Belated Birthday Celebration

A belated Birthday present for Juliane. Took her to watch a movie of her choice. I was surprised by it, not the theme but by the choice of language the movie was in! Guess what we watched! :D My mother who is a Taiwanese would be pleased to know there is hope. 

Took Juliane to lunch at Shashlik

Must think twice next time before watching a teenage romance comedy with your teenage. Between the two of us, we used up a pack of tissue during the sob sob scenes. "Fall in Love at First Kiss", a Taiwanese remake of the Japanese manga "Itazura na Kiss" is a refreshing departure from my usual genre of movies. :)

Crazy Christmas: Ting Tong Belles

It was a last minute decision and my colleagues and I were lucky to get tickets for tonight's Crazy Christmas: Ting Tong Belles, Esplanade Theatre at very short notice, such as this afternoon. :P We arrived at 7pm and we walked around Esplanade. It has been a long time since I was at the Esplanade. I think I last went there due to some field trip when I was teaching in SCGS.

When the doors opened at 7:30pm, we were seated. At 8pm, the show started. Time flies when you are enjoying yourself! There was so much laughing that my throat was really sore and wished that I had lozenges on hand. I particularly loved the XXX factor segment with Singapore's own Beyonce Hou Say, Se Ki Na and Lady MaMa, the Korean band Girls Re-Generation segment, The Three Wisemen segment, Dr Teo Chew Moi TCM moments, Cat Klaus segment and finally, Kumar's segment! I only wish the whole show was longer. One and a half hour seemed much, much too short! At the end of tonight's show, everyone involved in the production of the show were given thanks for their wonderful work. 
Crazy Christmas: Ting Tong Belles is one crazy show full of fun, singing and laughter! :D I haven't laughed that much in a long time.   

The Croods

My girls and I went to watch The Croods on Wednesday. It is a story about a prehistoric family whose only home they knew, "the cave" was destroyed and they had to embark on a journey to search for a new home across unfamiliar land, with an intelligent and innovative caveboy in tow. Besides lots of funny moments, there are educational moments as well as a sad moment or two. But don't worry, it is a cheerful movie. The Croods is a movie for everyone, regardless of age! :) It is entertaining, educational, funny, and ... Just Go and SEE IT! You won't regret it. :)

Forever Spoof

Here is a creepy but funny spoof of the song, Forever by Derrick Hoh. It is a really nice catchy song and the video is brilliant, if you can look past a few gross details. But if you have a sensitive nature, then just listen to the song and don't look at the video.

MIB3

Juliane and I went to watch Men In Black 3 yesterday morning. Marieann was supposed to come with us but she changed her mind and was too lazy to get out lol.

We got out of the apartment at 9.50am, managed to get the bus at 9.55am and arrived at Shaw Lido at 10.05am. We had 5 minutes to get the tickets for the 10.10am show! Thank goodness! Lol.

MIB3 has not lost its humour even after two episodes, especially with the pairing of Will Smith and Josh Brolin. Brolin's protray of a younger Agent K is absolutely brilliant and funny, and truly captures the essence of Jones' Agent K. Another character, Griffin (played by Michael Stuhlbarg), an alien psychic who gives a running commentary on the futures that he sees, is funny in his own endearing way.Although there are some loopholes, it is still a good movie to watch. It is funny, action-packed and emotional towards the end of the movie which was a surprise.

The Noose Christmas 2011

When I first saw this on tv, I was tickled pink by it lol. For those who are not Singaporean, The Noose is a Singaporean comedy series. It is a parody of local news programmes with fictional news reports and a presentation mimicking that of the real news.
