Update time!

So it's my Mum's 53rd birthday yesterday, we went to have a buffet-steamboat dinner yesterday. Supposedly, we were having dinner in some hawker centre. I mean wtf? My father brings everyone there, when it's someone's birthday. Luckily, it was closed down for 2 days for cleaning, which happens to be this day.

Earlier this week, on Sunday, Me and my brother went to hunt presents at Orchard. It's only the two of us, because my mum's went for Small Group, and the cousins were all busy with their own stuff. So we took a bus down, and we brought the first pretty quickly. We actually had in mind what to buy. The first was a Japanese vinegar, I thought my mum liked it, she did in the past, but she had aches, for some reasons.

Then we went down to Tangs Orchard, looked at a few kitchen utensils. Those Germany imported knives were darn expensive, like $200+ for a small one, so we chose a Japanese knife, about 30cm, for $50+. It's like seriously weight-less.

So we walked around abit more, we had lunch at some Taiwanese restaurant at Ion Orchard, not bad, but the portion is not enough. The Pearl Milk Tea there is nice too. Walked abit some more, walked a few rounds, and we ended up buying a Photoframe. We put our family's photo in it, so it's good to go.

Just a brief update on the previously week: I finally finished the school assignments. Yeah. I finished the 3D Animation homework pretty quickly, and the 2D Animation is like ugh. It's a groupwork, so the usual 3 of us - Myself, Zhenli and JianXiang with Anson. Letting him join is a big mistake. He promised to color the parts he was supposed to, but he didnt in the end. I was like fuming mad. I mean wtf, he's not at least efficient at all. He's damn slow. seriously. damn. But it's good, we finished. Phew. Now there's 3D Rigging and texturing homework over the holidays. It just keep coming.

It's 9th August and it's Singapore's 44th National Day! Happy Birthday, Singapore!


So I guess I'm gonna blog about today first, then followed by yesterday.



Woke up late because I got home at 12am+ yesterday. I did the usual, catch Japan Hour, breakfast and went for church. It's the month of August, so I got 2 duties - Multimedia and Food&Beverage. For some reasons, it's so busy today, but things got under controlled, of course. Then we had lunch and went to Ion Orchard. It's my first time entering, and it's cool. The design is kind of complex, but as a whole, it's nice. B1-B4 is for the norm to shop, Lvl 1 and above is all luxury. LV, Burberry, Rolex, you name it. They pretty have everything up there. I brought a pair of black Converse sneakers, as my old one is tearing apart.



So that's pretty much about today, up until the time I typed this sentence. Blogging while watching the NDP online. Heh. So yesterday..



ZhenLi and JianXiang came over to my house to continue the project from 10am to 4pm. We had lunch in-between but got back really quick to continue. And I hope we have sufficient stuff to show the teacher. Met up at my house with ZhiRong and WaiYuen for movie and with my brother.



Luckily we've booked early, the cinema was packed up. We took a bus there and we reached there at about 5.40pm or so. We collected the tickets, luckily I used one of the privilege card, if not we had to queue up a long way. Popcorns and drinks are a must, so we got them. ZR had kindly treated us to that. Thanks a lot.




The movie we watched is UP! None 3D though. As in the pop-out-of-screen type. Because there's no subtitles. :(



This is seriously a masterpiece by PIXAR and it's their 10th animation movie up to date.



Storyline: 9/10



Visual Efx: 8/10



Sound Efx: 7.5/10



Animation Qty: 10/10



9/10! Expected no lesser from PIXAR. The storyplot is original, with the flying house, with over 20,000 balloons, exploring the lands of South America. This movie was kind of heart-warming and sad, because...because.....SPOILER ALERT *BEEP* BEEP*



Just Kidding. Want to know? Watch yourself. Don't download, you noobs. Get a ticket or buy the DVD when it's out.





So after the movie, we had dinner at ShinKushiya. Ah, my favourite Japanese restaurant. You must try it seriously. The grilled food there is brilliant and the *ahem* scenery is nice, very nice. Especially *cough*Nicole*cough*. I think I mentioned this before on the post of 6th June this year, when we watched Night at the Museum 2. I told you I will be going again! WaiYuen said there's this Jessica Liu and LiJingMei and all those actresses, but I think Nicole still look the sweetest. I delibrately *cough* called her *cough* everytime I want to order something. Just can't get enough, just can't get enough. I think I will stop this for now. For now only. Only.



After the dinner, we had Starbucks and we went up to the SkyGarden to chill out, sing songs, talk nonsense, rupture and stuff. lol. Then we had supper, I think it's around 11pm+ then. We went to the Cheese Prata Shop at Pasir Panjang. WaiYuen treated for this. I gave him 2 dollars anyway. lol. Supposedly we thought of walking home, buy my mum called and she's really angry, because it's past 12am. lol.



We had fun, seriously, lots. Didn't felt so happy for a bit. I'm always happy anyway, but not when my mum nags and stuff. We will definitely go out again for..



Movie! Starbucks! Dinner! and ... Nicole!

National Day is just another 5 days away from today. Another year just flew passed. That's fast, I thought.

Continuing from last update, which is on the Wednesday, which I had the GEMS presentation on Philippines. It went quite smoothly, and it's easier than I actually thought. I didn't stutter at all, phew. Though I bet at least half the class didn't even knew what we are presenting, I didn't bother. But seriously, through this, I learnt quite some things about Philippines.

On Friday, ZhenLi, Jian Xiang and me went over to school to collect the camera for filming. While waiting, we did some 2D stuff with Anson. great. We brought some stuff for filming, like the fish and table cloth. It ended quite late, around 9pm. But it was fun neverthelessly.

Saturday, we went filming with Yeun Yian's group, as they had to re-shoot some of the parts. We were supposedly to meet at 10am, but ZhenLi was still asleep. Oh gosh, so we went to film those parts without him first, then we met up and the rest of the filming goes on. The most hilarious part was the lift part. There were so many people taking the lift at that time, for some reasons, and we can't let the lift goes, like we wanted. lol. So we waited. The others were hooked up on Monopoly, while Melissa and me were on PS3.

Fun, yet tiring day. But all's gone, when family went to Jack's Place to have dinner. Sweet.

Sunday...can't attend chuch service, because I've got filming again. This time at Little Guilin at Gombak. So there's no reason for ZL to be late, as he stays near the MRT. Thank God he wasn't and I arrive just a tiny bit of late. We went scouting for locations and found the perfect spot. There was quite alot of people there fishing, expected on a Sunday morning, everything went smoothly, except for my runny nose. It's making me crazy the whole morning and it made me no-in-the-best-state to film. Fortunately we did everything fast, and we went home at around 1pm.

I didn't went to school on Monday, because of the stubborn sickness. Such a pity I missed drawing lessons. Anyway, that's about it.
