Accuracy of Death





Thanks to Peiyun, I had the chance to catch a preview of Accuracy of Death, starring Takeshi Kaneshiro on Tuesday. I mean, there's no reason to watch it right?! As long as it is him, no questions asked. Haha. Anyway, at first I thought this would be some morbid movie. Just look at the title - Accuracy of Death. What can you say about that? Well, the movie of course deals with death but it was peppered with some light humour and yes, there were some parts that you just burst out laughing. There were three stories adapted in the movie. They occurred at different times but when you came to the end of the show, you realise that all of them are connected. Needless to say, I enjoyed the movie, drooled over Takeshi Kaneshiro and the OST is nice as well!

I just want a holiday!

I just want to go on a holiday!

It has been a good seven, almost eight months since I went for a trip and I desperately want to go on a holiday. Friends around me know that I have been ranting about going on a holiday since end March and up 'til now, nothing is happening because of various situations. I mean, I just want to go on a holiday, why does it have to be so difficult?

First of all, I planned a trip to Hongkong with Joshua which was suppose to take place last week. Eventually, it was shot down by my mum who refused to allow me to go on a holiday with Joshua. Because she says we are not married so why should we go on a holiday together?! In other words, she is conservative or she just doesn't trust us. Ok, whatever, so we didn't make the trip.

Anyway, what got me boiling was today.

My godmother mentioned about going for a short trip to Bangkok. No doubt, I was keen. Then she said she had to check her daughter's schedule. Fine. I just don't understand why two, or rather three working adults have to adhere to a teenager's schedule. It just doesn't make sense to me. To cut the long story short, my godmother did a booking for a 4D3N trip to Bangkok today without informing me. She only smsed me after she made the reservations. Worse still was that she did not even give me any details of the trip until I called her. What happens is that I will leave Singapore on Saturday night at 9pm and come home on Tuesday afternoon. What the fish?! That means I only have two full days in Bangkok! Fine. Two full days, so be it. The worse thing was that I have to pay $510 for this trip, exclusive of insurance.

I am not going to pay $510 for such a trip! It is daylight robbery. It is more expensive than if I take Jetstar and stay in a three star hotel for four nights. It just doesn't make economical sense to me. I have the finances but I do not want to spend my money in such a manner. I don't need a four star hotel or breakfast. I can stay in a budget hotel and find my own breakfast. I want to spend my money wisely and why should I adhere to a teenager's schedule?!

I was absolutely outraged. I am not going. Full stop.

Stoned.

I have only one word to describe how these three weekends have been - tired.

Waking up early on both Saturdays and Sundays, no sleeping in at all. I am sleep deprived. Seriously sleep deprived. I wish I could just take one day leave to sleep. Sleep and 'nua' at home. I don't even want to go out, switch off the computer and mobile phone and just let me be isolated. I wish I could do that. Ha. But I know it's hard. Tsk.

Anyway, I wore a pair of 10cm heels yesterday for a wedding. It was my tallest challenge so far. I had some difficulty walking initially and I was like "why did I buy this pair of shoes"?! I walk so slowly for fear of spraining my ankle and I was so worried about falling down. No wonder its my "special function" shoes, I will only wear it when the occasion calls for it. It's not for everyday use. I might just end up hurting myself. Sigh... You just got to pay the price for being vain!
