Wednesday was a good day. This "good day" comprised of a superb morning-afternoon, a good evening and a not-so-good late evening. Being the sole occupant of my house now, I have many household and non-household tasks lined up ahead of me for today so I shan't dawdle too much on the itsy-bitsy details.
I met up with JJ in the morning to catch the newly released Transformers Movie. JJ and I met up for a quick lunch and poured over the details of the trip before heading up to the cineplex. The movie was really action-packed and was pretty good in a "adapted-to-blockblaster-movieish". I was never a big fan of movies (or their sequels) with too much resurrections, so my only beef was with the fact that a number of the robots were supposed to be dead and destroyed already and with only a single piece of the all-spark remaining... how could they keep on bringing back to life (OR reusing the darn robots...) robots such as Grindor/Blackout, Scavenger/Demolisher, Bonecrusher/Anonymous Buffalo H Mine-Protected Vehicle etc... These are the little things that I guess I notice in the movie which no one else does. Michael Bay did mention that there would be no mass-shifting in his movie... so... why the the all-spark cube in the first movie shrink to such a small size... ANYWAY... the movie wasn't too bad and I must admit that despite the minor discrepancies it was a good watch. (Doesn't mean I'll pay to watch it again though..)
The afternoon was spent running random errands which included meeting the tour agent to discuss the details for my upcoming trip. The meeting was rather fruitful... and I now have 2-3 more countries on the to-go list. :) As I have adopted this "Thou shalt not drive to town" mantra, I had to rush home to pick up the car before heading to school for my DSO briefing.
The briefing went pretty well and I am really looking forward to cycling to exhaustion on a exercise bike with a needle in my arm. Don't think I'll give it up for anything in the world, well maybe perhaps running a marathon with a catheter up you-know-where... HAHAHA... I seriously doubt the local scientific will be thinking of that anytime soon.
After the briefing and a great dinner with a couple of my team-mates (Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz *hint hint*) JJ and I headed to Zouk for our inaugural Mambo Jambo Anniversary Party. The crowd was good and the competition was fun to watch, despite the fact that I was tickled by some of the performances on stage. Hossan Leong was a great host and he did a wonderful job of getting everyone up and about and more importantly... into the mood for the long night to come. However... what was really disappointing for me was the quality of music during the night. Somehow... I did expect a bit more. The music was really abrupt and (just an opinion...) I kinda felt like I was in my living room listening to a compilation of mambo songs played out one after the other... :(
Anyway we left the club at about 5 and headed home soon after... I got up only at 3 p.m. today. So much for a great Thursday huh? Anyway... Just ONE more peeves that I need to get off my chest. Neutreogena Shaving Gel/Moose SUCKS! I should just have stuck to Gillette. I look like war scarred soldier equipped with only his bayonet and bar-soap for his shaving needs.
Till the next entry...
PS: I really need to remind myself that clubbing is a 2 day affair. Party = day 1, sleep in = day 2....
