A special date that will occur once in a thousand years. nothing special for me as usual though. no school today, w00t!
went for prayers then headed to Singapore Expo, its been years since i've been to that ulu place. the last time i been there was like more than 5 years ago when nike organised a Scorpion K.O soccer competition. the one where eric cantona stands on top of the cage and throws in the ball advertisement.
ok, so i went there cause borders having a sale there. so the place was filled with books and dvds. browsed through and bought 3 books. didnt buy any dvds though, they were going cheap at $15 and the titles are quite recent.
the sale ends on sunday, so theres still time to check it out. luckily i went today cause it will be jam packed during weekends. was hoping they will be albums sold but nope. :(
next went to bugis topman, after 2 weeks of procrastinating finally went to topman. going to the bugis outlet was a wrong choice though, so many bengs and mats there. should have gone to the marina outlet. nvm, saw the short shorts sold there the price was outrageous 63bucks for so little cloth, i'd rather get their jeans. bought some stuffs and headed home.
end of my another loner shopping trip, now need to start studying for POM.
review of money not enough 2
was rated 1.5/5 by the local papers. i smell propa$%*$#. the movie wasnt powerful enough to evoke tears off me nor was it on par with The Dark Knight(duh..), but it isn't as bad as a 1.5/5 show. it is still watchable and i give it 2.6/5. the movie potrays a real situation faced by normal singaporeans and with the aging population of the nation increasing, the poor state of 'mother' is very real and is happening even now. the film also tries to raise awareness of MLM or multi level marketing. which often ends up with you getting cheated off your money. follow the rule of thumb that something is too good to be true, it probably is. these are the serious parts of the show that is peppered with jokes throughout the show. i though jack neo should focus on just one thing, this movie should be made as a tear jerker rather than trying a mish mash of comedy and sad story.
like his other movie, Homerun, which was inspired by the Iranian movie Children of Heaven. ok i admit i teared to these 2 movies but not money not enough 2. nuff said. so me using 2.5 packs of tissue was utter nonsense. lol.
Movie that i missed and recommend it to be watched, 10 Promises to My Dog.
