The sun also rises

Went to watch "The Sun Also Rises" at Balestier last night. Was struggling whether to catch it. On one hand, it's soooo far away! On the other, its FREE! Yeah baby. In the end of course i went. Read up on the reviews to prepare myself. The reviews weren't good at all but nevermind lah. FREE. For those who haven't been to Shaw Plaza to watch a movie, keep it that way. It is comparable to empress, but not at the "discounted rates." Anyway so there i was with menses girl from sailing cos she lives nearby, finding a seat in the theatre. It was half full. Either there wasn't that many people taking part in the contest, or they gave up tickets since its soooo far.



Here's the review taken from imdb.

Don't expect to figure everything out, 16 September 2007
Author: pvernezze from China

The movie basically revolves around two interconnecting stories. In the first story, the mother of an 18 year old boy in the countryside of revolutionary China 1976 begins acting strangely once she falls out of a tree trying to retrieve a pair of her shoes that a mysteriously appearing bird, which was repeating "I know, I know, I know," had stolen. In the second story a teacher at a university in Shanghai (same time, 1976) is falsely accused of groping a female doctor at a film (where he is chased down and beaten by a crowd). The final segment of the movie connects the two tales.I left the theater with several plot questions unanswered and was glad to find out the Chinese audience I watched it with (in Chengdu, China) were equally as puzzled but just as enraptured with the film. You will definitely leave asking questions that I would assert are not possible to answer from the information provided in the film. But you also soon discover that it is really o.k. and the unanswered questions leave you thinking and talking about the film long after you have seen the movie. The film has a magical quality to it, even though it takes place during that most unmagical of times, the Cultural Revolution, with everything except for one scene at the end being set in 1976. The director, Jiang Wen, has only made three films in 15 years, and this is the only one of his that I have seen. But it definitely makes me want to see his other films.

Doesn't sound all that bad right?

Here's my review of it.

WHAT THE FUCK? This is the stupidest movie i have seen in my entire life. It has officially taken over "In the Bedroom," another Do Not Watch Ever movie. The stupid sun also rises is a 3 segment movie. It begins with a crazy mum running off to climb a tree, jump off of it and landing on her head. This repeats several times until she is miraculously sane again. No, i'm not joking. The second part is about a horny woman claiming that a man pinched her ass, so that she can marry him -_- The man then mysteriously dies and the movie provides no explaination whatsoever of why this happened. WTF. The third instalment is about another horny woman in her 40s sleeping with a 20 year old man, who i found out later is played my jacky chan's son. And he wonders why his acting skills were not comparable to Brad Pitt's in a previous award ceremony. Seriously, anyone who has seen that movie will agree that no acting skills were needed for his role. The grand finale is the most gao lat. Seriously. This pregnant lady on the train was damn pregnant. She got a little excited and distracted over some flying cloth and the next thing i know, she looks at her tummy and wa la! she just GAVE BIRTH unknowingly!!!!!!! The baby slipped through a hole in the carriage floor into a bed of roses, ON the tracks. AMAZING. I couldn't have thought of a better plot. This godlike show ends, with a soliloquy of the mother screaming nonsense for a full two minutes. It was a really painful performance. I could literally feel her pain in my ears. Damn convincing. I was in pain too.

So yes, i challenge you to watch this movie. If you dont think it's shit, i'll refund ya your ticket price. Seriously stupidest show ever.

After that i went with menses girl for some dinner. The drinks came and being the gentlemen that i am, i said "it's okay, i'll get that." Cool right. But somehow, that incident seemed to have transcribed and intepreted as "it's Okay, i'll get that. and that and that and that too." AHHAAHA wah that was quite funny expression. Anyway bak kut teh came and i got that. Ordered you teow and i got that too. Still unsure if drinking 3 bowls of the bak kut teh soup was wise. It made my wallet feel justified, but make my stomach pain =(

sailing

Had a sailing trip over the weekend to Pulau Hantu. Was good except for the light winds. I lookweird cos my arms are red bt my body is white. It looks something like this.



Ok maybe not so extreme. There was this guy so burnt, he kept making ahh and ergh noises the whole night, writhing in pain. I felt quite bad cos i couldn't do anything for him, but it was also a challenge not to go up and rub his burnt skin and shout song bo! ahha. Anyway this post is about youth.

Looking at most of the other sailors still in the polytechnic now, all 17 and 18 and innocent makes me wish i could turn back time and enjoy my youth. But it was cool mixing with them. Reminds me of how retarded teenagers can still be.

There were many couples, amazing. Two couples were by the shed. One girl was on the lap of her boyfriend and from the corner of my eye, they were playing scissors paper stone whereby the loser had to kiss the other half. Wah are kids these days really so open or am i really behind times. No wonder we get more and more Tammys these days. Not that i'm complaining. Ha. Flak is always good entertainment.

Hantu is pitch black island at night offering only moonlight, coconut trees and a small toilet as companionship. It was about 11 in the night and i just came back from the toilet alone.
Gary - Where did you go?
Me- I went toilet
Gary - What? Alone?!!
Me - yup
Gary - Omg you very brave leh!
Me - Speechless

Around 12 we were huddling by the jetty, having small talk.
Gary- Omg did you know norman went to the toilet all by alone earlier! So dark and scary!
Others - Really? You not afraid?
Me - Of what? Nobody else here what.
Others - You not scared people jump out or suddenly appear and walk beside you?
Me - Only Denesh can do that
Denesh -_- knn
Me - LOL

A good man brought along black label. Bless his soul. Being the qian bei bu zui that i am i poured more of it than mixers and slowly sipped it, cos i was afraid they would run out of mixers.
Others - Omg how can you drink that!
Me - Hmm maybe when you're older you can.
Others - Its so horrible!
Me - I ran out of replies then.

Then this girl drank a little of black label neat, like how you would pour from the bottle for only half a second. She was high in an instant and told me her life story. That was quite funny.

Back at the poly marina while washing the boats i noticed this girl bleeding at the back of both sides of her thighs. At first thought i was like shit did she cut herself? Then it hit me kao is she leaking. So to save her some face, or at least i tried to, i asked hey are u hurt you look like you're bleeding. She no? where? When she looked she just went argggh! And ran. I guess i should have put it across more delicately but ya. Haha. Man i love kids.

Yeah just reminded me how fun it was when i was younger, where you don't have to spend much money to have entertainment. Where you can play WWF or Bishi Bashi for the entire day. Where you can spend the night out doing nothing just wait for a glimpse of the sunrise. After which you complain hot and hmm so bo liao and go home to sleep.

Will update this post with more pictures when i receive them.

Ok here's another movie contest for lindsay lohan's new flick, I know who killed me from http://www.youth.sg/blog/. Apparently they got a new contest every wednesday. Cool.



Also found http://www.miw.com.sg/publish/sg/en/miw_friends/contests.html. It's good too except it needs you to be a member to log in. A small hassle for a long term relationship of freebies. Took part in the Balls of Fury, Rogue Assasin, Waitress, Joshua, Shoot em up movie contests. And err some OSIM arm chair giveaway. Not sure where in my house still got space but nevermind la. Win first then say.

Goodness this is another faithful movie giveaway bonanza site. I'm telling you the list is ending man. I must have taken part in the Balls of Fury Contests like 4 times on seperate sponsors by now. Seems like i will have to watch the show 4 times so as not to waste it. Anyway the address http://www.umovies.com.sg/.

Wow this gianpeng shit is not all fun and games. It honestly involves hardwork and determination. I'm glad i'm doing my part in giving back to society.

It WOULDN'T move!

moviexclusive

Hello everybody!

I was thinking of means to help increase my exposure to contests. So i googled the word "contest," singapore sites, and wala! The first hit was http://www.moviexclusive.com/index.htm. This site offers by far the most gian oppotunities compared to the other links i have posted up. It is concurrently offering five contests right now! My goodness "what ya waiting what ya waiting what ya waiting for-or?" What an amazing ling gan that i have discovered. However they only allow one entry for each contest lol.. So cannot whack. Nonetheless it is defintely worth the effort. Below are some contests which i feel are worth taking part. Left out those where you get to win keychains and stuff. Not that keychains are not cool, they're just redundant and take up space.

Bachelorism

Okay sorry fans for the delay on our discussion about the movie date i had on tuesday. Due to some techinical difficulties, i was unable to upload pictures from my cool razor V3 handphone till now. I shall consider bringing out my digicam more often.

Now where was I. Oh yes! the movie date. I wanted to eat the pontian wanton mee because its nice and cheap. But ended up going to village cos she wanted to eat rosti. Rosti = potato = kantang. It was an ok meal, although its the same, but i feel Marche tastes better than Village. Maybe cos Marche sounds like Wa seh! and Village sounds like very-expensive-leh! when you say it real quick. Ok that bit doesn't make much sense. Anyway she was a very nice girl and insisted on going dutch. Anyway this post is not about how the date went, but about me and my mojo. Dear loyal readers, i'm sad to say i think i have lost my mojo. I don't remember feeling as inadequate as i did in the past during dates. Not just this movie date example but many previous ones. I do not remember being so hum ji or tongue tied. I remember being smoother and more suave. Where by just giving the blue steel look, girls crumble and fall at my feet. Well i choose to believe that and not because they simply tripped and fell. Erm for those of you who did not catch zoolander, please do. It rocks. Below is the blue steel look which when used, charms the socks off any girl. But i think the plot revolves around the assasination of the PM of Msia or something like that so it was bumped off the theatres. Watched the downloaded version. really funny!
.

Blue steel. Just look at the sexy intensity



Here was my attempt at it.


I think its even sexier. Just look at those kiss-me-baby lips.

I think my looks attributes to reasons why im single. But I'm not too sure. I mean are girls really that intimidated by guys with good looks? Give me a break.. Ugly also complain then handsome also shy. Tsk. Girls..

I was thinking that i am going to be single for a long long time with my current mojo level, financial woes and overwhelming looks. Just when this thought came to my mind, this picture appeared in the train.

When i opened the mailbox i was stunned by another Basta** King flyer. It was insult to injury. It was lemon on my wound. It was snatching my last 2 dollar note when i want to eat my double cheeseburger.

This my friends, is known as a 3-hit combo.

The signs. The signs! I'm gonna die sad and lonely. But thats not all, the daily bread's topic of the day was about marriage and my ex who msns me like once in 3 months did so that night. My friends, that was a 5-hit combo in all.
