|||...the island...|||



Lincoln Six-Echo (McGregor) is a resident of a seemingly utopian but contained facility in the mid-21st century. Like all of the inhabitants of this carefully controlled environment, Lincoln hopes to be chosen to go to the "The Island" - reportedly the last uncontaminated spot on the planet. But Lincoln soon discovers that everything about his existence is a lie. He and all of the other inhabitants of the facility are actually human clones whose only purpose is to provide "spare parts" for their original human counterparts. Realizing it is only a matter of time before he is "harvested", Lincoln makes a daring escape with a beautiful fellow resident named Jordan Two-Delta (Johansson). Relentlessly pursued by the forces of the sinister institute that once housed them, Lincoln and Jordan engage in a race for their lives to literally meet their makers.

perhaps its after watching a lousy movie (war of the worlds) that i think this movie is fantastic.

i didn't know what to expect at first as i didn't bother to read any of the reviews or articles on this movie. thought it would be like the tv series (island) about some people going on a boating (the tv series is a airplane wreck) expedition and getting trapped on an island with man-eating dinosaurs or what.

but its totally different from what i had expected.

it was exciting throughout the movie. thrilling and unexpected in many ways. the opening already gave me a shock (some sound effects). haa...

the movie is pretty futuristic. about human cloning and stuffs. i really love the plot due to the twists and turns. =)

very cool, a must watch!!!

|||...about the time we think we can make ends meet, somebody moves the ends...|||

hmmm, weird leh. if you noticed, i will manually number all my posts and this is number 217 supposedly. but blogger counted 220 posts already. dodo bird me must have repeated some numbers accidentally. *geez*

i shall coincide my 300th post with the date 2-9-2005 because its my blog's birthday!

therefore, using blogger's count, its another 79 posts and september is about 2 months away, which means i need approximately 1.3 posts a day. HUH? a bit a lot right! looking at the rate of my entries of about 1 post fortnightly. but i'm doing better already. my last post was 2 days ago. =>

*sighs* who ask me so lazy. so now must put in double the effort. hee... then on 3-9-2005, a new bloggie shall be born! idea right. =) i'm so clever. hur hur hur...

i went to chop chop near my office to try out their instant massages today. adel, my colleague and friend in office, was having bad backache and wanted to get some relieve.

it isn't too bad. S$14 for a 10 minutes pounding and kneading. the only grouse i've is that its a bit weird having an uncle doing it. kinda awkward. *bleahz* well, and its not helping that its my virgin massage session so i was a teeny weeny nervous.

was looking around for spa services for dar and me as part of my itinery plan to celebrate his birthday. i know he definitely wouldn't appreciate it. wanted to give him a surprise initially but knowing his 'pattern', i asked him first and prove myself right. that dumb dumb rather use the money, i quote him "to buy some car accessories".

you tell me how romantic a car accessory is? spa is a body and mind thing ok. makes you feel good what. hais... he will never understand. too practical a man.

anyways, i found this spa place that looks pretty cool from the brochure. its called balik kampong located at those private houses. they have 2 outlets - changi & hillview. will definitely go try it out with my next pay check!

this month's pay already dry up with 3 pairs of shoes, pedicure (yes, i did it yesterday! an express pedicure that only cost me S$12. so cheap right? and its quite good.), endless amount of food (i ate 4 meals today)... its only the 7th day since i drew my salary and its all gone. *wails*

taking half day afternoon to go shopping for dar's birthday present. he wants a wallet. thinking of getting some other brand than renoma as he has been a faithful fan of that brand since we first met and i got him the first wallet from there. so thinking of breaking the tradition for the 4th wallet. shall see what i can get tomorrow. hee...

then on leave on friday to accompany him. its our usual yearly routine to take leave to accompany each other on our birthdays.

but for myself, the most important reason i take leave is to avoid getting screwed up by nasty customers and feeling lousy for the whole day. birthday leh! already depressing enough you know. get scolding somemore become even worse right.

all right, 78 more entries to go. shall save some words for tomorrow (i hope)...

yays~

i hit my 10,000th visitor...finally. nothing to be proud about la. i wasn't even keeping track these days. but just so happen tinkering with my blogskin to change colour as blue doesn't seems to be very me and i thought i had accidentally deleted my invisible statistics tracker. thus, stumbled upon it when logged into my account to get the html codes again.

congratulations to the lucky 10,000th reader. you can get a free candlelight dinner with me if you are able to identify yourself. not bad leh. dinner with me ok. or if you prefer, i have a whole family for you to choose from to dine with. from the SYT (sweet young thing) to the ROM (rich old man) to the CMI (cannot make it).

when i was tinkering with my html codes once again, i've noticed the depressing number of entries i made this month. its an all time low at a grand total of TWO! *gasp* i'm really neglecting it. so sad because sometimes when i re-read some of my past entries, it brings back fresh memories. a good aid that now i'm getting older and brain memory space is lesser.

oh well. anyways, sometime back when my beloved brother was back from australia, he took the digital camera back too. i was so excited because i can go on a photo-blogging-spree. however, that asshat, took back the camera and not the usb cable. and i only discover the saddening news after i took a memory card full of pictures and was stuck with it. *bleahz*

now i've a 1.3 megapixel hp camera, i was all geared up to take some pictures as well. but then again don't have the usb data transfer cable. maybe tomorrow go m1 and check how much they selling. thats 2nd on my list.

number 1 is to do a pedicure. =)

but got dance class tomorrow and with some of the moves that requires swiveling on floor, it sure damages the nicely done toenails. comtemplating doing it on wednesday instead. but the current sight of it is quite an eyesore.

hais... i think my life is not too interesting lor. so much so that i can be debating my thoughts online on a personal pedicure. "to do or not to do" when there are so many other major things happening out there in the world.

like the poor chap that was suspected as one of the bomb-setting terrorist in uk and got shot. so sad for him. its a delimma as well. one part of me wish he is innocent as i wish there are no baddies in the world. another part of me wish he is not innocent so that at least he didn't die in vain.

*sighs* well, when i think about all this 'bigger' things, life seems so depressing. ok, i think i'm better off deciding if i need a pedi tomorrow anot. heh...

|||...i can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. i'm frightened of the old ones. ...|||

ok, a quick entry before i go read a few pages if my novel and then sleeping.

...

...

...

|||...personally I think birthdays and anniversaries are like menstrual cramps, a regular pain in the ass that's somehow connected to birth...|||

i wanted to post this on my birthday but had forgotten all over it. saved this quote for a long time. =P

had a great birthday. got many prezzies this year. mostly from my new colleagues. the closest ones all never give lor. some kind of family and close friends right! "right, cal?" hahaha...

anyways, i've got a new phone. yippee! and i dropped it the moment i opened my box. so smart right. wondering if i damaged anything inside now. the side seems to be jutting out a little. wonder if its normal. *bleahz* its a birthday gift from dar. before you go "awww, so sweet!" kindly note that we had an 'issue' over it and its a day late. *sighs* don't sound very romantic right? it isn't.

but i still got it in the end. so "thanks dear. *muakz*"

bro flying back to australia tomorrow. time flies. he has been back for 3 weeks already.

been working for coming to 3 months now. time really flies lor. goodness me.

so long no blog, now don't know what to blog. maybe should hire a professional full-time blogger to blog for me. i don't think there's such a profession yet. heh... maybe one day there will be. you never know.

feeling tired already. tomorrow got to wake up at like 6am. ok la, continue blogging soon. nites nites~
