Movie | twiinklex ❤

Caught stomach flu and had to take 2 days of MC. Spent Wed night puking and shitting. Actually I kinda asked for it because I showered, had dinner, and went to sleep straight away (with wet hair) because I was so tired. Plus I slept on the floor so my posture was bad. No wonder I woke up rushing to the toilet to puke -_-

I’m all well now and today is the last day of my very long weekend T_T
Didn’t do much these days but rest. Went out with Darilene yesterday though! 😀

Seafood ramen from Ajisen!
Much prefer their spicy stuff but 🙁

Sides we shared

This shouldn’t be surprising but I was anyway; I planned on just buying a pair of skinny jeans for work but I ended up spending so much on other stuff as well. So I made my very first purchase from Forever21 as well as bought my first pair of skinny jeans. That’s 2 firsts!

But seriously, it’s always so fun buying stuff with her because we are both at it and I know I can always trust her judgement. Went to drink iced tea after all the walking and when we wanted to leave, one of the exits to the mrt was locked.

Normal human mind: Might have to cab home
My filled-with-horror-movies-mind: Oh shit what if we get stuck and have to spend the night in the mall

Shut up.

The previous weekend was more happening 😀
Met You You on Friday (5 Oct) after work! Queued ages for Sho Teppan at Orchard Ion.

The seating is like a bar counter and there’s a stove before you to cook food on your own. Forgot the actual names but I had the chicken rice and You You had the salmon rice. Both came with miso soup, egg and salad.

Not ours but it looked good so I took a picture.
Some people had soup bases in their pots to cook and they just dipped the meat and nommed

Cooking!!!

Actually, both of us were starving but we found the food to be pretty meh. Nobody taught us how to control the stove as well so our food got burnt and the chao da taste overpowered everything. Not sure if it’s because of that or if the food’s really not nice. I got tired of it after a few mouthfuls. I’d rather eat Haiwanese chicken rice.

What an unsatisfying meal! All that waiting and queueing for nothing.
We exited and right beside Sho Teppan was Soup Spoon so we decided to give it a try 😛

Shared this between us for $7.50!
Actually I don’t even know what it’s called, just randomly ordered the first one they let us try.

Don’t know why it looks like curry here but the true color is like the first photo. It’s like pasta sauce actually!
With bits of penne pasta, potato, chicken, mushrooms and loads of other stuff. Super nice 😀

Anyway by then it was pretty late already so all we did was look around Prologue before going home 🙁

On Saturday (6 Oct), watched Premium Rush with Andre and Dian 😀
I really liked it! Would give it around an 8.5/10. Wanted to watch a second movie but no slots because everyone either had to come late/leave early 🙁

Had dinner with Darilene after that!
We just sat down and talked nonstop for 4 hours straight hehe yay.

Had potluck with my family on Sunday (7 Oct)! 😀
Sundays are fatdays. I’m either eating out with my parents and bro, at my grandmother’s house, or at some family gathering/bbq/etc (which I rarely blog about because I’m more interested in eating ok) hehehe.

Priscilla baked strawberry cheesecake (she bakes the best cakes!) and Evelyn brought 3 tubs of Island Cremery ice cream over, in addition to all the dishes that everyone had already cooked.

It was also sort of a celebration for all the October babies – my aunt, cousin’s bf, bro and me! 😀

Backtrack even further to 28 Sep, which was the last time I saw all 3 of my girls together. It was a Friday but I was on MC (ikr but I was ill for real the previous night, don’t know why keep falling sick these days -_-). Basically just sat down at Just Acia and chatted over dinner 😀

This is like my new addiction hahaha

Dinner with Amos with on 26 Sep, Wednesday at Bugis’s Ajisen! Actually initial plan was for just for him to buy a jacket for his Brisbane trip but then as usual… sigh. I mean, it’s Bugis! A shopping haunt! How can you expect me not to succumb to temptation right?!

Really liked my seafood tom yum ramen ^^

Anyway, bro’s birthday was on 11 Oct aka the very day I caught stomach flu and I feel bad that we didn’t get to do much… but here’s the blackforest cake which I had a small slice of!

Okay this is more like a picdump post hehehe. And my heart hasn’t really been in blogging recently so most of the pictures are from my phone. Hopefully I’ll start updating regularly again because I do have loads of things to say all the time, it’s always the mood/time/feeling!

So much gratitude and love for all the people I’ve mentioned here ❤
Always excited to see them whenever I can!

Had a movie marathon with some classmates (Gerry/Darilene/Dian/Muz/Hariz/Mark) last Thursday and it turned out to be horror-themed, even though we didn’t plan for it to be that way. But I guess it was inevitable since at least 3 of us were hardcore horror fans, plus Muz brought a haul of DVDs and they were mostly horror. Anw, it was scary, fun, and very memorable 😀

Voice (2005)
This was okay, I watched it before. It was still daylight and not everyone arrived yet.

Quarantine (2008)
Okay as well. This was the only movie all 7 of us watched together since not everyone stayed over. More like watching a comedy actually, because of the commentary from Mark and Hariz throughout. I got worried about rabies and my guinea pigs though -_-

23:59 (2011)
Also okay, not very scary.

A Perfect Getaway (2009)
Favourite move ever, enough said :)))))) Also the only non-horror movie we watched. Muz watched The Hunger Games on the computer at the same time though.

REC 2 (2009)
This was really good and scary, especially with the infected suddenly appearing from ceilings above you. By then it was pretty late and we didn’t have the DVD so we watched it on the computer, which means the screen is so much nearer to us as compared to a television. I can see myself getting really scared if I watched it alone, in the dark, like I usually do. Just plain awesome. There’s this character we referred to as Zayn Malik the whole time due to the slight resemblance HAHAHA. My favourite part was when the cute reporter calls out “Pablo~~~!” and runs to him SO CUTE.

Guinea pig statues we passed while stocking up on snacks at NTUC which had me thinking about rabies again. Turned out I was right to feel unsettled about my guinea pigs because no one at home remembered to feed them grass at night, since it’s usually my job.

None of the movies really scared me, since I was watching with a big group of people. What’s scary was this PC game called Slender, which we tried playing before 3). Hence watching 4) because I said I needed a break.

Shit, it’s a game of really simple premises and yet it was terribly frightening because of the buildup and because you are playing it. There weren’t even any sudden pop-ups, all that happened was that the Slenderman comes into your line of vision from far away – which was the scary part.

So I was on the seat playing, with Hariz and Mark on either side of me. Found 3/8 pages, saw the Slenderman, we screamed, Hariz (who was at a corner) pushed me to get out and we 3 ended up scrambling away for dear life, scaring Gerry who was playing Dance Central with Muz. Then later it was Hariz’s turn to play and I screamed twice. Didn’t even want to look a the game again after that, not even when it was a YouTube video of someone completing the game.

Muz is fearless. He didn’t even flinch while playing the game!
That and he solo-ed Dance Central for more than an hour *clapclap*

Anw at about 6am+, it was just me and Gerry left while the guys went to rest, so we ended up watching PrankvsPrank which was hilarious. Then someone sleeptalked HAHAHA. About the light not being turned off. What light, we asked (there weren’t any other than the one from the PC which was away from him). Camera lights. Found footage films, anyone? 😉

Everyone had really funny… feedback.
Names hidden to protect the guilty, myself included 😛

“Did you all sleep?” “No, I was so cold…” “I was so scared…”
“I am not ‘children’ right?? Cos they said the Slenderman only comes for children.”
“Omg what was that did you hear?” “I think it’s just the dog.” “I’m still scared!!”
“Don’t dare put my legs outside the mattress in case something drags me away.”
“But I heard a scratching sound against the door just now.” “That was Mark’s dog.”
“Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck this shit.”
“Never again.”

Then we watched the first scene of The Dark Knight (where Joker robs the bank) on BluRay and went home at 9am+. Perfect timing for me to go look for my mom at the market, have brunch and do some grocery-shopping 🙂 I have missed that.

This is the first marathon where I have watched so many movies at one go (with loads of eating, Dance Central, Street Fighter, Slender in between), first one that’s horror-themed, first one with so many people. So if it’s not a thrilling and unique experience, I don’t know what it is 😀

READY FOR ROUND 2!!!!!
(Am actually excited to see the last 2 REC films)
