Somebody help me, I need to get out of this holiday mood. :/
Friday Met Jon at Vivo in the evening, had Carl's Jr. for dinner (again) and caught The Brothers Bloom. :) It was a sort of indie-ish movie but enjoyable nevertheless. Adrien Brody is simply awesome and Rachel Weisz did a really good job too. I didn't know she could act that well, I've only seen her in the first two instalments of The Mummy series, haha. Walked around a bit after that and Jon suggested we try the freezing chamber in the National Geographic shop. ._. Didn't in the end though, I was already feeling cold from sitting in the cinema and we weren't exactly dressed for it. :/
Saturday Went to Jon's to study and ended up bumming around as usual. x) Wimbledon, playing wall tennis with our hands and a squishy ball, Last Comic Standing... I didn't even touch the work I'd brought, and when we did sit down to try to get something productive done I had to teach Jon complex numbers. Which is revision for me I suppose, so that's something at least. x) I must say I'm quite thankful that we don't get questions as hard as the ones in Jon's math notes and exercise books, he learns the same things and yet the degree of difficulty seems to be way above ours. :/
Sunday Majorly long day. I was out for what I think is a record sixteen hours, from 8.45am to 12.45am. :o Church with Jon's family in the morning, followed by a huge lunch at the new Chili's at Tanglin Mall (I'm gonna get fat), poker at Russell's until 8.30pm and a double-date dinner and movie at Jurong Point with Jon, Daphne and Benjamin. :) Poker was alright, we were nine-handed and I folded a lot when I should've stayed, causing my stack to dwindle until about an hour before the game ended and my luck began to kick in. I then managed to triple up and came away with a profit of $31. :D Gotta remember that patience usually triumphs in the end. :)
Watched Transformers 2 at 10pm. It was better than expected and definitely not as crappy as the reviews made it out to be. Plus, the tomboy in me has to admit that the morphing and stuff is kinda cool. x) It's pretty darn amazing, the amount of CGI and attention to detail that must've gone into that.
Jon kept covering my eyes when Megan Fox or Isabel Lucas came onscreen in case I "turned lesbian and left him". ._. Um, shouldn't it be the other way round? Jon claims he doesn't see the appeal in Megan Fox but I'm not sure I believe him completely. I mean, come on, every guy on the planet is in lust with her, although I personally don't think she's all that (smoking body, honeyed voice, too bad about the face). She and Isabel Lucas (who in my opinion is better-looking) ought to have switched roles, Megan fits the "slutty killer fembot" bill and Isabel the "sweet girly heroine" stereotype more snugly.
versus
If I didn't know anything about Transformers and had to wager on who played what, I would've chosen Megan as the fembot immediately. Then there would've been more of Isabel to ogle. :) I guess Jon was right to be worried, I do like looking at hot girls in movies. Hahaha. x)
What irked me about the show was the strange relationship between Megan and Shia LaBeouf's characters. The setting of Transformers 2 is two years after Transformers, and Megan and Shia were supposedly together for that entire time. Yet, at the beginning of the movie, their main problem was that they hadn't said "I love you" to each other because neither of them wanted to be the first to say it. Okay, I really don't understand that. How can anyone be together for two whole years and still not have said those three words? I'm a romantic realist, and while I believe the connection that is love does take a long while to build, two years is a little too long. :/ Then, later, upon catching Shia cheating on her, Megan simply walked away calmly. Most people would've blown up or broken down, or both. Anything besides the emotionless expression Megan had. I suppose that explains the lack of "I love you"s, tsk. :/
Anyhow, when the movie was done Jon sent me back in a cab, which took less than five minutes. Slept around 2.15am and woke up at 9.15am today despite how tired I was and the fact that there's school tomorrow. Rawr. :/ I desperately need to get it into my head that the holidays are over and I should therefore be sleeping earlier and working harder. I hate being JC2, I honestly do. I also (sometimes) really hate the fact that Jon's a year below me and in IB, if he wasn't we'd at least be suffering at the same times and enjoying ourselves at the same times, instead of his mid-year exams ending this Wednesday and me having to work my backside off nonstop until late November. :/ Not to mention he'd probably be in ACJC, perhaps in my class. Imagine that. :) *Goes into a daydream*
Which reminds me, school term or not, I must catch Harry Potter when it comes out later this month. :) And My Sister's Keeper, which Singapore is horribly slow in releasing. Jon refuses to watch it with me, I lent him the book ages ago, he got bored with it halfway and then somehow misplaced it. It hasn't been found to this day, so I can't even re-read it before seeing the film. Pfft.
I got teary-eyed just from watching the trailer. :)
Quote of the day from Jon: "Oh man I'm cute. I think I could fall in love with myself." ._.
Shall go and do some chemistry revision now. Happy belated birthday Sammi and Caleb, and happy birthday in advance (tomorrow) Jeslyn! :D
