yesterday, i was on leave from work and i felt so... different. when was the last time i hung out in a shopping mall on a weekday afternoon? it just feels so good to be in an empty shopping mall when you don't have to beat the crowd. no queueing, no waiting. no noisy restaurants, no packed cinema theaters. pure bliss just runs through my veins!
so actually i took leave because i had to go for this interview.. somewhere at changi and trust me... it's one secluded corner of the island. my cab was making turns and rounds because we can't find this heavily secluded place. i'm fine with the job but not the location, so i totally screwed up the written test. i'm quite regretting it now though.. gees.
after that i went out for lunch and a movie with yuenling. i'm telling you, i'm hooked to marina square's ministry of food. the red-bean paste (shiratama zenzai, for those who wants to try) IS HEAVENLY. the almond flakes just makes it extra tasty. trust me, go try it.
but! we didn't have that. frankly i've been eating the red-bean thing weekly since end of september. we wanted a change so we went to jack's place. i haven't had a meal there since my birthday in 2003... and i remember i had a horrible time, struggling with their lobster bisque (i'm not saying theirs are not good.. i think lobster bisques taste horrible generally anywhere).
After that, I watched the guardian. previously when i first saw the trailer, my first thought was.. 'what?! a remake of umizaru?!'. i mean seriously.. the sea, the diver training, the sinking ships.. every scene was screaming umizaru. so i dubbed the movie the sea monkey. lol..
considering that i loved the whole umizaru series to bits (which consists of 2 movies and one drama), i'm surprised that the guardian still managed to make me excited, feel sorry for all the unfortunate things that happened to our leads and even cry at the sad parts. umizaru still made me cry more, but the guardian was still touching and disturbingly similiar to umizaru!
ashton kutcher (man, he's hot without that shaggy hair)'s fischer was a replica of senzaki while kevin costner's randall is simply.. AJUSSHI! (for those who did not know about my obsession with a particular 48 year old guy, don't ask.) not just the people but even the storyline! everybody had a past to deal with... mistakes come back to haunt our heroic protagonists but they triumph over them... boy training to be a diver meets a local girl who wants to just have a fling but they end up being serious... main guy helps the weakest guy in class to excel in the training.. does that sound like umizaru already?!
sigh. i wish i can just quit my job and spend all my time in cinemas.
anyways. i'm so into justin timberlake nowadays. did anyone see his music video for his latest single my love? my gawd. no one should miss it. i haven't seen such slick dance moves in a long long time (esp. since koreans don't dance like that. they are more into full-blast adrenaline rushing hip-hop breakdance). i'm so tempted to buy his futuresex/lovesounds album!
but i'm broke.
listening to: justin timberlake -- my love
