The Older We Get, The Less Courageous We Are
That is the conclusion I have after watching a horror movie in cinema recently. The movie is none other than PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, the budget movie that has raked in lots of profit and shall continue to!
I've heard about how scary it is, and have read the reviews. One of them mentioned how it scared the bones out of Steven Spielberg's skin. He took the very same tapes back home to watch, when his door got strangely locked up by itself. He quickly threw the tapes into a garbage bag and sent them back to Dream Factory.
However, when the movie started, I began to suspect how true those rave reviews were. The story moved rather slowly and I could just stare at the screen boldly. But hang on...I totally underestimated it, it was part of the plan. The horror works just like an exponential curve - it tortures you towards the end and right till the end.
Anyway. Last night I had trouble sleeping and went to bed with my mind still refusing to rest. Needless to say, my imagination ran wild and I started to recall some scenes from the movie in the dark.
That caused me more trouble trying to fall asleep. (-.-)
So watch it only if you are gungho enough...or else be prepared to sacrifice some sleep! I really hope more people will watch it though, so I can have discussions with them on the movie. Haha...

How true is this statement:
The beauty of friendships lies in that fact that they may and can die.
There are things that we've lost along the way, things that we've long forgotten or thought that we've left far behind...Yet...when we see a certain picture, scene or anything for that matter, familiarity hits us like it was just yesterday.
Our paths may or mayn't cross again but this is Life.
No matter what, I really hope u are doing fine! Sending my sincere blessings from Singapore to you. :)

Materialised our picnic plans! Thanks to the good weather! It only rained right after we left the beach.
Made lots of tuna, ham and cheese sandwiches, mini hotdogs, egg salad; bought apple juice, chips, sweets, blueberries. Sat down and enjoyed each other's company = Great weekend. ;)
Going out for dinner tonight. HAPPY 5.5 YEARS TO US!

Officially turning a quarter century old in approximately ten days' time. Kind of happy about it!
My present to myself is a full day annual leave on my birthday.
Can't wait!:)
It's 2 a.m. now. I guess I have a bad habit of staying up late on Friday night as a form of reward to myself for surviving the entire work week. And for this week, hope to go on a PICNIC over the weekend! Hope it doesn't rain.
Got to go zzz now...Eyes are giving in...Everyone do take care especially since the weather is so erratic nowadays. Have a happy weekend!!

Watched this movie online today and didn't find it great... Not up to expectations, though Cameron Diaz did put up a convincing performance.
Nevertheless, it's a great day today! Recovered from nasty cramps, did some little shopping and chilled out.
On a side note, it's Nov now and December will be here in no time. Favourite months of the year! Time to go see Christmas lightings soon...

Monopoly has always been a game that I liked since young. I was thrilled when dad bought me the classic monopoly game set when I was in primary school/secondary school. Yes I've always wanted to be a millionaire...haha...I enjoy building houses and hotels on all the strategic locations on the board. I still have the set kept in rather good condition and play it occasionally.
Now, Mac's has come up with an innovative marketing idea. I think it's brilliant. The ads caught my attention when they first appeared on the television.
And so we went to Mac's for our Sunday dinner! It was fun just peeling off the labels, anticipating what laid beneath. Although we very much knew that there are some property title deeds that simply could not have appeared at this stage of the marketing campaign. And although the top prize does not entitle you to be a millionaire, well, $50k is attractive enough!
Waiting for my Sentosa Cove is like finding a needle in a haystack. But sometimes it's the process that counts.(i dun mind the ipod too.)
