I didn't think I'd update so quickly again, but found things to write about, so here goes:

As I type this entry now, there's a slight drizzle over the estate. Skies are fuzzily grey and overcast, humidity's slightly intolerable and it's COLD.

In other words, winter-Singaporean-style has arrived, and it SUX BIG TIME.

*Grumble grumble grumble* i want my sunshine, blazing hot weather and bright blue skies again...... *huddles herself with her PC*

Quet has also asked me whether I wanna go Taipei to visit Nauhz at the end of the year... ( Nauhz, if you're reading this, I wonder if Quet has told u about it yet ) Still thinking about it, though weather in Taipei is not very encouraging as well..... 16 to 23 deg Celsius last I checked........ *shivers*

Go sue me. I want my blazing hot sun.

Other drama in my life: I recently became entangled as a supporting actress in the love life of some guy of whom I'm not even close to anyway. Like how the heck did that happen??? ( Sorry, no details on this to preserve anonymity ) The story as I know it resembles some HK drama right now and this idiot went and pulled my name into it for something I did of which I didn't even tell him I did it.

Makes sense? No? Then you're not one of those meant to be in the know. Sorry bout that guys... :p

Suffice to say that seeing how other's lovelifes get so entangled.... and how it sux being single for so long....... Ok the whole notion of LOVE is crazed anyway. Someone should just suck all the hormones out of us right now and save the whole human race a buncha emotional wrecks.

Movie I've watched: Alexander, courtesy of Slayer, whom due to a bout of food poisoning was unable to go, so I went in her stead.

My main thought: BORING. BORING BORING BORING. The whole movie I was waiting for the plot to get on and get exciting already or for someone to die, just so that I'd be mildly interested in the next few minutes.

For a guy who was known as Alexander the Great, he certainly wasn't very great in this movie. Throughout the show, he was portrayed as a father-hater-mother-lover, a pure, virtuous homosexual, [something about how the love between men, if it doth spur them on to do greater deeds, is noble and pure above all else] a mother-hater-father-lover, a powerhungrymonger and a guy with secret theatrical longings.

Yea, theatrical is right. Throughout the whole movie, the performance of Alexander reminded me of an actor hamming it REAL badly on stage, but yet persisting through his bad performance, convinced he was glory personified, while the audience booed and threw rotten vegetables on stage. He was sooooo bloody dramatic in every speech to his men, going on about glory, dying for your king and all that I just gagged and rolled my eyes every time he spoke.

And the battles..... gack. Compared to LOTR, the battles in this movie resembled two catty bitches going at each other with painted finger nails.

Are my film tastes getting too high? Or am I just sick of this Hollywood grandeurish-epic rubbish?

Anyway, it's not a bad movie. It's just a damn boring one. I can't remember the last time I sat down to a movie, only to keep checking my SMSes halfway and checking the watch to see when the movie was likely to end. Bleargh. I was actually half-relieved when Alexander died at the end. Good god, it's finally about to be over.

High points of the show? The trailer for Phantom of the Opera before the movie looked pretty good. At least they used the Andrew Lloyd Webber version, with the songs intact, and the quality of music sounds pretty decent too. Will probably go watch it when it comes out.

And for the last time: DO NOT WATCH ALEXANDER.
