CNY

CNY is just looming around the corner, its ang bao time again. hahaha. Well just had my reunion dinner with Mum's side yesterday. We went to Jumbo seafood at Tanah Merah Safra for dinner. Dinner was great, super filling with lots of seafood... Had a great day, we started off with bowling, and my uncle wanted to up the stakes said that we should pool in $10 each, so the winner of the round gets everything. Of course he won, damn. I was pretty unlucky, wasted my strike or I would have had a chance of topping the table. In the end I came in second. After bowling was dinner and followed by KTV. As usual, KTV became sort of a personal concert. Don't know why the kids are all so shy to sing, the same goes to most of the adults so I was sort of singing song after song to entertain everyone. It was until the end that the kids were more into it (because my uncle told them that they would get $5 for every song they sing, haiz the sad truth).

Well something more interesting happened the other day, I was asked by jteam if I wanted to help out to be an usher for his new movie, "Ah Long Pte Ltd". Of course I agreed, and it was so fun. Basically we had 2 sessions, one at the press conference, at Inter-continental Hotel and the second movie screening at Vivo-city. At both sessions we had to act as the henchmen of Fann Wong, so when she walks the aisle we had to raise the fake parangs. It was pretty funny, especially at Vivo. People around us were frightened when we took out the parangs and walked around the mall. And the best part was, we even went to celebrate someone's (some passer-by) birthday. The crew was great, very fun-loving. The down side was the grumpy bus driver, we forgot to take our stuff and he kept shouting Joey. He was so rude, come on, its his job to be driving our things around, so just do it lah. Even if we ask you to drive over a thousand times, you'll still have to do it because thats your job. So quit grumbling. Yup after the gig, we were treated to view the preview screening of the movie. Overall, the movie was ok, not that fantastic but about the same standard as all of Jack's other movies. The malaysian accent was very strong and Mark was pretty funny in the movie. But still overall I wouldn't rate this movie very highly, maybe just 2 1/2 - 3 stars. Just watch it when you really don't have any other better things to do.
