Bad decisions make good stories. And I always have a good story.

Sleepovers at 18 and 21

Had a sleepover at Ling Yue’s house with Clement few days back on Wednesday/Thursday. Let’s just say I’m utterly disappointed in myself. Times have changed and I’m not even kidding when I say age is catching up with me.

Let’s do a comparison to my last sleepover with friends aka the two times we were at Mark’s house during TEP, on August 27 and October 21 in 2012. (wow has it been that long?)

Sleepovers at 18 Sleepovers at 20
No problems staying up all night, refused to sleep First to surrender and K.O.
Only slept when I went home the next day Slept at 4am+ after a few hours there
 Finished 5 movies and played some games  Finished 1 and slept through the other 2
 Nothing extraordinary I think
 Only woke up more than 10 hours later
 It was 10am when I reached home
 It was 3pm when I woke up

We planned to have a BBQ at Ling Yue’s condo but didn’t manage to book a pit. So we downgraded by planning to have pizza except that nowhere has 24-hour delivery. So we downgraded again to McDonald’s plus chips and wine from NTUC hahaha.

Watched Hello Stranger which Clement said was nice but Ling Yue and I kept dissing it. I remain horribly unimpressed by most romantic comedies and this was no exception. The characters were so annoying and wishy-washy!

Wanted to see Pee Mak (which I loved because it made me both laugh and cry so hard) but couldn’t find it. Watched some videos and I was in stitches from laughing so hard because of how Ling Yue ripped everything apart.

Settled on another Thai rom-com called 30+ and On Sale after that. About 10 minutes in, I told everyone I was going to bed LOL. Clement and Ling Yue went on to watched My Sassy Girl (Korean version, which I loved as well) before they called it a night.

They took a photo of me and said I was all sprawled out like Patrick from Spongebob.

Okay I’m simply overworked because I’m sleeping too little as usual and I’ve been doing triple my usual workload this week. Plus I had alcohol this time. And I wasn’t watching anything scary to keep me up.

I don’t think I’ve fallen asleep in theatres this year yet ok!! Cos I don’t go as often as I used to so I only watch the ones I really want to see. But even when I do fall asleep, I’m pretty sure the movie is to blame for being boring. Not me!! Action movies with all the loud sound effects included i.e. Man of Shit.

Had lunch and dessert together before we parted ways. I guess it’s nice that we all live in the neighbourhood. And I’m glad we could do something like this together as a mid-week break since all of us are weekend workaholics.

Back on the subject of aging… I’m really not kidding!! I’m so easily tired nowadays, I’m getting fat, the conditions of my hair and skin feel like they are deteriorating everyday. If you noticed, I don’t even post or take selfies anymore -_-

But okay, it’s been a pretty good week with some good news even. All will be revealed in good time 😉 Sigh I’ll be working tmr while everyone else is watching NDP 🙁 Andre wanted to give me tickets T_T And did I just use 3 emoticons in 1 paragraph.


Delivery Man

Sponsored post

Attended a screening of Delivery Man with my brother on Dec 20, courtesy of Nuffnang! 🙂 Starring Vince Vaughn, Chris Pratt, and Cobie Smulders, it’s a comedy that’s a remake of Starbuck (2011). Out in local cinemas on 1 Jan!

“An affable underachiever finds out he’s fathered 533 children through anonymous donations to a fertility clinic 20 years ago. Now he must decide whether or not to come forward when 142 of them file a lawsuit to reveal his identity.”

Delivery Man

Normally, comedy is the last second genre (out of all the main ones) I’d watch (the last being animation) in theatres because I tend to find them unfunny and not worth the money. Even on a whole, I rarely watch movies that are purely comedy. So I wasn’t expecting much from Delivery Man.

Turned out it was actually pretty okay and there was genuine humour at some parts! Not crude-and-try-too-hard funny but the good kind so that was a definite plus. To be honest, I did fall asleep at some parts not because it was boring but because I came from a Christmas party and was slightly tipsy (lol), but whatever I did see, I liked.

Storyline was fresh and heartwarming, the characters were real and likeable, and it was an entertaining flick with some pretty good moments. Not Oscar material nor the kind critics would rave about, but it’s a feel-good movie for when you are in the mood for something light-hearted.

My rating: 6/10

Dinner at Aston’s afterwards ^^ Photos look different from my usual because I’ve stopped using my digicam ever since I got my S3 which died earlier that night. So I had to use my brother’s phone but the pictures turned out weird…

I know, I know, I have been blogging. I guess you can say I’ve pretty much given up on it for now because I have a lot of other things to do and a lot of stuff going on all the time. And when I’m not doing anything, all I want to do is read and watch movies. Super love Goodreads and IMDB! 😀

Just look at how many events I have yet to blog about, and they are the ones WITH photos -_- Not forgetting sub-folders… Don’t think I’ll ever finish. Don’t even know who still reads my blog anyway. One of the extensions on my blog needs fixing but I can’t be bothered so I no longer have a view counter nor do my entries get automatically shared on Facebook.

Can you believe it’s the second last day of the year already? This is insane!
