Today was the launch of new releases again. Decided to do all 3 classes at Suntec which is Attack, Pump and Combat. I think I over-estimated myself and thought that I can do it. I was so wrong.
First Class: Attack. I had not do Attack for so long and I forgot that it was so much fun to do! However at the end of the class, I was tired already. Hee...
Second Class: Pump. Decided to take less weights and go through the class. Clever idea by myself as I am still doign fine after the class.
Last Class: Combat. First time doing the release and I do not like any of the songs doing the track only once. Hope that they will grow on me. It was quite a simple release but I think I do not have much energy left at the end of it.
I think I need to do more classes to build up my stamina or I am just getting older already. Hee...

Launch of Body Combat 37 and Body Pump 67
Today was the Launch of the Body Combat 37 and Body Pump 67! Not really new releases as I think we are one of the last gym to release it. Hee... Decided to stay far far away from Suntec due to F1 race, therefore head towards Parkway Parade instead.
This is my first time in at Parkway Parade gym. I am quite impressed with the gym, big and spacious. Maybe I should be here more often. Hee...
Well back to the new releases.
I quite like Combat 37, even though I find the music is a bit boring but the moves definitely makes up for it. Halfway through the tracks, I am already tried. Hee... This might be due to me only doing combat once a week. This release is really quite challenging and definitely will be quite challenging for those who just took up combat as well. Looking forward to do it a few more time if time permits and think will get to see a number of tracks being reused when the instructors mixed up the tracks. I had fun with it!
For Pump 67, I was surprised by the warm up track using Bleeding Love. Hmm other than this, I really find this release much the same as the other pump releases as well. At least the music still rocks for this release. Hee...
After attending the two classes, I am so tired that I went home straight to sleep. Hee...
I miss gym so much.

Mega Combat and Gym Politics
Last sat was PF's Mega Combat. Well only managed to attend half of it since we got to get ready for Gary Cao's concert after it. Hee... This is my second year doing it. I do not know why but I do not enjoyed doing it. Just find it boring doing it. Do not think I will be doing it next year. Cannot imagine the queue for the distribution of the T-shirt. OMG! People are really so kaisu leh. Still managed to got mine, when there is no queue.
One thing in gym, when I go attend the classes, I would prefer to go for the classes which are taught by the instructors I prefer but I do not go to extreme where I would check everyday if that instructor will not be teaching that day class due to something. I will still attend the class.
There are also groups of ppl who will only attend the instructors they attend and become like groupies. these are the people usually standing in the front and would have stay back to talk to the instructors. Of course they had big influence as they usually will be the ones to request for tracks in classes. Of course there will be different groups for the same instructors and each group will try to do their best to get the instructor's attention like helping them to set up, keep the equipment. There are even people who will go to different gyms in a day to attend the classes conducted by the same instructors. Even at Mega Combat, the whole gang would have stand in front of the platform where that particular instructor is standing. OMG!
Recently heard that one of the trainee instructors, gena complained by one of the lao jiaos during the class. So the poor trainee do not even have the chance to cover the class now and at the same time she also did not attend that particular instructor class any more. Poor thing. Well wish her all the best!
I just go gym so that I can work out at the same time to relief some stress. I do not go gym to add more stress to my life! I also got enough politics to handle in office already. I do not need any more at the gym.
To those people, please get a life outside gym.

Body Combat 36
After one week since the release of Body Combat 36, and I had only done it thrice. I just really find it really tiring every time I finish one session. Maybe my stamina had dropped. Hee...
Back to this release, other than the warm up track and the track four. Other than this, I dun really find myself enjoying this new release. I find this new release a bit too taxing on the legs. There isn't any particular songs that stood out as well. Hee...
Still it was a pretty good workout. There is something that I do not understand, how can someone (other than instructors) can do the same 10 tracks within 3 hours. Get a life man!

Tired now!
Within the past 24 hrs, I have done 2 classes of body pump and 3 classes of body combat. By the time, I was doing the last class, I was already pretty tired. Well it has been a long time since I have done that. Hee... Getting slacker alr. However, it was fun and felt good after doing all the classes.
Y m I doing so many classes? Cos I am more busy with work and going to travel more, means less time for gym, so I am doing more at a time. Another reason is I am going for a wedding dinner later as well! Hee... More good food! Hee...
I am feeling so tired now!

A dancing bear!
The weekend was super tiring for this Polarbear.
It started off on Friday where he went gym and did Body Pump and Step. It has been a very long time since he did Step, but managed to do the whole routine without any major problems. Wahahahaha! Time to do more Step classes!
Saturday, woke up early to catch one of the Singapore Film Festival movies, Lucky 7 @ National Museum. This experimental film has 7 directors in it, where each of them shot 10 -12 mins of the film, after having watched the last min of work by the last director. The only catch is they have to use the same main actor. Well to me, this movie started off pretty well, but then lost focus in between as each different director tried to tackle different issues but not giving any thoughts to the storyline. Good effort for them.
After which, went to gym to do the last "mixed track" before the launch of the new Body Combat 35 on Sunday. Went home after that cos going clubbing at night! Yeah!
Met up with Claudia, Rayner, Jonathan, Christine and Doris at UE Square, En Japanese Dining Bar, for dinner. (Look out for the review). Yebber people is my new group of Makan kakis. Every meal with them is fun with endless topics as well. The only bad thing is before one dinner is over, we started planning like the next 3 dinners already. Wahahahaha.
Next is the event hat we had been talking for long but yet to be carried out, in the end only 4 people went clubbing! To me, Dbl O is a place where only NS men and girls hang out. Reason being the drinks there are dirt cheap @ $12 per jug! However I think I am wrong, there are a lot of youths (aged 35 and below) there as well. Wahahaha. They still have the bar and the disco area separated, which is good, as when tired can jz walked to the "quiet" area for a while.
In the end, in the castle of Dbl O, there lived a dancing queen, king and prince. Go guess who is the king and queen. What I can say is, I am the prince ok! Wahahahaha! It was retro night but sort of started off a bit late. However, we had fun for nearly 3 hours on the dance floor before we called it a day! Totally crazy!
Slept at 4 plus am but woke up at 8am to go for the launch of Body Combat 35. Well have to say the tracks are not bad but I think will take sometime to get used to it. Do like the Hairspray track though. The conditioning track is also a killer as well. Well good or not good, still going to do it for the next 2 weeks before they mixed the tracks again.
After which, rushed to St Regis. YES! The 6-star hotel for dim sum @ Yan Ting. Thks to someone's recommendation. Even before we pay the cab driver, the doors of the cab were already open by the zealous doorman. Once inside, we were awed by the 1930s European decoration. Even the lift is carpeted with a bench inside some more. Wow! More about the lunch in the review. Hee....
I ended my weekend activities there and went home and rest for the night. Totally shagged out!

Weekend that zipped past!
This weekend nothing much happen less the IT Show (I will cover it in another post), meet up with the guys and of cos gym (Boring!).
Saturday after gym, met up with my closest group of friends. Hee... not a very big group. Glad that we all still made time to meet up and catch up with each other.
Met at Bugis and landed up at Seafood Harvest for dinner. Bad choice!
Last minute decided to catch Meet the Spartans @ PS.
The movie is a spoof mainly from the movie 300, other movies and a series of TV Show (American Idol, Deal or no Deal, etc)and even what appeared on news also being spoofed. With the director and writers who used to come out with Date movie and Scary movie series well, can expect what kind of crap that came out. Hee...
There is only one word for this movie, LAME! Sad to say it is not funny for like 80% of the time. *Yawn* Still it is good to spend time watching such movies to relax and not to think too much. Hee... Erhh... Overall I give this movie 1 star out of 5, as the actors did take time to shape up like the actual Spartans. Haa...
Sunday after gym, I went to catch "There will be Blood" alone. Thought that no one will be watching such movie but I was so wrong, as I managed to get ticket 3rd row from the front like 10 mins before the movie started.
A sprawling epic of family, faith, power and oil, "There Will Be Blood" is set on the incendiary frontier of California's turn-of-the-century petroleum boom. The story chronicles the life and times of one Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), who transforms himself from a down-and-out silver miner raising a son on his own into a self-made oil tycoon.
When Plainview gets a mysterious tip-off that there's a little town out West where an ocean of oil is oozing out of the ground, he heads with his son, H.W. (Dillon Freasier), to take their chances in dust-worn Little Boston. In this hardscrabble town, where the main excitement centers around the holy roller church of charismatic preacher Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), Plainview and H.W. make their lucky strike. But even as the well raises all of their fortunes, nothing will remain the same as conflicts escalate and every human value – love, hope, community, belief, ambition and even the bond between father and son – is imperiled by corruption, deception and the flow of oil.
This movie is a long movie @ 2 hrs and 38 mins, it felt longer than that. First, I have to say that this movie is all about Daniel Day-Lewis, he totally deserves all the Best Actor award he received. The movie shows the like as a oil dealer and digger as well. The danger they faced at work and how they looked for oil. This movie also dealt with the topic of religion. The guys who acted as the preacher is actually also quite good, why he was not nominated as well? Hmm.... Overall, I love the way that they shot the movie, totally took my breath away. I give this movie 4.5 stars out of 5.
After the movie, rushed down to Suntec to meet my mum and sis for the IT Fair, had dinner and went home. Finally, I got to rest! Before I knew it, the weekend was over already.

A back to gym weekend! Happy Birthday Siti!
This whole weekend, I am happy to say that I am going back to gym for my classes. Back to my normal routine. Hee... Going back to do pump and combat does take more effort as I had not been doing it regularly.
I also watched 2 movies on Saturday as well. Both are Oscar nominated and therefore I make it a must to watch these films.
First movie is La Vie En Rose. Since the lead actress won the Best Actress, it makes me wonder if she can really win Ellen Page of Juno.
The movie is about the life of Edith Piaf’s life. From the slums of Paris to the limelight of New York, Edith Piaf’s life was a battle to sing and survive, live and love. Raised in poverty, Edith’s magical voice and her passionate romances and friendships with the greatest names of the period - Marlene Dietrich, Yves Montand and others- made her a star all around the world. The true story of her incredible destiny opens a window onto the artist’s soul and into a woman’s heart.
This movie moves forward and backward of her life from childhood to her death. Have to say that the lead actress, Marion Cotillard, really deserved the win. She is really good from all the little small habits to her singing. I am totally impressed by her performance. Overall, I give this movie 4 stars out of 5.
The next movie is No Country for Old Men. This movie is nominated for 8 awards and won 4 awards.
The story begins when Llewelyn Moss (Brolin) finds a pickup truck surrounded by a sentry of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law - in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell (Jones) - can contain. As Moss tries to evade his pursuers - in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives (Bardem) - the film simultaneously strips down the American crime drama and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning's headlines.
For the whole movie, it got comedy hidden inside the horror story. Have to say that the directors are really good to make this dark theme film. The murderer is really good and Javier Bardem really deserves the Best Supporting Actor. he is really scary in the movie and as heartless as well. The story line need some thinking to understand what is going on and with the movie ending abrupt, it did surprised most of the movie goers. The movie is exciting at moments yet got comedy hidden here and there. The acting by the main cast are solid! Overall, I give this movie 4.5 stars out of 5. Think I will go and read the book to understand the plot better.
Watched 2 "got a lot of depth" movies really took a toll on me. Tired!
On Sunday, as usual went to gym, then met with Siti and rest of the mentors to celebrate her birthday! Went KTV to celebrate her birthday. Hope you like your present ok! After which, rushed to airport to send LLT's parents off to BKK and at the same time to eat Popeyes Chicken And Biscuits' Gallery. Ate it 2 times in a day! Hee... Totally wonderful.
The weekend yet went past in a flash. So looking forward to my BKK at the end of this month!

Dunno y I am so tired today?
Maybe it is the gloomy weather.
Today had one whole day to myself. Hee... So early in the morning, dragged my lazy ass to the gym for pump and combat. I totally enjoyed myself in the class today. Funny enough, I managed to do it without any breakfast.
After which, walked over to the travel agency in the rain, to collect the air tickets and hotel vouchor for the holiday. The trip is confirmed!
With the gloomy weather, it is a very good time to sleep. That is what I did! Wahahaha.... Woke up in time for dinner and with an aching body! OMG!
Well that sums up my boring yet tired Sunday!
Yesterday, found out another of my fav, Ah Kun, increased their prices again! From $3.90 they increased to $4.20 now. Sigh... Think I have to cut down on that as well. So sad! Hope that Toastbox dun increases their price!
3 more days to CNY!

Boring Sat, Funny Sun
Boring Sat, Funny Sun
Sat was boring, only spend a very long time at Suntec doing nothing. Sigh...
Oh yah, one thing did happened, went to buy a new phone for my mum at a Starhub road show. Then when I reached home, I saw a Starhub letter. When I open the letter, i saw a voucher of $100 from them, for me to spend on a new phone. WTF? The contract for the phone was over since Oct last yr and it took them 3 mths to send me the voucher. Out of all days, it arrived the day I paid for a new phone and recontracted. Sigh....
*Update*
28 Jan:I have called up Starhub to state my displeasure. Now awaiting for them to get back to me to see what they had to offered.
31 Jan: Someone from Starhub jz called me up during lunch. What a time to call! Give me all the motherhood reasons why they took so long to give me voucher. Blah Blah Blah... In the end they offering me free caller id but I forgot to 6 mths or for 12 mths alr. Sigh... This is the best they can do!
Sunday was more interesting! Haa... Went swimming again in the morning! This time round, there is sun but it keeping hiding behind the clouds. I still managed to do 30 laps. Hee... Getting darker by the min!
After which, we met up with Bobo @ National Library to watch "Chesty Nutty Bang Bang: The Hairspray of the Phoenix", the latest Chestnut show!
This year, there are new additions in the cast. However this does not mean new sparks. A bit disappointed by that. I like the Pondon skit and the 88251 skit with the hokkien version of Umbrella. This year I have watched most of them stuff that they have spoofed so it is easier to understand. Haa.... Do find that this year show is not as funny as last year maybe cos last year was a compilation of those last 10 yrs shows. Hee.... However I will still catch it next year!
After which, met up with FZ and went for a teochew restaurant for dinner. It was quite good and got a homely feeling to it. The food is up to standard, we did not order a lot, braised goose, steam fish, a vegetable dish, prawn roll and yam paste. This place will be good for those people who like traditional teo chew food would be happy with the food there!
After which, a last min decision, we headed for KTV session. Totally crazy! It was a fun outing; we should really do all these more often. Wahaha....

31 Jan: Someone from Starhub jz called me up during lunch. What a time to call! Give me all the motherhood reasons why they took so long to give me voucher. Blah Blah Blah... In the end they offering me free caller id but I forgot to 6 mths or for 12 mths alr. Sigh... This is the best they can do!
Sunday was more interesting! Haa... Went swimming again in the morning! This time round, there is sun but it keeping hiding behind the clouds. I still managed to do 30 laps. Hee... Getting darker by the min!
After which, we met up with Bobo @ National Library to watch "Chesty Nutty Bang Bang: The Hairspray of the Phoenix", the latest Chestnut show!
This year, there are new additions in the cast. However this does not mean new sparks. A bit disappointed by that. I like the Pondon skit and the 88251 skit with the hokkien version of Umbrella. This year I have watched most of them stuff that they have spoofed so it is easier to understand. Haa.... Do find that this year show is not as funny as last year maybe cos last year was a compilation of those last 10 yrs shows. Hee.... However I will still catch it next year!
After which, met up with FZ and went for a teochew restaurant for dinner. It was quite good and got a homely feeling to it. The food is up to standard, we did not order a lot, braised goose, steam fish, a vegetable dish, prawn roll and yam paste. This place will be good for those people who like traditional teo chew food would be happy with the food there!
After which, a last min decision, we headed for KTV session. Totally crazy! It was a fun outing; we should really do all these more often. Wahaha....

A working hard weekend!
A working hard weekend!
The weekend started off with a series of gym sessions. Haa.. Totally crazy to go for Combat Pump Combat and to think that I actually increased my pump weight. Haa... The instructors are also in crazy mode but then it jz felt good after the whole thing. Hee....
After which, walked ard to try to do some shopping, nothing much to buy though. CNY coming yet no mood to find new clothes.
Decided to watch a movie since AWARDS time are coming and all the good movies are coming out at the same time as well. So decided to watch Micheal Clayton.
The movie was about Michael Clayton (George Clooney) is an in-house “fixer” at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York. A former criminal prosecutor, Clayton takes care of dirtiest work at the behest of the firm’s co-founder. Though burned out and hardly content with his job as a fixer, a failed business venture and mounting debt have left Clayton tied to the firm.
At U/North, the career of litigator Karen Crowder (Tilda Swinton) rests on the multi-million dollar settlement of a class action suit that Clayton’s firm is leading to a seemingly successful conclusion, for a long 6 yrs. When Kenner Bach’s brilliant and guilt-ridden attorney Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson) sabotages the U/North case, Clayton faces the biggest challenge of his career and his life.
It is a 2 hour thriller, interesting but someone was sleeping me at times. So tired hor. Haa.... It shows the ending first then goes back to the start of everything. This is one of George Clooney's best role! Have to give him credit for it as well. Overall I give this film 3 stars out of 5.
Sunday went back gym for anther session of pump and combat and then we are back to KM8 to chill out and suntan. The sun was out on full force. So happy! Hee... I really should do this more often! I need to get darker! Should I bring Oscar out as well? Hmm.... So many big dogs there leh! I think he will go crazy lo.
I am sure I am going to ache like nobody else business 2molo. Haa...

Long time no exercise liao!
Long time no exercise liao!
For the past week had been slacking from the wedding dinner to holiday and parties that I have no time to go and gym. Sigh....
So went for pump and combat. OMG! 2 hours back to back is really siong today. Haa.... Hmm... come to think of it when was the last time I did that? Haa... Well have been eating good things, think I really need to work hard to get rid of the spare tyre. Hee....
Before gym today, manged to drag my lazy ass out for an early movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks.
To say the truth, I dun have a good impression of this movie poster as I find the chipmunks very fake. I was really sick of the songs that they were singing on high pitched when I was waiting for the movie to start.
However after watching the movie, I have to say that I was impressed. The movie was about how they were discovered and become superstars while some domestic issues happen between them and Dave, their "dad". It is pretty entertaining but still this does not mean I approve of buying their soundtrack. Haa... Overall I give this movie 3 stars out of 5 for great CGI of the chipmunks.
After which, while someone was enjoying at Fish Leong's concert, I was enjoying a family dinner @ Paramount Hotel. BUFFET! Eating myself silly, it has been a long time since I do this. Cool! Forgetting about the afternoon session of gym alr. Haa... I now sort of regretted about it. Seems like to work 5 times harder from now onwards. Haa....

Spin
Spin
I was "dragged" to this Spin I class today. Well, we always wanted to give it a try but did not find the right class or time to do it.
Before I start, I was thinking how siong can it be, by cycling on a bicycle. Erhh... FYI, Polarbear dunno how to ride a bike. Haa....
5 mins into the class, OMG! I was so wrong! My legs are simple aching alr. Haa.... Super siong man! Then we have to go uphill and downhill, butt off the seat and butt on the seat. Driving me crazy man! Haa.... I think it is more siong than running lo. haa...
However I find the class fun, maybe can give it more tries to get used to it.
So spin class here i come!
Have to thks grace for introducing the class to us. Haa...

New release of Body Combat and Pump
New release of Body Combat and Pump
This week marks the new releases of both Combat and Pump.
Went for the launch and found that Combat is more challenging with all the combinations and I am getting used to it. A lot of kicks in this release. Haa... Loved the Rihanna track!
For pump, nothing much expect the combination of 2 count up and down followed by 2 singles. Still pretty much the same. The tracks are also pretty good.
Going to do this for the next 2 weeks. Going to have a lot of fun with it.

Back to normal life! Lust Caution!
Back to normal life! Lust Caution!
Back to my normal life mean back to eat, sleep and gym. Haa....
Yes yes! I still remember that I still got a 10km run coming up. Haa...
After slacking at home for one whole day, I spent the whole afternoon in gym going for 3 hours of classes. Hee... By the end of it, my legs are so tired. Haa....
After which, decided to watch the hottest movie in town "Lust Caution" by Lee Ang. Haa... I decided to bring an open mind to watch this show. Hee....
The movie is about a girl doing spy work, trying to kill a traitor. Simple story but the director had managed to squeeze all the small little details out.
I did not watch the censored version earlier, hoping that they will release the full version out which they did. The sex scenes are really important to the movie as the director uses it to show the true feelings between the male and the female lead.
Talking abt the lead, the female lead, Tang Wei, I think she is going to be the next Zhang Ziyi. She put on a brilliant show and this is her first movie only. The male lead of course my fav Tony Leung. He is at his best. Think he will sweep all Best Actor awards again. Hope that he can be nominated at the Oscar as well. Well he bared too much to lose anything also. Haa....
The director, Lee Ang, have to say that this is his best work till now, even better than Brokeback Mountain, which won him his Oscar. Think this one will bring him to greater heights! I really wonder y he did the cuts for the censored version. It is really doing injustice to his own show.
Overall, I give this move 5 stars out of 5.

Back to Gym!
Back to Gym!
These 2 weeks had not been going back to gym as I had lots of time to go to the gym in camp. Haa...
So after ICT, I started to go back and do my fav combat and pump. Even though the new release for both was out for sometime, I had only done it like once or twice only. Haa...
For the past sat and sun, had been to both classes, 2 times each. Now feeling the strain on my muscles, aching... Hee... Feeling a bit retard during combat as well, the usual, always confused between right and left. Haa....
Time to go back to my normal gym routine and of course my running routine as well. Yes! I had been running! Haa...

Relaxing weekend
Relaxing weekend
This past weekend is good and almost relaxing... Hee... I liked!
Started off with watching movies! Yes a movie buff like me had not watch a movies for the past 1 week and seems that something is missing out from my life! So what we watched? Die Hard 4.0!
Reasons of me watching this movie is not becos
1. I am a big action movie fan
2. I am Bruce Willis fan
3. I am a Die Hard series fan
Nope! Not the above! There is only 1 reason why I watched the movie and it is because of Maggie Q. Haa... She is so HOT in the movie as int he way she walks and fights in the movie. However I am sad the way she died, so ...unglam! Hmm...
Well the movie is about a police detective ,John McClane, found himself yet again embroiled in a cyberspace terrorist attack. The whole fighting scenes and the highways chases are very cool! I like it! Haa... Overall I will give the movie 3.75 out of 5 stars. After all, have to give credit to Bruce Willis to do this movie at an age of 52 (I think). Haa...
On Sat, the day started off with of cos Harry Potter, then it was also a day to sentosa with my dog and I managed to have my family there as well. Free entrance as it was my company family day. Supposed to start off at 7.30am in the morning, but then we only reached there by noon. Even the grand lucky draw was over. Haa...
Everywhere was people and plus it was drizzling so I decided to hang out at Sakae Sushi for lunch then move off to KM8 to chill out! Haa.... Even my mum like KM8! Haa... Plus that the weather there was cool and cloudy.
Oscar had a fun time as well, swimming quite a lot with me dragging him off into the sea. Could not unleash him as there are some big dogs around and Oscar being a bit aggressive, always getting into fight with others. Sigh... Need to train him up on that. After which, went home and slacked at home. It was a time well spent with my family especially it had been ages since we went out alr. Hee.... Especially my poor Oscar!
Sunday spent at gym and reading Harry Potter. Hee....
KM8 proves to be a good place to hang out! I think I will be there more often now. At least once a month right? Hee... Anyone wanna to join me?

Mega Combat and a Lonely Day
Mega Combat and a Lonely Day
Yesterday is one of the lonely day that I had to spent alone. So boring!
Yesterday is sort of gym day as the whole day was spent there. Hee... See... boring rite? Well had signed up for Mega Combat today and since I had alr signed up and got nothing to do, might as well go for it. Hee...
Before that I had decided to go for Body Pump since the day before I did not go for any gym session at all cos of the concert! Hee....
After which, I went for a swim and thought that it will be able to waste around 3 hours at the pool. The pool was split into half, with the other half was used for some teaching session. It is so fun to see that they actually conducted baby swimming lessons. So all the parents got to go down and swim with their babies. Hee... Glad to see that most of the dad are accompanying their babies to swim. it was so cute to see them. Hee.... Next time maybe can join the class with my kid as well. Hee...
Well then after 1 hour, I decided to stop swimming and spent the rest fo the time relaxing at Coffee Bean. Hee...
Mega Combat was held at the Fountain of Wealth @ Suntec City. Hmm... Even though the turnout was ok, but the organisation was quite bad as in terms of lousy PA (Hmm... di not do enough testing in the 1st place), wrong music played (DJ lousy?), music too soft unable to hear the instructions (testing fault again?), so therefore due to all the faults, there is a lot of breaks in between. All in all, the event was average lah. Haa... Got a free singlet and a goodie bag. Hee... I managed to get a shower before the crowd come in and leave the gym. Hee...
For the rest of the weekend was spent rotting at home less met up with SP for an overdue lunch on Sunday. Hee... Luckily the weekend is save by Jacky Cheung's Concert! Hee...
Someone is coming back soon!
