Movie Yesterday, Badminton Today

*Warning: Contains I AM LEGEND spoilers

Caught I AM LEGEND with the kinky lesbian sisters and ling zhi last nite and it was dam good...It was a nail-biting, edge of your seat kind of show which plays with your emotions throughout...Just ask Crustacean who at one point, jumped backwards into her seat (the cheap shock when the lion pounced on the deer) or ling zhi whose sobbing (when the dog died) could be heard a few seats down...As for myself, i admit it: i'm a real wuss when it comes to horror movies and thrillers...And this one was no exception though most of u are likely to say "scary meh?" YESH! Scary! Especially the part when he entered the dark abandoned apartment to look for his dog...I mean i've watched zombie flicks like Resident Evil before but what was scary about this show was that it was very real...No big guns, no kung-fu dishing babe, no gore for the sake of gore...Rather, it presented a frighteningly real possibility grounded in realistic rather fantastical, superfluous imagery and concepts...

And okay...I nearly cried when the dog died...Being a dog-lover and having a dog myself, the scene was especially moving...There's just something extra innocent about dogs that make them so endearing...Their loyalty, their non-judgemental eyes, their silly but genuine ways...I mean u can be ugly, skinny, a total a-hole and they'd love you just the same...They'll still be waiting at the door for you when you come home and they'd still be sad when you leave...So yeah...Dogs rock!!! On a separate note, it reminded me of my best fren peppy and how he would one day leave me like everything else would and the prospect of this was terribly upsetting...I dun think anyone can ever get over loss...One can only cope with it...

Overall though, it was a great nite...And though we brought cards to play, we ended up talking through dinner...Here are the photos:

This morning, i woke up and immediately proceeded to bid for modules after breakfast...After deliberating for about 3 hrs and with the help of Crustacean, i finally decided to do a GEM B as a UE and 'Health claims' as my science gem...Just hope i have enuff pts to get them...Then decided to try our luck at tampines to play badminton...It was supa fun and i cudnt stop laughing at some pts cos we were so competitive (what with slaps at stack) that we would try to bluff each other regarding the score that was being kept...In the end, though Crustacean's pretty good (i think she's being secretly training for this day), i stil won..But of cos, being the gentleman that i am, i din slap her...In fact, she slapped me real hard across the face instead for no reason when i was about to send her home...Strange gal...
