Doomsday is DOOM

I thought that Doomsday might be an interesting action packed movie for the weekend. Some guys might love the action and the overly gloried bloody scene. Personally I find the action a little too much of a child's play and in your face. But the lead actress has a cute ass.

As the Reaper Virus started to spread, the wall was locked and sealed, forever closing Scotland with a 30 feet tall wall. Three decades later, satellite information revealed survivals in the Glasgow. Major Sinclair (Rhona Mitra) of the Department of Domestic Security (DDS) was assigned to enter the desolated land.

The excursion is not without reason as the Reaper Virus has somehow started to spread in London. The DDS is faced with the urgency to deal with such an emergency crisis while at the same time deliver a cure. And henceforth Major Sinclair was tasked to locate Dr Kane who was left inside Glasgow or whatever cure he might have created. Everything revolves around politics and manipulation.

Several closed calls and deadly encounter inside "no man's land" for the Major and her team. And at the end of the day, she saved the day by delivering a survival (natural selection of the fittest survives) and a doctor, who will eventually deliver a cure to London (I hope and way too coincidental that they both the only survivals from the team). Anyways, this is how the story went and ended with Sinclair making peace with her past and creating new havoc inside Glasgow.

Rating: 2 out of 5 fairly (oops! I mean fairy) clouds. Watch only when you have nothing else to do. Or when you need to find an excuse to grab your date. So guys, this is a great opportunity to act macho for once.

Dayang 13-16 April 2008

Went on another trip to Dayang. I have to admit it was very fun and wonderful. Visibility was good on more of our dive stops at Captain Point, Rayner's Rock and Pinang. The crowd was great too. Peace brother, woohoo!

As with the other dives, I see a lot of fishes like nemo, moray eel, bumphead, batfish, blue puffer fish, white puffer fish, sea turtle, nudibranch, sea slugs, etc. The most amazing sightings of this trip were
1) White spotted moray eel
2) Porcupine puffer fish
3) Trigger fish
4) red color sea slug (I do not know the name)
5) sea turtle mating
6) Baby lobster
7) DOLPHINS!!!!

The baby lobster is so cute and adorable. Though I wanted to play with it. I decided not to harass it after tagging at its feelers for a short while. And oh my god! Dolphins! We saw 3 dolphins following playfully behind a fishing boat. They are such beautiful and amazingly smart creatures. I look forward to swimming with dolphins. It would be nice to sight them in during my dive, if it is possible.

I finally did my night dive this year. It was kind of interesting as we see different marine lives at night. But at some point, I did get a little uncomfortable and scared. But seeing people around me, my dive buddy next to me and many lights do kind of offered some comfort. So I just continued to fin as per normal and completed my 1hr night dive training.

I am also very proud of myself as I have gained more experience in maintaining my buoyancy. It was really cool. I love being underwater so far. I got to use a dive com this trip. And I learnt how important it is to have one. I look forward to getting my basic gear and dive com this year.

Yo peace brother! I look forward to another wonderful diving trip with my rowdy and fun diving buddies again. Peace. Woohoo!

Chilling @ Dempsey

I got my wish today. I went to chill @ Dempsey! Woohoo!

I had a wonderful dinner, Beetroot Pasta with Sun dried Tomato in Veal Sauce and a Upside Down Ginger Surprise. Very yummy and delicious. After dinner, my gal friend and I chilled out and made a spontaneous decision to head for the spa.

We both took the 90min massage. I have the Slow Flow Massage which is wax oil massage using Hawaiian technique. I feel wonderful and pampered tonight. I will make a point to go there for another massage. The experience and relaxation is worth the value.

Ladies Nite, Boggie Nite... Oh What a Nite!

I have a FANTASTIC day!!!!!

Started with a lunch celebration for a good friend of mine at work. We went to BlooiE for some wonderful Tex-Mex cuisine. And after work I met up with a couple of ex-colleagues at the Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel. We headed to Chevy 57 at Katong for some drinks and dance.

It has been a while since I'm out partying. I got to say, I do kind of miss such days when I get to hang out with friends to just drink and dance. I would still do it again, but I guess I prefer to chill more lately. Perhaps age is catching up with me. Perhaps I just didn't have enough sleep.

Either way, it was a wonderful evening. I love the company of close friends. And most importantly, I really love my single lifestyle very much. Girls, thank you for being so fabulous!
