PECKPOST
Hmm tons of events have happened this weekend. On friday I had duty so I had to stay over till saturday morning. It wasn't that bad really. Well unless I screwed up some admin. In that case I will get...7 extra duties. Anyway I actually got to put in quite a few hours into reading The Time Traveller's Wife. If there's one thing good about NS is that it makes me read. It's not even June and I think I've outdone my tally for last year...which was like 5 methinks? Lit texts included. I don't mind reading, but it's like a distant 4th behind using the com, watching cable and playing with my dogs. I'm also quite picky when it comes to books and boy am I superficial. Bigger font is a big plus. 1.5 line spacing rules. Just preference.
And today my family and I went out to eat dim sum at Shang Palace. I would say the dishes were hit and miss. Some were superlative, others were letdowns. For the former the Egg yolk custard bun was simply divine. I shit you not they are fit for God. The filling is hot, rich creamy, yeah whatever orgasmic adjective you can think of. But really the beverages were a total ripoff. It's unbelievable. My parents ordered this red date tea thing with longan that they recommended and it ended up costing 8 bucks each. Ok alright maybe it's some gourmet bull. But I ordered a coke. And it cost TEN BUCKS. WHAT THE FECK. And it wasn't no gallon or something it was A CAN O COKE. Jaw-dropping stuff indeed.
Yesterday I watched Billy Elliot and then today I watched The Prestige. Both were superb. The acting in Billy Elliot was brilliant and the emotional scenes were acted out to perfection. Plus it has tons of wicked brit dialogue. The Prestige's plot is really smart. It twists and turns and makes you think. Plus it's about magic and has some great themes like self-commitment and revenge.
And watch these videos of Fred. I thought they were really amusing and funny.
