It feels good to be able to go out into the crowd and feel some of the vibes, despite the long-lived rain which has been falling since morning. The initial idea to bring Mum out for lunch was killed off by the lady herself, who was recuperating from an 8-hour shopping trip yesterday. Oh well. all the better.
And all I could do after Jack finished installing his desktop was to gape in awe. The 22-inch screen made my computer screen look like some undergrown vegetable. The LCD display was beautiful as well, with vibrant colours leaping at you with every click. And the price was definitely justified. *Envious* And I could still recall him helping me choose a monitor just 11 months ago at Sim Lim, AND helping me to lug it to the MRT station. Haha. How time changes alot of things, like it changed the two of us. For the better, of course.
Despite all my whining for the past 3 days, it didn't quite pay off. Screen version of Twilight was a myriad of messy pictures and sound put together. It looked like a total disaster piece next to it's inked sibling, with the broken plots and abrupt ending (as what Jack said). But of course you have to give the director and cast credit for attempting to condense a 2-inch thick novel into a movel, and getting most of it right. Apart from Edward (who managed to hold my attention for the first half of the film), Carlisle Cullen (Edward's foster father) was the head-turner with his striking good looks and Grease hairstyle. He looked absolutely stunning. Oh, and the piano-playing part was real. Suppose no one knows that Robert Pattinson's trained in classical piano. Bella's character didn't come out right as well, with her looking more confused than confident in front of Edward most of the time. Hello?! I thought Bella was supposed to be strong, independent, plus no aversion towards Edward? Apart from that, the rest was a disaster. I was thankful Jack was there, so I could distract myself at some parts of the movie.
