My New Year so far.

How's your new year so far?

This year I haven't done any visiting as I'm still in the mourning period (my grandfather passed away last year). Nevertheless, the New Year was still pretty good for me. It's more like a gambling holiday! Haha!

Let's see, I went to play mahjong with my friends on the eve and did nothing for the rest of the first day except sleep. At night, I went to watch Racing Stripes, which was rather funny!

On the second day, I went to visit my grandmother in hospital. She was warded for some swelling a few days ago. Thankfully, she looked in high spirits and was chatting loudly and happily away. After that, we went to her place where I proceeded to play mahjong again with my dad, uncles, aunt and cousin.

The third day was spent again at my friend's house playing mahjong. Oh dear, I'm starting to look like a compulsive gambler! We went to town to watch I Do, I Do after the game.

Racing Stripes was quite funny. I like the flies! Most of the humour was between them anyway. The dumbest role went to the pelican. Well, just go watch it, I think it's really quite funny.

On the other hand, try to watch I Do, I Do on a weekday. If not, don't watch it and wait for the VCD. It's a rather good attempt from Jack Neo but the story telling was a bit stale. I'm sorry but it still looks quite cheapo. The animation was terribly mediocre and looked like something from the last century!

Still, I'd still give credit for a local production like this and I thought the twist at the end of the story was quite funny! It seems like something out of Ocean's Eleven.

Happy lunar new year to all!
