MOVIE REVIEW: Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist

Just got back from the premier movie screening of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist  organized by Nuffnang Singapore. The screening was held at The Cathay and as it was a last minute decision, we basically rushed to the cinema to catch the movie with the rest of the Nuffnang Bloggers.

Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, originally a book by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, is now a movie. Nick (Michael Cera), the only straight band member of “The Jerk Offs” has recently been dumped by his hot girlfriend, Tris (Alexis Dziena). Nick believes that he can win her back by sending her special songs on CDs that he has mixed just for her. Nick has sent her about 10 CDs, but Tris only throws them in the trash.

However, Tris’ best friend, Norah (Kat Dennings), has retrieved most of them, and she loves them. Norah has never met Nick, but the music he loves touches her heart. Norah and her friend Caroline are at a nightclub where “The Jerk Offs” are playing, and Norah is attracted to Nick while he is playing his guitar. Tris shows up at the same club with her new boyfriend. Norah doesn’t want Tris to think that she is dateless, so she asks Nick to pretend to be her boyfriend for 5 minutes and gives him a big kiss. Then Tris tells Norah that Nick is her ex-boyfriend. Now that Norah has Nick, the heartless Tris decides that she now wants him back.

A night of searching for the band “Where’s Fluffy” ends up with one of these girls winning Nick’s love. (more…)

St. Louis Pork Ribs @ Cafe Cartel

While I was in Singapore, I was told of a nice place to go for dinner that I’d simply love. So without much delay it was off to Tampines Mall for dinner.

Walked around the mall, we came up to Cafe Cartel and right smack at the entrance, I saw this huge poster saying St. Louis Pork Ribs. PORK RIBS! WOO HOO!!! Anyway, that was just how my heart was screaming but on the outside, I was as cool as a cucumber. We walked right in, told the waitress that we need a table for 2 and promptly got ourselves seated. That was as far as good service goes as it took them a good 15minutes to come and take our orders, not that we were not ready but because no one seems to be bothered to look at the direction of their customers especially me even when I was waving my hands holding their menu at them like crazy.

Nuffnang SG Gathering & Surprise Advance B’day Celebration

The Venue

20th September – with 5 Malaysian and 1 1/2 Malaysian, it was a small gathering of Malaysian Nuffnang bloggers in Singapore, well… not really. There was 15 of us that night so you can do the maths and know how many Singaporean Bloggers are there too. The youngest ones being 14 years young. I remember at that age, my mummy would have told me to stay home at night and don’t go out late. LOL

The bloggers – Singaporeans and Malaysians collide

Anyway, it was fantastic to meet up with these bloggers and they even have a surprise for me, a very advance one (2 weeks ahead of the actual date - OCTOBER 6). I knew something was amidst when StrippedSteph and Nuffy-Cherie was whispering away and then BossMing comes up to me and ask me whether I was my birthday. I was like… “eh….. there’s someting fishy going on here…… why Ming suddenly pop this type of question wan? When knowing well we’re here for a small gathering of bloggers from Malaysia and Singapore.” (more…)
