Over the weekend

This weekend's been pretty packed with guitar hero sessions and stayovers 'cause my parents are away! Had the psych gang over this afternoon and the pets on fri night. Celebrated annie's belated at Firestation Hillside Gastrobar which serves surprisingly decent food at reasonable prices.Cedele has pretty good cuppies, much nicer than Cake Ave.










Nice movies are flooding the cinemas this period. Caught "Julie & Julia" and "500 days of summer" recently and I really like the former. I think 500 days is alright but pretty overrated imo. Maybe my expectations were too high after hearing countless praises for it. I mean I like the mod, 60s style and the non-linear perspective but all these ideas aren't exactly very original and on the whole, somehow, the film lacks depth. Compared to similar style films like Amelia and Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, it comes across as slightly pretentious. J&J has a much more entertaining, funny and original storyline imo.

I've been feeling slightly ill since yesterday. Hope i'm not falling sick. Work btw, has started to pile up with the addition of projects.

Tis the season to get married?

Is it me or is 2009 a good year to get married? A sec sch classmate held her wedding recently, i've got a colleague's wedding to attend tonight, another colleague's wedding to attend next month and apparently another sec sch mate has just gotten married as well.

By the way, I caught "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs" with the pets this week. The film's super hilarious even though the plot's more or less predictable. "Up" has a better plot imo. I think the company you're with affects the way u view a show, especially for comedies and cartoons. The fact that i was sitting next to auntie who was laughing throughout made the movie even more funny than it actually is. Though i still find the film more entertaining than the average cartoon. "You are abt to be crushed by a giant corn" is the funniest of all.

Anyway, I got really sick of my ever-long hair and went for a haircut yesterday. Its not that long anymore but still tie-able. I think the hairdresser did quite a good job because I like the way I look currently. Plus, shorter hair is so much easier to wash, comb and manage.
