I've been so crazily addicted to DotA recently that I've not been doing much except for playing games! I'm not that great at the game but it's the thrill of winning that keeps me addicted i guess.
There are tons of characters but so far I'm stuck to playing Razor, the Lightning Reverent, basically because it's the easiest character to use. ; )
For awhile I was a tad bit worried that I would become like that Korean Guy who played games for over 50hrs and KO-ed, but I think I'm not that bad still.... I hope ; )
Anyways since I haven't blogged much recently, so this is gonna be a super long post.
I GOT FINED $100!!!
Can you believe it??! I GOT FINED!!! There I was innocently sitting at home playing games and this guy comes to check for mosquitos and he actually found some larvae. Since I was so "lucky" to be at home, he fined me $100. Was super sian, had I known, I would have hidden somewhere and pretended to not be at home!!
Anyway it was really funny because he kept on saying that he was so sure that it was aedes mosquito larvae. BUT, honestly he was just trying to scare me because I got bitten by mosquitos over the last few days but I certainly did not have the deague fever. Silly man!! I was so tempted to tell him but kept my mouth shut in case he decided to increase the fine!
Hiaz, there goes my perfect record and my chance at ever running for S'pore President ; )
Sewing A Button
There are 2 ways to sew a button, 1 takes less then 15 mins and the other takes 1.5hrs.
Way 1:
Use a needle and thread and sew the button back onto the T-shirt, and voila!
Way 2:
Decide to use you MUST use the sewing machine because it has button sewing capabilities
Lug the sewing machine downstairs
Realise that you can't find the power cable and the foot and have to look for it
Spend time finding out how to get thread onto the bobbin
Try sewing on the button and discover that the bobbin is loaded wrongly
Break the button by sewing onto it accidently
Consider removing the top button to replace the 2nd button
Remember that some clothes come with spare buttons in time (Thank God!!)
Then discover that the machine is threaded wrongly
Realise that you're using the wrong foot and change it
Realise that the cloth and button is too thick to fit under the new foot
Remove the bottom button sewing thingy for button and cloth to fit under the foot
AND finally complete the job.
The trouble I go through just to make my money's worth....

The Island
Went to watch The Island with CC in Bishan. Think CC want to watch becos got his favourite actor ; )
Was supposed to cook spaghetti after that but unfortunately I was feeling to woozy cos of my runny nose so I KO-ed and let Anna cook the spaghetti.
The movie was ok, simple and entertaining. Not much plot twists or cheem details, good for woozy pp with sniffy noses (like me!) to follow. One thing about this movie though, there was a really hugh amount of ad placement.
*Spoiler*
I thought the way that the bad guys "changed" into policemen was really funny. Also, it was really odd how people can shoot with those funny guns with strings and pull u with it, it's just one skinny string and hook, i'm surprised that it can't be ripped out of your body and it can even support the weight of your body!!

Charlie & The Chocolate Factory
Went out to catch a movie with Ash, Cat & Mic. Before that I had a quick bite at BK, to try their new cheese burger with jalapeno chillies. Never expect it to be green chilli!! Overall, it was ok nothing great, but it had an interesting taste, because burgers aren't something one normally eats with green chillies!
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
*Possible Spoiler*
I wished i had a chance to re-read the book before watching the movie, but sadly i didn't.
I felt the movie was OK, nothing really exciting happened because the plot mostly followed the book, although they added a part in about Willy Wonka's father. It was interesting to know "how" Willy Wonka came about, but it seems like every movie nowadays is explaining about the character's background (spiderman, batman). I liked the scenes as they were all very storytale like, colourful and creative.
3 things that got stuck in my brain
1. The Oompah Loompah were Copied and Pasted in every scene! Think the director was try to save money or something hehe.
2. I lurved the attention to detail, even Willy Wonka's shoe base had the Willy Wonka logo on it! I thought it was really cute that Willy Wonka and his Dad both wore squeeky rubber gloves.
3. The giant sugar/salt shakers that shook "snow" onto Charlie's house at the last scene.

National Library
I went to the new National Library at Bugis today (Or at least i think it's the new National Library, very confusing 'cos they also call it Lee Kong Chian Reference Library). The building is really nice and the design is quite stylo. Me, being super blur went up 2 stories on the escalator before realising that the Library is in the basement! The upper stories seem to be theatres. Do we really need that many floors of theatres?? Me, I'd vote for floors and floors of books!!!
Anyway no choice, had to go back down, but I decided to go to the loo before I went back down. I had this theory that the toilets upstairs should be used by less people and therefore be cleaner. I like clean toilets ; ) Anyway the toilets are quite clean, but somehow a tad bit shoddy looking for new toilets, and the artsy mosiac design didnt really seem to match the space-age design of the building. Further more, the cubicle wall had yellow tiles and there's this piece of marble where u can put your bag, and it was black with slight white swirls. It totally didn't match!!
And I was off to the library! Oddly enough the shelves seem really empty compared to that of the Community Libraries and the old National Library. But I was really happy because I managed to find 3 books by Diana Gabaldon.
Warning!!The new library is really very cold!! I spent 45 mins there and I had the blue veins in my hands popping out, and after I walked out, my feet began to de-frost and hurt! So anyone else who's planning to go to the library to visit, be prepared!!

Russell's Birthday 2005
I made a marble cake for Russell...
A few things went wrong... the box showed the cake with frosting so i assumed that it came with frosting but it didnt but anyway since it's marble cake the top is the chocolate part so it's still ok. Then the icing was super super hard to squeeze out... in case anyone is wondering, it say Happy B'day, stick figure drawing (inspired by KOL), Lvl 15.
Dad's still not back from Houston, so we had KFC for dinner. When he comes back we'll celebrate properly. Lucky Russell, 2 birthday celebrations ; )
