Pink helmet

I can't believe I forgot to blog about this but PL got me a new helmet a few days ago :) On Sunday in fact. It is a purplish-pink tranx helmet. =D and it costs like 65 bucks? And one very funny thing happened because I took his bolster and slept. He was like, "U being granted PR status doesn't mean that you have citizenship." Aptly true.

Review: 2nd time watching Hansel and Gretel

Went to watch Hansel and Gretel with PL. For him, it's the first time, and for me, it's the second. This time round, we took the front row seats, instead of the back seat that I got the previous time. I enjoyed the show tremendously, despite watching it for the second time. The view up close is definitely better. Audience wise: I felt that the preview had a better audience (they were more enthu) Cast wise: I could feel the lack of enthusiasm for this current round. (they probably got a bit tired of singing the same songs over and over again, and their voices were losing their touch.) But PL felt that their voices were still good.

I was quite surprised when I heard the Indian accent in the movie. But the accent was still bearable. The CG effects were good, esp when they showed the night scenes. The story started with a failed author interviewing an Indian man in his house, and the Indian man, Piscine (Pi) narrated his story to him. Piscine was one who religiously believed in God; he was a Hindu, Christian and Muslim at the same time. One day, his family decided to leave India and went on board a ship. Ship sank, and Pi was on the lifeboat with the animals. Most importantly, a tiger. He lived together with the tiger on/near the lifeboat till one day, he finally reached shore. The story was very touching, and it was a miracle that he could stay that long on the lifeboat without dying. But... The end really struck a chord in me. Did he really lived with the

Frustrating customers

There are some irritating people out there who do not know the meaning of waiting, and demands to be served immediately. Even when the fault is clearly of the system, they like to think that they are up and above the staff who is serving them. These people are the lowest of the mankind.
