World of Leion

I have not read the book before I came for the movie.

Summer watched the movie with me. She had read the book and so she knew what to expect. I came with 0 knowledge but left happily after the movie.

I am not going into the story line as I think almost everyone had read the book or watched the movie. I think the movie has many creative ideas and they are all very funny.

I was laughing throughout the whole show. I like those tiny men singing. They all had the same face. The whole show was peppered with that face, doing work for Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp do not look handsome in this show. If summer had not told me that he is him, I would not have known.

After the show, we went for dinner at Edo sushi. Not bad. Tried many seafood sushis which I had not tried before.

I went for this event with clownfish and constant.

The place where I stood was full of China students

We got to see many performances. Songs by Rui-en and a new singer. (forgot her name. Don’t know what yi) Both were students from NTU. There was a lucky draw giving out thumb drives, mp3 players and other things. No I did not get anything from it.

SKIP SKIP SKIP SKIP all the boring parts…

Unexpectedly, there was fireworks which looked really nice when fired above the SBS building.

SKIP SKIP a bit

Then finally came FIR. They sang LIVE. I always like singers to sing live. Dub singers are just wasting my time. I think FIR sang like 7 songs in total. Its really nice to hear it live like a concert. But then they disappear rite after singing the songs.

Then came the final lucky draw which did not finish at the start of the event. The 3 MCs were reading out names from a name list which, most of the lucky people were not around. After reading a few pages of names, they gave up and decided for games. They were supposed to choose a representative from each school for the games. Again, neither me nor my friends were chosen. Hence, we left for food. The food seemed to be a spread. Of course! The spread was left over from the PM and the VIPs.

Overall, I am happy to stay for the event. If only I got to win that digital camera….

8am: alarm ring….. wake up.
8:30am: got out of house and walk to the bus stop. Right on time to see that I have missed the bus.
8:32am: Gave morning call to cookieger and angela.
8:45am: Board the bus.
9:40am: Reach TPY interchange.
10:30am: Angela reached.
10:45am: Cookie reached.
11:05am: serene reached.
12pm++: Reached MachRitchie Reservoir Park.

We walked 5++km to get to the Treetop entrance.

The bridge started on solid structure. Then towards the middle part, it is less solid but still more solid than a swing bridge. The bridge is really tall from the ground.

My camera is lousy. But then the height is really tall.

This may look long but then actually, the actual walk on this can take only about 10 to 15 minutes only.

This bridge allows only one way direction. There is a closed gate at the exit which can only be opened from one side. It reminded us of Jurassic Park. I have forgoten to take a picture of the gate.

At the end of the bridge leads us to a track that looks like this.

But there are a lot of stairs before we come to this.

We walked another 5km++ to get out of the park. Total time took us like 3-4 hours for just a 10 minutes walk on the bridge.

Still it’s good that I managed to have a try on this famous treetop.

After the trip, we left for TPY again and ate our dinner at Swenson’s. The girls’ mood were marred by a group of noisy kids. Yup they were noisy because there was like only one or two adult taking care of them.

Nevertheless, I think its a nice trip. Though I went in slippers, I think track shoes may be better. I feel tired from all the walking. But I am satisfied that I have done a bit of exercise today.

Its going to be the end of?the week and I have not met my quota of going swimming and jogging.

Yes I went for pool, badminton and swim on monday. But then I did not swim my minimum of 40 lengths of the swimming pool, which I had promised myself. Badminton is never my favourite game. I am never good at racket games. Maybe because it is a group sport. I am not good in group sports (actually I am not good in any sport lah!)” /> That badminton session, I did not go quite willingly. I went because my friends had a odd number of players. (I agreed too readily when clownfish asked me hahahaa) But I think I still get a good workout from that session. My back and my right forearm muscles were aching the next day(actually my forearm still aches now).

I had wanted to swim today but then there was last minute plans to do my parallel processing lab this morning. No luck.

Anyway, I am looking forward to the Treetop trip tomorrow with cookieger and her friends. I had wanted to go there since its opening. I never had a chance to go with someone who I had wanted to go with. But it is ok. I shall go tomorrow with someone else. Heard it will take like 5 hours. Hope it will be enjoyable.

Today me, jits and conteen went and participate in the ICPC programming contest.

We joined the advance contest and were given 5 questions to solve in 2½ hours.

It was fun doing the questions but we did not manage to solve anyone completely.

We misinterpreted some condition of the questions and hence, even question 1, the easiest of the lot, we did not solve it as how they wanted the answer to be.

Nonetheless, we had good fun spending the afternoon at school.
The buffet was not as good as the previous competition. However, we still had a full stomach home

This seems interesting.

It involves the use of your fingers to stimulate your body organs, very much like the accupointures we all know of.

Here is a website that has more info on this. http://www.emofree.com/
Like, phobia, body aches, headaches and many others. I think this is interesting.

There is even a free instructional manual in the site. Think I will download and try try
