Today the few of us (it's the 5 of us again! same as badminton at Bedok CC), Uncle, Peiyi, Peyyong, Siying and me, went to Leisure Park Kallang to watch 10000BC. I suggested that place since it's newly renovated and therefore should be quite refreshing to go somewhere new.
I met Alan on bus 69 and we chatted all the way to Kallang MRT station where I got off. He's going to the IT show, with no particular item to shop for. Then I met up with the guys and we took bus 11 to LPK. The whole interior was totally different from the old Kallang Leisure Park, and pretty empty too. In fact most shops weren't open yet. We immediately went to grab our tickets for the 5:20pm show.
The show was quite alright. Plenty of CG, quite a bit of suspense, plenty of action, and lots of people wearing quite little. Too bad most were men. LOL Then the lead actress is very pretty in fact. Very sharp features. She's Camilla Belle. Haven't heard of her though. The movie is quite ok I guess. I would give it a 3.5/5. The scene of thousands of slaves and mammoths working around the whole empire was pretty awesome. Wonder how long it took to generate such massive display of CG.
We walked around LPK after the show. Then I went to Latendo, the shop selling figurines which moved from Sunshine Plaza quite recently. This shop was much bigger than the old one, with several large cabinets displaying probably thousands of figurines. How I wish I could own a few more sets, but too bad my room cabinet is already overcrowded with Naruto, Bleach and Dragonball figurines already. Can't expand anymore. We then took a shuttle bus back to Kallang MRT station and we walked to Geylang for dinner.
We had Oyster Omelette, Beef Kway Teow, Fried Kway Teow, and later on, Rochor Tau Huey. As we walked along Geylang, we saw many people roaming around the streets. It's a Sunday night man, don't these guys need to work tomorrow? The whole road was still pretty lively and full of activity. We walked all the way to a bun shop and almost wanted to eat. Still feeling a bit hungry, but the rest of them didn't wanna eat anymore, so we then walked to Paya Lebar MRT and went home. That's all for today.
7th March 2008, Friday
Wing Kin, Yew Kwee, Tat Yeong and I went to the IT Show at Suntec. It's only Friday night but it's already freaking crowded. I read on some websites that there were many pretty model babes in the show, however I couldn't really see any at all. Maybe all went for dinner already. ZZZzzz... I was looking for a new desktop, while the rest of them were getting laptops or RAMs. Somehow today was another run-into-friends day. I saw Kairen(AHS schoolmate/FDS campmate) selling his insurance products at one corner, saw Shuling (Hall 4 Blk 22 mate) giving out leaflets of her friends' new business outside the exhibition halls, saw Kah Keong (SCE junior), saw Philip (Hall 4 mate) at Marina Square, saw Faizal (TPJC classmate) at Marina Square, who actually was shopping with a Chinese girlfriend, saw Siying (MKG) at City Hall MRT. My DSO colleagues were stunned to see me meeting so many friends on that day LOL.
The IT show was, as expected, full of the latest gadgets that most Singaporeans are dying to acquire. We spent most of our time at the level 3 hall, looking for our items. That level was selling mostly laptops. I think by now everyone should be owning a laptop already, instead of the everyone owns a desktop era. Didn't find any really good deals for a desktop, from the fact that there weren't many desktops being sold at all. There were also many super large LCD screens and digicams for sale. After walking around a bit at the level 4 hall, we then went for dinner at Marina Square before we headed for home.
