Summer Rain
I never thought I would watch this but I'm glad I did. Met up with Sean Paul and Jason again before SP flies back to Aussie on Thursday. And we decided to catch this new thriller.
Honestly, when the initial trailers were released, I wasn't sure whether it'll be worth my 10 bucks because it seems so confusing, leaving me wondering what this whole plot is about. But stellar reviews and curiosity eventually made me more hyped up about this latest Nolan film and I took my chances.
The beginning of the film was really messy and confusing. I took a while to absorb what's going on. And then the storyline became much clearer to the point where I felt immersed in it. With a great cast, wonderful visuals, Nolan's fantastic and unique concept combined with Hans Zimmer's perfect soundtrack, "Inception" is a winner in its own right.
Rating: 5/5
Took a short tour around *SCAPE which I thought was a nice place for youths to hang out.
Anyway, I guess I haven't mentioned about the surprise lunch treat from CBH last Wednesday. It's nice to know that he still remembers his NS men. And it was good to catch up with my friends as well.
Time passes so quickly.

Getaway
Forced to watch this last night with Jason and Sean Paul. Well, having watched none of the previous films, I personally felt that "Eclipse" was quite an average B-List film. It started out quite intense that I thought it would turn out to be a cool vampire flick, but then it progressed to numerous draggy scenes. Honestly, if I were Bella, I would have killed myself. The only thing worth mentioning about this film was the battle scene at the end. Kinda Narnia-like though, probably because of the similarity between both films' battle arenas. And I gotta commend on the soundtrack. The songs are really good. But overall, I didn't really enjoy it that much.

Had a traumatic experience with STARS yesterday afternoon. In the end, I couldn't get my desired time-slot for 213 tutorial. Heck, I'll probably just crash another class.
Now, I gotta pray that I can get the electives I want.
Having a friend with a car and just driving around aimlessly is quite a fun thing to do, as I realised yesterday when Sean Paul drove us around in his Dad's BMW. It's so much more convenient, and you can go anywhere you like.

I Want A Minion
Caught this yesterday with Jason. Real funny movie! Steve Carell is amazing as always. His made-up accent was so good! But I thought the little yellow minions and their countless gags were the ones who stole the show. They created the majority of the funny stuff in the entire film. So if you guys want a good laugh, check this out.
Rating: 4.5/5
Met up with Sherman and Hamiley for dinner after the movie. Manhattan Fish Market was alright though, but I thought Fish & Co. beat them hands down.
Registering courses later! Hope I can get the slots I want. Cross my fingers.

Pop Fest
Copped 2 new albums that I've been waiting to get for ages! First off is Enrique's bilingual effort, "Euphoria", which title pretty much sums up the overall vibe and mood of the album. The English songs are mostly Dance/Pop/Electronic songs produced by RedOne and featuring prominent artists such as Pitbull, Akon, Nicole of PCD and Usher. On the other hand, the soothing Latin songs are mostly about love and heartbreak. Stand-outs from the album are, "I Like It", "One Day At A Time", "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" and all the Latin songs. There's bound to be something for everyone!
Rating: 4/5
The next album is Kylie's 11th studio effort, "Aphrodite". If you guys are aware of the meaning of the word "Aphrodite", then you'll know that the songs on this album are mostly about love. Helmed by the lead single, "All The Lovers", "Aphrodite" is filled with upbeat Dance/Pop songs that will send you into euphoria. And that is the result of Kylie working with one of the best music producers of all time, Stuart Price, who also executively produced Madonna's "Confessions On A Dancefloor". Chance is, if you dig Kylie's 2001 album "Fever", you'll dig this too and more. Stellar tracks include "All The Lovers", "Get Outta My Way", "Too Much" and "Can't Beat The Feeling". Do check it out!
