Didn't blog yesterday, so I'll combine both days into this post. Was too tired.Yup. So we went to the movies yesterday. I don't know how Chester does his planning, but we were supposed to cab to Paya Lebar MRT Station then take a train to Plaza Sing. Talk about nonsense.
Ignored him and headed straight to Plaza Sing with Darren. Met MC there then the whole lot of us went to the arcade. We were SUPPOSED to watch Deathnote. But NOOOOOOO... Chester HAD to be late. MC HAD to be late. And Chester's the organizer. Next time, I'm not gonna care about the time too. No siree.
Wasted time at the arcade. Just couldn't find a game fun enough to play. House of the Dead 4 looked fun.. but there were like a billion people watching you play. That was all fine and dandy, but it was right at the ENTRANCE of the arcade. Put me off. A lot.
So I ended changing my 5 bucks for nothing. Thank god they're all $1 coins.
Settled for Flushed Away, then went for dinner at the food court. Met xiao gou over there. Don't kill me Bryan. Please (x. You know it's all in good fun =D. Fun fact: Bryan sports Adidas stuff 150% of the time. According to him, it's sponsored by the kind folks at Adidas themselves.
Oh, and if you're gonna have to sit seperately, don't sit with Chester or Bobby. The McDonald's stunt wasn't enough. They played some weird Indian song during the commercials. I almost choked on my nachos trying to suppress my laughter.
On to the movie itself. It's your basic animated movie with lots of funny scenes thrown inside. Comic relief from start to finish. Not that it's bad... just old. Hey, least both Ian McKellen and Hugh Jackman were voice acting. I also noticed something. There was a quite a bit of British humor.. so most of the audience couldn't get it. What was shocking, however, was the inability of Singaporeans to grasp any humor beyond face value.
For instance, at one scene, the big bad toad ate a fly. Then the fly flew (pun?) out of his mouth. The toad swallowed it quickly and said "Sorry, my fly's undone." It was a double entendre. Meaning, a spoken phrase that can be understood in either of two ways, the second usually being slightly risque. Yet I was the only one who laughed. The movie had quite a few. None of which the audience could really catch. Sad.
We opted out of the second movie. Too tired. Went home and the rest is history.
