Dinner at IKEA

Still awesome

Yum


Met R for dinner at IKEA. It's been really some time since I ate in IKEA and the standards are still as good.

Domino



This was during a training session and could be learnt within 10 mins. What's more important were the lessons of persistence, teamwork and learning from mistakes.

Cousin's gathering

Another gathering at Ssikek bbq buffet. Really sinful and it's something I must cut out. Nonetheless, it's fun meeting up with my cousins.

Movie: Brave

Plot:
Set in mystical Ireland, Brave tells the story of a girl who wanted to change her fate but fate has other things installed for her.

Review:
It's hard to find faults with Pixar's offerings and that is true for Brave. Emotional tale in an amazing setting with extremely cute characters. I was sold. The only misgiving I had was the quick ending. Nothing damaging but could be better.

Rating:
4/5

Movie: The Bourne Legacy

Plot:
Jason Bourne was only a part of the whole picture. In Bourne Legacy, we are introduced to Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) as he survives the extermination of the program.

Review:
While I have no qualms of another character kicking off a new storyline, it is difficult to establish a solid character development. This might be the reason for the initial drag. Sure enough, the story picked up with all the chases. I wished there were more excitement though but nope. Even at the ending, there were too many threads hanging.

Rating:
3/5

First week of work

Can't believe that it was already a week since I started work. I suppose that is life, zooming past. Work had been pretty okay but I am trying hard not to fall asleep. Colleagues were friendly but I have yet to meet all of them. The current aims are to brush up on my skills (I don't want to be a liability) and to get used to a working life.

Happy Bday Singapore



It's been a really long time since I watched a live NDP parade and I have to admit the experience was totally different. So, thank you J for the ticket. This year's performance was short but nothing short of spectacular. Sure enough, fireworks were abundant and spirits were high.
