Chingay 09

chingay!


what is chingay without these giant flags right?


i think they borrowed the costumes from 满城尽带黄金甲... hahaha






ok.. this is a very bad river ang bao. firstly, it only open from 6pm to 12am. wtf! i think every year i visit in the afternoon or evening one... at night people have to go 拜年 one lor...
then around 1130pm, they start to off the lights! wtf again! and the "security" idiots are still letting people in! brainless singaporeans... and so the lights went off, spoil people's mood, then as people slowly walk out, then around 1145pm come the announcement on the PA system "... we will be turning off the lights soon.." or something like that. *faint* no eyes to see ah? lights already off liao can....

seriously, i was inside tokyo disneyland 1 hour after closing time, still can slowly stroll out, and the staffs are already packing up their things and locking up, but they still smile and wave and say bye bye when u walk pass.
in singapore leh? 30min before official closing time, and the kakia and supervisor already off the lights without announcement and chasing people off.. RUDELY! *shake head* i dont know what kind of uniquely singapore experience singaporeans will give to tourists when our IRs open... maybe they should just sack all the singaporeans customer facing staff and employ japanese lah.

Chinatown walk walk

Happy 牛 Year!!!!


went chinatown to shop for deco...


time of the year for goodies!!!

古惑仔

this is something i wanted to do for very long liao.. to collect the whole series in DVD.. today saw a place that sell a few, so start buying. lol. cos this one very hard to find liao, so old already.. somemore i want DVD, don't want VCD, even harder to find...

this is one of my FAVOURITE movies ok!

so now the list (and outstanding list) is:

• 人在江湖


• 猛龙过江


• 只手遮天


• 战无不胜


• 龙争虎斗


• 洪興十三妹


• 少年激鬥篇


• 洪興大飛哥


• 山雞故事


• 者王


• 九龍冰室

wa... still got so many more to collect... some i didn't even see before! i think didn't even show in sg somemore... i think maybe very hard to get ah... :(

actually i heard hong kong got a box set one. all the movies together, sell as a set. definately cheaper than buying one by one....

anyone got lobang? lol

Chinese New Yea @ Marina Square

omg.... i seem to have seen this somewhere before.... 经济 is really bad now...

R/C Comfort Taxi

spotted at toys r us.... comfort taxi radio control car....

omg! who would want to buy for their children??!! who want their children to say "when i grow up, i want to be a comfort taxi driver"??!!

can you imagine the children singing "i don't wanna grow up, i'm a toys r us kid. but if i really grow up, i want to drive a comfort cab...."

somemore not cheap.. for that price, i can buy a good quality japanese drift r/c car, smaller and nicer looking somemore..
