A month had passed since the 04S3A people last met during the New Year. Me, zc, zy, les, low, quek, john and marcus went for a movie outing at PS to catch Babel. Had lunch with marcus. (the rest had taken already lol) Later low and john came and had their late lunch.
As usual, zc was late...or rather late~ =p But then he was still early for the movie! Anyway, Babel has the essence of Crash in it. However, Babel takes it with a different time frame for different scenes. Moreover, the link of the whole story was quite far-fetched, or is it just me? From a US couple, to a illegal Mexican maid with 2 of the US couple's children, to 2 Moroccan boys, to a Japanese man with his deaf-mute teenage daughter - all linked directly...or indirectly. However, the messages that were supposed to be brought across was quite clear. For example, the grossly exaggerated stance on the firing of the US woman by the government who are quick to label it as the act of terrorists. Also, the desperate urge for attention, which gone wrong, of the disabled Japanese teenage girl due to the lack of societal acceptance. Overall, I feel that the movie was abit random and I thought it was an impromptu script-writing. lol I rate it 7.5/10.
That aside, low just bought les a 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and me a 'Final Fantasy X' poster each from his OCS training trip to Thailand. Thanks for that...really appreciate it! =)
CNY is around the corner and I haven't prepared or bought anything to welcome the Year of the Pig! hmmm....
