"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down."
- Sonja, Love and Death (1975)
To love or not to love? All will lead to suffering.
If so, I wld rather not to love, coz' I won't suffer from a heartbreak.
Humans are always living in contradiction.
So, after u decided on something, pls go ahead and give your best,
no matter what the outcome will turn out to be.
At least, you will live with no regrets.

CC Gang Gathering : GC's birthday celebration
--Kallang Leisure Park--
Well, the weather wasn't good today, but luckily there's only drizzle...hoho! Met up with 3 other gals at Kallang Mrt before meeting the rest. Long time didn't see all of them liao...really glad to meet up ya.
Well, I don't think I wld go to KLP again if not for bowling or ice-skating. It's really inconvenient sia...Shops quite little, and not much choices for restaurants. In the end, we ate at Nihon Mura la...Food was not bad, I thought it was better than their branch at "The Cathay". The scallops were too salty though...haiz.
Had a nice chat with the girls...all of them are working now, and I think i should be worrying about my future after exams next yr ah. Lolz! Money hard to earn sia~!
--Aftermath--
Went to Kallang bowl to check out the price...there's a Canon function there, but we still can play la. Well..I guessed the std rate for one game is 4.30 bucks and above now. Kinda ex...the gals decided to catch a movie instead. First time watching movie at Flimgarde, their cinemas were not bad, comfortable seats. Initially the gals wanna watch "High Sch Musical 3", though personally I don't wanna watch it. Check out HSM3, left 2 front row seats...so decided to go for "Connected", and the cinema hasn't got any takers..haha!
--Connected--
This movie is a remake of "Cellular", which I didnt watch. Just like what the movie critics said, this movie is really an above average HK action film. Not even a second did I felt boring. The movie is action-packed and I had a fun time watching Louis Koo driving dangerously on the streets, causing massive accidents. There's quite a few humourous moments...especially b/w Louis and Nick Cheung. I am glad that Nick was given a bigger support role, nice action from him too. Barbie Hsu's performance was not too bad....basically her character Grace was locked up in a room most of the time, but I think she handled her expressions and emotions well enough. Barbie hardly interacted with Louis face-to-face, until the last scene when they were saved. I like the twist towards the end of the movie...I bet nobody expected that twist sia. The movie ended nicely with a happy ending. One more thing, lots of familiar faces were in this movie, like Flora Chan, and a few from TVB. That guy selling the HP charger to Louis's character was super damn funny.....had a good laugh.
This movie really worthed my 9.50 bucks. Thumbs up!
--Aftermath--
PY was asking if anyone wanna longbang her car to Tamp, so I decided to go ahead with HM and SC. PY's driving skills quite gd ah....and we had a nice time la. HM! When will be your turn to drive us around? Hehe!

Yeah! Home-cooked food again!
--Dinner--
Yeah it's sotong and fish combo again! I think Mr Chean must have a sudden craving for home-cooked food...lolz! Anyway, he prepared the food while E.W baked the sotong and steamed the fish. Hehe! Ah Ching leh? My job is to eat la! Hahaha!
The baked sotong...chili reduced quite abit (becoz' I thought it's very spicy..) Anyway, it's super Q!
Long time didn't eat 金目鲈 liao. I don't know what's the english term for it..anyway...it's very delicious. Butta, dunno why Mr Chean cut the fish into half?? Alamak...
P.S: 2nd experiment coming soon!

TV Drama Review #157 - 33 pun Tantei 33分侦探
No.of Epis: 9Year/TV Station: 2008/FujiTV
Cast:
Domoto Tsuyoshi ~ Kurama Rokuro
Mizukawa Asami ~ Muto Rikako
Takahashi Katsumi ~ Police Inspector Otawara
Synopsis: (edited from Dramawiki)
The drama's title comes from its time slot (Saturday nights at 11:10pm), which runs a total of 33 minutes after commercial time is subtracted. This comedy features a slow-witted sleuth named Kurama Rokuro. While viewers will be able to identify the criminal right away, Kurama constantly comes up with incorrect theories, leading him to always accuse the wrong person, and he has to expand the story so that each episode's mystery is solved within the 33 minutes time span.
Slacker's review:
This is quite a silly detective-comedy drama. Actually I was expecting something like "Kindaichi", but the plot differed totally. So u can guess how disappointed I was. Haha! Actually I didn't really enjoy the show. First is the way Kurama solved the cases were rather similar. For e.g., he will go to find a guy and a gal in the lab to help him out, and go to find another guy who's always disguise in various job setting, and Kurama has to bribe him for more information. The second reason was, the mysteries were not interesting or exciting to me, maybe because we already know who the culprits were. The drama was rather comical...at the starting of every epi, there will be some weirdos trying to sell things to Muto, but in the end, Otawara wld just came in and slammed the door at the fella. The scenes when the 3 of them travelled in a car to the crime scene, they're obviously driving a fake car, and the background of the driving scenes were also fake..haha! Also, the way they pour coffee, I don't know why they have to drop a ball or what onto the self-made machine and wait till the ball landed, then they can pour coffee. I thought it shld auto pour coffee, but i'm wrong. Haha! Ending scenes were funny too, the 3 of them would stopped in their position and hang on for several mins before bursting into laughter.
I bet many of us are waiting for Domoto's comeback, but then, this drama definitely won't be a classic drama for Domoto...I still missed his performance in "Summer Snow", and I really hope to see him in a more standard drama in the future. Domoto has a very strong and unique style here...Kurama loves wearing the pants which only reach his ankles, and his clothes are mostly in suits, plus his specs. Domoto is really the ideal actor for Kurama...his performance was not bad, but there's not much character development for this character. Mizukawa and Takahashi are not bad too...Mizukawa is Kurama's funny assistant, and I am wondering if Mizukawa's Muto likes Kurama or nt.
Themesong is "Secret Code" by Kinki Kids...not very catchy to me though.
Personally I won't recommend this drama as it's really quite lame somehow. However, if you missed Domoto Tsuyoshi and u wanna have a good laugh, do give "33 pun tantei" a try. It's a short drama anyway...no harm trying. Hehe!
P.S: Surprise surprise! 33pun Tantei is coming back for a season 2 this coming Spring season in 2009. If you've watched season 1...maybe u can look out for season 2. But I don't think I wld watch it.

Da Slacker Talk #5
--A Good Person--
Was watching a small part of "Match maker's Lover" yday...and I found another interesting ideology from Kang Hyun.
Hyun-soo comments that Kang-hyun is good at her job, but she tells him she has a long way to go; “Before being a good couple manager, I’ve got to be a good person first. A good colleague, a good friend, a good girlfriend, a good woman.” Then she remembers “good daughter”.....(credits to dramabeans)
My definition of "a good person" is never about being a good colleague, friend, woman etc. I just thought being honest, trustworthy, do good deeds, don't steal or rob etc = a good person.
Well, Kang Hyun's way of thinking is really cool...I mean to be a good colleague, friend, girlfriend, woman and daughter.....u must be the BEST HUMAN on earth ba? That's really demanding...haha! But anyway, I think i have to agree with her...she's right.
Oh my! I seriously regret not watching this drama now...I have so much fun watching that short 10 mins...arrgghh!
It's on my waiting list....till i have the time.
