The Sphere Again.

They are showing "The Sphere" on Ch 5 now. I think it is either the 3rd or 4th time they are have it on Ch 5. And it will be 5th or 6th time if you count the times they showed it on the now dysfunctional Ch I as well. The Sphere is a gigantic spherical alien object found in a spacecraft at the bottom of the sea. What it can do is equally facinating and frightening (can't tell you more on what it does without giving away the plot). I have no intention of doing a review of the movie here, but I will recommend it to everyone who enjoys sci-fi movies. However, don't worry if you missed this movie again, they will probably show it again a few months later! That is how goooood this movie is! heh heh. Don't be deceived by the 2 outta 5 stars ratings it got from most movie critics!

Putting the jellyfish, giant squids, submarines and big golden sphere aside, let us come back the land, nice and dry. We were at Chinatown today for 十字路口 to celebrate Justus' birthday. I'll give a full account of the food journey in the next post once I get the photos. At the moment, let you tell you a few odd experiences I had today. We were at 马兰拉面 to kick off the first food item, 锅贴. The waiter stared at us rudely when we ordered two plates of it. It was the "Is that all you gonna order? " kinda look. Was he expecting us to order a few more bowls of noodles as well? Five people must order more than 10 dollars worth of food ar? After reiterating our order, he finally went off. Needless to say, that would be the last time I eat there. $6.50 for 6 pieces of not-so-delicious 锅贴, was not exactly cheap lorh. Next, at Chinatown hawker centre, I ordered a cup of chinese tea. The auntie gave me milk tea instead. I admit it was my fault for not stating my order correctly lah. Silly me, ordered "茶" and gestured the pulling of the tea bag, instead of asking for "中国茶" or "钓鱼". She told me off when I said that I did not order for milk tea. And she continued to grumble even as I went off with the chinese tea. I felt really dumb. ha ha. I don't blame her. Old folks can be grumpy and not so kind with their words. Finally, at the famous beancurd stall at Selegie Road, I ordered five bowls of beancurd with soya milk. The auntie asked me if I wanted hot or cold soya milk. So I turned around and asked my friends. Apparently that annoyed her. She said that I don't even know what I want when I order. I wonder why she was unhappy. There was nobody behind me waiting to order leh. But I will still go back for their beancurd again since it is so nice. I thanked the auntie for her "wonderful" service. Hopefully she would realise the irony go easy on the next customer.

Sigh, I suspect the orange-striped tee I wore today was too much for them to handle. Perhaps it agitated them abit lah. =P But also must really thank them, otherwise no story to tell you leh! hehehe.

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too

Dreaming About You.

I usually leave my handphone on during the night (just in case if anyone want to contact me urgently, eg. a friend in need of help etc). But I think I will be leaving my phone off from now on. Why? In the wee hours this morning, I received three continuous sms . I forced myself outta bed to read the message, thinking it must be something very important. I surprised to read that they were messages from " Dreamchat ", telling me that " someone is dreaming of me ". Oh great! What a good reason to wake me up! It also asked me to call this 1900 number to listen to the message. There was even a member id at the end... So someone still wide awake in the middle of the night decided to use this wonderful service to let me know he/she is dreaming of me leh. wah seh. I immediately deleted the messages and went back to sleep. Knowing I will just have a few more hours of my six hours daily sleep time left. How did this " Dreamchat " thingy got my handphone number? Is
