[fool of myself]

I almost made a fool outta myself ytd at my Jpn class. Last week's homework was to find an interesting phrase which children and adult will know. Being lazy I decided to leave this until the following Fri. Initially, I knew all along to think of one idiom or phrase but somehow this got really smudged and dillusioned.

On Fri in my office, I did my homework. Instead of using idioms or phrases, I used Hokkien phrases instead, no its not something vulgar. I wrote 3 Hokkien phrases in fact.

[1] Chin Chye la ! = 何でもいいです
[2] Lim Peh　＝　あなたの親父
[3] Ho Seh Boh!　＝元気か？

During the lesson, as they are asked to go up to write on the whiteboard, i realise my classmates were all using idioms mainly Chinese idioms, one Malay idiom and one in Cantonese. I panicked as what I wrote were not even idioms! They are some hokkien casual phrases. ahahhahahaha..anyway i thought of using "Yin Shui Xi Yuan" but i cld not explain it well enough.

Met up wif an old friend to watch Howl's Moving Castle. Since he was doing some photoshoot for his products, I went to meet him at The Art House. Later we went to Suntec hoping to buy the tickets. Suntec ytd was jam packed with 40% of Singaporeans there. It was unbelievably packed!! We made a long way to the cinemas and we saw this whole stretch of people streaming from somewhere. This stretch went all the way to the 2 or 3 shop outside the cinemas. Its only when we went up, then we realised it was frm the ticketing booths!

Irked by the whole line of humans. We turned back to decide another location for this movie. As somehow i cld not get my GPRS to log into e-ideas, we managed to borrow a newspaper from the information counter to check for cinemas showing this movie. We ended up to Sun Plaza to catch the 9.30pm slot. The movie was good and the meticulous water coloured backgrounds and buildings are astonshing and seem almost humanly impossible. There was sososo much detail in some scenes even when this scene is only 1 to 2 seconds of screen time. Some of the characters were interesting, like this dog which sounded like its having asthma.

Before watching the show, we had dinner at sunplaza food court. I ate healthy ban mian, one fruit juice and 2 otahs which were so spicy it really burnt my guts.

The movie lasted abt 2 hours. I did not really catch the movie that well becos i was tired after a bz day in office, 3 hrs of jpn lesson...

I have decided not to buy the expensive 1.8K 20 inch Apple Cinema Display. Its not that I cannot afford it but I dun see a need to have a looming 20" lcd on my desk. Its not like I am doing some serious video editing or graphics stuff on it. I know how good it is...but 1.8K is too much for a display right? Apple is not selling its 17" anymore. Anyway I got my answer on DVI-I and DVI-D receptacles and connectors which i was paranoid abt compatibility issues.

Viewsonic here I come!
