Pirates of the Carribbean: At World's End was pretty disappointing. At slightly less than 3 hours long, I actually found myself wishing that the movie would end sooner. I'm not a fan of long, messy sword-fighting scenes (oops, spoiler.)...but Johnny Depp is hilarious as the flamboyant and eccentric Jack Sparrow. Plus, I realised that underneath the dreads and heavy eyeliner, he's rather good-looking. I could file my nails on his amazing cheekbones. Sighhhh. Somehow Orlando Bloom doesn't have the same effect on me. I think his role as the wimpy Paris in Troy is to blame....speaking of Troy, I'm reminded of how Wei Yen, Yoggi and I would argue about who was Mrs Brad Pitt. (Mememememe!!!) HAHA. Anyway, I guess Orlando Bloom will always appear to me as a weak pretty boy. Keira Knightley also lends eyecandy to the movie, but unlike Pretty Boy, she lights up the screen with her presence and she really CAN act. She has really shed her tomboy image from Bend It Like Beckham...her gung-ho Elizabeth Swann is immensely likable and she even manages to look great in her manly Chinese pirate outfit. Strong-willed, feisty but at the same time feminine, alluring and devoted to the one she loves...I find that incredibly sexy.





Yesterday I bumped into 3 people I knew (or sorta), which is pretty rare for a Monday. First, I saw Gee Chong at Somerset MRT station, my cousin Kat's husband and father of CHLOE, my Michelin Man-lookalike 2 month-old niece. Okay, at this point, I simply MUST post a picture of her.

Ok fine, TWO pictures. Can you say 'cute'?

Second person I bumped into was Wei Yen, who was shopping with her Mum. Man, I'm suuper excited about Monday's Kbox sess! Heeheehee...the only sad thing is that Yoggi can't join us 'cos of work. Looking forward to seeing my ladies again. The third person was Persis, a senior from TJC who's an acquaintance...massive shock for Tuan. ;-)

Before the movie, we had a MASSSSSSIVE lunch at Billy Bomber's. Tuan had a "Yin and Yang", which was basically a mammoth burger with a beef patty & boneless chicken leg topped with cheddar cheese & egg sunny-side up. It was quite funny 'cos he had to open his mouth really big, especially for that first bite. I was rather grossed out by the dripping juices though...CARNIVORE DELIGHT. Eeek. I wanted to order the Caesar Salad with Croutons at first, but it wasn't available! That's quite odd, isn't it? I mean, salad is one of the most basic menu items! In the end I ordered the Club Sandwich and took out the really large chunks of chicken and extremely fat rashers of bacon for Mr Carnivore. They actually have a dessert menu. I think it would quite amazing for people to have room for dessert after their main course there!

A picture of me and Mr Photogenic (NOT FAIR!!) at Billy's. My bruise hasn't completely disappeared yet. :-(
