Tues 27th July 2004<\/p>\n
okie so Tues was supposed to be a pretty ordinary day. i was nearly fallin aslp in the office until i had an ‘adventure’ in the late aftnn.<\/p>\n
well there was some conference dat my company organised, so they invited all those big shots to come. so apparently this guy arrived in SG in sun nite, and used his Germany-issued PostBank card at one of the ATM machines at Changi Airport. his card can supposedly be used at any machine dat has a Visa logo. so dunno wat happened, the DBS machine ate up his card, and he called up DBS to ask. they told him his card was issued in Germany so none of their biz. he called up Germany and they said he lost his card in SG so none of their biz. so he was kinda pissed and he complained to my boss who was aso at the conference. so since he big shot, and he complain to her, she decided to help him get the card back. so my dept secretary had to call DBS countless times to get the card back, and they agreed but said dat the big shot muz collect it himself. obviously he wun and cant since he’s in the conference, so more calls, more talking, until finally they agreed to let us tk the card and pass to him. so since i’m the sua kang person in the office, and since they all got work to do and datelines to meet, i had to leave at around 4+,5pm to tk a cab down to DBS Bank in Chai Chee, tk the card, den go to Grand Copthorne Hotel where he was there for the conference. in the end, i din even get to see who this big shot was, coz i juz passed the card to my boss. bah. it was quite a mad rush reallie, coz i was supposed to go watch a movie aft dat, and i was so afraid dat i was gonna be late. so from the hotel, i juz took another cab to Orchard. haha all cab fees claimed from my company. <\/p>\n
aniweas i went to watch “The Return”. this Russian film abt a r\/s betwn a father and his sons. Life gave it 5 stars and it won quite a few awards, but i dun feel dat it deserved all the accolades. it din reallie mk me think, unlike “Facing Windows”. all i felt at the end was “huh? dat’s it?” but it was good acting tho, and the camping scenes reallie freaked me out coz it reminded me soo much of my oBS times. oh man well i survived it all and thought it was an interesting experience, i NEVER want to do it again. lookin at the sons paddling the boat in the rain and trying to mk it to shore, and them being so tired. lookin at them camping, cookin the food over fire, washing the bowls with sea water. aiyo all so much like OBS times, so freaky. it’s too rough and tough for me, i prefer the comfort in the city. and the paddling, aiyo like the horrible kayaking i did on the first day, hvin to paddle reallie fast coz we were laggin behind and the huge storm was looming. yucks. oh apparently my manager was in the same cinema, watching the same movie at the same time, and was sitting in the row right in front of mine. but i din even see her and vice versa. we onli found out the next day. talk abt yuan fen. like those rubbish mediacorp shows. so near yet so far. <\/p>\n
aniwaes got a lot of other movies to watch!! how!! sure hv to waste $$ again. i dun mind a free tic to Collateral or 13 Going On 40. The Swimming Pool is coming out!! this one MUST watch!! and the sequel to Princess Diaries!! it looks damn funny!! and Ladder 49, the firemen show. oh man, my favourite kind of show, even if it seems a lot like Backdraft. William Baldwin was so damn cute in Backdraft, and it was so damn sad. and i knoe dat if i were to watch Ladder 49, i would cry like crazy too. and did i mention Alexander? his story has a special meaning to me, so i want to watch the movie to see the screen version even if i dun like Colin Farrell. and it’s all not coming out yet, and my sch’s gonna start!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
