Just got to learn about this new local movie in Singapore called "881". This is the theme song "一人一半". I find that the song is really nice and sincere. It has spurred on my interest to view the other mtvs of the movie on Youtube and I would also like to reccomend this other one.

It is called "代替". I feel that these songs have very nice lyrics and will definitely brings out the mood of the story in the movie. I hope this movie will be still showing in the cinemas when I go back Singapore soon. =) Looking forward to buy the soundtrack too.

Read many good reviews from the net about the movie. I alwiz liked local productions when I can relate to the story and characters easily. It is also very interesting that how hokkien songs are being brought to the main stream by this daring young director. Thumbs up!

Go-karting

Hi all,

Finally, I'm back on this long neglected blog of mine. Time flies... In another 3 weeks time, it will be the 1 year anniversary of my overseas posting in Bangalore. Nope, I will not be celebrating the anniversary in Bangalore. I'd be at the Land of the Rising Sun. =)

Well, things have been pretty boring and uninteresting for the past few months and thus I've been lacking in materials or subjects to post over here. However, the recent trip to try out Gokarting in Bangalore does give me some new photos to put up.



This the Gokarting track which I went to. It is a pretty small circuit. Takes abt 40-50 seconds to complete one lap. The corners are not that challenging as I would imagine. Well, I should be grateful that they have such things here in the first place. The karts are quite ok and the cost is rather affordable. About S$4.80 every 6 laps.




Well, I can't help it but to comment on the driving of the locals. Unlike those hell drivers on the real roads where they can manovure and wingle among the total chaos of vehicles and human, I am surprised at the way the few locals drive on the track. Crashing all over. No offense to lady drivers, there was a local lady who just drove right up a small island in the middle of the track too. And looking at this photo, it is a good example of Indians.... alwiz arguing... one blaming the other of causing the crash... they just never blame themselves.

On the side tracks, there is also a perfect example of how ridiculous and inconsiderate some locals are. Almost everyone don't know what is the meaning of queueing. Some even gave nonsense reasons like "Oh.. we need to go off by 4.30pm, we need to go on the tracks first." Duh.... I can also say "I forgot to switch off my light at home, let me go first so I can go home earlier to switch off the light."

Besides the bad experience of the irritating people crowding all around the gate, there was another unfortunate incident. My nokia phone's LCD cracked internally. I think it only happpened during my last 6 laps. I do not understand how come it will crack internally when it is in a protective cover and the cover and the external of the phone did not crack. Suay lar... Or mebbe I drove too fast? The phone not built to withstand the G force? Hahaha...

Maybe it broke for a reason too. Anyway, gotta look for a new phone soon...
