"The Return"

IBM's supercomputer for US military

It's not a duck, it's not a toy, it's the world's smallest, cheapest submarine

Kai just came back from his company chalet at NSRCC. He shared with me all the stories and the pictures taken. He took many pictures found out his company hired many attachment students.

Timothy called to asked me to watch a midnight show called "The Return" multi award wining film which Rishee recommended. Rishee and Audrey came to pick me up. Rishee had driven a rented car, an auto Mazda 323 for a weekend package of around $190++. Thats a lot of money for a few days of driving. At around 1am, we reached Cineleisure and purchased 5 tickets. Irene was coming to watch also. While waiting for them saw many couples. I felt like a gooseberry between 2 loving couples sad.

Well the show is in russian and its rather an artistic movie. Click the link below to find out more. After the show, we went to collect our cars at Cairnhill. Rishee sent Audrey home at Serangoon as I and him stayed quite near. Reached home around 4am. Thanks for the ride Rishee.




The Return Offcial site

In contemporary Russia young brothers Vanya and Andrey have grown a deep attachment to each other to make up for their fatherless childhood. Running home after a fight with neighborhood kids the boys are shocked to discover their father has returned after a twelve year absence. With their mother's uneasy blessing Vanya and Andrey set out on what they believe will be a fishing vacation with their taciturn father.

Though at first ecstatic to be reunited with the father they've only known from a faded photograph, the boys strain under the weight of their dad's awkward and increasingly brutal efforts to make up for a missing decade of parental supervision. Vanya and Andrey find themselves alternately tested, scolded, scrutinized and ignored by their father through a changing series of encounters and hardships.

As truck stops and cafés give way to rain-swept, primevally beautiful wildernesscoastline, Vanya's doubts about his father give way to open defiance. Andrey's powerful need to bond with a father he's never known begins, in turn, to distance him from Vanya.

Vanya and his father's test of wills escalates into bitter hostility and sudden violence as the trio arrives at their mysterious island destination.

The dubious sanctuary of a rickety light tower, the desperate reassurance of a stolen knife, the cryptic allure of a rusting strong box and the fleeting safety of a hastily patched boat give evidence to the ultimately tragic conclusion of Vanya and Andrey's harrowing father and son journey and the heartbreakingly transitory nature of their reunion.

My new baby after my handphone Posted by Hello

Finally got my watch

Tuesday Kai told me he had to Sim Lim to purchase some rams and asked me if I wana go eat suan la mian. Met him at Bugis around 4.45. After he got his rams, we went to eat. After our meal, Kai wanted to go eat Rochor tau huey. Reached there sat awhile and saw many people driving by and buying take aways. Later he decided to go the Korean supermarket located at Burlington Square. Spent around 10mins just looking at the drinks. He finally decided to try a RICE drink. I tried abit and the taste was weird.

I decided to look at the watches opposite Burlington. Went many shops either nothing was my liking or expensive. Finally sold a chrome g-shock which looked very nice, and price was $108. The lady told me previously was $118. So i bought it and had the strap altered. After that went Bugis to walk around before heading home


Monday Kai was craving for Mee Siam, so met him at Parkway. Earlier on he had his medical checkup at Paya Lebar Airbase. He told me all the examinations done on almost every part of the body. The doctor event commented on his face. I wondered what does his face got to do with his piloting abilities. Maybe appearing in an AirForce advertisement LOL. Hope he could pass this medical and be selected. After our meal we walked around, then decided to go Giant. AT Giant we bought some food, then Kai noticed a group of 6-7 KOREAN ladies and started stalking them. He was attracted to the way they were talking. An Yung Ha Sae Yoo Hum Sa Uper MUSIC LOL.

On our way to NTUC, he saw a medium setting up an altar and performing some stunts. We stood to see what was happening. The guy was around 40s, dressed in black and claimed he was from Thailand his chinese wasn't fluent. He claimed that his master was related to the Thai PM. The funny thing was, if you want to strike 4D you got to be beaten by him HAHHAHA.

Timothy called to play pool at 9, as Rishee got his driving license today. We went to have our dinner at the hawker centre. Went to classic earlier and happened to saw Fusheng and his friend playing, chatted awhile before Timothy and co came. Well performance was not too bad, won a few games later left and reached home at around 11.30.
