Argentina vs Germany

Just finished watching the Argentina vs Germany match..

So sad.. :(

I feel so sorry for Argentina.. :(

They lost to Germany..

The score was 4-0..

By the look of it, seems like Germany's gonna bring home the World Cup

this year..

They are an extremely strong team!

Brazil vs Netherlands

Really very puzzled & wondering what on earth is happening to all these teams @ the World Cup this year?!

England.. South Africa.. Italy.. And now.. Brazil, my favourite team, is also out!!! :(

Just watched the latest match, hours ago.. Brazil lost to Netherlands~! 2-1 :(

Wondering what will be the outcome of the next match - Argentina vs Germany..

Kinda boring week but had more rest than usual.. :)

For the past week, I spent most of my week resting at home as I had a sore throat on Wednesday & it escalated into a dry cough & a runny nose on Thursday..

However, thank God, I'm feeling much better now & other than the occasional runny nose.. I'm perfectly fine.. :)

During those 2 days when I was not feeling well, he bought me 6 big bottles of Chrysanthemum Tea & Winter Melon Tea, a box of Strepsils Lozenges & breakfast early in the mornings, without me even mentioning anything!

On Tuesday, I met my mum at Sengkang, Compass Point Shopping Centre,

where we also had our lunch there..

We did a bit of grocery shopping for my grandparents there and from there we took a bus to my uncle's residence @ Rio Vista Condominium,

where my maternal grandfather is recuperating, after having been discharged from the hospital during last weekend..

We spent the afternoon there till the evening, before we headed back to our respective homes.. :)

I managed to visit the National Library at Pasir Ris, White Sands Shopping Mall again yesterday.. :)

Was there to return my book & of course, borrowed another..

Here's the book which I've borrowed & am currently reading.. :)

Sherlock Holmes - The Complete Novels and Stories Volume II

by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


Yup! I am so into the case stories of Sherlock Holmes these days.. ;)

I have always love detective stories, crime stories, murder cases, mystery, thriller, horror, suspense, science-fiction, etc etc etc. since I was a kid.. ;)

The Karate Kid (2010)

The Karate Kid, known as The Kung Fu Kid in China and Best Kid in Japan and South Korea, is a 2010 martial arts remake of the 1984 film of the same name.

Directed by Harald Zwart, produced by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, the remake stars Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith. Principal photography for the film took place in Beijing, China; filming began around July 2009 and ended on October 16, 2009. The Karate Kid was released theatrically in the United States on June 11, 2010 and Singapore a day earlier on June 10, 2010.


The plot concerns a 12-year-old boy from Detroit who moves to China with his mother and incurs the wrath of the neighborhood bully. He makes an unlikely ally in the form of his aging maintenance man, Mr. Han, a kung fu master who teaches him the secrets to self-defense.

Once again, I want to say a big "thank you" to my sister-in-law, Mabel Eva, who gave me a pair of complimentary movie tickets to this movie which I've watched on Monday afternoon! :)

I absolutely love it so much! :)

I don't mind watching it again.. :)

I was so impressed with Jaden Smith!

Jaden Smith is such an awesome child actor!

Although this was not his 1st big screen performance but I think he did a great job in this movie.. :)

Such impressive & convincing acting of a child actor at such a young age!

One can also see that he put in a lot of hard work & effort into his role & his martial arts skills were good..

I'm very sure he's gonna grow up to become one of Hollywood's best actors around!

Will Smith & his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith has indeed taught him very well & without a doubt, he has definitely inherited their awesome acting genes! :)

Friday, 25th of June 2010.. :)

We drove to Sengkang, Rivervale Mall in the afternoon, where we had our lunch there.. :)

Also bought balloons for Shawn Ethan, and 2 sets of pyjamas for Jonathan Ezra..

Bought myself a small black tote bag from the Daiso outlet there.. :)

"Decorated" the simple small black tote bag with a bracelet chain. 

What a difference a small accessory can do to enhance its look.. :)

and also Punggol Marina Country Club..
