06/15 - i haven't done much lately except for work and hang around the house watching Korean dramas. well, i did go to the 50th State Fair this past Sunday after work. that was pretty fun . what is also fun is that i didn't work yesterday, & i won't have to 'til Thursday morning when my shift begins @ 7 a.m. 'cause of inventory. oh well. it's kinda ironic how a homebody like me has been feeling the itch to go out w/ friends. however, i don't have the $$ to do so. i gotta save my paycheck to pay back my older sis & for our Las Vegas trip that's coming in in 'bout 2 weeks. okie folks, leave me lots of notes....even if it's just 1 letter. just write something, alright???

06/12 - sorry its been a while since i last wrote here. but then again, i don't think anyone actually reads this on a regular basis . anyway, i've been mostly working & chilling @ home these past few weeks, except for the occasional beach-outings to Waikiki Beach w/ my friends. well, i recently borrowed a video from the library, & the movie was hilarious & entertaining . i actually was hesitant 'bout getting the video 'cause i thought the storyline was quite whack & it'd be a waste of time & dollar. however, the Singapore film, That's The Way I Like It, was something i haven't seen from an Asian film before. don't worry folks, the movie was filmed completely in spoken English--not dubbed over or has subtitles. Synopsis: In 1970s Singapore, 20-year-old grocery clerk Hock tries to survive w/ high hopes but low expectations. He's still living w/ his parents, & dotes on his younger brother & his little sister--who's addicted to romance novels. Hock doesn't have a girlfriend, & his male friends like to bowl & watch kung-fu movies. When Hock looks in to the mirror, he sees himself as Bruce Lee riding a fast motorcycle w/ a beautiful woman on the back seat hanging on to him. 1 night, the local movie house replaces the usual kung-fu fare w/ a movie called "Forever Fever"--a Singaporean version of "Saturday Night Fever". Hock hates disco, but tags along w/ his friends. To his surprise, he's taken in by the movie & goes to see it over & over again. He even holds secret conversations w/ the hero of the film, who gives him a few tips about making a move on the dance floor & in life. Hock then enters a disco-dancing contest, hoping to win the $5000 cash prize so he can buy himself a motorcycle. However, his dancing partner, childhood friend Mei, seems interested in another kind of prize, & it also seems that his seemingly perfect, smart younger brother might need the money more than him.
