Went out today with Kel, nick, yang, jaren, gab and yang to celeb yang's bday. Went to intercontinental hotel at bugis junction to have lunch/ high tea. Cost me 35 bucks, argh big BIG hole in my wallet. Probably burnt right through my pocket as well. Nevertheless it was fun, and full of crap. Their cheese cakes and ebiko tastes great. i think their ebiko trashes sakae haha. Did not really stuff myself this time, so 35 bucks was abit of a waste. Their tea isnt bad too. The staff there were immaculate, and VERY VERY professional/ observant. Pleasant experience dining there. I asked for a spoon because my spoon was cleared together with my plate, and the waitress seeing that i was having soup brought me a soup spoon, promptly received our desert spoons and teas with a smile when we asked too.

Went arcade at bugis after that, lost at stage 1 for time crisis 4 ( on 1 coin ) despite pairing with kel. We both lost. 1st time this has happened in a long long time. Lack practice, used to be able to complete the game in 2 coins. After that, all 6 of us went to some machine where u throw balls at the screen and are suposed to hit some of the graphics. Tons of fun haha, 6 guys spamming stuff at a console, managed to get a 2nd place for highscore. Yang named us as chibaii -_-".

Went to watch red cliff at bishan with yang, nick, kel and stella. Like finally, that yang brought his gf along ( wahhaha so i got my wish in the end ). Nice show, its a chinese epic movie. Itwas entralling watching the characters pit their mental wits against each other, and the battle scenes were bloody and great action. The scenery was gorgeous too. Ancient china never looked more beautiful. There are a few commedy moments thrown in too with good effect, mainly revolving around 'zhuge liang' haha, watch it and you'll know what i mean. give it a 4 out of 5. Disagree with the straits times review that said the scenes between the 2 battles were a bore. It developes the story fuller and it is those moments which makes this film more than just a hack and slash movie. Watch it, it is good ( 1st time i am promoting a chinese movie lol ). Part 2 out at the end of the year. Its soundtrack is great too!
