now this is what underwater/land photography should look like!
total coolness to the max!!
time to inflate my BC and snap away while waiting for the other peeps to surface!
(okay, first of all..i need to get hold of an underwater camera -___-")












and this is the brilliant guy, Alessandro Catuogno (i think this is his name? the rest of the words are unidentifiable by my brain), who created all these works of art! Do view the rest of his masterpieces here!

Magic in just that one perfect moment..
or maybe its just being in the right place at the right time!

Latest Christmas carol for 2008
You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why
Recession is coming to town
It's hitting you once
It's hitting you twice
It doesn't care if you've been careful and wise
Recession is coming to town
It's worthless if you've got shares
It's worthless if you've got bonds
It's safe when you've got cash in hand
So keep cash for goodness sake, HEY
You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why
Recession is coming to town!
Finance products are confusing
Finance products are so vague
The banks make you bear the cost of risk
So keep out for goodness sake, OH
You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why
Recession is coming to town.

Off To the "Das Experiment : the Black Box" with Mei Mei

Inspired by the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment conducted in 1971.
20 candidates participated in a prison simulation experiment for purpose of studying the psychological effects of being a prisoner or prison guard. Prisoners and Guards rapidly adapted to their roles. The Guards stepped beyond the boundaries of what had been predicted and developed sadistic tendencies while many prisoners were emotionally traumatized due to the inhumane conditions in the prison. This led to dangerous and psychologically damaging situations. Prof Thon decided to perceive the deterioration as standard psychological reactions and refused to end the experiment despite the obvious unethical acts by the Guards and the protests of his assistant, Dr Grimm.
The 14-day Stanford experiment was aborted after 6 days following concerns of the Guards abusing the in-mates and that the latter were undergoing psychological trauma and slipping into depression.


- prisoners in their cell -



look at our proximity to the set. which i thought was a good initiative. Allows the audience to feel more involved in the play. This play is very much recommended! Extremely intriguing. Gets you wondering about the dangers lurking in darker side of humans. Oh yah! the best part, in my opinion, is when Tarek's hair got shaved off by the Guards! MeiMei and I were caught stunned for a while. We were still discussing whether they were really shaving his hair off. Eventually, we decided that it must be a wig they were shaving cuz its impossible for the troupe to change a long haired Tarek every performance just for this scene. But the shaving scene was very well executed. *claps* The gun firing was also pretty good! Though the ending was quite abrupt.

Although the venue provider can certainly improve on uber hard and uncomfortable seats as well as their air conditioning system. It felt as if the air conditioner broke down! Oh well..after a while, i grew numb to my surroundings as I was so caught up in the play. So, maybe its all not too bad at all. Should catch it if you've got the chance.

I give it..3.5/5 popcorns! (0.5 popcorns deducted due to the uncomfortable seats and the lack of aircon)



glutton meimei gorging on my 2-bite-brownie


yes we were soooooo starved that we settled for 2-bite-brownie for dinner. After 1hr 30min of growling stomaches and dehydrated throats, we practically rushed out of the set during the intermission to get our hands on any food/drink we can find! Thank god for 7/11!!!!


when i had nothing to entertain me while meimei fiddles with her cui GPS.



off to the Das Experiment thru the black box!



Notice the clause "Free Seating"? This becomes extremely crucial when one is rushing for time and the cui GPS refuses to cooperate!


MeiMei obviously enjoying her after-Das Experiment-activity!


of cuz Mei Mei didnt let me off.
and so..we spent a good while camwhoring outside the SubStation before finally making our way to Timbre for more action!


HAHAHHA! i forced meimei to order this gross cough-syrup-like drink.



HUGE yummmyyy pizza!!
minus the irritating onions, urghh

trying to pass time while waiting for Shirlyn & the Unxpected to miraculously appear! Well, they were great, usual. but I dont really fancy Timbre if I were to compare to Wala. The venue is too big and sparse. No high factor. And most importantly, i'm sooooooooooo far away from uncle rene!!! HAHAH =X
To make up for it, we started rocking in MeiMei's car on the way home. Thanks to my zenstone and MeiMei's fabulicious stereos!
