Another freefall.
The Blue Mansion was WICKED.
I proclaim it and Coraline the two best movies I've seen so far in the entire year.
Who knew local productions could actually be competent?
Manda and I sneaked into it yesterday, bought tickets for Astro Boy (thank goodness we weren't stuck watching that) then creeped into the other hall.
The Blue Mansion's really artsy and theatrical, the set design was stunning! It was definitely something different from the normal mainstream movies. The whole cluedo who-dun-it scenario was engaging, yet there was a lot of comic relief and I must say, Adrian Pang and the rest of the cast did a great job. It's a pity it wasn't publicised widely, not many people pay attention to local productions (besides those ridiculous Jack Neo ones), I'm so glad I caught it.
Singapore Idol after that was actually, super cool. Waited for so bloody long before we could enter the studio, but my initial reluctance and constant grumbles sooned turned into fascination and wide-eyed stares when I entered the studio. I get starstruck really easily, even in front of the lamest so-called celebrities, basically I get super excited whenever I see any figure from the media. So there I was, literally gawking at the three judges as they took their seats, and the best part was that me and manda were right at the front in the mosh pit, so we had an amazing view of everything. It's really super cool to be there LIVE, you get to see how the whole show is run, during the ads the whole audience is like, lackadaisical and weary, but as soon as the cameras begin to roll - "we're going LIVE in one minute everyone! Now I want all you guys to scream and bring the house down"; the tv man quickly begins fingering the "3, 2, 1" signal, and boom, everyone perks up and flings their hands wildy in the air, animatedly waving at the camera the second it falls on them. When a few minutes ago we were actually all a bunch of pretty liveless corspes.
All for show.
Sent Nat off at the airport with vic today, I'm really gonna miss her oh man. Doctor's appointment later, then after a huge thunderstorm erupted, rain was pouring down, like a billion fountains all over the world spewing out water simultaneously, it was so heavy I seriously thought it would never subside. The whole void deck was flooded. Mrteed to Vivo when the rain wasn't too bad, met tat and gave her her belated birthday present! I'm so glad she likes it.
Going off to KL tomorrow to attend my cousin's wedding, will be back on sunday!
Till then this blog will be dead.
