The Da Vinci Code was expectedly a thought-provoking movie with it's merits and demerits. The movie religiously followed the book to the best of it's ability leaving some parts out. Ian McKellen as 'The Teacher' was a commendable effort on his part as he managed to bring out the essence of the character. What was however disappointing with the movie was nothing new was presented nor were there any real objectivity on this contentious issue. It showed basically what the book presented and nothing else. Yet, that being said, the movie was worth watching nonetheless.
Ever since The Straits Times published an article related to whether cinemas in Singapore are adhering to the movie ratings, checks have been rather more than random especially at GV Marina. Some kids, given their small sizes and height, tried to slip pass the cracks but were unfortunately caught. Perhaps Lido could be a different story altogether?
I bought an iPod Nano for my sister today from apple@ orchard. The offer was irresistible and made economic sense. At least now, she will not be stealing furtive glances at my iPod mini when I am listening to it.
Lunch at TCC was $45.00 for two people. Ridiculous! I can over-feed three people with that money. Oh well, it's not everyday that I go to a place where the smell of coffee or some say aroma fills the air.
I saw three women during Lunch. My sister, a woman in her late-twenties and a mother of a daughter. The woman in her late-twenties kept looking at my sister and the mother. In her head, she must have thought why couldn't she recapture the youth that my sister has and how long more would I look like a haggard mother who couldn't care less about how she presented herself to others. I think she seriously was considering SK II. I have never seen women, Singaporean women to be more specific, rejecting free food just for SK II products. The lovely magic of the pitera and beauty. Women.
'My temper is like a traffic light just that it slants more to the red and skips the amber' Let's put it to the litmus test shall we? But I do know that my temper is something that can swing in all directions but at the end of the day, everything ends on a cheerful note.
---till later---
