I have 3 words to say about this movie, GO WATCH IT! I went to watch the movie thinking that it would not be that good because it was a sequel, but i was wrong.
One thing about this movie is that there's really loads of crude jokes (only adults can go watch). I was thinking of listing out all the hilarious parts that i liked, but the list would be sooooo long, and i'm sooo lazy, so just GO WATCH IT!

Weekend Makan
This weekend I went out for lunch on both Saturday and Sunday.
KFC
On Saturday, i had good old KFC for lunch at the AMK branch. It was the first time that i've been to that branch since it was renovated. I love the fact the the ventilation was so much better than before, when there was always this stale smell of oil.
However, they've partition the whole area such that half is pizza hut and half is KFC, and that sucks! Their sitting arrangement is to make use of all the space available and squeeze in as many seats as possible. I know that's sound business logic, but it makes the whole place feel so crammed up.
Feel that there are other things they could have done to use the space more wisely, like shared kitchen space and shared bathroom space.
The Orange Lantern
On Sunday, dad brought the whole family out to lunch at The Orange Lantern. As usual, he read up about it in some makan review and wanted to check it out. I love the ambience of the place, it was so relaxing and chill-out. Seating in the resturant would make you feel like you're in some ulu part of Singapore although you're actually in town!
The service was pretty good too, dad asked about corkage and for warm bo bo cha cha (they usually served it cold) and they obliged (without any black faces!!). Sad to say, i had to wonder whether it had to do with the fact that the waitresses were foreigners (less attitude compared to Singaporeans??).
The food was pretty nice too. As usual when i eat vietnamese I'll go for the mixture beef pho. The soup was quite light, i didn't really taste the beef stock (I prefer heavier tasting soup!), but at least there wasn't any MSG. And they were pretty generous with the helpings of basil and bean sprouts (compared to this other viet resturant i'd been too).
deborah had the chili version of my noodles, which if you asked me wasn't that great cos they used chili oil to spice it up. dad and russell had dry noodles, it was pretty good, the texture of the noodles was interesting. russell also had an avocado shake, and i'd definately recommend that!

Why Me??!
I spent 1 whole day pulling my hair, trying to figure out what was wrong with my IIS. I couldn't create ASP.NET project and http://localhost "ENTER" would not work!
I installed and uninstalled IIS countless times. I reinstalled framework & VS2003 twice!!
Finally just awhile ago I finally found out that my COM+ was corrupted and had to be re-installed... and PROBLEM SOLVED!!
Was so totally relieved but I can't help but question.... why couldn't I just have had a simple aspnet_regiis registering problem like everyone else... hiaz

Dinner @ Changing Appetities
Had dinner at Changing Appetities (recommended by Cat's friend) to celebrate Ash & Char's birthday. The food there is quite nice, although somehow the whole settings just reminds me so much of Cafe Cartel.
And of course we chatted about all sorts of things, and after listening to a few stories, concluded that one should never mess with an attached guy (married or with GF), because you never know how vindictive a woman can be! I mean you may think I've been watching too many drama serials but in real life can mirror reel life!
What women can do or can accept for love is really unthinkable...

Driving Lesson #12
Just learnt how to do this thing called directional change. Basically what it means is that i have to drive into a dead-end and then use a space behind me on the right side to reverse out. IT IS DIFFICULT!!! ZZ Seems like the hard part of driving is starting, especially now that i'm doing directional change and right-turns.

Corpse Bride
Poor CC! I forced him to bring me to the movies (hehe but don't worry i know he enjoys watching movies with me).
The Corpse Bride
I think it's an OK movie. I was really expecting more, especially after watching some of Tim Burton's other movies before (such as the very recent Charlie & The Chocolate Factory).
But what I really really liked was one the main tunes, I'm not too sure which one it is but i think it's the one that the main character Victor Van Dort plays (Victor's Piano Solo).
And another thing about the movie was the really good animation. The textures were so detailed, that on the character's clothing you could really see cloth texture!
*Spoiler*
Funny Scenes
- I thought the Pastor was gonna help Victoria find Victor but he actually brought her back to her house.
- When the ghouls come up for the Wedding, it looked as if they were gonna attack the humans but it was really funny when they suddenly recognised each other (grandpa-grandson, husband-wife)
- The way the ghouls brushed past the Pastor for the Wedding
Peeve
- It was so totally obvious who the bad guy was from his silhouette
