Mission DaVinci Code

It's been a while since I have watched a movie, the last being "Eight Below" about a month ago, and with the recent release of a few "hot" movies, me and my guy decided to spend our weekends in a big, dark room munching on chips and popcorn.

Mission Impossible 3 was...well...I cannot compare it with part 1 and 2 as I have never watch them! Tom Cruise don't really appeal to me (too old lah!) and I never really like fighting "wham bam" kind of movie. Then again, the movie tickets were free so no complains on my part there! =p

I did enjoy the movie though there was no much story to it except for all the fighting (still feel that Cruise is old...do you know that my uncle calls him "Ai Dong Gua" which literally translates into "short melon"...Wahahahahhahaha!!!) And wat the hell...can someone tell me what is the rabbitfoot!!!

Anyway, don't think I will wanna catch MI 4 if there is one, unless I get free tickets again but I will give this movie a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

The other movie we caught was "The DaVinci Code", a screenplay adapted from the novel by Dan Brown.

Frankly, I felt that the book was better. The movie felt out way too much details and even the ending was changed! Then again, if the director was to include everything in the book, the movie will probably end up 4 hours long.

Heard that they will be also be filming "Angels and Demons" so hopefully that movie will be much better.

Overall rating...3.5 out of 5 stars.

Last Day

Tomorrow...or rather today, will be the last day of semester 1.

It will also most probably mean that it will be my last day with my babies of Pri 2D 2006 as their form teacher.

Though I will be back in Si Ling for another month when school reopens in late June, things are gonna be different (unless they are not able to get another teacher to take over my class, but chances are slim...)

Even though they had been very naughty, even though they made me so angry that I walked out of my classroom once, even though they did very badly in their SA 1 exams...they are still my darlings and I am so gonna miss them terribly.

See you all kiddos...I will try to come back to visit as often as I can.

One More Milestone, One Very Empty Pocket

On Sunday, I made one of the biggest and most expensive decision of my life!

Er...no I am not getting married...yet

But I bought a apartment!!! Together with my guy of cos! *grinz*

It is an executive condo located in Woodlands, La Casa. Take a look at the website here:

http://www.lacasa.com.sg/

Altogether, we are paying abt $515k for a 3 bedroom apartment. Not the cheapest deal in town but after being to so many showflats, I fell in love with the place almost immediately and made the decision to purchase almost the next day.

Wanted to get the 3 + 1 apartment initially (with a better view of the pool) but due to some fengshui thingy, in the end, we got the 3 instead and though the view of the pool wun be as great (corner view only) but it's about $60k cheaper and we will be higher up on the 11th floor instead of the initial 8th.

The only thing left to do now is to wait to get our keys in 2008 and in the meantime, see our bank account shrink!

But I am one HAPPY gal. =D

Hiyeeeeee...Ya!!!

This is a beri strong bug!!!

It's been almost a my week and I am still sick (runny nose, flamy cough...the works) though my voice is more or less back, though still very nasal. Well, at least I can scream at my kids now.

Mummy is also down with a bad throat and she sounds like Donald Duck on Helium. *har har har*

M.U.S.T. F.I.G.H.T. B.U.G...

On the other hand, Muay Thai on Sunday and last night was good. All the perspiration and guzzling down of water helped in clearing my nose heaps. Now, if only I have something to do on Thursday to burn off the excess energy between Tuesday and Sunday's Muay Thai. I wonder if they still have hip hop classes...hmmmm...

It's also been a while since I last wakeboarded, the last being the day I busted my knee on my new board while attempting a 2 wake jump. Got phobia leh...HOW???

Perhaps I shall try to attempt wakeboarding again during the school holidays. Must start again soon.

Oh yes, personal milestone to record down. I did 239 push-ups during Muay Thai last nite...in 2 minutes. 119 in the 1st minute before we started our training, and 120 after 1.5 hours of training. Me is so proud of myself, especially since I was doing only about 80 per set about 3 weeks ago. *muhahahahahahahaha*
