Took a break from study and watch the movie "Must Love Dogs" yesterday... It was such a funny and romantic comedy. The movie was shown in the smallest cinema at the South Bank cineplex, but at the same time there wasn't much crowd at all (probably because the movie has been showing for quite awhile), and so it was really an ideal moment to watch the show...
As for the storyline, yeah, I like it. I feel that this is one of the better romance comedies I've watched over the years... Also to mention that Diane Lane simply looks stunning in the movie. Hopefully she can get nominated for the best actress in a comedy role at the coming Golden Globe Awards...
I was so happy to receive so many birthday greetings yesterday, from friends in Brisbane as well as friends back in Singapore. Many of them actually remember my birthday through alert in Friendster, hi5 and Ringo.
Here are just some of the greetings I got:
Justin (Friendster's message)
Phelicia (MSN)
Cammy (MSN)
Edward (MSN)
Patrick (Phone)Kezia (SMS)
Wenchao (Email)
Thank you guys & gals. All your little thought really mean so much to me...
Also like to thank my neighbour Robin for giving me the only birthday present I got so far - the "So Fresh" compilation CD which contained many songs that I wanted. Thank you Robin, for making my wish comes true...
This is unbelievable... I had nailed my auditing presentation with 10 out of 10, and my tutor told me that I was the only one in class to get such score so far. This is my second perfect score for an assignment this semester (got 5 out of 5 for my Access assignment) and it's really fantastic. Hopefully such amazing performances can sustain me to a happy completion of my entire degree course...

I love the hainanese chicken rice at the Cantonese restaurant in the city... It makes me feel like I'm having the same kind of hainanese chicken rice back in Singapore. I used to like roast chicken rice better in the past but I may have to change my perception now. I guess this is a fine example showing that people can easily take things for granted, i.e. missing what they don't have and complaining over what they have...
I don't actually know whether I should blog; I was kind of feeling down since returning from Melbourne... Didn't really enjoy the whole trip; always not getting enough sleep at night as my friend wanted to visit the casino, so ending up that we always woke up late in the afternoon. My friend even insist at one point that we should change our return flight timing to the evening so that we can spend more time going to other places, which will spend us an additional 60 bucks per person. Honestly I wouldn't want to spend such money just to stay for another 4 to 5 hours in Melbourne. We later decided to follow the original plan and returned to Brisbane on Thursday afternoon. I was so happy the moment I arrived back in Brisbane, feeling so much better with its pace and the lesser crowd as compared to Melbourne which is so crowded and bizarre...
During the trip, my friend also coincidently told me about two incidents he had in the past that kind of affected me in one way or another... I can't reveal the details of the incidents, but it does explain why "a book cannot be judged by its cover". Though the incidents happened 5 to 6 years ago before I even knew my friend, somehow I just couldn't seem to accept the fact; and because my friend is also fond of betting and gambling, I was actually reminded of a classmate in poly who was pretty much in a similar position before. Right now except for group outing, I don't really feel like going out with my friend alone. Perhaps I'm being too judgemental about the whole thing, but I really feel that sometimes it's better to let certain things fade away rather than being reminded of unhappy memories or letting history repeating again...
