I Hate the Rain
Was totally prepared to go for swim after school yesterday when it rained the whole day. Totally spoiled every plan. I was on my way to school already when they spread the message that there is no need to attend the lecture. Another spoiler. End up in school with ah lei, thom, TQ [aka sotong] and jessica [aka watermelon] waiting outside the lecture hall which took me hours to find [ok maybe just 10 minutes] Totally no plans so the hall people when back to their hall and the others [me, jessica and thom] decided to go and look at toys for an assignment. Upon reaching Jurong East, jessica say she wants to go home so end up just left me and thom on a "date". Went to Vivo for no apparent reasons. Had our lunch at this Hong Kong cafe thingy place which is much better than Xin Wang [take that Nic]. Went shopping around at Toy's R Us and end up catching a movie, Pan's Labyrinth.

Pan's Labyrithn is a nice spanish movie. Although done by the Mexican director who did Hellboy and Blade, this one has a different feel that the comic book make overs. Guess I was looking forward to more fantasy-ish scenes. The cross between the civil war and the girl's attempt to return to her kingdom of the underrealm seems to have a deeper meaning which might explain the lack [for me at least] of fantasy scenes. Overall, it's a good film, so catch it if you can.

Other movie to look out for - 300, a adaptation of Frank Miller's [creator of Sin City] comic of the same name.

By the way, it's still raining now. I Hate The Rain.
found it @ 7:29 AM
