Deja Vu

31 05 2006

Have not had this fatigue feeling for quite some time. Today it came back to me again.

The familiarity of it all: having to take deep breaths, pinching the area between the eyes, trying to catch a few winks even while riding up the escalators, etc.

Praying that the next few days will not be as draining.

Mini movie marathon

21 05 2006

Yesterday, on a hot Saturday afternoon, SY and I headed to Balestier Cineplex to catch Poseidon movie. After 90 mins of breath-taking action, we proceeded to catch another movie at the same cineplex – Over the Hedge.

Our first mini movie marathon. :-)





Error at GV website

20 05 2006

After hearing countless positive reviews about the MI3 movie, SY and I finally decide to catch it today. But oops, we had a hard time trying to book the tickets from GV website. Keep on getting this error:

Must be one of the signs of an improving economy. ;-)





Diesel car?

18 05 2006

Was toying with the idea of getting a diesel car. In fact, I spotted a Renault Kangoo on sgCarMart that is quite cool:

However, the high price of the diesel road tax is too much of a put-off.

After doing some calculations, I realise the savings on buying diesel fuel is not sufficient to offset the much higher road tax.

So, my car-owning dream gets shelved once again. :-)





Preparing for World Cup

18 05 2006

Wow, a health advice by CNA: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/health/view/208783/1/.html , warning of increased cardiac arrests during the previous World Cups.

“In the 1998 World Cup, the number of heart attacks in Britain rose by 25 percent when England lost to Argentina in a penalty shootout, according to a study in the British Medical Journal (BMJ).

Compared with admissions for the same day in previous years, 55 more people were treated for a heart stoppage as a result of the match, say the University of Birmingham researchers”

Better start preparing my heart now by watching more late-night soccer. Haha. :D
