What would you do during your free time? For me, it’s very straight forward. Accompany my lil’ sister to JP to buy some stuffs (like boxes of tissue papers, air refresher and what every girls needs during that period of the month, yes, PADS). And if someone asked me if they want to meet up for dinner and then movie, I agreed. So after shopping with my sister, I meet up with Sze Tien since Edwin is going home for dinner. Had dinner @ Benten and then booked the tickets online since we couldn’t reach Kean Lee at that point of time. Yes, I went to watch movie again. And guess what? This is 3rd movie for this week.
“Slumdog Millionaire” is what I watched today. I have been wanting to watch this movie when I first saw the trailer. And I am not that racist lah, why miss out a good movie just because it’s by some ‘bollywood’ actress/actor? The director is a BRITON by the way. Whatever it is, I shall talk more about this movie before I am side tracked. =]
The movie is about a boy named Jamal who grows up with his brother Salim. Their mother was killed in a hindu-muslim riot. And then Jamal commented that the little girl who followed them will be the 3rd musketeer. They were ‘resued’ by Maman (who uses the children he picked up on streets to beg) and thinks he’s God sent. One night, Salim was ordered to bring Jamal in to make him a better singer (blind) so that he will get more money. They escaped from Maman and Salim purposely let go Latika’s hand. After a few years, Jamal decided to go back to Mumbai to look for Latika and found out that she is a brothel and training to be a dancer/prostitute. When they tries to escape but was stopped by Maman. Salim took out a gun and killed him. They went to seek refuge and Salim went to Javed wanting to work for him. After that he claimed Latika for his own. Then, Jamal and Latika was separated once more. Jamal then work as a teaboy in a call centre which he then looked for Latika and Salim’s whereabout. Jamal got in contact with Salim (who invites his brother to live with him) found Latika when he tailgating Salim. Jamal urged Latika to leave with him but was rejected. Jamal then inform Latika that he will wait for her at the train station everyday at 5p.m until she comes. On the 1st day, she came to meet Jamal but was caught by Salim and gang (who then slashes her face to scare her). Jamal then appear in “Who wants to be a millionaire” because he knew that Latika will be watching. Jamal uses the last lifeline and calls his brother’s cellphone which was then picked up by Latika. They did not know the last question’s answer but Latika told him that she believe it’s written. Then Jamal won 20 million Rupees and caught up with Latika. And of course the movie ends with the usual bollywood dance.
Nice! Should really watch it if you have not done so. Of course, I didn’t write everything about the movie down here otherwise it will be pointless right?
I bumped into people whom I have not seen for ages! Oh my. First I bumped into Ray while I was having dinner with Sze Tien. Then while walking, I bumped into Chun Wei whom I have not seen for ages! And the last person I bumped into was Weikang. So fun because I don’t usually bump into so many people at JP at all. I know why! Because JP looks bigger now. I mean after the extenstion, there is definetely more reasons for you to go JP because there is a 24hrs fairprice xtra which is now my favourite place! Haha, and most importantly, JP has got almost everything you need! What more are you asking more? And I finally know why my netbook is more expensive after doing some research. It’s because I have a graphics card ok (nVidia GeForce 9300M GS which is switchable to the intel built in graphics card) which is not found in other cheaper netbook. I have a HDMI port which is not available in most netbook. 2 years international warranty. 3 USB ports. Whatever lah. Just stop saying my netbook is EXPENSIVE.
Ok lah, it’s almost time for me to sleep because I have to wake up early for my medical check up before I start working next week. Ciaos!
