movie trailer

doing my bit to help publicise the movie. :)

this is the international trailer...


and this is the asian one...


do the trailers make you want to go and catch the movie? can you spot the difference? ;)

run, run

just signed up for 2 runs today.

nike+ the human race 10k on 31 august. it's free since i won the complimentary pass from fitness first. so i save about $46. :)

thomas wanted to take part too, more for the t-shirt. :P but registration was already closed when he wanted to sign up.

the other is the half marathon for standard chartered on 7 december. ambitious, right? since the furthest i've ever ran was the 10km at last year's standard chartered marathon.

oh well, just have to set aside time to train for my runs.

got to stay motivated. yes! :)

the spirit compendium blog conference

found this video of the main cast talking about their roles filmed at the blog conference.

shopping

spent an afternoon shopping for janelle's and jarad's birthday presents at takashimaya with tracy and eric. you can see our effort filled up whatever space that eric has in his car boot.

i think janelle and jarad will be thrilled to receive their presents from all of us. :)

5 changi south lane

took the train to tanah merah this morning, haven't done this for the longest time. feels kind of familiar yet different. will i have to do this on a daily basis again?

wanted to have lunch with janet at simei or the airport. sms-ed her but no reply. gave her a call and realised that she's working from home. sigh...

next, sms-ed sally and serene. serene needs to rush some work, not lunching out. sally already had a lunch appointment liao. :(

nobody wants to lunch with me! :P haha...

theme song

the theme song from the spirit compendium and some footage from the movie

media release

the spirit compendium is produced by pro-action [singapore] pte ltd.

here's the english synopsis...

Tom’s girlfriend dies in a tragic accident and he plunges into depression. May is shunned by the people around her because she claims she can see the spirits. Sam’s family loses their fortune and is forced to move in with his friend, Tom and May, his housemate.

The three friends embrace on a journey that begins with the mysterious disappearance of Tom’s father, who leaves Tom with only a spiritual book and an ancient Tibetan Dzi Bead. It is not until Sam is trapped in a spiritual realm that they realize the importance of the items.

for those so inclined, here's the mandarin version which find is so much richer and different from the above...

周振前往中国河南省安阳县钻研周易，却神秘失踪。只留下一本《灵问书》和一串天珠给儿子周旭。周旭在即将完成兵役之时，认识了阴年阴月阴日出生，患有梦游症,时运低又常见鬼的女孩叶美玲和家庭中落当起兼职按摩师的大学生温健忠。

周旭在农历七月鬼门关大开之时,因神秘人的布局,阴差阳错的把健忠误认为是前女友而发生了一夜情,为此他心感不安。在向健忠告白之即,神秘人却夺走了健忠的魂魄。这让周旭经历了一场浩劫。电影《灵问》是一部讲述人,鬼,神仙的故事。

do look out for the movie at cathay cinemas from 1 august onwards.

blog conference

yay! just received an email confirmation that i'll be attending the blog conference for a new local production, 'the spirit compendium' [灵问] this saturday.

hmm... don't know what to expect...

go there

now that streetdirectory.com is still down...

and the alternative [legal] sla web site doesn't provide public transport directions, you can check out gothere. i think it's very nifty. :)

some thoughts

人心虽然是肉做的, 但毕竟还是隔了一层肚皮.

no worries, to my dear friends who're reading my blog. i wasn't backstabbed or hurt by anybody. just some thoughts after watching the hong kong serials, 火舞黄沙 and 溏心风暴 on cable.

it's just a show i know but i'm sure some parts seem really plausible in real life. and i believe that people like some of the 'evil' characters do exist.

i'm glad that i've not met any nasty backstabbers or 2-faced meanies at work or in my life so far. or maybe i had but wasn't skilled enough to detect them and perhaps, i already have many invisible knives sticking out of my back. :P haha...

what i know is sincerity is a very important criteria for all human relationships as most misunderstandings are created by mis-communications. as long as there's no ill-intent, it usually boils down to a matter of perspectives as to why people do what they do.

then again, sometimes 'for your own good' may be misguided too. that's why we have the proverb, 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions.'

hehe... :)

durians galore

i don't eat durians but for those who do, how many have you tried?

Everythings about Singapore.. girls, life, promotions, events, .....: Do you know how many durians are there? More 20 shown here

update: thanks to eric for informing me that the original article is found here.

happy birthday to me

thank you all for remembering today's significance for me and making this weekend specially memorable.

the delicious meals, presents and hongbaos and of course the great company. not forgetting the many smses bearing well wishes too, nice to know that i'm in your thoughts. :)

as much as i like to say that it's just another day on the calendar, i appreciate very much the gatherings you folks organise. it was great company starting from having tea at crystal jade on saturday, followed by dinner at coca. today's extended lunch at aquamarine was delicious, next was tea at toast box and finally dinner at ichiban sushi.

burp...
