Had a day full of ups and downs.
Kick-started my day by going jogging with the boyfriend and sister; east coast was certainly crowded to the max! Haven't been running for a long time now..and the morning run felt good. At least, before my usual stitches kicked in.
Anyhows, we went home after to pick mummy up to go for lunch. Intended to try out this place called
thai pan at mandarin gardens, which my sister practically swears has damn good food at affordable prices.
Really kind of regretted that decision. Even if the food did turn out pretty good. Especially the butter squid.
Got lost driving there and, to cut a long story short, had one of the inevitable fights with my mum. Right in front of my boyfriend, no less. I was totally torn between anger and embarrassment. Ohwells.
But I must really give him credit for his presence; I've never seen my mum's anger dissipate so quickly before. And I've missed having a peacemaker in our family.
The day got better after lunch..stayed out of my mum's way to avoid her ire, and ended up catching
bodyguards and assassins.
I swear this show has gotta be one of those with the most star-studded cast, except that many of them have such little screen time, I wonder how are they paid really. By the second or what? I think I saw michelle reis for all of 10 seconds, beautifully dressed in some red outfit, with tears shining in her eyes, this glow around her and then poof! The show continues. >_<
Personally thought that nicholas tse did a fairly decent job in this show, though I've never really been a fan of his. And it's quite a nice change to see donnie yen start out as someone way less than a hero.Though of course, surprise surprise, he's still quite the heroic guy in the end.
And leon lai, I just cannot believe. He looked absolutely...unrecognisable. Hahaha. Couldn't decide between rolling my eyes at his kungfu prowess in the movie, or get emotional at his sad fate. Heh.
Not a super fantastic flick - probably not worth the price of a weekend movie ticket - but still pretty alright nonetheless.
What is really worth paying 10bucks for, is
avatar. That show rocks!
I wanna catch sherlock holmes though! And alvin and the chipmunks 2. Hee.
Am so
not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow after the super long weekend..sighh. Going to be utter madness; I just hope mb and I can leave earlier tomorrow and come home for dinner.
What will keep my monday blues away?
