Friday Noon Post

Its almost noon and I have yet to do anything constructive with my time yet. Yesterday however went pretty well. I managed to catch "Angels and Demons" with Mum and Sis, finished grocery shopping for the week and progressed on my much neglected Europe Tour Itinerary Plans (ETIF... just for fun...) 


We caught AnD (Acronyms... what will we do without them...) at E-hub, a somewhat recent addition to the already overcrowded population of shopping centres in Singapore. The mall, despite its small size, boost quite a respectable number of rather interesting stores and useless stuff. These include (interesting...) a Fondue shop, a bowling alley (interesting to ME....) and many of those tiny knick-knack stores selling cute and redundant stuff which only add on to the piles of unwanted stuff at home. However, I felt that (under useless stuff...) the Ferris wheel and the pseudo-play-area/open space sponsored by Maybank on the Third floor to be a waste of space and a rather awkward addition to an otherwise quiet and quaint mall. Alrighty... back to the Cinema. 

The Cinema at E-hub is managed/ owned by the Cathay Organization (The guys who brought you Orchard Cineleisure and the Cathay...). The legroom was good and the interior done up pretty well however... the sound... was terrible... at least for me as I watched AnD yesterday... Whenever the music or the sound got louder, as the movie builds up to a random exciting scene, the speakers just started to crackle and hiss. It happened a couple of times and in someways it did mar an otherwise great day out with the family. 

After the movies and Linner (Lunch/Dinner... similar to brunch if you get my drift...) @ New York, New York, we did a bit of grocery shopping at NTUC before heading home. Again, as mentioned previously... a simple, laid-back yet enjoyable day out.

On a more serious note, I need to start taking my training seriously... 9 more weeks really is not a long time more if you ask me :(
