THE POPCORN ADVENTURE

(Title courtesy of SJ)

Friends;

Be awesome always.

I don't care if we are complete fail;
I dont care if you all are embarrasing and enjoy screaming loudly in movie theatres.
I respect your love of eating random foods (I do too)
and I admire the sheer determination of you all to get to the movie theatre on time AND collect free popcorn and drinks along the way.

To the back-of-4Dy-class gang, Thank you for bringing me along for your outing yesterday. (:

Thank you, Salome, Cheryl, Nicole Lee, Nat Teo and Jillian. you guys made my day (:

To cut a long story short, yesterday I experianced my first outing with the guys mentioned above. Cheryl decided on impulse that I needed to get out from under my rock more during Amath sometime earlier this week and I got invited to go see wolverine with them. I wasn't very sure about whether this was a good thing or not, but Im still glad that I went.

In the end, we didn't get to watch wolverine because of the massive crowds that had the show sold out till 7pm. However, I got to watch my first NC16 movie, Taken. It was awesome.

I understand why it was NC16 tho. the main plot revolved around a girl that was kidnapped to be sold as a prostitute, and her awesome kick-ass better-than-james-bond father that tears paris apart looking for her. About a million people died and there was much violence. The only thing that probably turned me a bit off were the half-naked prostitutes. But hey, stuff was blown up, fights occured every ten minutes or so, and the plot was solid and execution of storytelling was good. If you guys are looking for a good thriller with a good lesson and much violence, this may be the movie for you. I just hope you dont cringe at the sight of skimpy ladies like I do tho. Makes you miss important points in the story.

Anyway. I learnt alot today. This is the list in no particular order:
1. Stupid girls that tell 'friendly' men that their alone in a foreign country are bound to be kidnapped. So girls, what important lesson have we learnt today?
2. great minds think alike, apparently. A million other SC girls also turned up in plaza Sing/ Cathay to watch movies. Its amazing how people look so different in outside clothes.
3. Salome still plans on cutting my hair for me again after O levels. She says this time my hair should have spikes. Yet again another reason to cut my hair soon. Before DY gets to it again. SHAM, I WILL NOT ALLOW MYSELF TO BE DRAGGED OFF TO A HAiR SALON AGAIn. NEVERRRR
4.The British Takeway's curry chicken is awesome.
5.Toxic blue bubblegum flavoured Gelato is awesome.
6.Free popcorn and drinks are not that awesome. And it is a bad idea to give said free food to easily shocked girls going to their first NC16 thriller. The result is popcorn flying everywhere whenever they scream. You guys, I still can't hear properly because of you!
7.Running all the way up Cathay to the very top is good exercise.
8.I am thankful for my running shoes.
9.Girls are hilarious. Especially when they are easily shocked.

:D

I think i still have popcorn in my ear.
