Outing with JX and WX: Ender's Game

JX felt bored yesterday and he wanted to ask me out for a movie or chill. But it was noon time when he asked, a bit late liao wor so I was a bit relunctant to go out. Nonetheless, I told him why not ask WX who was in school after his class.

WX suggested go out today to watch Ender's Game lor. He even suggested 1pm show @ Vivocity. Left house at 10.30 pm and while on my way there, JX said who late who treat the lunch. So in the end...

I reached the earliest and he's latest!! Haha!

*Saw Jer Wei and the ex-lunch mates at HarbourFront Centre while walking towards Seah Im. Think they are going towards the food court above. Didn't greet each other though...

Lunch at Seah Im hawker centre. I had my $3 lor mee (had been patronizing this particular stall when I was an intern) and they bought yong tau foo. Looked good for the food they had! Probably I could try it next time.


About the movie. I felt something was lacking in the 2-hour movie. It was doing well, but somehow I can't describe what was missing. The story centred itself around a teenage boy named  Andrew "Ender" Wiggin who was very intelligent and was on a mission to destory the aliens - by launching a war with them. The initial rounds were simulations where the army led by Andrew and his group of fellow teammates had to fight and win off the aliens. The twist came when the commanders didn't tell him that the last round was the real battle. Feeling betrayed, Andrew was very angry at the commander. Anyway, he was still given the rank promotion. Towards the end, he looked for the alien and promised to find another planet for the aliens. Perhaps he felt that the aliens didn't have a very evil intention to destory human mankind afterall.

Felt that perhaps the movie could 交代 more stuff - the main lead's sister only appeared twice! - but that would mean a longer film.

Damage: $7 (學生優惠價)

After the movie, went to Daiso to help mum look for some stuff. Then walked walked around Vivo and HarbourFront Centre, nothing much to see actually. Cold stone creamery just opened a new store in front of GV! Another chilling place to go to~

In the end, we went to shop at Giant! JX bought some groceries while I swept 10 pepero snacks, 5 for $3.95, left last few days for the offer liao. Bought the danish pastries too! We shared the food and chit chatted a bit before head home at about 6 pm.

Also bought the cheese sticks, 2 boxes for $1.99.

*Heard from them PG 毒到鬼, don't care own buddy - didn't talk at all ds. Not weird meh?

*Weird uncle who blasted music through the loudspeaker...

不得不承認這幾天都有這樣的想法——現時狀況確實有改變我一些,感覺回到比較樸實的我,像還是學生的我吧,都不會要求很高的物資上的享受。之前可能會想要出門啦、吃好料啦、出國啦、買東西啦,如今我不會對它們那麼期待了……

本來想要買一台monitor的,由於手頭緊,最終打消念頭了。電影呢,我覺得看不看都無所謂,所以現在可以避我都盡量避,開銷不小咧!再來就是吃,之前還會想蒞臨餐館上咖啡廳吃好料和下午茶之類的,可是現在我偏向小販中心了。出國呢,短期不會出,所以沒什麼影響。但如果再這樣下去,我連出國計劃要挪後幾年了。雖然說我很享受出國的日子也很期待下回出國,但是畢竟之前這25年我都能待在新加坡,就算不出其實我還好的,相信拖延一下下應該沒問題。

這些都是一些省錢方式,我不知道什麼時候才能對自己放鬆些……當作是為未來做好一些心理準備吧,一點理財觀念都是對自己有益的。
