Wow, ahzi's real famous! It brought someone here! Haha. How cool is that?? Super cool.

GCMA's in 12 days time and I'm looking forward to it! I'm not supposed to because that means my exams are near too. But since my exams are near, it also means that holidays are coming. Which means that 8th Dec will be coming soon! Muahaha. I'm SO motivational. Yea right. If only.

Anyway, I went Vivocity again today. Haha. I couldn't stand the thought of me going to vivocity on Saturday and not able to shop around. Ok, I admit. I've no money to shop. Window-shopping it is then. Vivocity didn't feel that big actually. Maybe because there're many turns in the mall. The mall is supposed to be the BIGGEST in Singapore BUT, believe it or not, there's NO DBS ATM around!!!!! I nearly fainted. Maybe there is one, hidden in some corner. But according to the directory, there're no DBS branches there. So the lack of ATMs left me with 80cents in my wallet for dinner and movie. Luckily my friend treated me to the movie (thanks leqi!) and I just koped food from others for dinner. Haha. Had a late lunch in school you see (yes I went to school!).

Talking about the movie, I watched The Departed starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and Jack Nickalsun. It was supposed to be based on Infernal Affairs but I think they shouldn't pitch it like that. They changed some parts of the plot and the bad-guy-undercover, i.e. Andy Lau's character, didn't even feel remorseful in the end. Perhaps it was the acting. Perhaps it was the plot. Perhaps it was the constant stream of the F*** word. It just didn't feel right. The beginning was so slow that Leqi fell asleep. Haha. When the plot started to 'follow' Infernal Affairs', they simply raced through everything. I thought the characters could have been explored in greater detail. No, explore seems wrong. Developed sounds better. Especially scenes in which I feel more emphasis on inner emotions could have been done. I'm really not sure. It just feels weird having the mafia-cop scenario in Boston. I kept having images of Andy Lau and Liang Chao Wei flashing in my mind. Maybe a more experienced actor would have been better? I'm not sure. I'm not saying the movie's not worth its money but you probably shouldn't watch it on a weekend. Weekday tickets are cheaper.
