Target route for this evening (29 Jun '11)

My friend "bung" me "ber gi"*, so can't run to ECP later. Thinking of running back to Bishan MRT via Bradell road. Mapped the run from MapMyRun.com and it said it's only 6km. Hopefully won't appear on the headlines of news tomorrow :P


* "Fly me aeroplane" (literal translation)

Lunch at Parkway Parade (28 Jun '11)

After the exercise, headed over to Parkway Parade for a scrumptuous meal. It's been a long time since i last ate there, after we shifted office away Chai Chee. Missed the mee siam, grass jelly and durian ice-cream. There goes my effort from the mid-day exercise though...

Views of BEdok Jetty (28 Jun '11)

Took these at the jetty after my run yesterday. Couldn't upload them on the spot because of "low phone memory"... :p

13 Assassins/ 十三人の刺客 / Jūsannin no Shikaku (2010)

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Foreign

An Japanese samurai epic, of the old school film genre. Has lotsa blood and action, with moments of waiting in suspense.A philosophical contest of bushido, with a morbid Japanese fixation of death and violence, punctuated with humor. A truly Japanese movie that must be watched on the big screen to fully appreciate the theatrics. Unfortunately, the scissors of the censors has struck again, and there are parts that are obviously censored...

Confucius / 孔子(2011)

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Drama

Another free movie on Mio Home TV. Not your typical ancient China warring movies. Slower paced than most period dramas, more of a artistic re-imagining of the life of Confucius.

The Scam/ 작전 / 作戦 (2009)

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Foreign

Was still grumbling why there are so many Korean show on Mio Home TV selections lately. Surprisingly, this is not a bad Korean movie about stock-trading, although it's a bit ludricous how a down-and-out day-trader can rise up so high up. Well, it's a show after all, so just be entertained.
