Thlovecarousel: movie

Today's (well, now it's yesterday), it was day 2 of CNY.

Went over to my mother's side of the family's house for visiting.

Wore something really simple :)

TVD's white dress (lazy to take a picture) haha. Yes, I know, it's THE VELVET DOLLS again~ I love their clothes because they manufacture a lot of pretty pieces that are unique and most importantly, MY STYLE.

Okay, so we played a quick round of Black Jack and I headed to Junction 8 to meet up with my 2 guy besties for dinner+movie.

We ate at pastamania, and as usual, the quality differs day to day/place to place. The sauce I had with my pasta was so bland and watery that I didn't even finish the pasta. :(

Anyway, we watched A Good Way to Die Hard

This movie wasn't as fantastic. The plot was just average. Sad. Plus it was PG13, so all the vulgarities that you commonly hear in action films are censored. Gore scenes were mostly likely removed too. Terrible :/ But what choice do we have?

Anyway, they had a part where they filmed in fake Chernobyl, the place that has been abandoned when the radio active meltdown occurred.

It bugged me when they entered that area without any protective gear, are they trying to grow limbs/ have cancer? haha. But other than that, it's rather cool to actually see how Chernobyl might look like in real life. haha.

So.. after the movie, we went to Safra at Toa Payoh to play pool

I admit I am rather noob at pool, moreover, I haven't been playing for over a year. But then, I actually manage to win my friends for 5 times out of the 6 rounds. Okay, I only managed to win on my own for once, and the rest were pretty much won because they hit the black ball before they were supposed to or they called the wrong hole. hahahahaha.

They were so determined to win me. Guys.. :P

We then went to Upper Thompson Road for prata at Prata House!~

My egg cheese onion and garlic egg onion pratas. SINFUL

I ordered a horlick dinosaur that I didn't manage to finish because I was too full. Well, I didn't really eat much for dinner because of the awful sauce :(

There goes my "no supper" plan.

Ah, happy day happy happy day ^^

Okay, I'm really very tired. I need my sleep! Haven't been sleeping much lately :(

BUHBYE

The last I blogged was maybe 10 days ago? hahaha!

So now I'm back!! :)

I went out with my JC friends to Causeway Point to catch up.

Well, the Causeway Point you see now isn't quite the same as when I was 13 years old.

It used to look like this

Then it was renovated and it now looks like this

It's both good and bad. I had been going to CWP my entire secondary school life since it was just a few minutes' walk away from my school (Riverside Secondary). But ever since I went to JC and then uni, I seldom visit CWP because I just go straight home which is at Admiralty. So it's rare for me to head there. Hence, I'm still not very familiar with the stores in the new CWP though I know that B1 now has a lot of food stores. And when I said a lot, I really mean a lot. hahaha.

Okay, back to the topic. So I went to Empire State which is located at level 2.

Taken from google

I ordered their Seafood Chowder ($6.90) which was highly recommended (according to the menu). It's nice :) I like chowders a lot. But I don't drink them often due to the high calories :(

Then I ordered Chicken Fettuccini ($14.90). It tasted nicer than those in pastamania hehe. But the portion given is so huge that I cannot finish my food :( But then again, it means that it's worth the money!

I was so full that I didn't feel like getting their desserts :(

And another thing, their uniform had funny captions at the back.

One of which is "I didn't climb to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian" or something like that. It was funny at that time due to how my friend phrased it to laugh at my vegetarian friend. But if I were a vegetarian, I would be kinda upset if I saw this :(

After which, we went to watch Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, which explained the "candy gore" in this post's title :)

It's rated NC16 due to some gore scenes but then again, they didn't reveal the full gore else it'll be M18. haha

It didn't feel very gorey to me. But it was somehow funny at some parts. I like how they infused the original Hansel and Gretel story we've all heard when we were young about their trip to the candy house and their parents bringing them to the forest and all. But it was a nice change to the usual childhood story.

Ah and yes. I finally had time to collect my prize from the giveaway done by Manic Panic SG :)

Electric Amethyst <3

I've been winning quite a few giveaways lately. I'm so happy :D

Since Chinese New Year is next week, I'll post about my loots :)

But before that, let me show you this cute little piggy! It's actually black pig bak kwa! It's super expensive! $32 for a box of 36! But then, it's quite cute :)

Okay, I bought new nail polishes!
