Trying to keep Mr Sandman away

Gosh.. I knew this was going to happen... trying to beat of the zzzz.. is so difficult. Was asked to join my colleagues at the Yong Tau Foo place at Jalan Tun HS Lee. This was actually blogged by Patrick some time back. Since Gluttony is one of my biggest and deadliest Sin.. I had to be true to myself. So I ordered 10 pieces and stuffed them all in and topping it up with a glass of iced chinese tea. Now, I feel like I am going to even fall asleep even while standing up.

Decided to "steal" some office time and surf abit. Looked up the movies that were coming up and ticked off some as "I want to see them at the Cinemas and NOT on DVDs" films.



Topping off the list will be Resident Evil.
Resident Evil: Extinction is again based on the wildly popular video game series and picks up where the last film left off. Alice (Milla Jovovich), now in hiding in the Nevada desert, once again joins forces with Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps), along with new survivors Claire (Ali Larter), K-Mart (Spencer Locke ) and Nurse Betty (Ashanti) to try to eliminate the deadly virus that threatens to make every human being undead…and to seek justice. Since being captured by the Umbrella Corporation, Alice has been subjected to biogenic experimentation and becomes genetically altered, with super-human strengths, senses and dexterity. These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive.
