Omen...

was feeling down over the past week... for various reasons... work, love, lust, etc... this seems to have become an "indulgence" for me... something that i know i should get out of...

watched four bad movies in nine days...

the string started with Superman Returns on 30 June 2006... too much expectations for the movie, resulting in huge disappointment...

next came 4:30 on 5 July 2006... similarly, went to watch the movie with a lot of expectations from Royston Tan, since 15 was such a touching movie... from a certain perspective, the movie did portray the loneliness extremely well... maybe i wasn't in the right frame of mind to watch it...

third in the line was Thank You For Smoking... saw the trailer and thought it's gonna be a helluva fun movie to watch... but it was dry and boring...

finally, The Unforgiven... a Korean movie... something different... but the plot was ridiculously thin... the flashbacks confused the audience further...

fortunately the weekend was filled with great company and food glorious food...

Friday's dinner wat at TCC, Cineleisure... an obvious choice since the movie was there... then dessert was at Heeren's NYDC... couldn't find a smoking spot, ended up in the "No Smoking" zone... how inappropriate since we've just watched Thank You For Smoking...

Saturday's dinner was at Sun With Moon, after two gym classes of BodyCombat and BodyBalance... god workout... first time doing Balance... very unsteady... will do more of it... Sun With Moon never disappoints... they even gave us a room to ourselves... so exclusive...

after movie, we had dessert at Coffee Club outside California Fitness, while contemplating whether to club or not... by the time the plasma TV was switched on right in front of our seats, it was around 1:30am... gave clubbing a miss and headed home...

Sunday's dim sum at Yan Palace was cheap and good... met up with new faces of Meng, Kieran and Chris... and the dessert at JDC (Ji De Chi) was nice too...

before dinner, we visited the DFS in Orchard... very big place... first time that i've stepped into this place... nice boutiques... finally got to see all the branded stuff... LV, Prada, Dunhill, Gucci, Hermes, etc...

the weekend ended with dinner at NYDC Wheelock Place... the Pigs Can Fly is still so good... and the Mushroom Madness pizza was as superb as ever... my Fruitty Elephancino was served with whipped cream... told the waitress to remove the cream and i never get to see the drink again... and they still have the cheek to charge me for it... the NYDC at Wheelock was so over-staffed while the one at Heeren was so understaffed...

i wonder if all the bad movies and the great food and company even out each other...

but then today, i forgot my lock... no lock, no gym... bad sign?? or good sign?? or no sign?? you tell me... hahahaha...
