Jack had to get on with his preparation for his FYP presentation tomorrow, so I decided to stick by him, with a James Patterson novel as good company. I never understood how Patterson made it look like a no-sweat job as he churned out each of his masterpieces. I downed Double Cross and Lifeguard within 3 days, and I'm definitely going back for more.
Megamind, I'd reckon, is a kindergartener's definition of a blockbuster. I sat through the first 30 minutes wondering if we did justice to our wallets by choosing this movie over the others we wanted to catch, because the plot seemed so predictable and most of it had already been shown in the trailer. But I loved the great twist in the middle and the kind of message it brought to the little tykes sitting in the cinema. This movie actually reminds me fondly of UP, if anyone remembers. I like such clean-cut, profanity-free movies once in a while to cleanse our usually-heavy diet of violent and gory films.
Oh, and I made some cheese tarts yesterday afternoon purely out of boredom. I'm the go-getter, not the sit-here-and-wait-to-die kind. And I like how my December calendar is filling up with activities everyday. Concerts, boardgames, tuition, the Malaysia trip and, most importantly, having Dad back with us for 2 weeks. The gruelly study routine in school has, unfortunately, made a fervent workaholic out of me.
