Midweek Midnight

Wee Soon commented this evening that it felt great to be 'wild'. My interpretation of his wild would be free from studying all day long. We were playing a lousy game of pool then... it took the 7 of us (me, Wee Soon, Julian, Nay, Neeta, Wei Mui and Aland) 30 minutes to finish the game.

We were at 1 Utama for a farewell dinner for Nay who's going back home on Friday. We went to Italiannies, had loads of Sotong (fried calamari rings), a Classic pizza (very good) and a Classic Carbonara pasta (I thought it was too cheesy and beefy...bbrrrr).

After dinner, we got tickets for Warlords which was at 11.50pm. That left us with more than 2 hours to kill and we spent it wandering aimlessly in MPH til they had to close, followed by an hour of cramming round a small table in Starbucks taking weird pictures of our fist til they also closed, 15 minutes of sitting on a bench on the 2nd floor til the guard shooed us upstairs, and the rest of our time round the pool table.

Pool was actually quite interesting. We found out that everyone was really crappy with the ball and stick, and Nay always bent forward before Wee Soon (erm...). But everyone had a great time :)

Warlords was a U rated movie which was surprisingly brutal, violent and sexual for Malaysian cinema. The effects were really good, cast performance was commendable but I didn't quite like the storyline. It was basically about the brotherhood of these 3 warriors (Jet Li, Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro) and how they endured the war together. There wasn't much of a plot actually, just loads of fightscenes(good!), some sentimental oneliners and of course, a lady who's the gulahati(Sweetheart) of 2 men(Andy Lau and Jet Li). The ending was quite predictable. When 3 men pledged to die together, they'll all die in the end. Overall it wasn't too bad, but not fantastic.

The journey home was super smooth-sailing. There were hardly any cars on the road at 2.30am. There was a minor glitch though (I almost nicked another car at one time) and gave Aland and Nay a scare, but we arrived back at the hostel safely.

My Venti Iced Latte is super powerful. I'm wide awake!
