So then Matthias smsed me, which I ignored since I was half-fuming while I was clearing the dust. Then JX called and ask me to go for a movie. Couldn’t decide what to watch so I suggested Haispray. So yadda yadda, after all the planning and calling up of Javin, Matt and JX, we decided to head to Tampines Mall to catch the movie. Matthias came a little late so we couldn’t catch Hairspray. My bad, I told him to come to TM since it was nearer for the rest of us and he was the only one who stayed the furthest. Oh wells. Gary Cao Ge life-sized poster! Birthday cakes! Warped Samuel's face using my phone. *All pictures were taken using my new SE handphone. Sms me your numbers if you haven’t done so, I’m using the same number. Thanks.

Happy yet not-so-happy.
Saturday was like any typical Saturday, a day when I wake up early in the morning to go for Chinese tuition. Got home from tuition after that and had to contend with air-con repairmen who were servicing our air-conditioners.
Dad threw a tantrum after that and said our house was like a “bloody pig style” and that it was a “shit hole” because of all the clutter and dust, saying he was sure the repairman laughed that our house was so messy. He was shouting his head off and throwing things around the house because they either got in his way or was an eyesore.
Like hello, I just got back from tuition and I don’t need to deal with people yelling around the house. One thing led to the next and soon both my mum and dad were yelling so like whatever, I usually deal with their quarrels by keeping quiet. I won’t bother. Anyways, he told me that since I had nothing to do (but I was doing something, I was reading newspapers until he started hollering.), I was assigned to clear the dust off the trophies and family photos.
Oh gosh I sat at the trophy and photo area for almost 2 hours, scrubbing and wiping dust off everything. Though there were moments of nostalgia when I was looking at my baby photos, which I must say were really very cute. Ah, how I miss my baby days. I found my Johnsons & Johnsons 1992 calendar for September and October that had my 1 years + mug on it.
There was me smiling and showing my 2 baby teeth off with the caption “Ha! Now I can really bite!” Yup, seems I was actually cute last time since I won that baby contest. Saw my baby pics and some of my childhood which was really nice. I was going “Aww, so sweet” in my mind. Those days…
Rawrr!
So we decided to watch Rogue Assassin at Century Square which was NC-16. It’s the first time I’m catching an NC-16 movie at the cinema. Though I’ve watched more heavily rated movies in the comfort of my home. And for all the neow-ness, the lady at the counter didn’t let me purchase the tickets until all four of us were present because she wanted to check all our ICs. I was like OKAYRRR, fine. She’s doing her job anyway.
Then Matthias came and we bought the tickets went in to watched the movie. Only like 3 rows were occupied in the entire cinema. Wasn’t really anticipating the movie since I’m not big on violence and gore. It’s NC-16 because there was blood, decapitations, guns, bullets and boobs (that I felt was totally unnecessary, which then lead to groans and squirms from the audience).
The enemy here being the Japanese Yakuza, lots of Japanese dialogue which was nice and I thought Devon Aoki, the boss’s daughter was cool when she had a gun to one guy’s head and a blade to other guy’s neck. After yakking that they had to obey her father’s orders and not do anything against him, she asked for…
A CHEF’S SALAD.
When the lackey was walking out to get the salad, she threw the blade at him which whizzed past his face and planted itself on the woodwork beside him. “Dressing on the side,” she deadpans. “Bitch,” he whispered in retaliation. That was arguably the only entertaining scene. =)
Jason Statham and Jet Li had a total of 2 facial expressions which was either of anger or smugness. Not to mention lots of “What the fuck?” (in Japanese too, by the way.) and other vulgarities. Got shocked and some parts such as one when one bodyguard had his brain blown out by Jason Statham and blood just spurted out. Matthias and I jumped in out seats. Haha.
Still can’t decide whether it was a good movie or not. But I guess it wasn’t worth my $9.50. I’m so gonna catch Hairspray another day.
Left the cinema and went CD-browsing. I was showing off Kuu’s FREAKY single to the others and asking them if she was hot, lol. I know, I’m just bored. Matthias got himself a CD and then we left.
Lots of other posters too, Sembawang should give them away since they're moving anwyays.
As I was heading towards the MRT, my dad called as earlier we had agreed that he would pick me up. He told me to go to the area where cash converter used to be. Couldn’t really find my way since the entire area was blocked out for constructions and he called again, but my stupid phone kept disconnecting or something, couldn’t hear him, called him again and he started yelling at me cos he got pissed.
Whatever. It’s so not my fault.
Went to Grandma’s house and we had Crystal Jade packed dinner. Not bad, though really oily after eating for a while.
Celebrated my Grandma’s birthday together some of cousins’ birthdays as well since they were born in September. My Gugu told me that the Chinese calendar and the normal calendar is the same every 19 years of your life. That meaning, your birthday falls on the same day every 19 years in both calendars. Cool huh. My Grandma’s 19 x 4 = 76 years old!
祝你生日快乐!
Enjoyed my Saturday overall despite all the screaming. Hope I’ll enjoy the rest of my week!
Pictures!
Haha. Still cute though! =P
Hail Mary.
