One-Third outing!

After Cross Country run today, we went to town and had lunch at Billy Bomber's. Oh gosh, we shouldn't have ordered one plate each because the servings are GIGANTIC. The mocha milkshake and cheese fries were delicious though. There, we also made a fool of ourselves singing and "grooving" to the songs playing in the restaurant (All these songs were Oldies). Bella recorded some hilarious moments during lunch using her handphone so I'm now just waiting for Sheryl to load it on her blog so I can "steal" it from her to put it here... ;)

After Billy Bomber's, we watched "Memoirs of a Geisha" at Cineleisure. The show was rather slow moving but still engaging. Michelle Yeoh was really cool as Zhang Ziyi's mentor in the movie. She was so elegant and smart, she looked so pretty in the kimonos as well. The other character I really fell for was "The Chairman" acted by Ken Watanabe. Yes, he can definitely be counted as an Old Man, but he was a complete charmer in the show! His relationship with Zhang Ziyi was rather scandalous because she fell in love with him when she was only 9 (I think), while he was probably in his.. 30s? They actually got together and "professed their love" for each other when she was in her early 20s, so that would make him... too old for her? Yes, so I only like the movie for Michelle Yeoh and charming Ken Watanabe (Although I think he looks like he's old enough to be my father?).

"Memoirs of a Geisha" was followed by shopping and tea at the Scotts food court, then home. You should have seen the whole group of us walking around. We were completely sian.

In general, I think the highlight of today's One-Third outing was our lunch at Billy Bomber's.

Random #1: SUMMER HAS COME EARLY! The weather these few days have been AWESOME. After Monday lectures, Po Yew, Janice and I made a quick trip to the Millenium Gardens just next to Law School to take photos. The sky is so blue, the sun is so bright, the grass is so green, the flowers are in full bloom... Forget about jackets. In Po Yew's words, which he said very happily, "The girls are wearing nothing!" Girls are walking around in mini skirts sans stockings and in spaghetti tops. Many people are now lounging around on grass patches too. I look out of my room window to see a group of people on the grass. And they actually brought out their computer screen from their room! Random #2: DINNER TIME FEELS LIKE LUNCH TIME Days are getting longer now. At 7pm, it feels like it's still 4pm. Get this, I took this photo at 7pm. Random #3: SMALL GROUP OUTING I actually just got back from a small group outing to the bowling alley, which also had a bar and a game arcade. A lot of pe...

Magical Christmas 2009 has come 11 months early

It has been snowing most of today, and everything is covered in snow - a beautiful, magical, pretty sight! It really is unbelievable how much snow there now is in Nottingham. Because it's Nottingham! It never snows in Nottingham, at least not for many many years past! Even in London, I heard that it's snowing so much that Heathrow airport was closed, train and tube services were stopped, SCHOOL LESSONS WERE CANCELLED! Why can't we have classes cancelled over here?! When I first woke up, I knew it would snow at certain points of today (but I didn't expect THIS much snow!). First shot of the day: Then the first of today's many snowfalls began at about 9plus in the morning. Here are 2 photos of the snow that collected on my windowsill: Another 'boliao' video of the snow falling: Before I knew it, it was time to go to school for lectures. After my 2 back-to-back lectures, I walked back with John and Po Yew. But, before we headed out of school, we went to the Dow...

Like some Airline video

I just watched the 3+ minutes of the "final chapter" of Little Nyonya, the Channel 8 drama serial that ended last week. [Spoiler alert] I think it is so unnecessary? Anyhow, from the time of 2:59 onwards, I felt like I was watching some kind of Airline video, the one where they would show before the airplane takes off, briefing all passengers on what to do in cases of emergencies and stuff like that? Seeing Chen Xi stand behind Yueniang like that reminds me of when the air stewards and stewardesses on the video would end the video saying, "Thank you for your attention. Have a pleasant flight." Don't you think so? On the topic of Little Nyonya, I read an article from Mediacorp TV about this "Final Chapter" and I really wonder why people are making so much noise over a drama serial such that Mediacorp people have to step out to make further explanation! It's quite ridiculous, frankly. Just read it here . After reading it, I laughed. AND the DVD is co...
