Okay.
I was so bored while at work just now i took an impressive 10 minutes to finish this entry on a piece of paper napkin.
How bored ?
To the extend that i'm doin what i usually not do , which is give a detailed account of my day.
So , yesterday was Melvin's birthday and we all celebrated it by going to the movies. Shrek 2 was our initial choice but damnnnn , we were too late for it so we decided to catch 'Day after tomorrow' instead , much to my chagrin as you all know i am rather skeptical towards made-in-hollywood movies because of the lack of a good plot and the overuse of computer effects and whatnots .
But i was suprisingly entertained by this particular show , the CG effects blew me off my seat even though the plot was wafer-thin and boy did they really alter science into something so bizarre and implausible that i bet even my 5 year old cousin would cringe at.
I mean , what the hell. There was one scene where some helicopters took the plunge because the fuels froze due to extremely rapid declining temperatures of minus 10 degrees per second.
Ahhh. Pop science at its best , definitely.
I've never been a observer of climatology or weatherology or whatever you call that but rest assured that i have my basic facts down pat.
This was really too unbelievable. An ice age happening within the timeframe of a few weeks ?! Bullshitte.
Okay , enough of my gripes about the film.
Speaking of gripes , i swore to myself after yesterday that i will NEVER agree to watch a movie with Edwin and Huijie. Period.
During the entire 2 hours of the movie , those two morons were irritating the shitte out of me ( and the rest too , as i were to find out later ) by committing 3 deadly sins in the cinema.
1) Prolonged usage of handphones. I don't care if you're just using it to SMS , a few minutes of light-time is fine by all means but not if you whip out your bloody phone every few minutes to SMS. The light is so friggin distracting.
2) CHATTING .
3) Incessant comments. Fuck it , they were being such big imbeciles ! I couldnt believe my ears when the two hairy baboons started chanting 'Kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss !' very loudy when there was a kissing scene. OH MY GOD. That wasnt all , i was hearing all sort of comments like :
"Hahahaha ! THIS IS REALLY THE LAST MAN STANDING! NONO , LAST WOMAN STANDING MORE LIKELY ! HAHAHA " ( When the cameras depicted a very frozen New York with not a soul around and the statue of liberty was very prominent )
"Hey look Singapore is so lucky to have escaped the Ice age because we are in the northern half of the earth !" ( when there was a map showing the areas affected by the Ice Age . I rest my case for this )
So you get the idea. To top it all off , they starting throwing popcorns but mercifully they stopped after a while. You know , i wanted so bad to scream at them but i couldnt bring myself to do so , not wishing to create a scene and knowing very well they will retaliate by saying "Why are you being so sensitive ?" , so damn hostile don't you think ?
Alrite , end of part 1. Part 2 comin up.
