Went to Ice Cold Beer finally on Friday, then caught 300! with the BF and his friends. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the show. It reeks of cool all over. From what I know, it's a film based on a graphic novel which is in turn based on history. History wise though, it's a bit inaccurate, in the sense that it's more rar rar and stuff. But it's still entertaining nonetheless. I love the queen in the show. She's unlike any other woman depicted in these sort of movies. She's smart, sharp, witty, and capable of killing if need be. Both of my fave lines in the show came from her. Also, the hot bods of the 300 warriors will make every female in the theatre salivate and every male go green with envy. If you'd enjoyed Troy, you should watch this. If you had not enjoyed Troy, this is still worth a try.

as I spotted the amazing sight ahead

Reaching the end of the long, dark and deserted way

I realised "oh it's the P.S. Cafe!"

We began to pout in hunger

We sip our... white Champagne? Nah it's $6 a bottle mineral water

While patiently waiting

Finally! I cut into my Abernise Steak and Prawns

And in his mouth the Roast Turkey he was chewing (photos not taken)

And we end it with a yummy dessert

Sinful Handmade Chocolate Blackforest Pudding

So then the happy lovers left the restaurant bar

To catch Hannibal Rising

3 entries in a day. I must be barking mad.

Anyway, I just wanted to recommend a show I caught on Friday night/Saturday morning. After school on Friday, the BF and I had our dinner at Suntec and decided to head home to retrieve his car so we can catch:



Great, great movie. It reminded me of Motorcycle Diaries, and its the autobiography of Nicholas Garrigan as Motorcycle Diaries of Che Guevera. But I must say this show spark my interest more than Motorcycle Diaries. There was qualities you associate with a blockbuster: violence, sex, excitement, morals etc. But what struck me was how real the characters are portrayed. Obviously they are real people but I'm just impressed that the director managed to capture Nicholas as he is and not hyping up the glamour. He was somewhat selfish, not evil, but just proud of his own achievements and doesn't think beyond the detriments of his actions. He was in essence, you and me. A flawed and common human being but under circumstances, gone through extraordinary experience.

Both actors, James McAvoy and Forest Whitaker were stunning. Whitaker was exceptionally hilarious as Idi Amin. I particular enjoyed his variability in his moods, his crude sense of humor, his adopted accent, and his sometimes competence and other times incompetence at being a dictator. I love McAvoy's version of a selfish, slightly arrogant (biting off more than he can chew) but still righteous in a very humanly way, human.

Compared to Blood Diamond (which I also liked very very much), this show is more real, with more convincing characters. Although the show started off a little slow and strange for me, but the intensity build-up is remarkable. A definite must-watch.
