WARNING: Since this is my first post, there are a lot of experiences that i wish to share about recent events.
This year is still new to me, even though more than a month has passed since January 1st, 2008. During the night of New Year's Eve, I celebrated with some friends first at One-Stop's arcade on the 6th floor, counted down to New Year along Gurney Drive, and then visited my second home... Netcity. We played until around 3am before returning home and it was very exciting.
During the whole of January, my parents have been prompting me to find a job to not "waste" my time at home playing computer "the whole day", but I was unsuccessful in finding a job in Gurney Plaza, somewhere close to my home. But thats not ALL that happened in January. I went to many movies in the Golden Screen Cinemas(GSC) in Gurney Plaza, went out with friends a lot, and visited... yes, my second home, Netcity... ALOT!!
I usually go to Netcity with my friends Gavin and Harjit. Well, Harjit(mOnk) actually works there but he goes there to play sometimes when he's not working. Gavin(ReiX/Reddy/JamieX), the most feared DotA player in Netcity(maybe), goes there quite often. We are often joined by some others like Tannie(Chuck,Cock&Mary), Palipalam(PaliPalam), Kok Keong(Nick9), KX(gosu-Battledogz), and once in a while Woon Ho(N()()BM@ST3R), Sui Hoong(PrideZ), Lai Tat(TheCondemned), Yew Liang(xZlix), and some other friends who go seldomly, like just last night i saw Jin Hui(J I N) who said Jun Chang was there earlier before I arrived.
Recent movies that I have watched are Cloverfield, Gabriel, and Meet The Spartans(twice!).
In my opinion, Gabriel wasn't what I expected and felt like a waste of money and time. My friend conned me into watching it saying it was about angels and guns. I can't say he was wrong but they really didn't act like angels. I expected magic and miracles but the only thing i saw that looked supernatural was the super-speed, detection powers and healing. Some parts even looked quite gay and I must admit the producer had a sense of humor. The evil 'boss' had HILARIOUS-looking eyes. The movie did look worthy but only at a totally different perspective.
Cloverfield was plain dumb. The only reason I watched it was because my dad said I might feel sick after watching it and it has been a long time since I felt sick so I wanted to watch it. But I didn't feel sick at all after watching it(to my disappointment) and the main camera guy was rather annoying. One thing that made it very fake was that the huge monster was at two places at the same time. So... that was another waste of my time. Luckily I went to Netcity after that to prevent myself from dying of boredom!
As for Meet The Spartans, I'd say it was very worth it to watch compared to the other two movies even though it only lasted one hour and there were a lot of cut scenes. I even watched it twice! My favourite line in the show is "Your mother's so hairy, the only language she speaks is Wookie". LoL.
Best event so far was yesterday when my friends Gavin, Harjit, KX, Tannie, Palipalam and Kok Keong celebrated my birthday early at QueensBay with a surprise birthday cake and a night(and part of morning) of DotA at Infinity and Netcity. At QueensBay, Harjit, Tannie and I walked around, got some food from different places and then settled down at McDonalds for a chocolate milkshake each while waiting for Gavin and KX to do their shopping for Chinese New Year clothes. We were joined by Palipalam and Kok Keong shortly after we sat down at McDonalds and just talked for a while, waiting for Gavin or KX to call for us. We then chose to eat at the Manhattan Fish Market where we all had Fish 'n' Chips. After eating, KX went to the "toilet"(he said) and came back with my surprise birthday cake. I felt very happy as I wasn't expecting a cake and the cake was very nice as well. It was Walnut Brownie and it tasted fantastic. There was still half the cake left so we gave one-third of the leftovers to the Manhattan Fish Market staff because one of them was some of my friends' friend, and I took the rest home. After QueensBay we went to Infinity to play a Draft DotA match with KX's friends. I wasn't included but it was fun to watch. Then, we went to Netcity for more DotA and managed to play a challenging Allrandom game that we thought were going to lose but in the end we won(thanks to Gavin's guidance to the team). We had supper at Jamal after the game and then went home. Great day, great game, and best of all, great friends!
As for today, I started this blog and had a reunion dinner at my relatives' house.
