Another typical monday has gone by without much hassle, im currently having good terms with the new trainee gal who's seating right beside me...she is courteous and rather industrious too...the whole time while i was browsing the net she was working...but im not troubled by that, since i cud recall being an obedient worker-bee for the first couple of weeks when i came to Maxis...in times, she will start lagging TOO....haha..
I took off early yesterday to find that the traffic was pretty smooth....what a change, i thought...picked up a friend and we headed for 1-U...the movie was scheduled at 8pm, and we managed to get a not-so-lousy seat considering we bought the ticket an hour before screening...I have been waiting for Alexander since i saw its trailer couple of months back, and i know i would nv miss an epic film, and so here i am...The impromptu plan of catching this film worked out pretty well, and it was full-house...im impressed...since when ppl care bout history? or were they there to look at Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie? *grin*
We cruised the entire new wing looking for an eatery...stopped at Goodevening Bangkok, the pictures made me lost my appetite, i wasnt in for something spicy and soury...walked by Orca, no, malaysian cuisine doesnt tempt me at all...Fish and co, sounds too fishy...then there was this ShangHai and taiwan food thing, maybe some other time...Ramen, sounds alrite...then i suddenly thought of eating at Kenny Roger's, so that i can order the baked potato as a side dish, I have a sudden cravin' for it...We went on to search for KR excitedly but to no avail...at this point, im feelin' a lil' hungry, so i decided to go to Dome instead...
Dome, a regular diner for me, since im a such a coffee person and i like their pasta and pies and sandwiches alot....Also, whenever i cant decide where to eat (which happens all the time...), i would jz vote for dome and settle in for a meal or drink...As we were running out of time, i went for my usuals, Creamy Seafood Spaghetti and Ice Cappuccino, and the usual entree of toast sandwiches with ham and cheese...It didnt satisfy my tastebud for something really creamy, and i gathered from the waitress when she came to ask us of the food, that some customers have complained that it was previously TOO creamy that they cant consume it...Well, one man's meat is another man's poison, i guess...she suggested next time we could request for extra dairy and had even proposed few creamy-based food for us....we promised we would try 'em...there was no time for tiramisu...*sad*
The movie...i would give a rating of slightly less than 4 out of 5...firstly, no films are perfect, so a rating of 4.5 would be a perfect film for me...the minus point was due to the battling scene which was too typical, well, i figured that's how ppl fight in the olden days and that cant be helped...then, there wasn't much of emotions shown on the cast, AJ was OK, but CF was a lil' dump...all in all, i cant say i didnt enjoy the film, it's like history class coming alive relating the glorious moment of Alexander becoming the King and conquering cum exploring new land and territory...His ambition made him lost respect among his peers and followers, and in the end died of a conspiracy to put him to rest as they can no longer stand the suspense of not reuniting with their homes and families...
On an extra note, it was depicted in the film by Oliver Stones that Alexander had a lust for guys and there were few occasions that he was intimately involved with men, so maybe some of you wont be comfortable with it whatsoever...(it didnt bother me though..)..And that's it, a film worth watching IMO (in my opinion), and jz make sure u dun drink too much water to last u 3h throughout the movie...:)
