alrite, went out wif ah wan today @ yishun area. watched "Slumdog Millionaire" at Yishun GV. Went to the lib first cos we still had sometime b4 the screening.. the lib alot of ppl and nt enuff seats lor, nid to seat on the ground.. but the environment is quite gd, new library i guess? really a good conducive environment to spark interest in learning / reading unlike libraries of my time (old, dull places which had this solemn librarian staring at misbehaving kids).. oh well, i will try not to ponder too much over this, can "almost" feel the age gap alr... AHHHHHHHH!!!!!! well, the wireless access was cool, with great reception even tho i was kinda walking arnd. stable enuff to maintain msn and facebook! woohoo!
anyway, we proceeded to the theaters once the movie was abt to start. but, not to be racist or wat, the theater was dammmmnnnnnnnnnnnn crowded with indians.. i almost thot i had gone into the wrong cinema (cos GV yishun shows tamil movies, probably the only one to do so).. And the OST for the movie played b4 the show (filmed in india?) didnt help.. well.. it was ALMOST like watching an indian movie, relegated to reading subtitles wif "slanged" english pronunciation as well as the frequent tamil dialogue.. but that aside, its a GREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT movie! inspiring tale with its funny parts as well as a romantic love story abt the underdog from the slums. a true rag-to-riches tale based on the once-popular who wants to a millionaire franchise.. The events are beautifully linked to how he could answer the questions posed, yet able to tell the tale of his life.. something which only can happen in fiction i guess? reall cool show! do catch it be4 it ends (still haf some time at the point of writing cos it jus opened this wk..)
cheers!
