3 wks ago, I closed my door to prevent my baby niece (averyl) to come into my room becoz she always climbs on my chair & sits in front of my pc....
I'm not afraid she presses on my pc, I'm jux afraid she will fall from my chair...

so I ran ahead of her, never did I know tat she was right behind me & her right hand was on e side of the door & her lil right finger was immediately crooked a lil...
she yelled so so loudly tat I presumed tat e entire block could hear her...
after awhile, she's alright... few days after, her finger got a lil better...
dar closed e gate & hit right on her lil right finger again....

so once again, e same time happened...
we din bring her to e doc till like few days back....
she has a x-ray yesterday & this morning we went back to e doc he said its better to bring Mei to e KK hospital..

So around 6 plus we went down... KK was packed sia...
fortnately with e doc's letter (e doc siad her case was an A&E) we were able to see like in an hour's time...

so now her finger looks like this:

oh yeah, forget to add:

Merry Merry Merry Merry Merry Xmas!!!!!!

^ On the right is the Bodhi Tree.... said to be very old....

Hill Classic Lane 甲第巷 and also the Church Street to visit the ancient family houses in Chaozhou. The Church Street restoration is the most beautiful Chaozhou a cultural construction and you can far distant view of Xiangzi Bridge 湘子桥.

Xiamen 11th to 17th june Day3

2011-07-17T00:29:00.002+08:00

On the 3rd day, the so-called most interesting attractions among all, world’s cultural heritage – Fujian (Hakka) Tulou [世界文化遗产 "福建华安土楼"].

These houses are of special architectural style and characteristics. They are also for store-keeping as well as self-defence for the Hakka people. 它高大、厚重、粗犷、雄伟的建筑风格和庭园院落端庄独特的造型艺术，融与如诗的山乡神韵，让无数参观者叹为观止。

I wasn't really awed by it.... But it was quite an eye-opener lor..... Can never find these in S'pore mah...

^the doorbelll.... *funny hor* ^the well

^painted on it... preserved till now

^our tulou guide was one of the performers..

actually, I oso went somewhere but forgotten liao.....
the tulou compensated everything lah.... so till part 4^^;;;

Xiamen 11th to 17th june Day2

2011-07-07T00:17:00.004+08:00

Bus dropped us somewhere near a jetty but coz it was a wkend, tended to be crowded, e tour guide used a S'pore flag to make sure all of us followed him!! *seriously, I think all tour leaders should make sure e foreign guides have a S'pore flag so NONE of any s'poreans will be lost*

^beautiful blossom

^tat's e guide, Xiao Yang & e jetty

^awaiting to board the 5mins boat ride to 鼓浪屿 (Gulangyu Island also known as The Garden by the Sea) & e crowd was never-ending

What so special about this island was that, there wasn't any vehicles around except for bicycles & electric tram. In fact, we had to roam around the whole island by foot, initially,we were able to walk 3 qurter of the island then took the tram, but dunno why we din had the tram ride. Spent the entire morning walking & to make matter worst, it was RAINING!!! The breakfast was horrible & halfway through was oreadi famished! We bought to a shop where they served their delicacies on e island. Din buy anything from there coz its like squids, ikan bilis & many more... Those were more suitable for ppl who drink beer & eat them. But I did buy a packet of dried scallops for my sis-in-law to cook porridge for the 2 lil rascals at home.

钢琴博物馆 Piano Museum since I'm not muscially inclined so din bother to take any pictures of the 30 branded old pianos tat were on displayed.

Then we left the island & went for lunch. While waiting for the food to be served, witnessed a guy using a ladder trying to walk to ward the air-con compresser..... *crazy*

Then, we went to this beach where there's this really tall Ma Zhu statue (so called the Goddness of the Sea)

After that, we went for our C.C.C Gala Dinner.

^our new admiralty MP, Mr Vikram Nair

We were oreadi dead beat but the guide still told us to go for night-sightseeing.

random pics

City Hunter

2011-07-01T23:30:00.004+08:00

Been catching City Hunter after 49Days had ended and ever since, Greatest Love finished a week ago, the only current drama which I'm catching gotta be CITY HUNTER!!!!

There's suspense, actions, comedy & romance in it...
Another plus point gotta be the goodlooking actors & actresses!!!!

Lee Min Ho, Park Min Young, Lee Jun Hyak - the threesome fione looking ppl... The supporting casts were really great as well...

but anyway, too lazy to write anything about the drama coz I can't wait for the next one to be out since I'm at epi 12 only.... *sad*

Here's the MV - Its Alright by YangHwaJi Band (though the lead sounded really like LeeHongKi from FTIsand)

The next song called Suddenly by KimBoKyung, kept repeating in my head as well...

Xiamen 11th to 17th june Day1

2011-06-27T01:00:00.003+08:00

Took the China Airline plane @ 0810 & reached Xiamen like 12 plus. Quite a boring flight since no tv in front of my seat... anyway as soon as I reached there, drizzles was awaiting for us. We went sight-seeing immediately & got to know a couple more ppl on the ride.

Xiamen Overseas Chinese Museum 华侨博物馆
The Xiamen Overseas Chinese Museum is a comprehensive museum that highlights the history of overseas Chinese, and the only Chinese museum set up by overseas Chinese. Located at the foot of Fengchao (bee hive) Hill, the museum was founded by the eminent overseas Chinese philanthropist Chen Jiageng (Tan Kah-kee 陈嘉庚先生) in 1956 and opened to the public in May 1959. The museum covers an area of 50,000 square meters. Its main building, which has a construction area of more than 4,000 square meters, is a palace-style structure made of granites.

^remembered these junks boats from my sec 1 history textbooks

^My school - ChongFu Primary (orange flag)

^cut my longggggg hair a month ago liao....

actually, after we visited this museum, we went to SM shopping mall coz we din have lunch on plane, most of the ppl on bus were famished. Spent 1.5hr there & then brought to 华侨新村步行街. I broke my watch before I boarded the plane so for the entire I din have my watch with me. So I go to this 'high-end mall' (to them lah... its something like or Istean) to get a watch.

My poor right hand.... Its not really huge but its damn painful lor....
Luckily I have this Savlon antiseptic cream which I bought for my mum few months back.... & applied it really thickly!!!

It had the regionals so meaning there were 3 teams doing the singing. One of which defintely was the Glee team, though I found the boys group Warblers (Kurt was in it) singing the song Raise Your Glass really well-done too!! I LOVE the lead (Blaine) in that Kurt's school... *lol* Obviously, the New Direction went into the Nationals.

But anyway, this was the song sang by the New Direction.

New Direction - Get it Right
Listen to e 3.00 min... It was darn awesome!!!

After that above song, they sang Loser Like Me. These 2 songs were original songs.
New Direction - Loser like Me

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini

2011-02-27T13:11:00.003+08:00

Have I told U guys abt this previously???

Ok here it its.....

Remember I went to airport on 1st Feb tuesday, I put my phone Nokia N97mini in my pocket.
Normally, before CNY, there's always loads of the CNY greetings. Since quite a number of ppl knew I'll be away, they will sms me those greetings pretty early. Before I check-in, I still see my phone working prefectly. But while I was doing a lil shopping before I board, I found a lil weird coz NO ONE sms me....

Oddly, I brought out my phone, it was NOT working. It AUTO OFF itself. I tried to on back again, but e phone reamined blank!!!! Panicked with no choice, I had to get 1 phone in the airport. I went to the shop where they sold cameras & asked if they sell phones!! Lucky me, they do! I browsed through over & over again coz I din want o get an ex one! But those cheap ones cannot be used in Japan, with any choices, I got the cheapest among all, costing a wholesome of $315 without contract.

So I have been using this coming to a month, its defintely better that stupid N97. I realised after using nokia for sometime, I still think sony's phones are better!!!

Japan Day 5, 6 & 7

^My aunt wanted to see Dar in toilet coz my mum had been telling her how funny he was... so she asked me to upload & here it is...
This was taken when we were at the Gotemba Outlet.

Day 5
Ramen Mueseum

Japanese 'Guan Yin' Temple

^e silver container is their 'chiam', where u shake it & e stick drop out & u search e Number Boxes there. After U read it, throw away. I din try since I can't even understand japanese.

^I bought this PJ e last time I was in Japan. Dar can only wear it now... He looks really cute here, right?

Disneyland Day 6

^Saw this batman estima lookalike car....

^This naughty Dar kept wanting ppl to carry him, so I went to rent another pram for him.

^He din eat much for breakfast so made him a cup noodles. That cup noodles was so much better than e ones selling in S'pore.

^He wanted e tiger but mum was reclutant so got him that wizard mickey instead.

In fact, we stayed inside Disneyland for 3 hrs supposedly to pick us up at 6pm instead of 12. But I wanted to go shopping, so among with 6 others (tour guide, leader & 4 tour members), we set off to shinsu aka their orchard road. From Disney to shinsu actually needed 1.3 hrs. We had to take e train but around like half an hour, Dar started feeling sleepy. He slept thru in e train & my mum had to carried him all e way. Going up & down e stairs. (Japanese loves to walk coz in some station there wasn't any escalators. Imagaine carrying Alden all e time. She din want me to carry him coz after a while, he will slip down if I were to carry... ha)

So we reached there like 1 plus, wanting to eat our lunch, but Dar was still sleeping in my mum's arms. I went to OIOI to see any Agnes B bag available. My mum & Dar juz sat down onto e available resting area when I did my shopping. Got tempted by most of e bags, in e end, I got myself a black bag instead & a pink keychain which I used it to hang onto my bag.

^This is e bag I bought & together with e tag, its less than S$300. *Very happy with my purchase*

Day 7 (last day in Japan)

^In our hotel

^Pic on e left was e group that took SQ flight & some members had left coz their JAL flight was an hour earlier than us. Pic on right is dar, mum, emaily & me....

Though initially had some unpleasant stuffs going on, it was still a wonderful trip, even Dar cried wanting to go home.... ha...
anyway, would defintely go Japan again but this time free & easy tokyo will do coz changing hotels everyday is really a hassle especially with a toddler around....

Japan Day 4 & 5

2011-02-17T01:49:00.001+08:00

Continuing my updates today.....

Japan Day 4 & 5
*can't really remember which day we had visited, so save trouble, put these 2 days together.*

Super excited for us coz we went Mount Fuji on day 4.Unfortunately, my nikon camera's batt was running low, luckily I bought along e camcorder & recorded some videos while on e way to Mount Fuji....

^E voice behind my vid was Dany Heng, my Japan Tour guide, a Singaporean, living in Japan.

^If u're able to see e zigzagged lines, it was said to be the trekking route up to Mount Fuji during summer.

^we were at the 4th stop of Mount Fuji...

After Mount Fuji, we were brought to Gotemba Outlet. Lots of brands there, din really get myself anything except a Kate Spade wallet.

^Took a pic of Dar in e gotemba toilet.... He was very mad that I took e video & pic of him in toilet!!!

In the Ski Resort

^Dar lovessss to sing. His favourite show is Hi-5!! I practically have to buy 2 every month coz he watches till it got scratches!

Can't remember how long were we in e resort.... Then after that we went to e cafeteria to get some warm milk, unfortunately, there wasn't any except for coffee. & Dar said he was hungry after throwing e snow aka ice. I got him a plate of mui fan, costing like 10 bucks Sing!!!

Japan Day 3

2011-02-13T14:09:00.008+08:00

Updating my japan day before heading for a reunion dinner with my frens....

Day 3
After e gd night sleep, Dar became his usual self again...
Running & jumping around like a lil puppy (aren't boys like that?)...

We were brought to e Nara Deer Park 1st.

Deer is supposely to be tame & gentle but e deers there are really smart. E moment I placed my hand into my pocket, they'll think its food & every single one started crowding around me. Anyone who knows me how much I HATE animals with fur.... I practically run away sia.....

^The lady who is talking to Dar is e leader. We've become really good frenz now.

Next we went to Kyomizu Temple & e street was famous for its macha mochi (green tea mochi) which happened to be one of my favourite dessert. Bought a couple mochi but since its has a expiry date of consume within a week, I ate all of it le.... *hahah* But got e green tea chocolate back to be given to some of my frenz..(I'm good sia)

^Left is e toilet

Anyway, since e macha was good, I got mself an ice-cream, & bought another cone biscuit so Dar can share e ice-cream with me. Kids cannot tahan adults eating ice-cream one....

^Dar with his ice cream

After this, we took e bullet train to Tokyo.

We went to have our dinner before heading for our hotel Westin Nagoya Castle.

^E castle outside our room. Great hotel!! Love it!!

~end of Day2

Back....

2011-02-11T00:03:00.005+08:00

Finally, time to update my Japan trip....
Been really tired & busy, now I can squeeze some time out to do some updating...

Day 2 - 02/02

^Own expense meals - Lunch (left) Dinner (Right)
In fact, I din eat dinner at all, only mum & Dar coz I was feeling rather sick (vommitted due to e coffee I drank in Universal Studio).

^Hotel Universal Port (jux outside Universal Studio)

Basically there wasn't much me since I'm e photographer. My mum can't really handle camera.

Actually, tat very day was quite a sad day for us. We were the last to board the bus & we were (mum, dar & I) pacing up & down to search for the tour guide & leader. They actually brought the rest of the group up e bus, leaving us searching for them in Kansai Airport for e whole 15 mins.
I was quite unhappy for them to leave us there. They should really waited till everyone was available before bringing e rest up e bus.
To make matter worse, when we got up e bus, not a single seat was available for us. Its fine I din have e seat, but my mum & dardar, no seats available, immediately, my face turned really nasty! Can u believe a group of 37 excluding e guide & leader, they had a 40-seater bus?
Dun they know that guide & leader already taken up 4 seats since they need 2 seats each? This was e first time I ever encounter such ridiculous incident. I've been travelling for so many times, this was simply outrageous!!!!
In e end, 1 guy gave up his seat & sat beside one of the vacannt seat. That pair of seats I gave it to my mum & dar. In e end, I shared seat with e leader. I kept myself silence throughout e journey (airport to Universal Studio) since I knew, tat incident was unacceptable at all!!! While on e way dere, e guide made a call & called upon another bigger bus for e rest of e days in Japan. Then I gave it a rest & not to broach on anything.
During e night, after our own expense dinner, we were brought to Universal Port. Coz in e plane, we din have much sleep, mum wanted Dar to sleep early, unfortunatley, another incident occured.
This time, its was Dar!! He cried saying he wants to go home. When he started tearing, I teared too. It was heart-wrenching to hear he missed his mummy & saying he wants to go back S'pore. Its hard to console him & he actually cried himself to sleep. I called e leader asking if she was able to book a flight back to S'pore. Coz its was CNY eve, its difficult to get e tix. But luckily, Dar slept through e night & she suggested we waited till e following morning & gave her an answer e next day.

~end of day 2
will continue e updates other days bah.....

Man Utd 7 - 1 Blackburn

2010-11-28T10:48:00.003+08:00

Five-star Berbatov sends United top
Dimitar Berbatov joined an elite group of Premier League sharpshooters with a five-star performance as Manchester United demolished Blackburn 7-1 at Old Trafford.

Since the new league was formed in 1992, only Andy Cole, Alan Shearer and Jermain Defoe have scored five in a single game.

Berbatov joined that band on Saturday, scoring twice before half-time, then three more times after the break as United finally rid themselves of the shackles that have halted their progress this season.

It took the Bulgarian to 12 goals for the season and completed United's first seven-goal haul since the Champiosn League thrashing of Roma three years ago.

It took the Bulgarian to 12 goals for the season and completed United's first seven-goal haul since the Champiosn League thrashing of Roma three years ago.

More importantly, it sent them powering to the top of the table for the first time this season, giving a significant boost to their goal difference as well at the start of a month that includes meetings with both Arsenal and Chelsea in a potentially pivotal seven-day December period.

Seven days ago, Berbatov did not even make the bench for the victory over Wigan. Ferguson declined to come up with a plausible reason for omitting his record signing, stating only that he had been left out.

In midweek came an admission from the United boss that he was responsible for changing his team formation too much, leading to a dip in form by the Bulgarian, who had carried his side through the difficult early weeks of the campaign during Wayne Rooney's malaise.

So, Rooney himself was not the only one to be glad he is back.

And while the England striker still awaits a goal in open play, it took Berbatov just 71 seconds to find the net for the first time since his hat-trick against Liverpool in mid-September.

Rooney might well have scored himself but could only touch on Nani's left-wing cross. Berbatov made no mistake with a first-time shot.

It was a deflating experience for Rovers, as all their pre-match planning went up in smoke. Having called for an improvement in performance from his team, who have been scraping results in recent times, Ferguson must have been delighted at the forceful manner with which they approached their task.

They could easily have been further ahead before one of a series of surging Anderson runs allowed Ji-Sung Park to feed Rooney and race into the area to collect an excellent return pass and beat Paul Robinson with ease. The South Korean has turned into a valuable source of goals recently.

Berbatov would be a more reliable option though. And certainly, other than Rooney, there was no better man Pascal Chimbonda's backpass could end up at the feet of from a United perspective just before the half hour. The striker steadied himself and crashed home a shot which set the seal on his side's best half of the season.

It could have been more too as Nemanja Vidic should have headed home Nani's free-kick with the goal at his mercy and Berbatov had a reasonable penalty claim turned down in stoppage time. But if Sam Allardyce thought he had got off lightly, he was sadly mistaken as United scored twice within three minutes of the restart.

The first was magical from Berbatov. Releasing Evra with a deft back-heel, he collected the return pass, then sprayed a fabulous ball to Nani with the outside of his right-foot. Nani can be infuriating at times. On this occasion, he did everything right, driving Blackburn's desperate defence backwards before rolling a pass into Berbatov's path, inviting the finish that brought up his second hat-trick of the season.

Blackburn's defence was in meltdown and when Nani next took possession, he stepped inside Chimbonda before drilling a shot into the far corner.

For United - and Berbatov in particular - it was one of those days when everything went right.

It was no surprise at all when a Park shot that followed Rafael's cutback should be deflected into the 30-year-old's path.

Even when Berbatov was trying to supply others with opportunities, he profited. A pass to Rooney was blocked by Ryan Nelsen and from an acute angle, Berbatov beat Robinson for a fifth time.

Christopher Samba pulled one back for the visitors seven minutes from time, but understandably, he saw no reason to celebrate. Only United and Berbatov were doing that.

Manchester United 7 - 1 Blackburn Rovers

^caught this entire match & before the 6th & 7th goals were scored, the Utd fans had started singing this Christmas Carols. This year Christmas come really early for all Utd fans!!!!

新版《水浒传》- The New Water Margin

2010-11-21T11:15:00.006+08:00

I dunno if anyone knows that I'm kinda very into those ancient martial dramas by the China production. I especially loathed those by HK ones (only the ancient ones) coz I always find their acting, special effects & actors pretty fake.... *jux my personal thoughts though I adore their modern ones especially the forsenic 1 & 2*

Anyway, if not wrong, starting from next year, there will be a new drama known as 水浒传. Intially, I thought it was the Pan Jin Lian & Wu Song story (it was the lamest story I've seen) since most ppl at my age grow up watching that HK movie comedy, I was pretty reluctant to catch the trailers posted at AsianFanatics Forum. Anyway, I'm so so glad I did!!!! Here's the trailers, din say I din intro U guys one of the epic drama from China!!!!

Trailer Part 1 (Eng subbed)

Trailer Part 2 (Eng subbed)

2NE1 - GO AWAY [HD]

2010-11-11T21:13:00.003+08:00

2NE1 had just released their latest album & since this is one of my favourite groups from Korea, thought of sharing this video.

The Red-haired girl, Park Bom is my favourite girl in here!!!! In fact, she has a solo song in this album called You & I. Here's the mv:

Dramas 2

2010-11-02T21:57:00.003+08:00

Continue on my updates on the rest of the US dramas which I'm really into....

Criminal Minds
This is one of the best shows I have ever watched! My favourite drama among all....
Its about an elite group of profilers analyze the nation's most dangerous criminal minds in an effort to anticipate their next moves before they strike again. This team consists of Thomas Gibson(Hotch), Shemar Moore (Derek), Matthew Gray Gubler (Reid), Kirsten Vangsness (Penelope - the computer geek), Paget Brewster (Emily) & Joe Mantegna (Rossi). The search for the criminals will defintely keeps u in suspense!!! WATCH IT!!!! Its a MUST!!!

CSI: New York
This is just a spinoff of Crime Scene Investigations set in New York City. If u have caught the original CSI, its pretty much the same. Though I find this is the BEST among the other 2 series (the original Las Vegas & Miami), coz it has some humor in here. I especially like the Danny, Lindsay & Adam the most!!

CSI: Miami
The cases of the Miami-Dade, Florida police department's Crime Scene Investigations unit. I dunno if its just me or what, I find this current season (season8) is pretty bad.... Its like I've started to lost interest in this series..... But I still catch it weekly, at times I'll missed the episode too.

leaving for KL on thurs morning, be back on sunday..... *dun miss me - hahaha*

Dramas...

2010-10-26T22:58:00.006+08:00

Realise ever since the Korean drama Coffee House - starring Kang Ji Hwan & Park Si Yeon, ended, I stopped K-drama completely. No idea at all though I still catch up their entertainment news daily and their variety shows like 2Days1Nights and Running Man weekly.... Perhaps kinda sick of those same actors & actresses starring in dramas every few months...

So I have changed my attention to US dramas. In fact, I was into US dramas like many many yrs ago. I remembered I stated catching ER while I was in secondary yrs. (gosh that was so way back!) After that, Alley McBeal, Friends and later in the years japanese dramas. *haha* Japanese drama was really a short period of time though I enjoyed myself trememdously the recent drama known as Nodame Cantabile! (Catch it if U've time!!! Its funny & the classical music was AWESOME!!)

anyway, writing so much, was thinking to intro the new series I've been catching.

NCIS - Naval Criminal Investigative Service - was currently showing their 8th season in US now. I was really into it when they first came out & S'pore dun even sell the DVDs at all here till like few yrs back. The forensic scientist Abby is my favourite charcter in here. SHe's wacky & always came out lots of ideas to test on some experiments. Then the gullible,womanizing, class clown, Agent Anthony Dinozzo who always bullied the Agent Timothy McGee, a computer-savvy agent.

NCIS: Los Angeles - This seires came out last year. I did caught the first few episodes last yr due to Chris O'Donnell (he was Robin in the Batman Forever) but it wasn't as intriguing as the original NCIS. But few weeks ago, the 2nd season was out, I caught in pipi & this time round, the storyline was so much better coz they added a new guy - Detective Marty Deeks. He's one fine looking guy & his wicked sense of humour is a plus point in here!

WareHouse 13 - I caught this oso from pipi. This is really one of the out of ordinary series! *ha* Its about those ancient artifacts where they were under 'gong tao'(in hokkien) or 'black spell' and caused ppl to do evil. The 2 leads, Pete Lattimer & Myka Bering, were U.S Secret Service agents in here, trying to retrieve those supernatural objects and investigate reports on them.

Tat's all lah... as for other US dramas, will update in another days bah....

Jux came back from the Natas Fair in Expo....
Took the train to Bishan -> took the circle line to Paya Lebar -> then to Tanah Merah -> lastly to Expo...
U may think I muz have taken quite some time to travel on the train, in fact I took like less than an hour to go Expo.
If I changed at City Hall, I might take an hour & a half on the train...
anyway, first time to expo... *ha*
Its huge & seriously have no idea where the fair is since there's a furniture fair there too....
I jux followed the crowd..... *hahaha*

Book with SA Tours to Japan on 1st Feb 2011.... *afraid there's no more seats over that period*. Heard from the agents quite a number of ppl going on that date & the seats are pretty limited, so I went ahead to book it.

Ask quite a number of agencies on the phone, only SA Tours offers the best timing too & fro for us. Since next year, we can't celebrate LNY again, so I'll be bringing my mum as well as dardar!!! He's so so happy about it! I've to make sure the plane muz depart in the night & come back jux the right time for my mum to open the shop coz she said the 9th day is the hokkien ppl doing the praying.... *so troublesome*

I was debating between this trip & the Hokkaido. But since dardar is going with us, central japan seems to be a wiser choice.

2010-07-25T21:52:00.002+08:00

jux back catching 2 movies from cathay cineleisure....

Inception

CAST:-

Leonardo Dicaprio, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Marion Cotillard, Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy & Tom Hardy

In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a highly skilled thief is given a final chance at redemption which involves executing his toughest job till date, Inception. Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

Despicable Me

In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon. (Yes, the moon!) Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad. The world's greatest villain has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.

Watch 2 extreme movies for e day is kinda *can't describe* coz Inception is so serious & engagaing whereas Despicable Me is funny & light-hearted!
Though I enjoyed the movies, it proves to be tiring as well... *ha*

anyway, have a GREAT week ahead! National Day is coming in another 2 wks time!!!

Bored...

2010-07-18T19:51:00.002+08:00

Ever since the World Cup has ended, been feeling rather bored le....
No soccer & my hunkalicious men, life simply jus passed by with no colours at all... *haha*

EPL is coming up....
Thinking of subscribing it to MIO tv few days ago, till the papers written lots of customers still yet to receive any signals from Singtel....
Den read the comments posted in yahoo, lots of ppl are complaining about the poor service given by Singtel..... So now still hestitating to subscribe....
If I din subscribe, it will be the first time I din catch my EPL since I fell in love with soccer 15 yrs ago..... *haiz*
Stupid Singtel, why dun U take up StarHub offer to use their cable network??? *dun U think its a Win-Win situation*

This morning went to the bi-annual Garden Fest 2010 in Suntec....
I think its because I've seen the one in Korea, Everland, I think this fest was rather normal.....
Coz the ones in Korea are really flowers but the S'pore one has loads of leaves & trees.... *not as colourful to its pretty dull to me*
anyway, too lazy to post pics oso....

so have a nice week.....

Paul retires.....

2010-07-13T10:51:00.002+08:00

Paul the Octopus has retired itself from being a tipster. *haha*

Paul, the Octopus in an Oberhausen aquarium who has 'predicted' eight results correctly at this summer's World Cup finals, is to end his career as a tipster.

The octopus has been making 'predictions' for the outcome of World Cup games by taking a mussel from one of the plastic boxes in his tank emblazoned with the competing team's flags.

But, like all great performers, Paul has now decided to end his career on a high and will be going back to the day job.

"The intuitive inverterbrate will go into retirement and do what he likes to do best,"a Sea Life Oberhausen Aquariuam spokeswoman confirmed.

"Play with his handlers and delight children who come to visit him."

ps: my friends can stop calling sotong then......

Paul the Octopus is really accurate!!!! Spain all the way

2010-07-12T10:59:00.002+08:00

A pic says a thousand words....

I caught most of it coz when I woke up, 15 mins had already played. I would say its a really tight match, any team could be the winner! Howard Webb the EPL referee gave out countless of yellow cards (he's famous for that in EPL too) & the ned player, John HEITINGA, Everton defender, was booked with 2 yellow cards, ended up being sent out in the extra time.

^Andres INIESTA, who plays for Barcalona, scored at the 116th min, making Spain the Ultimate winner!

Iniesta puts Spain on top of the world

Spain...... David Villa!!!!

2010-07-08T10:39:00.002+08:00

Its Spain afterall....

Like I mentioned previosly, in my heart lies with Germany, but e Germans were so so lost in this morning match!!! They are like the equvialent to England & Argentina and the Spain is simply the mighty Germans.
Anyway, they did fought hard & keept pressing the spainards......

The Mighty Germans had brought us from the past matches - the true spirits of english football, playing with the flanks, attacking & defending hard and importantly, scoring!!!

As for the Spainards, do they deserve to be in the finals? Defintely YES from this morning match.
Spain was kinda out of place in the group stage perhaps trying to conceal their true ability but after this morning, they truly deserved this slot to wards the finals.
Its really sad for to see the coach brought in Torres to replace David Villa in the 81st min. Coz the lattar really rampant the german defence....

Puyol sends Spain into the Final

Highlight of the match

Puyol heads Spain into final

^the dejected & my no 7 - Bastian SCHWEINSTEIGER

Hopefully, I can stay/keep myself awake to catch Germany playing against Uruguay on sunday morning.... The last match for e mighty germans in e tournament!!

Holland in finals...

2010-07-07T10:20:00.003+08:00

yipee... Holland in the Finals!!!
Caught this morning match with a half-opened eyes... *haha*
But I did seen all the goals scored!!!
To be frank, I thought all of them (including the Uruguay) were awesome but my favourite goals gotta be by Giovanni VAN BRONCKHORST (18') & Diego FORLAN (41')! My hearted-player Wesley SNEIJDER also scored in the 70th min!!!! *joyous*

Uruguay played with their hearts out but too bad only 1 winner can go into the finals..

Highlights of the match

Oranje edge five-goal thriller

Sneijder overjoyed to reach final

Semi-finals coming up...

2010-07-04T21:58:00.002+08:00

7th July (Wednesday), 2.30am

Uruguay VS Holland

seriously have no idea who is going in but my guts lies with Holland.... coz I've a favourite player in Holland, he is none other than Wesley SNEIJDER, playing for Inter Milan too.

Wesley SNEIJDER

8th July (Thursday), 2.30am

Germany VS Spain

Being the Germans & Spainards fans, I'm being torn between these 2 countries....
I'm having this feeling that Germany is going through & will be the one, lifting up the cup again after twenty years....

Spain - XABI ALONSO, David VILLA, Cesc FABREGAS & Iker CASILLAS

Germany - Philipp LAHM, Bastian SCHWEINSTEIGER, Lukas PODOLSKI & Manuel NEUER

^ These are the players I adored tremendously....

Argentina 0 Germany 4

2010-07-04T00:02:00.004+08:00

The ridiculous title said it all....
Can't believe Argentina was beaten by Germany by 4 goals....
I mean this meant that Argentina is lousier than England since they did scored 2 goals (U have to admit that Lampard did score) against the gigantic Germans.....

But really glad that the germans are doing really well & we will defintely see them in the finals since Brazil is also out....
I was watching the match together with my dad & bro & kept emphaising that the no 7 in the German team is really good. They actually denied it while watching till he paved his way through the lousy argentine defence & passed the ball to Klose, who scored the german 3rd goal..... *bravo to my no 7*

Bastian SCHWEINSTEIGER

^ He is voted the player of the match for this particular match!!!

Disappointed with my favourite Agrentine player Higuain though, who is not at fault at all coz the midfielders couldn't feed him with the crosses as the germans are really tall..... But its alright since he still can take part in the next world cup & hopefully he can prove to be stronger over time...
Ferguson pls buy Higuain from Real Madrid.... *wishful thinkings....*

Rampant Germany oust Argentina

Germany pass Maradona test

Paaguay vs Spain...

2010-06-30T10:08:00.000+08:00

Its confirmed that Paraguay will be playing against Spain in the quarter-finals!!!
Paraguay beat Japan 5 - 3 on penalty coz one of the Japan played hit the top of the goal-bar...
No offense lah, Paraguay's penalty takers shot really dam* good penalty though the japanese goalkeeper actually went the right way a couple of times.... ALl of e goals were really strong & accurate...
Too bad for the japanese - they played well...
I think paraguay stand a higher chance in winning the match since they're more aggressive but their strikers are lousier!!!

^He was the last paragual penalty taker & sent them to the last 8!

Paraguay squeeze into the last eight

Highlight of the Paraguay vs Japan

************************************************************************************

One of my favourite teams, Spain made it through!!! I never see Portugal to be a threat of the Spainards since the only star player is Ronaldo.
David Villa (one of my favourite player too) scored the crucial goal @ 63min to put Spain through... Too bad I din stay up to catch the match...
Anyway, COngrats to them!!!

^That is David Villa

Villa ends Portuguese dreams

Highlight of the Spain vs Portugal

*************************************************************************************

Woke up & oso saw a disturbing news....
Park Yong Ha, the korean actor from Winter Sonata & On Air, was found dead this morning by his mother. It was said he hanged himself using a cellphone cords after taking lots of sleeping pills. He was suffering from depression.

RIP

Holland vs Brazil

2010-06-29T10:22:00.002+08:00

The title says it all.... another power-packed match...
Holland vs Brazil on 2 July, Friday, 10pm; Agrentina vs Germany on 3 July, Saturday, 10pm - both matches should not to be missed!!!

Jux this morning, Brazil eased past Chile with a scoreline of 3 to nil... *haiz*
Good result but I'm not really a fan of Brazil, I do like Kaka.... *puhaha*

Brazil inflict more misery on Chile

Hightlight on the match

Argentina through.....

2010-06-28T09:20:00.005+08:00

I was elated when I read e sms sent by my fren....
I know Argentina will defintely go through but winning 3 - 1 is kinda unexpected since Mexico isn't that bad. So meaning they'll have to meet Germany on this Friday, 10pm.... AS what I said, its gonna be a power-packed match!!!

Tevez shines as Argentina oust Mexico

Highlights of the Match

Its official that I'm a huge fan of Gonzalo HIGUAIN, Argentine player & also Real Madrid. Not only he is cute & young (turning 23 in Dec), he's really good. I'm crossing my fingers coz he may become e scorer in this tournament.

Higuain Profile

England bing send home....

2010-06-28T00:02:00.003+08:00

Jux done catching Germany vs England, very exciting 1st half.... & lousy England in the 2nd half!!!
Lampard has his goal disallowed jux before the half time mark & out of a sudden, England became so dejected after they came out from their break....
In fact, ppl who asked me, who will go through?
My ans: Germany though my heart lies with England.

^The goal obviously crossed the line but too bad it was disallowed

There's only 1 reason why England lost - Defence!!!
Without Rio Ferdinard seems like their defence simply break into pieces.
I'm starting to get worried for their upcoming Euro Cup & the next World Cup.
They dun even have a squad of good youngsters in their midfield neither in their defence also.
So England might be destinied to be like Italy or France for these couple of years. Start training your young players, England!!!!!

Germany was awesome!!! Their players are young & played with all their hearts out! Their next match will gonna be either Argentina or Mexico...
If they were to meet Argentina - its gonna be a power-house match!!!!
Either team can beat each other, there's no way gonna say who is better?
**** I want Argentina to win.... major supporter*****

Germany 4 - 1 England

^The no 13 Thomas Mueller is turning 21 in Sept.... He defintely has a great future ahead of him

Impressive Germany power past England

Korea being sent home....

2010-06-27T11:08:00.003+08:00

Korea was beaten by Uruguany in yesterday match...
Though they lost, they are still able to hold their heads high when flying back...
At least they are so much better than France & Italy (2 finalist in the 2006 World Cup)

But anyway, Korea 1 & Uruguay 2.... It wasn't a big difference so applause for Korea!!!

^The scorer Luis Suarez for both goals @ 8' & 80' min

Suarez double downs South Koreans

This is what the Uruguay coach, Oscar Tabarez said:

"Korea played a great game, but that slice of luck went our way, not theirs this time – that's football. It was a very hard-fought victory that took a lot out of us. The team's solidity and cohesion really came to the fore late on,"

^The dejected koreans

Reigning champions out....

2010-06-25T00:10:00.002+08:00

As wat U can read from my post, Italy is the latest team to take the earliest flight back home....
Its truly embarrassing as once they were considered to having Armoured Defence....
*now we can simply jux say its a piece of joke*

I love Italy when Paulo Maldini was still the Captain in the squard. Out of a sudden, Italy jux popped out players whom I had no idea of. Dun worry I know who Fabio Cannavaro is... *I used to adore him lor*

It seemed like their strikers & midfielders are lacking of stamina till the last 10 mins den Italy woke up from their nightmare.

But I gotta say Slovakia is really good. I heard the commentator mentioned Slovakia sent a young team over, trust me, they're going to be one of the top european country in the next Euro Cup 2 yrs from now.

But the down side of this match for these 2 teams was that, both teams should be awarded an oscar for their play-acting skills. They're even better than Ronaldo (pls dun tell me U dun know who he is).

Anyway, Congrats to Slovakia!!! They truly deserve the ticket to the next round!!!!

Champions dumped out

Slovakia advance, eliminate Italy

************************************************************************************

aiyoz as what I've predicted... England is playing against Germany.... This is going to be a tough match for the Britians. *Good Luck to them coz they also need plenty of it*

England....

2010-06-24T00:05:00.005+08:00

Though England emerged as the ultimate winner against Slovenia, their performance is still moderate..... *I din catch their 1st 2 matches coz its in e wee hours...*
Now I know why their fans booed them in the Algeria match....

I thought the first half of their performance was so much better... at least they are still attacking. After Rooney was brought down, basically as what the commentator said, the attacking died down. It was so so boring after he came off....
In fact it was Slovenia was the one doing the attacking.... Dun the England understand, a single goal can be so DANGEROUS!!!!! *haiz... dunno wat e hell are they thinking*

Slovenia 0 - 1 England

Anyway, US won as well coz they scored more goals they end up the first place in Group C, so England is second. Meaning they'll be playing against the first place in Group D. I'm actually crossing my fingers & started praying, in the hope Germany not to emerge e winner in Group D if not they will to play against England & England can actually LOSE!!!

ps: No offence for Herskey, why are U still inside the English team?

Argentina & Korea!!!!!

2010-06-23T09:31:00.004+08:00

Yippe my favourites Argentina & Korea, both from group B, emerged into the 2nd round!!!!

Argentina 2 Greece 0

Argentina scored 2 late goals (77, 89 mins) to beat Greece... Fortunately they beat Greece, if not Korea may not stand a chance...

Argentina beat Greece, book Mexico date

Korea came back after a goal down & in the 2nd half, the free kick by Park Chu Young, gave them e lead.... I jux caught e clip & Nigeria, had a lot of chances but din took them well... *luckily*
Anyway, bravo for their performances!!!

Koreans march on as Eagles crash

^go to this link to catch e goals

seriously, korea will be playing against Uraguay - defintely a difficult team to play agaist with... Good Luck (they need plenty of it)...

ps: Lionel Messi & Park Ji Sung (my favourite players from both teams) were selected as the Player of the Match in this morning games.

7 goals thrashing....

2010-06-21T21:58:00.001+08:00

Portugal isn't the team to win the World Cup but their 7 goals thrashing of North Korea, proved they are a team not to be underestimated....

Can't believe its only 1 nil in the first half & another 6 goals in e next 45 mins...

The scorers:-

RAUL MEIRELES (29')
SIMAO (53')
HUGO ALMEIDA (56')
TIAGO (60', 89')
LIEDSON (81')
CRISTIANO RONALDO (87')

Portugal notch magnificent seven

Glee epi 22

2010-06-20T12:57:00.003+08:00

Glee epi 22(finale) was out like few weeks already.... No time to catch it till today....
Really awestuck by their performance but too bad they din win...
So we'll be seeing more of Mr Sue battling out the cheerleader coach in season 2....

if case, U wanna know e outcome, just play it... *they sang a three-songs medley*

Disappointment....

2010-06-20T10:33:00.007+08:00

Been really busy for the past few days....
Set a BBQ for my students on friday & fortunately, all of them enjoyed tremendously... coz they eat & play in e playground, e rest of the bbq food was done by my bro, mum & a couple of my sec students....
My parents & my nephew joined us too... esoecially Alden Ong, he's really popular over there...

BBQ @ Vista Park 18 June 2010

^if they did well for their exam, I can hold another one also....
.

As for my title for this particular post, gotta be the world cup result......
My favourite England is getting from bad to worse....
As much as I love them, it seems they're lacking of sparks between all the players. Jux out of a sudden,they're so mediocre.... I'm thinking Capello has chosen the wrong players to play in the field. What's with Herskey & Crouch inside this team?? Filling them in the squad is fine but why did U let they play??? especially Crouch, he's more suitable to play basketball rather than soccer....

Toothless England held to a draw

^Fabio Capello shows his frustration against Algeria...
*U picked e players, so U cannot be angry with ur own players... get it?*

Not only England proved to be a disappointment, France is even worse than England...
They've yet to score a single goal & seen from e papers that France coach Domenech had kicked Anelka out of e World Cup.....
Another DUMB coach, coz he din know he needed Anelka to score. I think France will end up like e last World Cup where they lost & sent themselves packing in e group stages, without scoring any goal & Zidane, headbutting another player & got himself a RED card...*haha*
France is another major laughing stock in this tournament.

The next disappointemnt is Germany.... *haha*
They beat Australia 4 to nil but in their match, they lost to Serbia - Man Utd's defender, Vidic, playing in here.

^can U see Vidic in here? E top left-hand no.5 is Vidic

Klose from Germany, actually, gotten a red card for this match, meaning he cannot represent Germany for e next match against Ghana. A lil info, he was e top scorer in e last World Cup.... *haiz*

Argentina Win!!!!

2010-06-17T21:35:00.002+08:00

Argentina won & their no 9 striker Higuain even scored a hattrick....
Deep in my heat, I knew Agrentina will win but not a 3 goals difference....
They have better strikers & Lionel Messi, is pure delight to watch in this match...
Bascially, he dazzled round the korea defence in havoc.... especially korea defence is really the weakest link....
seriously, I think they'll have a difficult match up ahead against Nigeria.... *nigeria players are really fast*

^the hattrick striker Gonzalo Higuain

Argentina 4 - 1 South Korea

1st round...

2010-06-17T01:00:00.002+08:00

Basically, all teams have played their first match & later @ 2.30am will be e kick-off of the second round in e group stages...

There's joy & oso disappointment from my favourite teams....
Obviously, the joy gotta be Korea for beating Greece & the rest are disappointment... Though can't really say that for Argentina coz Nigeria is really a good team....

England - no matter how I see, I think they're able to deliver but their road is defintely tough.

Spain - wat can I say.... Losing to Switzerland is clearly a pure ultimate shame to them.... Being the previous Euro Cup winner & having a team of great talents, is defintely a laughing stock...

Fernandes stuns favourites Spain

So, I'm praying really hard for the rest of the teams to brace up to emerge e winners in their group stages.

ps: Later in the evening @ 7.30, I must really be in a fix....
Korea VS Agrentina - who should I support? I want both teams to win but it won't happen..... *vexed*

Korea 2 Greece 0

2010-06-12T23:12:00.005+08:00

jux finished the Korea & Greece match... wat can I say????
I'm practically ecstatic over it especially from my favourite player Park JiSung....
He actually put the greece player to shame....
Greece, being one of the Euro Cup winner, losing to a Asian team.... its purely unforgivable.... but this means Korea has improved so much.

South Korea earn valuable win over Greece

But my happiness is kinda shortlift coz caught the Agrentina & Nigeria match...
I know I set my mind on Argentina & don't expect Korea to beat them, Nigeria whom I thought Korea may stand a chance, was otherwise....
The Nigeria goalkeeper is good man... He has put away several of Messi shots away... If not Agrentina would have been like 3 or 4 goals up against them...
But nvm, Korea between Argentina will be on next thurs (no hope of them winning) but hopefully, they can be the underdogs to beat Nigeria & progress to the 2nd round. As for Greece, they dun really stand a chance of beating the other 2 teams.

World Cup 2010

2010-06-09T22:34:00.003+08:00

World Cup 2010 is coming in another 2 more days...
Are U getting ready for this event?? I sure am!!!!

My favourite teams:

Argentina

Spain

England

South Korea

I know south korea don't stand a chance in going into the 2nd stage but I'll still rule for them!!!! & England's chance of lifting the cup is pretty slim too.... *haha*

ps: spain coach pls make sure ur players shave....
their good-looks is really a plus point for me.... *keke*

PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME

2010-06-05T23:55:00.003+08:00

just caught this & all I can say, I'm pretty much being entertained by the gorgeous Jake Gyllenhaal....
The 'sand' part looked pretty similar like those 3 Mummy movies...

The down side of the movie is I dun get it why the actors & actresses in this movie had British accent in them... *keke*
anyway, some parts are a snore but its still worth a watch....

Set in the mystical lands of Persia, PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME is an epic action-adventure about a rogue prince (JAKE GYLLENHAAL) and a mysterious princess (GEMMA ARTERTON) who race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time—a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

Officially hooked!!!!

2010-05-31T12:08:00.006+08:00

Glee

2010-05-24T23:42:00.003+08:00

Been watching the few episodes of Glee & really gaga over it....
Their songs are FANTASTIC!!!!
especially the 1st epi where they sang Don't stop believin' was simply awesone!!!
Because of that song, I officially hooked with that drama.....

In case U have no idea, t will be showing on channel 5 next wed, 10pm...
Here's the song I found it on youtube. Watch this clip before U watched e entire epi.

^The lead male singer is Finn, lead female singer is Rachel, followed by the asian girl is Tina, the black girl (awesome as well) is Mercedes, the other guy who is a gay in tat role is Kurt & the guy in wheelchair is Artie. Last but not least,e man in blue long-sleeved is their teacher-in-charge Will.

Listen & watch it... this song protrayed by them is really good.

Lee HyoRi

2010-05-20T22:59:00.004+08:00

Lee Hyori, is currently the HOTTEST female singer in Korea. Everyone knows her name & she is one of the appointed artists in this year addias advertisements! Anyway, love her latest album H-logic & her 3rd song Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is playing non-stop in my car. So I thought why not post her current hot performance here.

Planning to see doctor on mon coz e cough has become more severe....
Its turning something like asthmatic cough...
E moment I started coughing, I won't stopped till I had some warm water..... & normally, after e cough, I'll become pretty weak.... * no matter home, I'll defintely see e doc on mon*

Hihi....
I know its been a rather long time since I 've updated. Been really busy coz have tonnes of housework chores for me to do...
Morning have to drive dar-dar to school, put e clothes to hang & vacuum & mop e floor,...
& in e night, have to put those dirty laudries into e washing machine, packed dar-dar's school clothes & e thing I loathe most!!! FOLD CLOTHES... *ha* Seriously, I really have no idea why I hate folding clothes that much & in actual fact, I like mopping e floor as well as ironing my clothes.... *haha pretty weird I know heee*

My last post I was still hestating abt e pc, in e end, e following day (mon) I went to Courts to get myself another Acer costing $999.... I was pretty much satisfied with e deal!!!! *yipee*
.
.
.
.
.
But I was unwell for e past 2 weeks too...
Intially, I had sore throat but I din go to see a doc, slowly, I started to get running nose... *I've nose allergy*
I simply just popped in flu tablets & drank e sore thorat medicine my dad got me.... I get better in like few days time, but e sore throat became cough.... Ending I had to cough e entire night with no phlegm..... *haiz* Till now, my cough still persists.... However, yesterday night came out really bad....
Out of a sudden, I was running a really high fever & been coughing non-stop.... It was pretty late & no intention to see doc coz everyone in my family was too tired neither do I had e energy.... So I just popped fever tablets again & started shivering.... I was already asleep before 10.... *This gotta be e earliest I slept in this yr*
But anyway, today is my baby niece Averyl Ong's baby shower month....
Had to pop in 4 tablets (fever, flu & bones ache) if not I will be half dead for this afternoon event.... I slept again like 930am before waking up 2 hrs later.

Below are some pics taken this afternoon....

Some pics solely on Averyl:-

The famous Petronas Twin Towers and the Suria KLCC Shopping Mall are in the city centre. Spreading out from the city centre are other destinations--for shopping (Parksons, Marks & Spencer), entertainment (Philharmonic Orchestra Hall), dining (Ampang Area), and business.

monitor crashed....

2010-04-08T22:48:00.004+08:00

haiz.... dunno why out of a sudden my screen went buzzing & buzzing yesterday...
I could not even watched one of my current favourite series Bones properly...
no choice I changed my monitor to my old one which I've not been using for e past 7 yrs...
in fact, i dun even think it can work at all....

But But But, it actually works!!!
though it can be used, e screen is so near at my face that i swear, my myopia is defintely going to rise!!!

So i started surfing e net around & saw this desktop selling really cheaply @ only $859 at Courts....
I'm actually pondering should I get it or not...
Loads of ppl kept telling me to get a laptop instead, but seriously ppl, why should i need a laptop??? its not like i need to bring a laptop along.....

ACER M1800-66M25
