Bored in Singapore~
(Friday, July 25, 2008/9:59 PM)
Peeps who have me on their MSN contact list would know what's on my mind lately. Seriously, what is there to do in Singapore? I'm terribly bored for these 3 months of school break! I feel kinda guilty that most of my friends took up part-time jobs, whereas I'm slacking at home. Maybe that's why I feel so bored cos' I've got nothing to occupy myself. =S
Ivan summed up the entertainment culture of Singapore in 4 simple categories: Food, shopping, sports and computer games. Food -- I'm not picky about food, neither am I a gourmet who chases for perfection in food. And anyway, there's only so much food that my stomach can take. Shopping -- I don't shop for real often, perhaps quarterly, when I need a new shirt or 2. Sports - Nah, not for me. I used to play basketball cos' it was the common factor for Team AY to bond with one another. Now, I just can't find any reason to continue doing so. Computer games - I seemed to have lost my passion which I had 8 years ago *shrugs*.
So there u have it... An utterly bored Benedict rotting at home *lol*! Maybe I should have tried finding a part-time job, but it would be hard to commit with my Japan trip smack in the middle of the holidays and having driving revision and test. Ok... I admit... I'm plain lazy. =P
Still!!! I wanna complain about Singapore's entertainment culture! I mean... In Japan, the Japanese are spoilt for choice. Disneyland and Universal Studios are tons more impressive than Escape. They can take day-trips to hot springs spa resort, beautiful lakes and temples. We can go to errr... Sentosa? Way out of league, man! Tho' I got no clue why foreigners love Sentosa so much when they can get much better back home. But I think it's unfair to put Singapore up for comparison with the world superpower of Japan. I guess I just have to be glad that I live in a country with low crime rates and free from natural disasters?
Luckily, I have online Japanese dramas to keep me occupied and for J-Dorama enthusiasts, here's some of the dramas which I watched recently and would like to recommend!
Kazuya may not be the best Japanese actor but his exuberance and exaggeration of his facial expressions and vocal tone would cause the most aloof viewer to crack up uncontrollably. The storyline is intriguing as well. A boxer loving a nun? Just by thinking about this love concept without watching the drama yet, u're bound to think of possible disastrous scenarios which the 2 star-crossed lovers would face! Haha, definitely worth watching!
Another funny, light-hearted drama would be Nobuta wo Produce. Kazuya assumes the role of the charismatic male lead again, but in my opinion, the real standout star in this drama is Yamashita Tomohisa, otherwise popularly nicknamed as Yamapi. He acts as the resident joker and buddy of Kazuya. He's so darn funny, even by my strict standards. If u fail to laugh at his antics, u must have lost ur funny bone along the streets. =D And Maki Horikita is still as kawaii as ever, even if she acts as an antisocial girl without fashion sense! ^^
Give J-Doramas a try if u find urself idling for hours in a day. It's a great outlet to kill time! Anyway, I'll be going for my third colonoscopy screening procedure again tomorrow. Oh God, I hope this problem of mine would be resolved before I go back to school. For my buddies in W429, please keep me in ur prayers! ^^
