Pretty Flowers...
State of Being : Sleepy
Took up an insurance policy recently. In fact, it was my very first insurance policy. I was "persuaded" into getting one after realising the importance of it through what had happened to a colleague of mine. Was asked to go for a medical check-up at Gleneagles Medical Centre at Napier Road last Sat morning. *Yawn* Arrived early at 1045am but was advised to walk around first instead and come back half an hour later...
Decided then to while away the time by visiting the Singapore Botanic Gardens which was located just opposite the medical centre. It must have been ages since I last visited the attraction. Quite "therapeutic" walking amongst the beautiful vegetation and scenery. Saw many tourists there and I actually felt like one of them, cos like them I was busy snapping pictures! Haha. Took the photos simply for fun, afterall who knows when will I be visiting the attraction again...

Singapore Biennale 2006
State of Being : Artistic
Time really files... Always thought there were still lots of time to catch the Singapore Biennale 2006 displays, hence the procrastination in visiting the various venues. Alas, only managed to rush down to catch a glimpse of the displays at City Hall & Tanglin Camp on the last day itself when it finally dawned upon me that the exhibitions were coming to an end. IMHO, it was certainly worth making the trip! The displays were thought provoking and cover diverse themes such as the humanity of mankind, creation of life, upholding of justice, racial & religious harmony. Some artwork that caught my attention were Jane Alexander's "Verity, Faith and Justice", Donna Ong's "Secret, Interiors : Chrysalis" & Sheba Chhachhi's "Winged Pilgrims: A Chronicle from Asia" (@ City Hall) and Brian Gothong Tan's "We Live in a Dangerous World" (@ Tanglin Camp)

My New "Baby"
State of Being : Cool
Brought along my new "baby" to the gym today. So sleek, so small, so light, wonder did anyone even notice her! News of her arrival was slated to be in early Oct yet she was only shipped-in in Nov. Even though I already own a brother of hers, her beauty was simply too much of a temptation for me to resist! Behold the 2nd Gen iPod Shuffle...

p.s. the above pix was actually taken with another "baby" of mine below
The Covenant
State of Being : Entertained 
Utilised a pair of complimentary tixs at "The Cathay" Cineplex by watching The Covenant. For a change, we get to watch a group of male "witches" instead of the usual female ones (think back "The Craft", "Practical Magic", "The Blair Witch Project", "Charmed" etc etc).
While the plot may not be superb and the acting kinda passable, thankfully the characters proved eye candy enough to sustain one's interest with the show. In fact, few of these unknown actors bear uncanny resembles to some Hollywood (rising) stars e.g. leader of " the Sons of Ipswich", Caleb Danvers ~ Josh Hartnett, girlfriend of Caleb Danvers, Sarah Wenham ~ Claire Danes / Christina Applegate, youngest of "the Sons of Ipswich", Tyler ~ Keanu Reeves.
Overally a rather entertaining show, even though I must admit I wouldn't have watched the show had I not have the free passes. =P
Final verdict:
Plot - ** 1/2, Effects - ***, Substance - ** 1/2, Eye Candy - **** 1/2 (haha)
p.s. hmmm... even the posters looks suspiciously familar like that of "The Craft"!
