watched x-men 3 yesterday instead of da vinci code because for some reason, the tickets for da cinci were selling out much faster than x-men. how weird. anyway was quite thankful that we watched that instead. at least i did not have to think about anything. just sat there and immersed myself in the flashing screens and booming speakers. haha but they killed off one of my favourite x-men since i was a child who was not supposed to die, and they never ever wanted to introduce my favourite haha! gosh it really has been a long while since i last watched such cartoons. the simple pleasure of childhood. the 30mins of watching x-men on the weekends was worth the other 7 day minus 30 minutes worth of waiting.i've made a list of the stuff i want to get. then i realised that guys usually want a lesser quantity of expensive goods compared to girls who would on average instinctively crave for a greater quantity of less pricey stuff. i guess that's y it's so difficult to buy pressents for guys. especially if your at the age where you want like a 30 year old but can only afford stuff a 15 year old can. arrrgggh!
iceland iceland. my goal for next year. but alas what gerri said to me yesterday was quite true, if i were to go alone it would take alot of the fun out of it. on the other hand, if i want to do something i should go ahead and do it right? i meant with alot of people already working now, it's really going to be difficult if not impossible to find time to go overseas together. especially with jobs which dont exactly give you the flexibility of taking leave in extended blocks or at specific times during the month. bummer.
went to borders to look for the lonely planet guide to iceland. it took me a while just to find iceland (now i'm not even sure i did). i saw a book with the words iceland on the spine on the shelf with greenland on it. but it wasnt a lonely planet guide so i'll have to pop by kino some day. i realised after reading quite alot of books in preperation of my trip last december that the content of lonely planet guides seemed to cover everything i was looking for in a trip.
anyway both henman and dementieva (how nice that they are in boy blue and girl pink huh? hahaha!!) are out so that just leaves nalbandian and henin-hardenne. david now faces arguello followed by a probably encounter with davydenko and then federer before he reaches the finals. in the lower half, i'm sort of rooting for djokovic. h'e a gonzales in the making man. in fact, he beat gonzales at his own game and i feel he has the necessary power and consistancy to break nadal's run of victories. justine has an equally tough path through facing myskina next followed by a likely dulko and then wither hingis or clijsters to reach the finals. the other half is pretty evenly matched up with mauresmo, vaidisova, williams, schnyder, sharapova, safina, schiavone, kuznetsova, but i do hope that either dinara or amelie makes it through. ah wat a potentially exciting next week at the french open. luckily i wont be going for singapore open (yeah right! boys and girls this is what we call "denial"). speaking of which, i was at a korean page and it seems like they originally intended for their senior team to play here in singapore. i wonder what led to the last minute withdrawal.
oh well, it's going to be another boring sunday. a pity it doesnt look like its going to rain.
