Had a great time chilling at Molly Malone last night with the gang thou I was a bit stone..haha..I am looking forward to our next drinking session.
Went to town today to catch the movie Haeundae (Hai Yun Tai), what can I say it's a good movie, it made me cry. There were many touching scenes in the movie which stirred up my emotions, I tried to hold back but my tears just kept flowing. Let me briefly describe one of the scenes which made me cried.
The scene where the mother was grasping for air when she is trapped in the lift filled with water, at that moment she called her daughter(whom was with her father) and told her that she missed her daughter and than water filled up the whole lift. Just as we thought that the water would drown to death, the plumber heard noise coming out from the lift and managed to pry open the lift door, the mother escaped and reunited with her daughter and ex husband at the top level of the hotel. Soon the helicopter can to rescue the survivors but everyone was rushing to get into the helicopter, the girl's father handed her daughter to one the survivors and told her to take good care of her, it was a heartbreaking scene..sob sob..and than just as we thought the worst is over the 2nd wave of tsunami came, both the girl's parents embraced each other and apologised to each other, the daughter can only helplessly see her parents been swept by the tsunami.
After watching this movie it made me realise that we are indeed very fortunate to live in Singapore where we do not encounter natural disasters such as earthquakes or typhoons.No matter how smart we are we can never ever outlast the forces of mother nature. I also learnt that I should be thankful for the people and things I have with me now. Appreciate and and be grateful of every moment with your friends and family cause you never know what will happen.
I just want to say...Daddy and Mummy I love you. :)
Have a great week ahead. Cheers !

Report is out and KL Trip
After a month of waiting, the report on the water which I drank during my holiday trip was finally out. And guess what. The results were shocking, I actually drank water which contained small amounts of detergent( yes, its detergent) and bacteria. Thankfully, I was all right the night after I drank that glass of water, according to the chemist if after I drank the water, the side effect would have surface the following day. I am glad that nothing happen to me, to tell the truth I was very worried the night when I drank down the water, did not sleep well too, partly the water and also the room was very very cold, imagine I had to wear my jeans to bed and 3 layers of clothing. Well lesson learnt, now when I drink water I would first look at the water than smell if there is any funny odour from the water. Better be safe than sorry. All right so much of my water experience.
Was at KL over the weekend, my first time taking the budget air to KL. It's ok not too bad, after all you pay for what you get. But the flight to KL while descending was a bit shaky, somewhat the same experience I had taking a domestic flight during my recent holiday trip. Upon reaching the terminal, we boarded the bus to KL Central, our hostel YMCA was located near KL Central, the distance from LCCT to KL Central was quite far, it took almost an hour to reach KL central. After reaching KL Central, we placed our bags in our room and went to Mines valley. Took a train from KL central to Mines valley, after taking the train at KL, it makes one appreciate our MRT system here, thou at times we complain that how come the train so pack, why so long and why these people pushing me, ha ! wait till you experience train rides in KL than you know..:D Did not have much time to shop, so headed to the food court for a quick dinner and than made our way to the indoor stadium at Jalan Bukit for Fish Leong's Today Valentine's Day concert. Ok here comes the story of the KL transport again, we had to change train to go to the stadium, and the train timings were far from been accurate, the arrival time of the train would be displayed on the screen, but the train would not arrive at that time and the timing would change. All in all it took us almost 30- 45 mins from Mines Valley to get to Jalan Bukit.
Had a great time during the concert. We were all in a jubilant mood. We sang along to familiar tunes sung by Fish Leong. The feeling was great and I always enjoyed her concert.
After the concert, we headed back to YMCA. Ok here comes the KL transport story part 3, did you know that the cabs there can choose not to run on meters and its all based on negotiation. Something like game theory and bargaining, we have to reach a win-win compromise to agree on the price. Thankfully we have Huimin with us to bridge the language barrier and helped us negotiate with the taxi uncle. After a couple of cabs, we chance on this taxi uncle who decided to charge us $30 to YMCA.
Reached YMCA about 1am and went over to 7-11 to get some water and food. Than after proceeded back to YMCA, took a shower, had a light snack and went to bed. Was really really tired, cause I had a long week. Thou tired the trip was worth it, I feel recharged and ready to face the week fresh and happy.
It was a memorable trip and I enjoyed every part of it.
Have a great week ahead ! Cheers !
