Raining Saturday

Oh No! It looks like it would be raining today. I made plans for a quick photowalk in town, with a busy week lined up for next week and weekend. So, hopefully the rain would let up later today, and I'd be able to snap some photos.

Friday Night Outing

As usual, we would have an outing on Friday night. Even though I have to work tomorrow. But at least, I won't be on call.

We headed to The Curve, and the place was crowded despite there being a light drizzle outside. It ha been raining in the late afternoon, but that didn't deter people coming in.

A quick drive while they were thereWhere to have dinner? Irfan wanted Bubba Gump. Idlan wanted Marche. Mum and Dad wanted Apartments. Irfan won. And Bubba Gump was right crowded tonight with a couple of parties going on.

We shall have the customary stroll after dinner. Maybe a quick walk into IKEA perhaps. The boys wont be impressed. As for now, it was time to watch Forrest Gump on the television. That's all they showed in here.

Cowboys and Aliens

It received plenty of hype when it was launched last year. Judging from the line-up of stars - with Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig at the fore-front - I was expecting a lot. To add to that, the director was Jon Favreau, and screenplay by Roberto Orci, I was imagining that this was going to be a fantastic ride.

Unfortunately, there were not much of that, and towards the end, the movie was somewhat predictable, with the character arc not really being stretched and both Ford and Craig not been given enough meet to sink their teeth into in terms of plot development and acting.

It was in the end rather bland and found wanting. That was the best I can come up to describe the disappointment that was "Cowboys and Aliens". The movie could have offered us so much more ……

Mid-Life Crisis?

Not only that I managed to compile the Singapore links into one coherent group, I revamped the whole page as well. Instead of dark theme which I favor, everything now becomes much lighter. It may have caused havoc with my previous posts in terms of alignment, but I would be working on that. Otherwise, everything was working perfectly - the beauty of Squarespace I supposed. The chance of theme was just a click away ….

I'll keep this new theme for the next few days and see what comes of it. Some of my photos tended to come up better with a dark background. But maybe some of the other would turn up better instead. Well, why not have a change. The last theme has been up for the last 18 months. My wife must be wondering if I am going through a mid-life crisis!

Anyhow, all the links for Singapore are now up and running. Even the slideshows onto the sister photography blog were also linked up. I still have a few entry on the trips needing to be written, but I am sure I would get them done by the weekend. I'll make do with what I have at the moment.

Idiot Outrider!

After the long drive in this morning, I though I deserved a treat. Decided to head out for sushi after the last patient on my morning list. I was hungry anyway and the drive in this morning was horrible.

I didn't mind the queue at all. What got on my nerve was when the outriders came around with a VIP in an entourage and started telling people to push off. The policeman also got the cheeks to kick out at a kancil who could not move away due to the long jam. Such irresponsibility.

I wished that I have the number of the Policeman and tweet it off but they took a left turn out of DUKE after I left towards the NKVE toll. Such action was really uncalled for! Idiots!
