What a lovely evening, what an incredible day. Got up at like 5.30 am but still managed to get to work relatively late. I can so understand How Bridgette Jones manages to get late once you start looking at what you need to wear.

Black pants is always a winner, but the shirt didn’t go with the jersey and the jersey that did match the shirt needed an iron, but the iron was in the high cupboard and funnily enough the iron matched the jersey and shirt but there is seriously a limit to accessorizing.

The day starts with one of those massive meetings where the BIG BOSSES calls all of us into a meeting and they are like rearranging 60 of us on the floor. Which means the colleagues I am so used to are moving actually I am the one who has moved and I already miss my old seat!

Oh well, on a brighter note B and I managed to watched a movie very aptly titled Hot Fuzz.

If you know me well enough you oughtta know that I am not a fan of action but after rather a lengthy negotiation process (the Messengers reviews didn’t look all that good which meant I gave in) B and I watched a movie that excuse my pun (hmmn a hot cross bun would be good) blew me away literally!!

Its so stupid, its stupefying, its so funny you don’t laugh out loud but merely laugh in shock that it can be that good. When they mean to scare you, you literally jump out of your seat, LITERALLY, it happens once and NO I am not telling you where.

There was a deeper message, you don’t need to look for it, but its not one of those preachy movies, its not a feel good movie but one cant help feeling so thereafter.

Its not life altering but for the two hours it played, it sure as hell made those two hours ultra interesting.

five star, 10/10

Hello There

So I have had a crazy week, KD (my boyf) and I went to watch 3 Japaneese movies this week, all at the Movie festival.

Waterboys was the best of the three and I must admit one of the best movies I have seen in a really long time. It was really performed with passion, and the humour, aah I laughed me so silly and the guys next to me nearly choked on popcorn with laughter.
Its about these five nerdy outcast guys at a school who decide to d this synchronized swimming number for the school festival and the adventured ajoined to them in collaorating this performance.
It includes a shy teacher(its where the adventure starts), a trainer who has a more arped way of teaching than Mr Miyaagi (from Karate Kid) who has an almost alergic reaction to cool music, and ofcourse your usual "Cool" bunch of kids and a really strong cute girl that the main character falls for.
The cast includes a 'used to be cool kid" with an Afro (bare in mind he is Japaneese), the usual cute but unconfident boy, fanatical areobic dancer, a Japaneese drag queen and so much more.
I would give t 9/10 really super and I really was impressed.

Biliken, a sort of geni who makes wishes come true goes on many adventures with peoples strange requests somethimes he pleases and sometimes he mucks up, a 6 and a half out of ten.


Pulse, a horror which has alredy been done in America (why does America steal all the Japaneese Horror? Its almost as bad as Bollywood stealing from Hollywood), it was ok, and I am assuming its bette3r than the English version.
I screamed my guts out, I dont have the staminer for horrors like i used to and KD occasionall softly scratching me to freak me out even more doesnt help.
