However,
I watch this today at the picturehouse...
The heroine was a chameleon, together with twisted plot, double crossing backstabber. The plot was so complex and absurd that makes the whole movie believable. It's based on real stories... It reminded me a little of All About Eve... Bravo to the director. Watch it, you'll know what I mean.
Architechture of silence
It's a bit dated, but I had a complimentary ticket for one of the shows of Singapore Arts Festival - Architecture of Silence at the Esplanade Theater. A collaboration of Slovene National Theatres Opera and Ballet with Maribor, Ljubljana and Singapore Festival Orchestra. It was the Asian Premiere and geewhiz was it the VIP box on its premiere date. Happy.
Ironic was the word. As the beauty tuned from its silent dance which impersonates the silence of the sea, yet the orchestra was pomp. I think that scene where pebbles dropping to the aquarium could be executed better because for the period it's been done, almost for a whole scene, I kept wondering its meaning. Time, rebellion, out of proportion, wilderness, nature, silence, baptism, rebirth. Keywords...
It was an admirable performance, though. The footwork was very neat....

Movies!
This week is supposed to be my mad week, because two of my deadlines are due next week. But well. On the premier day, I couldn't afford to miss Sex and the City! :D
Yes, yes, cliche, yep, chickflick, yep, frills and overthetop gowns but hey! It's SEX AND THE CITY, dude. What do you expect? Watched it with Rene and Dora. It wasn't the best movie around, though. If you haven't watched the series you may want to stay out of it, and watch Narnia: Prince Caspian!
But it's the first time I watch at Great World City cinema. Talk about which, the biggest screen I've watched in Singapore was the one at the Science Centre, watching Spiderwick's Chronicles. 0.5 metres bigger than GVMax, if I'm not mistaken.
Anyhow, Prince Caspian.
Watch it with Jo, Ashton and QQ. I've shuddered and goosebumpsed. I finally understood, a carrier in mass communications means that you can't enjoy any form of communication without critical thinking. Even reading a newspaper today, or seeing a photograph in the paper, I would screen any form of public relations there, or any kind of subliminal messaging there. Watching Prince Caspian, I was hoping to get entertained, but lord, it was almost tiring to watch, because I noticed every single camera angle, I noted down the scriptstyle, I noticed the fade ins of the soundtracks, the special effects and everything.
BUT. Since I get free tickets every monday and discounted tickets on Tuesday, priority seatings on Wednesday, I shall watch movies everyday.
Today is a mark on my relationship with Husky. We hit the ten months' hike. Let's see how far can we go...
We celebrated it with a few drinks, found out that our resistance levels have gone waaay down. We produced out the gift from Erka, a bottle of the finest vodka in Mongolia, the Chinggis Vodka. The shooter battle goes and we're tipsy about half a bottle.
Another finding, is that Myojo Mee Soto Ayam the instant noodles actually tastes good! :D
It is not supposed to be a long post. Anyway, shall go back to work now.
Ciao....
