went to watch the da vinci code ytd. the bk is definitely the better version. lots of extra lines on robert langdon's part so tt the Christians who watch it wont get even more offended. the plot wld seem rather complicated to those who haven't read the bk cos the bk explains stuff so much clearer. tom hanks looks nth like the robert langdon as descibed in the bk. ian mckellen was q gd as teabing, especially the part where he gets arrested. the albino monk silas was also well played, i thot. the self-flagellation and tightening of the cilice part was morbidly fascinating... read in today's newspaper tt angels n demons cld be made into a movie too. the bk is much more enjoyable than the dv code, so hopefully the movie (if it's really made) will be better as well. today: my left eye was first v itchy, then red, then painful. a plane flying off with one less passenger the sacrifice
will be going to macau this june, staying there several days before going to HK!!! miss HK loads, esp the food. once u eat there u'll nvr place s'pore food in such high esteem anymore. unless u're one who can't do w/o chilli fortunately i can't stand chilli so i wont miss it one bit in hk. to hell w cts

Aur was GREAT. (then again, diving is always gr8) highlights: - went deepest i've ever gone, 40.0m! was trying to find 3 wrecks but cldn't prob'ly cos of the monsoon season which swept them away frm their original place, i guess. descended using some rope which was terribly dirty, with red moss-like stuff growing. onli at the end of the dive did we discover, to our horror, millions of tiny sea cockroaches clinging onto our bodies! they'd migrated frm the rope onto our wetsuits n equipment. the moment we divers got out of the water we were all frantically trying to wash the disgusting little bugs off. got most of them off but found some more on subsequent scrutiny in preparation for the following dives. we were all scary ourselves silly with tales of insects crawling into our ears/ into our REGS! which wld mean breathing the bugs in and feeling them crunch btwn our teeth... - 2 large cuttlefish! v ugly, but a wonderful sight nonetheless - crabs! - moray eels - 7-armed starfish - blue-spotted stingrays - went snorkeling in search of some sharks. swam q far out but cldn't find them - no manta :( - dint see turtles this time. the other grp of divers did, tho, when we were on our deep dive - loads of barracuda until someone is generous enuff to buy me an underwater casing (and pref a better cam), there'll be no pix taken by me. however, i might load some of the photos taken by fellow divers, who seem to be q gd photographers, judging by the photos. till next time! |
