Just a small rant on how great meeting up with your friends is!
There's something about meeting up with your friends to chit-chat, gossip and bitch. It's almost always results in loads of fun and laughter.
Although there so many ways nowadays to communicate without actually meeting up such as thru telephone calls, sms, instant messaging and blogging. But I've come to realise that nothing can beat meeting up with your friends and sharing the latest news and laughing your heads off!
It's just so enjoyable that sometimes i even feel that time passes too fast and i've not yet had my fill of fun...
Damn it's great to have wonderful funny crazy fun-loving friends! ; )
(A bit off topic but, hmm i've just found another reason not to immigrate)
And on a side note, a crap thing is to get "rudely" awaken by an sms early on a nice rainy cool morning after you've gone home late (or really early) after a gathering and now have a bloody pounding headache, tired eyes, a stiff neck and slight sniffles.... !@#$%^&*()

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
It's the usual Harry Potter movie . I think the best scene was the Quidditch World Cup scene. It was so cool, really looked like a scene from the Soccer World Cup.
But mainly I have preeves
- Why are Cho Chang and Fleur Delacour not babes?? The impression that I got from the books are that they were really good looking or at least Fleur supposed to be very good looking. Is it because they're not supposed to be prettier than Hermione?
- I dislike the way the current Dumbledore is protrayed! The way he acts is not awe inspiring and strong the way a leader should be. I mean he's supposed to be a really powerful wizard but he backed off from the flames of the Men of Durmstrang's performance. It made him look bad if u ask me!
- What's up with the entrance of the ladies of Beauxbatons? Walk in, pose and sigh?? What's up with that sigh???
- Why did the mer-people not allow Harry to rescue Hermione but yet allow him to rescue Fleur's little sister?
I'm wondering whether all these sucky stuffs have anything to do with the fact that they've changed the director...

DOOM: The movie
Watch Doom with CC, my 1st day spent with him after coming back from my trip as he was busy with project. The phrase 'Absense makes the heart grow fonder', can be quite true ; )
Quite an action-packed movie. It isn't the usual scary movie where creepy things pop-up and you hear people screaming away. But there is suspense and lots of blood and gore and quite gross stuff too.
According to CC, most fan-boys will be able to recognise characters like Sarge and Pinky. They've also changed the story a bit so it has more scientific reasoning to avoid being bashed by religious groups.
The whole background of the film is very high tech, from the way that they are ported to different locations to the nano wall and Pinky's wheelchair.
The part leading to the ending is a bit odd, but it does show the first person shooter view, just like the game!
Overall, I would say this is not a must watch, but if you're looking for some entertainment then watch this movie.

Trip to Taiwan & HK
I'm back from my trip!!
High Lights
The room in Taipei was nice and big, although it was far from the city.
The hot spring was sooooo relaxing and comfortable.
For one of the meals they had baby pig trotters, sinfully delicious!
I shopped like a mad woman, stuffs are cheap if you know where to look for them, don't go into the main stores but those small corner shops.
The roast goose in HK is shiok, a definate must try!
I got to go to Disneyland HK!!! Ok so it's the smallest Disneyland and the queues are atrocious but it's Disneyland!!! Loved the 3D movie, you could actually smell the pie that was shown and feel wind and water! I think the most thrilling ride there was probably Space Mountain. And of cos don't miss out the fireworks show.
Low Lights
We were placed at this ulu place on the first night, Tau Yuan Chun.
The vegetable served at every meal was cabbage, not exactly my favourite vegetable...
In Taiwan, I think I spend more time in the bus then touring.
Interesting Lights
The rice served in Taiwan is a bit like Japanese rice, short and sticky.
Learnt about Pixiu.
Wierd Lights
The hotel at Sun Moon Lake that we stayed at was opposite a big temple. The 1st 3 floors were below ground floor. We were located at the 3rd floor.
There was a giant centipede in the room and a grasshopper in the toilet!! Luckily we managed to get another room.
On the last day of the tour, we found out that it wasn't only our room that had centipede. And according to this lady who found the centipede on her bed (!!!!), it means there are dirty things around.
She also said that when she opened the window she saw a light in a distance and she's a bit short sighted so she stared to see what it was. Then she saw something white and decided that something was not right and quickly closed the window and curtains.
According to her, there was a couple in our group who saw an old woman/man a distance away outside. But the time we arrived at the hotel was 23:30-00:00, and logically there shouldn't be old people hanging around at that time....
I think the most ironic thing was that the temple opposite the hotel was a really big temple...
Will edit this post later to add in some photos
