Caught this movie thanks to my sis's pair of movie tickets for Cathay. She's enjoying herself in Sydney now... Oh well... Couldn't guess anything much from the poster initially, only saw Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Gardner (yeah baby!) holding rifles.
The plot is actually more than what you think. The initial credits were choreographed amazingly. Love the way they manage to compress 70+ years of history about oil + US + Saudi Arabia + terrorism all into a nice 2D package. Simply said, terror strikes right in the heartland of Saudi, blowing up US ppl living there. US too afraid to act, Jamie Foxx and his team of FBI march straight in to set things right and kill the bad guys. =)
A few more movies to catch soon.. Golden Compass, I Am Legend, etc..
This week's going to be pretty busy. AM EXTREMELY busy preparing for my japanese exam this sunday. Don't think I'm going to make it this time... There's too much to study.. Tml's my company D & D and everybody (i think) is going to dress up! Next week my siu mui, Alice, from HK office is coming to SG! And we'll be having a nice farewell dinner with my German colleague, Andreas who's heading off to London and Frankfurt soon. Phew~
That's all for now! Chill~

HERO!
Today's pretty packed for me~ Went to Changi in the morning for a Japanese cultural quiz at the Japanese School. Ash was the one who told me about the event. It's a 150 MCQ quiz and i think the top prize is a trip to Japan! =)
Arrved 15 mins before registration and I could see some ppl burying their heads in books on culture and history of Japan. I was like "!!!!" It's only a quiz yah, nothing much you can do to prepare you for this. In the end, there were questions like population of Japanese living in Singapore, S'pore's population density is how many times more than Japan. Glad I could answer the questions on anime, food and transportation system in Japan. Heh, pays to visit Japan!
Met Princess at Orchard for a bit of shopping and I bought the Gatsby Moving Rubber styling wax! Gonna learn how to style my hair to the "Out-Of-Bed" Look. ;) Caught Hero later thanks to the pair of free tickets I won at my company's fire drill quiz. Hero's not bad, even if you dun understand Japanese, the English and Chinese subtitles are quite accurate. Kimura Takuya and one of my fav Japanese actresses Takako Matsu are simply great. One of the more memorable characters in the movie was the bartender in their usual watering hole. Cool demeanor, silent but yet very thoughtful in the end. ;) Catch it while you can!

Here comes the bride, all dressed in white!
Just came back from my sis's ROM at Labrador Park. Really nice place but the sky was threatening to rain so the ceremony was held as soon as the JP arrived and had a reception indoors in a private room later.
My sis, finally married, *tears from eyes*~ Aww.. The restaurant there totally sucked. First, no English spoons for the fried rice. Then small plates (which were 1 standard size, according to the manager) but later I saw bigger plates used by the guests eating outside... -_- Then no small spoons for the mango pudding in the shooter glass. The manager insisted eating it like drinking a shooter, but after I asked the manager to show me how, he reluctantly went to get some small spoons for us, much to the relief of the other guests. Took some shots over there and will upload them, with my sis's permission. Stay tuned!
On another hand, I caught Stardust, Lust Caution and Beowulf recently and they were entertaining. Stardust is your typical romantic comedy. Claire Danes was not bad as a fallen shooting star but the real star was Robert de Niro as a act-tough-but-actually-a-wussy pirate captain. =) Catch the part where Claire tries to describe what Love is. ;)
Lust, Caution's a period war show but it focuses on the steamy relationship between Wang Jia Chi (Tang Wei) and Yee (Tony Leung). Wang's a spy for the resistance faction who is supposed to assasinate Yee who's working for the Japanese during Japan's occupation of Shanghai. Much hype about the R21 version and I finally realized why Carina Lau, long time gf of Tony Leung, would be flaring mad with him. LOL
Beowulf's an animated action / comedy film but the animation was done pretty well, initially letting me believe that it was acted by human beings. Story's about how a monster slaying hero becomes king but falls prey later to a seducing water demon. (Angelina Jolie!)
