007 doesn't mind, does he?

Hello! So, I'm back in Singapore... and leaving for Indonesia today! Haha. The past 2 days have been rather great. 2 days ago, I went for the Japanese Exchange programme thingy and interacted with some Jap students. Thanks to Steph Ng for getting me a slot :) Eh despite the language barrier, we managed to communicate with 'Tarzan' language, and for my case, through drawings. The students are grouped and sent for different activities. So for my case it was drawing. Despite falling into the same group as the irritating group of ACJC boys *cough cough*, me and 2 other people managed to get another table. Which mean I didn't have to interact with the rowdy group of boys (ugh, i hate them).

Haha here comes the crazy thing which I did. I... watched... Casino Royale for two consecutive days. That's right... TWO consecutive days haha. Yes yes I'm kinda crazy. Hmm, the first time I watched it, I was really smitten by the amazing blue-ness of Daniel Craig eyes. Ooolala. (You know that I'm such an eye person haha). The second time I watched it.... I was more crazy about his eyes hahaha (not to such an insane level though). I remembered there's one scene where at his back was the sea, and so I was comparing his eyes with the sea. Oh my gawd.. their colour was amazingly similar O_O In the words of one woman who was describing Hayden Christensen eyes (well for me this will refer to Daniel Craig), "I feel like swimming in his eyes." Hahahaha.

Anyway Casino Royale was good. It was beyond my expectation! Haha. Then yesterday, before watching Casino Royale (again), I watched Happy Feet. Which is horrible >.<>.< (both movies are reviewed below) You may ask why I'm willing to watch Casino Royale twice. No it's not because of him actually. It's because I got nothing better to do, and so I was following someone's suggestion *ehem ehem*. I guess both of us are crazy haha. Anyway the ticket was $6.50 for both days (we watched Casino Royale in the Cathay and Cathay Orchard). So yeah it wasn't that bad. I paid $7.00 for Happy Feet, cause we watched it in Lido. If I paid $9.50 for Happy Feet, I'll be very p***ed off. Haha. Thankfully.

Later :)

P.S. I only found out 4 days ago that Jude Law was in Hong Kong last Friday O_O Oh my gawd. In the same island as Jude Law haha. He was there to celebrate Dunhill 40 years anniversary in Hong Kong. Oh my gawd.... I was like 3 MTR stops away from the venue. Ughhhhhh. Anyway, he was only in Hong Kong for 40 hours (what's with number 40). Ha, better luck next time.

Movie Reviews

Casino Royale (7.5 stars out of 10)
This movie has proven a lot of naysayers wrong. When it was revealed who the next James Bond was, many people called him 'too blond. too bland'. Some even called him James Blond. Well, they are so wrong haha. As I've said, this movie is beyond my expectation. It's fast-paced (excluding the back part.. which is rather draggy), and just when you thought the movie was finishing, it revealed a twist. This James Bond is more realistic to today's world. No invisible car. No funny gadgets. Yet it's more gritty, darker and realistic. The movie's really action-packed and enjoyable. This movie will be in my recommended list of 2006, which I think is a rather disappointing year for movie. Oh on the last note, I love how they do the iconic shooting to the screen thing. It's so much better than Sean Connery walking and hopping to the screen in Dr No. Hahaha.


Happy Feet (6.0 stars out of 10)

Too much singing. An absurd plot. This movie is a major disappointment for me. I thought it'll be terrific or something. The movie is very draggy and there aren't much funny moments. The only good thing about this movie is the very realistic animation. There's one scene which I really like. It's the one where the penguins are braving against the wind in order to reach the unknown world. How the people managed to make the snowscape so real is amazing. Well, that's the only good point I think haha. If you're gonna watch this show, don't have too high expectation.
