Spent last Saturday with Bruno, as usual. \u00a0I went over to his place and we caught a bus together to Sembawang\u00a0Hill Food Centre. \u00a0Unfortunately the kway chup stall had closed for the day, so he settled for laksa while I settled for an unassuming mixed veggie rice stall, which turned out to be quite delicious.<\/p>\n
Then we took another bus to Thomson where he grabbed his Bakery coffee, and we kinda just walked around Thomson Plaza a little (for the aircon) before heading to Bishan to catch the movie Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children. \u00a0I have to say, this is almost the first time I’ve watched “typical” Tim Burton movie. \u00a0The only other Tim Burton directed movie that I’ve watched was Planet of the Apes, which wasn’t quite “Tim Burton-ish”. \u00a0I resisted the urge to google for the movie plot and ending before the show, so this is the first time (in many years) that I went into the cinema with zero idea what I’m gonna watch. \u00a0And I have to say, the movie was quite nice! \u00a0Nice enough for me to rate it a 4.1 at least, out of 5. \u00a0Although it’s kinda like a “kid’s movie”, I still quite enjoyed it. \u00a0It was a little annoying to keep hearing someone snoring in the cinema though… there’s a Dad sitting next to Bruno who snored halfway through the movie. \u00a0-_-<\/p>\n
After that we went to Canopy Garden Dining, where we had a dinner reservation. \u00a0We ordered a sausage platter to share, and he got himself crabmeat aglio olio while I had a mushroom burger with fries. \u00a0The mushroom burger looked plain, but it was still rather good. \u00a0The fries had a right crisp to it, but unfortunately it was a tad too salty for me. Bruno loved it though. \u00a0After that we walked a bit around Bishan Park, where Canopy Garden dining was located at. \u00a0But it was really dark at some parts of the park, and we kinda “interrupted” a few couples who were lying at the reclining chairs there doing… you-know-what. \u00a0It was kinda embarrassing yet hilarious.<\/p>\n
We were supposed to go to Gamestart Asia 2016 yesterday, but we both kinda fell slightly sick on Saturday evening when we were on our way home. \u00a0He was feeling slightly feverish, while I was feeling the onset of cold (was sneezing and having running nose). So we decided to call it off and just rest at home, despite the tickets already bought. \u00a0We caught most of the StreetFighter V SEA Major action (that was happening live at Gamestart) on stream, so it wasn’t that big a loss to not attend the convention.<\/p>\n
Aaaaannd, it’s another new week. \u00a0This is getting so tiring. \u00a0Wish I can have a break…. though the next vacation is like two months away. \u00a0That still seems horribly far though…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
