a cloud's fear of kites - November 25th, 2007

gosh..after what feels like ages being camped at home studying and distracting myself from study (but mostly working on inane assignments - that moby dick one being the worst of it all), i've finally enjoyed a pretty fun night out with kl and joel. we had a huge party plate of sushi at sakae, then saw beowulf without having any prior knowledge of it, except i remembered it as an important text in the gothic genre or somesuch thing...but was pleasantly surprised by how cool a movie it was. yes, i'm pretty much e typical audience hollywood targets, and i love graphics and CGI costing millions to make and otherwise mindless straightforward plots starring blockbuster actors, and particularly when executed in a lord of the rings style. love it. grendel was like a huge oversized and more pathetic version of gollum, and the dragon was simply awesome. the expressions on the characters did seem kinda plastic and fake but when the movie first started, i was confused momentarily as to whether it was real-life or CGI till kl confirmed that it was. so i guess that says something about how real the graphics look. it makes me wanna read the original text!

anyways we had a drink at the newly partitioned off part of pool junction which has become a bar cum soccer viewing chillout spot, and then some pool. and then finished the night off with the usual maggie goreng and teh aliah. mmm love it. meeting up with the boys was so fun! they can make me laugh so much at the dumbest things. boys.

exams are hardly on my mind now as i'm rewatching old simpsons episodes online to pass the time when i'm home...i guess after the hell i've been put through this semester, the exams seem more like a reprieve than anything else!
