Finally there's something for me to blog about coz its been ages since i actually went out on a weekend!!
Was "tricked" to town by Calvin yesterday as he promised a not so crowded place, i hate going out on weekends with so many ppl around. Still, we went for a light dinner and chilled out at TCC once again, this time it was at Plaza Singapura. Is there any TCC membership card or something? Coz i've been frequent there quite abit and their coffee ROCKS! Chatting and chilling with a friend at cafe seems like an occasional thing for me right now, i felt soOoo much better after telling a friend wat has happened to me..esp the last few days where so much things has happened. Glad that there's a friend who is willingly to fork out time on the weekend and hear me talk.
We went for a movie at the Cathay and planned to try out the G-max Reverse Buggy after that, tts the reason of having a light dinner. Wanted to watch a lighthearted film that doesn't require much brain cells, so ended up watching...
The Holiday, a romantic comedy from the director of Something's Gotta Give and What Women Want, two women trade homes only to find that a change of address can change their lives.
Iris (Kate Winslet) is in love with a man who is about to marry another woman. Across the globe, Amanda (Cameron Diaz), realizes the man she lives with has been unfaithful. Two women who has never met and live 6000 miles apart, find themselves in the exact same place. They meet online at a home exchange website and impulsively switch homes for the holiday. Iris moves into Amanda's L.A. house in sunny California as Amanda arrives in the snow covered English countryside. Shortly after arriving at their destinations, both women find the last thing either wants or expects: a new romance. Amanda is charmed by Iris's homesome brother Graham ( Jude Law) and Iris, with inspiration provided by legendary screenwrite Arthur (Eli Wallach), mends her heart when she meets film composer Miles (Jack Black).

This movie was quite a let-down from the Director who produced excellent movies in the past. I could never forget how much i enjoyed his movie, "Something's Gotta Give" where these 2 folks fell in love with each other despite their differences, however "The Holiday" made me sit through the 2hrs and 15mins, thinking "when is this show going to end?!"
One word to sum up the show "Draggy"! It has gone into too much unnecessary details which i thought they should remove it to shorten the film a little. This movie is miles apart compared to 2003's "Love Actually" and no wonder the movie critics had given 2 stars out of 5 for it.
Save the money or watch "Charlotte's Web" insted.

After the film, i was feeling quite unwell so didn't try out Gmax, head home instead and caught a surprise. Now, when will i head out again?
