Movies

Luckily there's my brother, otherwise I would be bored alone. He decided to take me out to 1U instead of letting me stay at home the entire day. :)) We went for lunch, Ayam Penyet, his treat after which we decided to catch a movie of my choice. Teehee. 'The Accountant'. I chose it simply because Ben Afleck is in it. Hehees! Liked him in his previous shows. It stars Anna Kendrick as well. :)) Enjoyed the movie much simply because I could relate to the main themes of the show which revolves around accounting and autism. Plus, its filled with action and its thriller based. It had quite a unique storyline. Earlier, as we arrived at the mall, we stopped at one of the pet shops at the entrance too. We walked in and took a look at the pets there. Mostly, puppies and dogs. My brother spotted a bulldog and directly walked to it. He kept telling me how cute it was! So I too took a closer look and yes, it was cute! omg. Fat, big headed and round round like a snowball. Haha. Sadly, it has no tail. Where did it go?? :( Anyways, still, I didn't see a cute bulldog like this before, I always imagined it to be bulldog-ish, you know. My brother kept trying to get its attention by waving and saying Hello but it seemed disinterested with people. Despite that, my brother kept waving and saying Hello to the bulldog with hopes and i just found that cute. HAHA. 'Inspired' by my brother, I decided to do the same. I waved and said hello to another dog as well (Forgot what species) and it was quite mind relaxing. ^^ Enjoyed the short afternoon. :D

I earlier had intended to blog about my internship so far. Now, I don't feel like talking about the serious stuffs yet. Haha. Anyways, its past 3 weeks already. Time flies pretty fast. Hoping to learn much more. Also, there was this moment when I was sitting in the train staring out the window and recalled the earlier moments of the day when my 3 colleagues or rather friends, were teasing me, I couldn't help myself as to suddenly smile at the silliness of it all. At that time, there were other passengers in the train standing while I was seated and one or two persons were particularly looking in my direction so I was trying hard to keep a straight face for fear I'd look silly. Hahah. The thought of it though, their facial expressions, silly remarks and silly smiles. I know they're having a fun time as they teased me and I don't really care. Loll. Seems like they are having a good time and seeing people happy makes my day, anyway. Haha. Yet, it doesn't change the fact that its still plain silly! aiyoo. hahah

Anyways, I'll continue talking about movies which I have watched and do some short reviews.

Train to Busan. Most of the people I've heard from who has watched it said it was good or they loved it. I beg to differ (Not being shakespear here yahh. ahhaha). It was ok ok for me only. Plot wise, it was abit too shallow for me and I know, it is quite expected from a show made out of zombies as the central theme. What more can a plot go about except for the casts to run from these zombies?? Haha. Emotionally wise though, everyone was saying how good it was so I had some expectations. Unfortunately, I was not moved to that extent. It does tell you though to cherish your loved ones. I think that's the kind of message the director or scriptwriter wishes to convey. All in all, it was okay for me. The one scene that is sure to make everyone in tears is definitely That scene. Haha. Watch it and you'll know. :)

What other shows I've watched?? Oh yess, Deepwater Horizon. The first 45 minutes of the show slowly killed my interest of the shows and made me think if it was the right choice watching this. For me basically, I could not very well understand the jargons of those oil rigs and stuff and it was all dialogues. At almost the middle of the show, I started feeling bored and feeling regretful about the movie tickets (I didn't pay for it though la, my uncle did. Hahahah). When the climax began, that was the real turning point. When things started to go wrong and the oil rig started to blow, wow! Suddenly, the show was so happening. Hahaha. Really one. That's like the best happening movie or 'action' film I've seen in quite a long time. Omo. The scenes were so real and the different threats faced by the various crews onboard taking place concurrently was so well directed. It was honestly a great cinematic 'gan cheong' experience. Woo! :)) And yes, the 45 minutes are completely necessary as a build up to the central occurrence of the oil rig disaster and to get a grip of the whole story as much as it comprises of mostly dialogues. I didn't regret watching because of the action part. So worth it! :D 

Lastly, another show that's good was a show I watched pretty long ago. Its called Love, Rosie. A romance flick. Its very nice (you can get to stream it directly from youtube. haha). Its about the love that finds it way at the very end and best friends from childhood. Sounds familiar? Don't want to give away spoilers. As I was watching it too, I was debating as to whether I've come across such a plot before as it all seems too familiar. Yes, indeed. It comes from a novel of a famous author. Shh. Takkan beri nama. haha. Anyhow, I watched til the very end and yes, there's many struggles and challenges until the very end. I liked it how after everything they went through, they still had one another. :)
