixes but the storyline is SOOOOO boring. Went for last minute (to its most literal sense) Christmas shopping around Cineleisure and finally ending up at this new restaurant thingy for a Christmas dinner/supper. Camera is always the toy when the 3 of us are together. Well, most of the time. [for more details, catch Ning's blog]

Staring at the pretentious couple across the restaurant.

Alec: "Most natural"

Chirstmas Day. The Day.

Had dinner with my sec school buds at Park Royal Hotel. The first thing Shirley did when I saw her was to ask me to carry her bag of presents. Wait, she didn't ask. She passed me her bag of presents. -.- Boon is as auntie as usual. Meixia is now Mrs Lee (well, if ROM is soon) Shirin is auntie also with her gold Casio watch. Went over to Bugis to seek out post-dinner activity and ended up at TCC. Well, we are suppose to go Coffee Club for Ice Lychee. Boon and Xia was sure its at bugis and that place sells it. Boon apparently has been there a couple of times. NOT! TCC is different from Coffee Club. As usual, always had awful drinks at TCC. Condemned.

Szeming's drink rocks. Mine sucks.
The last survivors

Boxing Day.1 Day After Christmas.

Went out for dinner with Chia Meng and Weidong. Nothing big, just Burger King. Chit Chat on random stuff. Caught Citizen Dog after that. Very Amelie, with saturated colours, whimsical stories and many effects. Nice though it reminded me of My Girl in some ways.

Day after Boxing Day.2 Days After Christmas.

Went to send Chia meng's laptop for servicing before heading to Ikea to get some cool shit (which is sold out). Headed back to sch to realize can't get to work cause they are upgrading the Final Cut Pro. Denny's job is so totally delayed. I'm so screwed. Kex pop by after jamming to go down to town together for movie with Mattina and Andy.

my idiotic hair that day

Across The Universe is so damn good. It was a nice interpretation of Beatles' songs with strong references to things happening during that period, like war, freedom, hippies and all. It was a little too long at certain parts and Prudence's story seems a little weak. All in all, it was a nice movie with strong visuals. Love it.

Headed down to east Coast for dinner/supper. So nice to just walk along the shoreline and chat. Too bad we had to leave so early. Bunked in with Chia meng since its too far for Andy to send me home. Thom called to say results are out. Well, wasn't too good which was kin of expected. GPA 3.9. BAD. [Note: as of now, I still haven seen my results with my own eyes]

Yesterday.3 Days After Christmas.

Slept in till mid-day before heading to PS to meet up with artistic director of Little Red Shop (whom I met when helping with Gabby's project 3Men3Women).I'm helping him to do a simple edit of some of his shows to put up on the Little Red Shop. He's also inviting me to help out on one of his upcoming shows which looks super duper exciting. Had a nice long chat on that span from art to theatre to acting to creativity to life to laptops. Felt so much like a young boy with so much to learn. A critic which will spur me to improve my works. So looking forward to work with them.
