went to queen's place yesterday, because wenn was bugging me to go haha and i kinda regret making the statement, "two is boring and three is fun". why? because those two pesky girls seem to like to bring this up to make me go out with them lol anyway, here's some pics that i took druing our chilling session..
and how can we forget someone else..
happy the chubby puppy dog! cute but a bit too fat lol
and these few days ive been trying to pack my sis' room, although 90% of the work is done by my maid =p and i realise something, she have got lots of soft toys.. more than mine i think haha (i used to collect them when i was younger)
yup so thats all of it which was hiding in my sis' wardrobe.
so other than that, the next monkey reviews will be a big hit, with one probably getting 5 monkeys from me! haha so till then, happy waiting =p
was suppose to go to the zoo today, but it was cancelled for some reason, so i've got nothing much to blog about today..
hmm, im actually quite busy recently lol im serious! im busy packing stuff in my sis room, cos it's gonna be officially mine soon. yup, so i gotta pack my sis stuff out and move my stuff in.
ohh, and click on various links below to hear some nice songs..
heard this song first in the nodame cantabile drama special episodes and thought that it's really good. its variations of the song twinkle twinkle little star. you should really hear it, its really really good =)
another post on monkey reviews from the renown critic in thedelinquentone.blogspot.com, mr caleb poon! i shall be touching on 1 review each on every segments - anime, drama & movie.
anime. Nodame Cantabile (Japanese) i caught hold of this anime when i saw the title. yes, cantabile, a music term which simply means songlike. and as what i expected, this anime is based on orchestry and music. this anime is rather similar to La Corda d'Oro (LCdO) except that this was based solely on orchestras, while LCdO has a bit of emphasis on bands.
i particularly love the lame-ness of the female character, Noda Megumi who utters out meaningless words like "Gyabooo" and "Mukyaaa" randomly and also the love-hate relationship that the main characters have, which finally blossomed into a loving one. loved the mongoose (a costume that nodame wore) and the music too! <3
Caleb's Rating: (3 monkeys /5)
drama. Nodame Cantabile Live Action (Japanese)
looking at how honey and clover failing miserably in the remake into a drama, i never had high hopes for this drama. however, i'm glad that i decided to watch this in the end. although some of the lame stuff are still.. lame, most of them are cute and funny, which kinda gives the drama more depth in the comedy aspect. love the music, love the actors/actresses, love the acting and the storyline isn't boring even though i watched this drama right after finishing the anime - this is just a superb drama.
ohh, and the 2 special episodes after the drama series were amazing! why do i say that? because most OVAs that i've watched are boring and shitty, but, the storyline of this drama's OVA is just simply gratifying!
A Must Watch! for all music lovers <3 it's one of the best, or rather the best drama remake if you ask me =)
Caleb's Rating: (4 1/2 monkeys /5)
movie. Legend of the 7 Cutters (Korean) i remember watching like 5 minutes of this movie during my poly days, when me and some of my friends were still crazy over the Yoon Eun Hye (Goong - a.k.a. Princess Hours) Fever. and since i didnt have a chance to watch the entire movie then, i decided to watch it now.
this movie was one of those lame ass romance movie with a bit of action. even though im a fan to cute lame-ness, i didn't really find the storyline appealing. so heres my verdict..
my brother's wedding is most probably on the 6TH OF JUNE next year! if you haven't got the hint, its on MY BIRTHDAY! haha, yeah and it's MY 21ST BIRTHDAY to be more exact! isn't that like "shuang xi ling men", which means double happiness =)
best thing is: wedding = a lot of people = many many gifts for me too right? ._. LOL call me materialistic or whatever, i don't really care =p
i know its 6am in the morning, but i couldn't sleep again ._. anyway, i remember saying that i'll post the pics that we took in starbucks right? but since we really took very few pictures, i made them into 2 professional looking collages instead =)
so here they are..
oh and the date of our outing that day was on the 12th of july and not the 13th. ignore the small typo error in the previous picture that i posted.
btw, i've added a new feature in the misc section. not much of a big deal though.. just 2 links to my facebook photo albums which comprises of most of the photos that you see posted in my blog entries =)
ok since i don't really feel like blogging today, i'll just give you guys a short update.
went out for dinner today to metropole herbal restaurant in clarke quay with charmaine's family to discuss about their (charmaine and my bro's) marriage, which is most probably be next year =)
heres a collage of the food.. (the pics ain't that nice, but the food is great)
btw, this isn't all the dishes
other than that, i can't wait for wednesday's trip to the zoo!
helo cal_bloders! (haha just created this term: cal_bloders - caleb_blog-readers)
have a stiff neck today and it was terrible. its like whenever i try to tilt my head too much to any direction, it'll start to hurt really badly! but anyway, apart from that, i got a phone call from a sneaky nerd today which woke me up from my slumber..
sneaky nerd, "hello.." me, "yes?" sneaky nerd, "do you wanna go out today?" me, "i don't mind, what time?" sneaky nerd, "ermm.. around 6.30pm after my piano lesson?" me, "ok.. what time is it now?" sneaky nerd, "ermm.. 5.30pm" me, "5.30pm! so late already?" sneaky nerd, "haha no la, its only 1.50pm" me, "-.-"
haha yup, so thats the conversation. why is she a sneaky nerd? im sure you can see from that conversation on how she's sneaky, as for the nerd part.. i dunno lol, her nickname in my phone is nerd, so.. lol
anyway, i ended up meeting up with her and queen for a short evening outing. went to pasta mania for dinner and sorry cal_bloders, but i forgot to take any photos there because we were just too hungry =p ohh, and banana dessert pizza is actually quite nice, though it might sound disgusting lol
after which we started walking aimlessly to town and ended up in paragon's starbucks.
will post more pictures when i get them from the rest..
what did we talk about over there? all kinds of stuff from normal to horny lol. we started off talking about the regulars and relationships and then it turned 360 degrees into an R(A) conversation with all kinds of crap in it ._.
oh and ive thought of a name for the 3 of us.. clique^3 [a.k.a. clique(cubed)]
anyway, we've decided to go to the zoo this coming monday/wednesday (you can join us if you want =) will be asking some of the regulars if they can make it) and have a regulars dinner on saturday if the rest can make it.
ok, so apart from that, i ran into something interesting on my bus ride home today!
and no the polices were not pointing guns, but torchlights.. and when we saw it, we were like wtf?!? lol
apparently, after a sudden break from the bus driver, we heard some noises from the bottom deck. (it was a double decker bus and queen and me was on the top) after the bus stopped at the next bus stop, the noises grew louder and then 2 guys (one is drunk according to the other spectators) and the driver got off the bus and started quarrelling! there were police there too, so we got off the bus and joined the crowd of spectators. all i heard from the guy was, "it wasnt me" and he kept repeating that.. i wondered what happened? ._. but since queen was afraid that the mess will grow into a violent one and that she'll get stabbed or shot by someone (LOL), we decided to walk away from it and take a cab home..
and one last thing.. wenn was saying that i look pretty today, not handsome..
hmm..
so what do you think? lol i always thought i had a much more feminine look, compared to a masculine one, so i don't really care. what's more, i was once called "pretty boy" by manpreet during my secondary school days to irritate me but i always took that as a compliment haha

i initially planned to blog a long entry today, but since my mood is disrupted by wenn's lousy html skills lol, ill just try to blog as much as i can.
went out with queen today, for beads hunting.. again.. wenn was suppose to join us today, but shes busy with her stuff (so she ditched us T-T) so she couldn't join us today.
and thank God that queen was smart enough to call my house at 2pm today, because that call woke me up. we were suppose to meet at 230pm at bugis but i kinda had problems sleeping at night these few days, so i slept at about 10am? haha ya.. so we decided to meet up at 3pm at outram instead.
while waiting for her there, i decided to pop by the 7-11 for strepsils and a bottle of mineral water (and yes, im still a bit sick). then i started to have a dilemma - lemon with honey or vitamin c ._.
but after i saw this..
improved flavour?!?
i have reached a decision.. the winner of Singapore's Next Top Male Model is.. Caleb! lemon with honey
why? because if the vitamin c flavour have got to be improved, i can't really imagine how healthy it will taste =/ and you know what they say.. healthy food is mostly yucky.
anyway, after we reached bugis, we went for lunch, at bugis' food junction.
chicken pepper rice
as you can see from the picture above, i had the chicken pepper rice, and queen ordered the beef pepper rice. after which we went to various places to get her stuff and ended our trip in chinatown.
hmmm, today was actually much more pleasant than i expected lol and since we didnt take any pics of our gorgeous sleves, heres some picture that i took of myself =)
i know that discovering the escapade isnt what im trying to potray in the pictures, but it sounds nicer than what i initially wanted =p
yup, wore a cap today. wanted to wear my shades too, but then decided to ditch it in the end.
one last thing.. for those who didnt realise, but im sure you guys already have, ive added a photo gallery in the misc. section! and the gallery showcases mainly pictures of me and some other group shots! cover the other people's faces with your fingers if you must ._. and yes, all of them are retouched.
when i checked my mail today, i found something interesteing =)
it's a new application in facebook - IQ Test (Advanced Level). it's supposed to be a more accurate version of the old IQ test that i did some time ago.
so heres the result..
managed to get 8 out of 15 qns right! but took more than 15mins
so this shows that im smart lol (wency do this test and prove to me that my extra point doesnt prove that im smarter than you =p)
