It's been a while since I went to Zouk for
Mambo. So long that I don't even remember
when was the last time I did. But today is a
good day to go because tomorrow is a
holiday! Hooray!
Now I know almost
every club is going to be packed since it's
the holidays tomorrow but that definitely
won't stop me from going. I need to party
after all! And relive the nostalgic moments,
as Yvonne puts it.
To try and beat the
crowd, Yvonne, Eliz and I got the idea to go
there as early as 7.30pm to buy the tickets.
But today I had lots of work and so wasn't
able to go down that early. I opted to go
back and change before heading down as fast
as my feet (and the public transport) could
carry. Yvonne and Ben went down around that
time and told me the bad news: the club
doesn't open it's doors till 9pm!
WTF!!! So much for
going in early and try to beat the crowd.
Besides Eliz and
Yvonne, the SIM ODAC folks headed down to
tonight's party at Zouk as well. After all,
it's been a while since all of us had some
Mambo Jambo!
When I got there
(around 9.30pm), the crowd was HUGE! Seems
like a lot of people had the same idea of
partying the night away since tomorrow is a
holiday. Damn! But, lucky for me, after
queueing for about 30mins, I was in! Hooray~
Since I had two
groups of friends around, I found myself
shuttling to and fro between tables and
dance floor. In addition, I bumped into more
familiar faces while moving around Zouk.
Awesome!
All in all, it was a
fun night and one to remember this year. =)

Caught a movie with
Ronghui at GV Vivo City today.
Was expecting a great
comedy but it turned out to be something
else.
Something better...
'Lars & The Real
Girl' Synopsis

in love with her, telling people it's his
girlfriend. His brother and sister-in-law
step in to help him with his delusion.
'Lars & The Real Girl'
Review
As mentioned above, I was
expecting a great comedy. And part of this
show was funny. But the message behind it
was something surprisingly more deep and
touching.
The show starts of
with the introduction of Lars, a guy who has
trouble interacting with people and
expressing himself. While his lacked ways to
express himself, people around him care for
him more than he understands. And despite
his clumsiness at interacting with people,
he still wants to reach out to others. He
just doesn't quite know how.
That is until he came
across a website selling life-size sex
dolls. And bought one for himself. And went
around telling people that the life-size
doll is a real girl and his girlfriend.
From then on you will
see how a town work together to help Lars
handle this rather crazy situation. And
you'll see how Lars changed for the better.
And that is what I like about the show. The
actions and interactions that was going on
in the big screen, of how people try to cope
with an unexpected and crazy situation and
how people can learn from it without
realizing it themselves.
At the end of it, the
point is that some times you need a little
craziness in your life to make it better.
And that you have to look beyond what you
see to learn some of life's lessons.
One thing for sure,
you have to think quite a bit while watching
this show. And laugh out loud when the
comedy part kicks in. ;)
Well, since the Internet became accessible
to many, the paths to good stuffs became
more and more available.
Same goes to the bad
stuffs.
If there was any
video clip that is very disgusting,
this
clip would be it.

Climbing Gang
Visits The Fortress
The climbing
gang came to the Fortress today. It's been a
while since they dropped by. And to
celebrate this joyous occasion, they were
treated to a rare visit into the Throne
Room.
I hope they enjoyed
themselves. For those who couldn't make it,
there's always next time~
According to local
papers, this story was
picked up by the
media in UK and created a similar uproar
amongst the locals there. Many global
netizens have even wrote in to The New Paper
to express their outrage over the three
bullies and sympathy for the old man.
Meanwhile back home,
TNP reported that the son found out about
the news through his cousin and was
obviously furious about it. He said his
father was treated like a beggar. In
addition, he wanted three forms of
compensations from the bullies. The first
was a written and unreserved apology. The
second was payment that was due to his
father. The last was to carry three old men.
Now I can understand
about the first and second compensations.
Both are reasonable and rational. I'm a bit
puzzled by the third one. Ask them to carry
three old person? What would that do to the
bullies? Make them repentant? Or regret? Or
both? I supposed it's following the phrase
'An eye for an eye'.
But that's not what
the father wanted. In fact, the father was
more following the phrase of 'let bygones be
bygones'. Simply because he had forgotten
about the whole episode until netizens and
the media picked it up. The father admitted
he was angry when the tourists ran off
without paying, but took it as his bad luck
and simply let it go. Well, you've got to
respect that. Bad things happen to people
all the time. Just don't dwell on it for too
long. After all, 'what goes around, comes
around'.
What was more
interesting to me was the fact that the son
claimed to meet the parents at least once a
month, yet he never seemed to be aware of
the troubles and tribulations that the
father went thru. If he had a better
relationship with his father, I'm sure an
event like this won't be something that he
was unaware of until someone told him about
it. It's even more interesting that the
father still has to work even when his
children are already all grown up and
working. Weren't we ever taught to take care
of our parents when they were older?
So the British are
ashamed that they have badly behaving
tourists amongst them. Perhaps Singaporeans
should be ashamed that they have people who are
not so filial amongst them?
I try to live life to the
fullest while enjoying the beauty that life has to offer.
It's all about the brighter and
funnier side of life.
For everything else, you would
have to discover for yourself.
