nothing much doing

haven't done much updating of my blog, unlike some people who are very good and update it with something interesting everyday!

news-wise, a lot of bad has been going on. viruses rampaging (computer viruses i mean), just subbed a story on israel threatening to missile strike palestinian leaders (!!!) - while i'm not on the side of the palestinians (the recent bus bombing killed 6 children) israel's methods aren't exactly likeable either. why is there so much rage, tension, frustration? i'm just glad i live in singapore.

oh yes, have also been thinking of what to get my dearest mumsy for her birthday. She's turning 50 soon!
we're gonna try a new restaurant - whitebait & kale - supposed to be aussie-style seafood place. at camden medical centre of all places. so, u know, we could just pop in for a lipo session and then head for some mussels and fish n chips after, how lurvely.

shall end my post with sthg i found on the bbc website (who would've thought!) on alternative film endings.

bbc online readers were invited to send in their suggestions and here are a few of the good ones (well at least i thought they were funny!)

Richard Dreyfuss' character in JAWS throws back the sheet in the autopsy room and says, "You were right, it WAS just a boating accident." Film ends.

I like this answer:

Men in Black - Will Smith can't be bothered chasing the guy at the beginning of the film and lets him run away. World gets destroyed a few days later.

Sliding Doors - she took the bus instead.

Lawrence of Arabia - gets posted to the Guildford Army recruitment centre instead of the Middle East. Doesn't quite have the same ring.

The Devil's Advocate - Keanu Reeves says no to the job and spares us his appalling acting 'talent'. Even better, the 'one' drowns in the Matrix after being ejected from his little glass box. Castaway - Madonna drowns...
