Saturday afternoon saw me going to the Career 2009 & Education 2009 exhibition at Suntec Singapore with Luffs. The fair focused on not just jobs but also education and skills upgrading and of course we were there in the hope that Luffs can get a job.


Before that, lunch was settled at the Joaquim Buffet Restaurant - Porridge buffet! It costs $12.80 nett per pax which I think was quite reasonsable because the restaurant offers an extensive spread of local porridge accompaniments! The buffet only starts at 11am but the place was already quite crowded when we got there slightly after 11.30am.

After lunch, we proceeded to Level 6 for the job fair. We have already pre-registered ourselves online so we did not have to fill in the registration forms when we got there.

The most popular booths at the exhibition were the Marina Bay Sands and the Resorts World Sentosa booths. Guess tourism must be the ‘in’ thing now!

Luffs and I took the opportunity to enquire about the Masters course offered by the various institutions there - We spoke to people from SMU and SMa who offers MBA awarded by Murdoch University, Australia. No decision was made but at least we have a better idea on the whole Masters thingy.

We walked around Suntec before heading home at about 3.30pm to catch Shutter which I have recorded the night before.


Shutter is a 2004 Thai horror film by Banjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom; starring Ananda Everingham, Natthaweeranuch Thongmee, and Achita Sikamana. It focuses on mysterious images seen in developed pictures. The film was then remade as the 2008 American film Shutter.

(Synopsis from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutter_(Thai_film)

“ After celebrating a drinking party with his closest friends in Bangkok, Tun (Ananda Everingham) and his girlfriend Jane (Natthaweeranuch Thongmee) get into a car accident. Jane hits a girl and Tun does not allow her to get down from the car. The couple drives away leaving the girl behind. Meanwhile, Tun discovers mysterious shadows on his photographs. Jane thinks that the girl who they hit on the road is haunting them while Tun dismisses the idea. Tun then begin to experience severe neck pains after the accident. Meanwhile, Tun's friends are also haunted by this mysterious girl and Jane begins to investigate about the girl. She finds out that the girl was Natre (Achita Sikamana), a shy and weird girl who studied with Tun in college. After confronting Tun, she realized that Natre and Tun were in a relationship. Tun kept their relationship a secret and when he broke up with her, Natre threatened to commit suicide. Tun and Jane then visits Natre's mother and they find decaying body of Natre in her bed room. They realized that Natre had committed suicide. Meanwhile Tun's friends have all being murdered by Natre and Tun feels that he will be the next.

Tun is also then haunted by Natre. He almost falls from a building but survives. Jane meanwhile told Tun that Natre's funeral will be held the next day and everything will be back to normal. After holding the funeral, Tun and Jane returns back to Bangkok. Jane then discovers some photos and find Natre's shadowy figure in the pictures. She then finds that Natre is trying to reach something in the picture. She then finds some old photographs where Tun's friends are forcing themselves on Natre. Disgusted by the image, Jane leaves Tun.

Tun meanwhile takes pictures with his shutter and in rage when he doesn't find her he throws the shutter across the room the impact of the shutter hitting the floor takes a photo of himself with Natre draped over his shoulders -- which explained his neck pains and extra weight. He then jumps out of the building. Jane then visits him in the hospital and finds Tun in a critical state. At the end of the movie, we see Natre is still clinging on his shoulder meaning she will never leave him. ”

People who know me well enough will know how I am like when I watch horror movies. HAHAHA! Well, it is the same this time - While watching the show, I …

Screamed my lungs out!

Closed my eyes!

Covered my ears!

Overall, it was a nice show.

Thank you Luffs for watching it with me even though it was his third time watching Shutter.
