Its been 2 weeks since my last post, never thought I actually able to come this far.
Its been a somewhat busy 2 weeks. Not because I'm on reservists now, but rather the fact that my niece has come over for a short stay.
Its has always been a frazzled battle to contain the almost 4 year old. My poor father just gave up after one day at the zoo. He took 3 days off to bring my niece around, but he surrendered after the first day.
My entire family had a lot of problems communicating with her. My niece only speaks german and a hint of finnish. Luckily for the poor girl, we only constrained ourselves to talk to her in english only. But she's also versed in a smattering of hokkien, since my father teased her with phrases like "chia peh peh, hiao poh and sam pat chia bor" ok ok, the sam pat char bor was from me la, but she knows how to fight back using those phrases liao.
Thankfully, the battle is almost over, since my sister-in-law and my niece is returning to Germany next Monday. We would definitely miss the chaos that was running loose in my house. But, we would also gladly take back the peace and quiet the house has always been

Bourne Trumps Bond
For the first post of my blog, it is going to be movies- spy thrillers to be exact
While the more patriotics Singapore citizens in Singapore (and possibly the rest of the world), stayed at home to catch the National Day Parade, I went to the sneak previews of Bourne Ultimatum.
It was a very well paced show, without any let up in the action. The slower times in the movie were only more built up in the action. This series in my opinion, was a lot better than the later Bond Films I watched. Maybe for the Bond series, it became too drawn out.
For Mr Double O7, it became very predictable. And given his "I'm too suave for this action" it lacked a certain grittiness in the movie.
Wherelse in the last instalment of the Bourne Ultimatum, the more realistic approach was utilised, for there were still times where the all round training of Jason Bourne failed him, due to external influences. Furthermore, the battle between Bourne and the other assets were very entertaining.
Anyway, this rounds up my first attempt on blogging. My next post would most probably be my own brush with death when my niece comes to Singapore tommorrow. "SOMEONE QUICK HIDE THE FOOD!!!"
