Scream 4

Being a fan of the Scream franchise, I was beyond excited when I found out about Scream 4 last year. I was doubly glad when I found out that it opens here when it officially opens in the U.S. Yey!



In my excitement, I was actually checking for tickets online since about a month ago but since it's not as popular as the Harry Potter franchise, I had no luck.

I was able to finally book tickets last Wednesday and I insisted on watching it the first day, April 15.





My movie mates (8 of us) all met up at Golden Village in time for the midnight screening and it was one scary, thrilling and funny ride. The opening sequence of the film was brilliant and one-upped the very famous Drew Barrymore opening sequence and although watching the last part of the film feels as if you're watching another film altogether, I still enjoyed the movie all in all. (click here for Screenrant's review).

I actually had apprehensions when I read that they brought in another writer to do some rewrites. I've been a fan of Kevin Williamson (@kevwilliamson) since Dawson's Creek and Teaching Mrs. Tingle and I would've preferred that his original vision and material for the film be untouched but I'm glad the movie still turned out great. Now, I'm all the more convinced to finally start watching The Vampire Diaries.

Starz Lunch Buffet Promo

Early Saturday, we trooped all the way to Resorts World Sentosa to try the lunch buffet at Hard Rock's Starz. Now, you have to understand that Sentosa is quite far, but what prompted us to go there is the promo we saw online. They are offering a one for one lunch buffet and we'll end up paying just roughly $23 each.



But we were wrong. It turns out that the one for one promo is only valid on weekdays. We contemplated on just leaving because we were misinformed but since we were already there, we decided to stay.

I made the reservation the previous day, I called their reservations hotline twice and not once was I told about the validity of the promo, not even when I specifically asked about it.

I talked to three persons in the restaurant but they told me that there's really nothing that they can do. The last person I talked to said that it's a common issue that there's a disconnect between them and their reservations hotline. They eventually offered to just not charge one of us. Truth be told, still not good enough.

I called the hotline when I got home and I was informed that she'll personally look into the case and will have this escalated. I was told that they'd call me back after doing the necessary investigation. It's been 4 days and I have not heard back from them.

Let me just say that it's really a bad business practice and we're really all disgusted.

The Wait is Almost Over

Almost one year ago, the teaser poster for Scream 4 was released (see entry here).

I'm excited that the film will be opening in just 4 days.



Entertainment Weekly also came up with a Scream Returns article. Must get a copy also.

HEAT - Buffet Breakfast

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Up to now, I still get excited at the thought of getting to work early and enjoying a quiet breakfast before I start my busy day.

I don't find it weird if friends invite me to meet up with them to have breakfast. Rhommel and I had a breakfast date at Richmonde while Jencarps and I met up at Heaven and Eggs when I was in Manila last January.

It's also not a secret that I love buffets. The thought of a breakfast buffet actually makes me ecstatic and one of my favorites is HEAT's.

They have a very wide selection, in fact, they have way more than some of the lunch and dinner buffets that I've been to.

Think of one thing that you'd like for breakfast and chances are, they have it such as egg cooked your way and an assortment of cereals.





There are pancake, waffles, crepes and french toasts.





For those wanting some Filipino fare, they have puto and turon.



Sinangag, itlog na maalat and some Filipino dishes (tapa, tocino, bangus) to go with the carbs.





Congee, noodles, dimsum, and even taho are also there.









If you're up for some Japanese goodies, don't fret as they are also available.



There are also a lot of hot dishes to choose from, there's a carving station as well as cold stations for those watching their weight.















The stars of the buffet for me are the ensaymada, doughnuts and pandesal. The pandesal was so good that I had to come back several times for more. I talked to the chef who told me that they actually make their own pandesal.





Last but not that least are the desserts and while they don't have any cakes, the sorbetes style ice cream and fruits are more than satisfactory.

Pics Post: Shobe, Ai and Arianna

I have a couple more Bangkok posts but I'll work on them another day.


My cousin, niece and my aunt were recently here for a visit and it was a sure fun way to spend my weekend instead of my usual routine of staying in bed the whole day.

We went to a few tourist spots, Singapore Zoo, Marina Bay Sands Sky Park, Singapore Flyer and Universal Studios.

Most important of all, we did a lot of eating!






While tiring, we all had a great time. It was indeed a weekend well spent.
