a long-ish weekend

some light spoilers here, don't say I didn't warn you.

Friday was all about the Watchmen. It was funny, violent, thoughtful and good. Although I had to say some parts were completely unnecessary, and these were the parts that made the movie longer than it should've been. 2.5 hours. phew!

Even the 'villain' of the story had his reasoning which when you think about it, made a whole lot of sense - and so they weren't really the bad guys, if I can put it that way. So in a light, I liked the badguys, they knew what they were really up against. And I so agree when they imply that human nature is causing humanity itself to self-destruct.

The coolest character was easily Rorschach, and the overly shounen-type Batman-wannabe was quite slappable. Come on! haiyoh. There was this lesbian superheroine which I thought looked very cool but she didn't have much screen time which was sort of a pity, but oh well.

And the parodies of so many things too.. like the parody of God, the parody of Batman, the parody of Joker.. stuff like that. Loved the funny moments where Rorschach kept making height jokes at the dwarfed fella. And there were some other things too..

Oh yes! We think the censorship board just got tired of censoring too many things in the movie (just the amount of editing done to Dr Manhattan should be effort enough for them, I suppose) so they let some fun stuff on screen.

And the few real romances they focused on proves a point: nerds, have hope! =) Especially seeing how Janey Slater was REALLY pretty in my opinion. And she's a scientist too, how does that work?

Also it was the first time in a long time I got to see Salmy nee-chan! =3 She thinks Adrian (Ozzy! haha) is hot and having glomps/bear hugs from her is fun (of course, half the hug is for aichan)

Had dinner of pancakes with ojimaru before the movie.. the dude was senile that day (his brain told him to drive to 1U padahal we're watching the movie @ Cineleisure...>_>;;), and he blames lack of coffee. I've never seen someone more dependent on it than him. Maybe Marc, I guess. *shrugs* Which reminds me, I need to take chickenwing there again.. haha! We miss pancakes, do we not? =3

And I got my Kafka back! haha after.. a long time.. =P Shall read it again once I'm done with my current book. Maybe flip through Cloud Atlas again.. see what I feel like reading.

Saturday was a pretty lazy day. Just how I like it. =)

Oh, apart from helping kor move to guama's. That was like a sign of kor taking a step. Whether its big or small, toward or away from us, you know, we leave that to the future. I think it's a good-ish thing. Good-ish because he can gain some kind of independence without financially burdening himself in a bad way, take responsibilities, that sort of stuff. "-ish" because all the fun stuff in his HD I now have to drive to go and get instead of just running downstairs and bursting into his room. And of course the company.

Most of my Sunday I was at home since everyone else was out for the day. Having the house to yourself is really different. So.. quiet.

Got introduced to a friend of Rach's of which I didn't get the name.. yet. Haha since we had nothing better to do, so why not? *shrugs. It was interesting to meet an Aussie who can speak some kind of Malay dialect =P Although he kinda reminded me of Simon. bwahah! Imagine, the boring OS lecturer in the Army! Still, an interesting encounter.

After dinner we went to mamak & shisha with Yii May, Veronica, Peng, Dinesh & Aaron. Football was on that night, so for the most part we had our eyes glued to the screen. That aside we still managed to talk crap about everything and nothing and something about someone having to bang guys and not buses, with every pun intended. So yeah happy birthday Dinesh! =) This is a crowd I haven't had the chance to hang out with in a loooooooooooooooooong time. Which was nice. Griped about work, griped about people, discussed some reality shows and watch more football. Chillaxing should be like this. XD
