Went to celebrate Weiqi's birthday today. Sort of, since her real birthday's next Thursday, when I can't make it for Kbox. It wasn't a big celebration or anything -- we just went to Plaza Singapura and ate at Swensen's, something we ALWAYS do. LOL. Meow and I got her this disappearing coin box thingy and a card. The coin box is cool, but I think the shrinking coin one was better. Haha. No matter.
After lunch Weiqi left, and Meow and I went to watch Brother's Grimm. When we arrived at the cinema, we found out that someone was in our seat. So we were like, okay... And seeing that the row in front of us was empty, we went to sit down, thinking that we'll leave the matter as it was if no one was going to sit there. But we should have been suspicious of an entire empty row in a mostly filled cinema, and not long after, a group of teens came along. We were mortified because it seemed that we were sitting on the wrong seats on purpose (which was kind of true). So I asked them if they were supposed to sit there and they said yes, so we scuttled away as quick as we could. The people in our seats were these two ang mohs (no offense here, just a general reference) so I was initially afraid to speak to them, but eventually we got the matter resolved: two girls were seating on THEIR seats instead. So there was a minor big (haha) shuffle and FINALLY we got our seats. Haha.
It wasn't a BAD movie, per se. Really. But at the end it kind of sucked because it became SO CLICHÉ. I was giong "whatever" at the movie multiple times. It's rather funny, and some parts are mildly suspenseful and all that, but seriously, if you don't have money to blow, don't watch it. It's a waste of your time. I wouldn't even rent the DVD. However if you're bored or love fairytales, spoofs or their variants of, I think you'll like it.
After the movie joined parents and Taka. Bought The Player of Games by Iain M. Banks. I've read the book before, but I decided to buy it only now because they have new covers out which are positively disgusting, and I wanted to get the old cover before it all sells out. After that went to eat at Tonkichi... the food's okay, but we thought that the one at Isetan was better.
Yeah. That's how I spent my day. Terribly fruitful, no?
