Things that had happened yesterday... ...
Was quite reluctant to wake up in the late morning for some exercise but still manage to drag myself off my THICKER-THAN-THE-CAMP'S bed. When I start to do some sit-ups on the sit-up bench, a thought struck me - I didn't bring along my socks (but I had brought down my shoes in the shoe bad though). How forgetful of me. All I can say was that's what will happen to your mind when you wake up early in the morning of a weekend. ("Early" is relative here. To me, waking up at 10am on a weekend is considered early. Lol)
Went to check out the timings for Pirates of the Caribbean - The Dead Man's Chest and Lady in the Water. Yup, you should have guessed that I am catching 2 movies in a day. Haha (think this was my first time) Was quite stressed when the seats of the POC was filling up each time I refreshed the page. It's kind of hk to come down all the way from suntec (with his gf along as well) to present his SAFRA membership card so that we all could enjoy the $1.50 off. Thanks ah! Actually zy, low and I had decided to watch the 16 40 show (same as hk and his gf) but they left single seating only, so had to change to 17 25. This shifted the timing of my plan. Sigh. SCDF had taught us well to be flexible. Haha Had to change the meeting time for the rest who were watching LITW from 19 30 to 20 00. It's quite a time-beating challenge as we only have about an hour to have a quick dinner before the movie screens at 21 10.
Bought some drinks with zy before meeting low to watch our first movie of the day. POC was less fascinating compared to the first part of the trilogy-to-come. The conclusion was uncalled for. It seems that the scriptwriter was enjoying writing the story such that he overwrote it, so he had to cut it into 2 parts. I guess the 'coming' (everybody feels that there'll be a third one) sequel will be inextricably linked to the second. There was not much of an action but more of a story telling about getting a key to open a dead man's chest. The best point about this movie was perhaps its cinematography. Shrugs. Anyway, I rate it 6.5/10. Anyhow, was quite disturbed by the sms-es and calls I received throughout the movie. lol
Managed to get hold of the rest after they part to their separate ways when they arrived. Had dinner at BK cause the rest of the restaurants/fast food was packed with people queuing or eating. Went to buy some quick bites for Kevin cause he had not ate his dinner yet. (and I presume he didn't have his breakfast and lunch as well. Lol) Quite guilty for Kevin to come even though he got injury (or something along this line) on his left shoulder. Get well soon ya. M. Night Shyamalan is quite different from other writers. His stories were unique in the sense that he made use of some far-fetched plot to unravel the underlying theme of his that was the bad things about mankind. LITW was an interesting one as a traditional folktale came to reality. Also, all of the characters were unique in their own way. The bad things were the audio went flat most of the time and part of the mic can be seen at the top of the screen (if anyone noticed it...). There was also a tinge of humour throughout the movie. I rate it 7/10.
