up up & away~

cathay ups ticket prices. how nice. not that i watch movies often, but i don't exactly fancy wasting 10+ bucks for a movie when i can watch it for free online, in the comfort of my own home. more free online movies = less people going to the cinemas, and they still want to raise their already-high prices. nice move! boycott cinemas!! xD

and considering i'm taking cabs more frequently now, it's pissing me off that when oil prices go up by a little bit, the garment is so eager to double cab fares. yet when oil prices drop a fair bit, garment DOES NOT DO ANYTHING!

oh wait. they DID do something. they increased gas and electricity prices too! hawker centres and restaurants will probably up their prices soon, and if you're planning to cook at home, well, the same applies. =] when living expenses go up and salary goes down, let's all just move to india then.

okay i'm kidding. but seriously, having no income currently makes me super touchy on sensitive money issues. o heavens, let it rain moneh please!!

off-topic : why is the puppet called a puppet when it looks more like a scarecrow?

p/s. i just realized my blog looks horribly off in internet explorer. so please please please use firefox to view it. firefox ftw!

triumph in the skies

nothing to do these few days, so i started watching triumph in the skies again. besides reminding me about SIA, it also brought up memories of the triangel. from the stories behind the triangel, to wanting one of my own, to how yean helped me find it. as much as i want to believe in it, reality proves otherwise. or perhaps what i thought happened didn't happen at all. maybe what they said was true, that it will bring you and your true love happily together. i don't know. i hope mine works this way. lol. xD

king of wands indicates i should take charge to overthrow old ideas with my own new, bold ones. what does it mean? should i take up the english/psychology degree? it is in fact a far cry from the tourism route i'm 'supposed' to take. or maybe i should take up zoology instead. is this idea new and bold enough? *sighx*

movie + shopping = happy mee

LE GRAND CHEF. nice! watched it last night. at first i thought it was just one of those boring korean flicks, but it was pretty interesting and very touching. the movie is about 2 chefs competing for an old mouldy knife used by the royal chef dunno how many donkey years ago. it would represent that he is the true descendant of the royal chef. one uses unscrupulous methods to win; the other uses his heart. needless to say, the humane one wins.

it's touching because in the end, sung-chan (the good one), sacrifices his cow, which he kept since young, for the competition. his winning dish in the finals was also the last thing his grandfather taught him before he passed away. it makes you feel like tearing when you see sung-chan cry, cos he's able to do it so...nicely. lols. not to mention he's pretty good-looking as well. XD go watch it! hahas.

went shopping yesterday too. bought a pair of boots! yippee! i've waited for sooo long and now they finally come in my size! -_-''' they're on sale too. only 70 bucks for knee-high boots! worth it bo? although i know i won't be wearing it so often, but i really like boots. so, oh wells. hehe. went chinatown also. lucky i had the big boots box to 'open a path' for me, otherwise i'd prolly be squished. zzZz. got another top, on sale too! niceee.

another day of shrimp-shopping and clothes-hunting tml. =]
