Looking for Car?

Been very bored lately.
Couldn't think of what to do.
So I decided to check out the different new cars on sale at sgcarmart.
After browsing a few of the car brands in mind, these are the few picks that I like.

Chevrolet Optra Magnum Sedan 1.6L
$56,888 (A)
$53,888 (M)
Fuel tank capacity: 60L
Fuel consumption: unknown

Chevrolet Aveo Sedan
$52,188 (A)
$49,188 (M)
Fuel tank capacity: 45L
Fuel consumption: unknown

Mitsubishi Lancer
EX 1.5 Elegance: $58,988 (A)
Fuel tank capacity: 59L
1.6 (A) $49,988
1.6 (M) $48,488
1.6 Sports (A) $53,988
1.6 Sports (M) $50,488

I feel that the front is really ugly for Elegance.

Nissan Sunny 1.6L
1.6 EX FL (A) $54,500
1.6 EX FL (M) $52,000
1.6 SS FL (M) $58,500

Mazda 3
This one I tried once and feel that the car is not fuel efficient.
It's like a patrol drinker car.
Another thing is that sometimes, the car refuses to accelerate further at 40km/h.
Other than that, the car is rather smooth to drive.

The cars are expensive and I estimated that with my salary as a teacher, it'll take 4+ years to save that amount of money at $1k per month.
On top of that, there's road tax, radio tax, car plate, patrol, maintenance cost involve.
Sigh...
When will I get my car?

Cloverfield?!?!?!

Finally, at 10.30pm, I reached Serene's house to join the class gather for about 45min.
They were watching Cloverfield.
Serene looked scared.
By the time I came, they were already half way through the movie.
I just sat down and watch.

This is one boring movie with moster in it.
First of all, it makes no sense to have a normal videocam surviving all that shock, blood, with night mode and the built in light on to have a battery to last throughout the whole movie.
Secondly, it's way to fast for 3 ppl to climb up 57 storeys on stair with that videocam recording.
Thirdly, that auto-fousing scene... rubbish.
Fourth, video is like being retrived after all that rocks falling on it and covering it at the end?!?!?! Like the tape isn't damaged at all from the impacts.

Whatever...
If you tell me it's scary.
I think it's totally not.
It could be because I watched it from the middle on.
But if the last half is so boring, what can the first half spice up to?

yawnz,

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Finally, I caught the lastest movie of Indiana Jones in the theatres.
Watched it with Teng Yong and Fifi at AMK Hub after Jx's wedding.
The second newest Cathay cineplex (newest one is at Downtown East).
The cinema was freaking cold.
You can actually feel the cold air blowing at you!!!

I watched the past 3 movies of Indiana Jones on tv and I liked it.
It can be considered as one of my childhood movies I grew up with.
Each movie is filled with new advanture for artifects.
The Radiers March is an unforgettable song piece of the movie.

Many funny moments in the movie.
In the first 2 movies, Indiana Jones is seen working alone.
Then comes the 3rd movie where his father comes into scene.
And now in the 4th movie, his son comes into action.

Knowledge is for you to find, not for you to be fed with.

burrrr cold,

Congrates to Jiexiang and Corine

I was invited to the wedding lunch of Jiexiang and Corine.
Jiexiang was the President of the NUSPS 37th MC.
I was the assistant secretary then.

This is my first wedding invitation.
Also my first lunch wedding banquet.
NUSPS had one table, which seats 7 out of 12 committee members while the rest were taken up by close friends of NUSPS.
Next to our table is the NUSPS alumni table.

The group table shot (photo by patrick).

Some of the photos can been seen at Gerald's work blog.

We felt that Jiexiang was running another montage more than his wedding.
hahahah...
Never seen such an active groom at his wedding banquet before.

Happy wedding to Jiexiang and Corine.
And I wish them eternal happiness.
Remember the 4 Rs we have for you:
Relax, Reproduce, Replenish, Repeat (cycle).

Their wedding bells ring today,
Peiyan

p.s. No more weddings at isolated, difficult to find way to country club for those future wedding couples.

The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian

After Montage 2008 and dinner and harbourfront's foodcourt.
Eugene, Fifi, Gerald and I were thinking that it was too early to go home.
We decided to walk over to Vivocity to check out what movie was available.
Just nice, the timing for Narnia was starting soon.
We decided that we'll catch it.

I've never watched the first Narnia movie so I don't really know the story behind it.
But kind Gerald summarised the first movie into a short 5min understanding.

Bad news was that the person who sold us the tickets screwed up the movie timing and we ended up getting tickets for the later show.
It was first row seats.
Luckily, the staff at the entrance were quick enough to get us into going-to-start-soon timing, which is what we asked for.
And from the first row, we changed to the last row.
Yipee.

The movie was rather crappy.
It's like a combination of LOTR and Harry Potter (the guys said that there was Shrek too).
The flying bird like creature which lookes like those in Harry Potter and the moving trees in LOTR?!?!?!
3 blind mice in Shrek which are no longer blind here?!?!?
hahah
Of course there were funny moments.

The movie was 145min long and it ended past midnight.
Luckily I rented car that weekend.
Sent Fifi back to his house at CCK and drove myself back home.

Aslan's roar,
Peiyan
