Oh my god.... this is BUDGET AIRLINE!!!

13.12.2008 The Day The EARTH Stood Still

Weather: Moody Day

Today suppose have appointment with Andrew & Luke but cancel, post phone to next time. Gotta wait again...

Since nothing to do, dear dear bought ticket to watch 'Today The Day The Earth Stood Still' by the cool guy, Keanu Reeves. The story is about a mysterious alien, Klaatu (play by Keanu), travels to Earth with a simple mission to save the planet. He lands his vast space ship in Central Park, New York and announces his plans to a fearful world watching from all corners of the globe. He plan to destroy everything then re-populate the planet with clones of the current species. All except humans who he feels are responsible for Earth's destruction and must be permanently destroyed. He unleashes swarms of dust size robots who sweep through New York and the surrounding area dissolving everything in their path. As mankind fights to survive, one female scientist convinces Klaatu to stop the earth’s destruction and give human a second chance.



The movie is trying to pass message to the Homo sapien (Human) responsible in their destructive act to mother earth. Recent years catastrophes like tsunami and earthquake are very much related to global warming issue. Strange and unpredicted weather, iceberg melting situation is getting worsen. How long can the Earth stood still? Another 100 years? 200 years? I would say it won't be long if compare beginning when Earth is yet ruled by Homo sapien. After rapid civilization and human greed, living creature which exist even longer than human is seriously impacted and came to an extinction. It is time for all of us, everyone try doing their part for Earth sake. We deserve better tomorrow not only for our next generation but also all living creature co-exist with Earth .....


* Saw BOLT at Cineleisure near ticketing counter, can't resists to take photo with 'him' :p

After movie, we have dinner at Cineleisure basement, kinda cheap and the foods not bad though, compare with restaurant (10% service charge + 7% GST) -_-' Back home after filled up our stomach. Time to rest looo ~

11.12.2008 My Dear Birthday!!

Weather: Sunny Day

What day is today? Is my dear dear birthday! How do I celebrate with him? Here you go!

About 11am we reached Bugis to have breakfast. Apparently dear dear suggest to go Ya Kun where located at Raffles Hospital basement, however when we reached there - OH NO~~ It has changed to Spinelli! :-( No choice we have to walk back to Bugis shopping centre and have Ya Kun there (basement) as our breakfast.


After the yummy kaya toast and lovely coffee, we head to our 'target' place - where? To get our wedding band! Lydia the Sales Representative is around today, she is a nice and friendly person. Excellent service we can said! My proposal ring was bought from here! ^-*

Initially we plan to have a look without confirming today, however after sitting there for near to 2 hours and so coincidence we managed to choose the wedding band we like! Yeah~~ Let's go for it! Although the price is out of our budget, but we believe wedding band is a life time 'ring' lead along us... therefore we will choose something we really like. Need more than a month for customize the ring size. Believe it, the person who need to customize ring size is dear dear not me! Oh my, even Lydia quite shocked to see a man had such 'bamboo' finger! Haha, lucky still bigger size than me! *phew* Hooray! Bought our wedding band today!

Been spending too much times in Bugis, time to move forward to Orchard. We are going to watch the new cute 3D animation by Walt Disney - "BOLT''! Head straight to Wisma Atria Republic Food Court had our Dim Sum lunch. Dear dear purposely bring out the gift, from me to have a 'portfolio' snap :p Glad and happy dear dear like it so much! Had spent late night just to rush the assignment! :p

Finish our dim sum, let's go for 'Lightning BOLT!'

*Meeting Will Smith in person .. haha ~Wa .. Got sponsor set up poster acknowledge dear dear birthday! haha ~ that is for Keanu only lor... : p *

Good to watch movie during weekday - cheaper and lesser crowd. I love the show! It was very touching and cute... not forget Mittens (the cat), Rhino - the Hamster (Bolt No.1 fan)! Haha.... super funny!! Also the forgetful pigeon bring in much laughter as well ~ We rate this show as 8/10. Worth to watch! Thumbs up ~~


After movie we went for window shopping at Takashimaya. About 6.30pm head to the 'secret' place for tonight! :p When we are reaching, dear dear manage to guess where we heading to and he was mumbling again why I spend so much $, bleh bleh bleh.....

Reached! Here is our romantic dinner for tonight -->> PONTINI ITALIAN RESTAURANT. When we get in, the staff there already knew is me, smart duh~~ The seat that allocated to us was so cosy and romantic.. hehe.... lucky all my request was done properly! Satisfied!


Romantic birthday dinner in progress... *details undisclosed* Hahaha!! The pictures tells a thousand word..


Love the dinner and wine. Manage to sing birthday song to dear dear as well, though is not real birthday cake but is Tiramisu dessert. Yum yum!

Glad that dear dear love everything - food, wine, ambience, services and of course my meticulous plan! We satisfied with the great hospitality services in Pontini, excellent! As good as Garibaldi ^_^ We will go back again..

Wish dear dear happy, healthy, and handsome forever! Love you so much~~~ *muakz*
