While I was missing-in-action and did not update my blog, I was constantly haunted by thoughts that there would be people devastated with nothing to read. Of course, that would only be thinking too highly of myself. But I'd like to imagine (if really not true) that I'm some celebrity writer with people that just love reading my 'works'. Think Sophie Kinsella and her Shopaholic series.
Okay back to reality.
I haven't logged onto the internet for only a few days and my mailbox is filling up with loads of mail - mostly junk, but also other emails that require my attention. They are damn asking alot from someone who is known to have a very short attention span. Will have to sit myself through each one and make sure I reply.
Mundane things aside, today's the day another friend of mine crosses the line to adulthood. I will be one of the last left in the Pre-Adult Camp, but I'm not really complaining. Being 21 doesn't make much of a big deal as yet - other than being able to watch R21 movies, which are really not that much to miss. I think the real deal comes when we graduate, step out of our comfort zones, into the working world, paying the bills and loans.... THAT, is what I call adulthood.
So yesterday was a quiet affair with Evon and Peck Chin, a small meet up to celebrate Evon's birthday. Initially planned to watch Ray with Evon but Peck Chin wasn't keen so we ended up watching 'A Very Long Engagement'.
Bad move. It was a depressing and sadistic show to watch on an eve of a birthday. The brutality of war and the ugliness of military corruption. Even the ending was bittersweet. I didn't know whether to cry or be happy for the heroine, Mathilde (Audrey Tatou), who was obsessed with finding her fiance, a condemned soldier believed to have been killed in the war.
This show only made me want to watch Ray even more. The biopic caught my attention even before the never-ending praises and accolades for the movie and its lead, Jamie Foxx, were on the newspapers. A short clip of the movie was shown when I went to watch a movie last Dec - Ray Charles (Jamie Foxx) sitting at the piano playing 'Georgia' - made my hair stand (in a good way. the bad one makes your hair stand and cringe at the same time) and I have been waiting expectantly for it. And here it is! I'm not going to miss this movie!
Dinner was at Olio at Wheelock and I really like the place. It's a tasteful restaurant with a nice ambience. Of course, the price is higher than the regular mid-range restaurants. But if you're willing to spend on a good meal, try their Grilled Seabass Fillet (S$24.90++ a la carte). It's mouthwatering...
Drooling yet??
Me & the Birthday Girl. Only thing missing is the cake!
Anyone want to give me a treat there? I'll gladly oblige.
