--friday--
went out with weijun to suntec to look out for his watch (as in his 21st birthday gift from his parents). i don't know how much he has researched around for the various brands and models but he just went to fossil upon our suggestion (maybe the prices are nearer to the budget given by his parents) previously.
so we got a skilled promoter recommending us the latest collections...and so weijun kept asking whether this is nice or what not...even the promoter suggested to weijun to ask me whenever she brings out one new piece out from the display cabinet (and i was like...huh? erm...ok).
in the end he bought one trendy roast gold coloured for around two hundred plus. then we went to epic centre so that weijun could buy the iphone ear piece for kim as her late birthday gift.
decided to watch district 9 but realised that gv doesn't show it so we had to move to the cathay and get the tickets first. since we were out we also decided to shop around for stuff. went to domanchi and i bought a checkered shirt. design's not bad...just that the fabric is kind of unfamiliar with what i would normally wear on. weijun chanced upon a blue/white shirt which i don't really recommend him of buying straight away. since (and as usual) kim turned up for the movie, we left to meet her up and decide on the shirt after the movie. had dinner at carl's junior before we made way back to the cathay.
district 9 is really a meaningful show. i didn't know that it was directed by peter jackson until i was at the opening...and thus it got me kind of curious on the movie. frankly speaking if darren didn't spill some beans beforehand i wouldn't have understood the real meaning behind the movie. but despite being a movie with low costs i think it was well done.
went back to domanchi to decide on the shirt before we left for home.
some guys around me have this tendency to be the 'better guy around' in the group if that somebody he likes is in it. i admit i might have this bad habit shown previously but now i realised (and experienced) from the view of the rest in the group. it's still better to be myself at all times.
--saturday--
woke up at 7am to buy some simple breakfast for my family. left home at 9 plus to get the birthday cake from jurong point before i set off to derrick's house. at that i saw windows 7 ultimate myself and played a little of prototype on ps3 (damn nice) before we set off to marina square to leave the cake at kbox and make reservations first.
meet up time was supposedly at 1pm (i apologise because even the planner myself was late for half a hour) but in the end we could only leave marina bay mrt station at 2pm. as a result the picnic (note: the idea of picnic was not proposed by me, i merely took over from kwan yong's idea and planned from there as he is busy with his advanced bslc course) was kind of hastily done because i made reservations for us to start from 3-4pm.
thought it's gonna be the typical small rooms for the seven of us but it turned out that we were given a bigger room. sing sang sung (cut the cake too and gave the couple gv cards as gifts) till 8pm and had a simple dinner at pizzahut. the new spaghetti dishes seem quite good (i had some mushroom spaghetti).

korea is the hottest place in the entertainment industry right now and with the various girl bands like wonder girls and SNSD emerging, this relatively quiet category of fans known as fanboys are also surfacing in terms of their numbers and as well as their passion, enthusiasm for their favourite band/artiste. but they come in all kinds of...well. here's a few videos i saw from a k-pop website:
1st we have a small little boy dancing at some dbsk mv
next we have a fan who made a song for his favourite cl from 2NE1
then we have a guy dancing to a girl's dance (he looks like what yu jae seok would do in infinity challenge)
lastly some hardcore fans for SNSD
