I thought I should update a little before fully immersing myself in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I've started on it already and... okay I shall not spoil it for anyone. haha! Although I'm rather tempted to do so.
So, nothing much interesting if you asked me, just what I did this week:
Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix
I told myself not to expect too much from this movie, because the first few weren't as good as the books, naturally. So I wasn't too disappointed when I caught it with Jie Shi at PS on Tuesday. Haha. But! I couldn't help but be quite annoyed that they took out the Quidditch part! Oh man. I like watching Quidditch. ): So cannot see Ron trying out for Keeper lah. TSK. And the way the whole story flowed was a little weird. I'm just glad I read the book because the whole story won't be that easy to follow if I didn't. At some parts I wonder if JS really understand what's going; the cut-and-edit was just a tad too random. Sub-plots and dialogue were chucked in without much explanation. So lots of the time it was really quite random okay. For example, they didn't even develop the relationship before Harry and Cho, and suddenly they were kissing under the mistletoe?! In the book at least they talked and there's more interaction. Sure, they showed that Cho and Harry like each other by subtle hints and stuff, but it wouldn't hurt to just have a bit more of Harry and Cho time before they got together right? I shall just take it that their hormones were really raging. And poor Ron, he didn't seem to have much character in this movie. You can guess what I'm going to say again. Yes! If only they included the part about him trying out for Keeper. hahaha. Dolores Umbridge was good though, I like how that actress (I forgot her name) portrayed that character. She was certainly irritating as hell. (: That laugh, OMG. I would have slapped her if I'm Harry.
KBox on Thursday
Everytime I go Suntec with Janesa (this time with Nat also), we will surely eat Kenny Rogers. I have no idea why. Can we please eat something different next time? Thanks. (: And Kbox session with them, plus Belle, was an overload of Kone songs. LOL. Since Jan really likes them, I can only hope that they release a new album soon so that we can at least listen to some new songs instead of the same old ones each time we go sing together. -crosses fingers-
King Lear
YAY my money was worth it! A few parts were a little different from what we read (e.g the death of the Fool), and some characters were not like how I imagined (e.g Cordelia), but i guess everyone has their own interpretation of the play and characters. (: The two sisters acted really well. I especially liked the parts when they fought over Edmund. Oh and the costumes, so pretty! Haha. Of course, King Lear was definitely the highlight of the play, to me at least. I mean, Ian McKellen, hello? Do I need to say more? And Edmund was really like a bonus. (: Those who were at the play, you know what i mean. LOL.
Dinner at Bugis
And Angela's leaving tomorrow morning to go overseas for attachment for 2 months! I will miss that girl. We went Bugis last night to have dinner together before she leaves. And we tried V8 Cafe for the first time! The food was not too bad. Even the starter, onion soup, was nice. (: Just don't order the beef lasagne, it was so small. Even smaller than Pizza Hut's. The steak, as shown below, was quite nice. But of course, cannot be compared to some other better restaurants lah.
We wanted to go to the Esplanade after dinner, because there was National Day Rehearsal yesterday and we thought we might be able to catch the fireworks. But after taking neoprints (yes i can't believe we went to take neoprints, we were like outdated aunties trying to figure out that particular machine), it was already about 9 plus. The fireworks have already disappeared to outer space. So we went to TCC because we couldn't stop talking (like aunties again). And that's when the real crapping really begins. Hahaha. It was funny because we wanted to stay there and talk, yet still full from dinner to order alot of food. So we tried to order 1 by 1, like after somebody eat finish then order the next one. TCC's service wasn't very good though, the waitress seems to want us to get lost asap, she keep coming over to try to clear our plates and stuff even though the food wasn't finished yet. And their dessert sucks. If you've got money to waste, you can try the Royal Chocolate Mousse. So yeap, that was our 'eventful' night yesterday. SEE YOU 2 MONTHS LATER, ANGELA! (okay I don't even know if she'll read this.) WE"LL MISS YOU! (:
