3 gigs, 2 quarrels, 1 movie and a busy Monday morning..

3 SF gigs over the weekend starting from friday night (aviva), sat (coke zero) and sun (HSBC women's golf tournament) really wore me out physically.

The movie Leap Years wasn't too bad, except for the several holes in the plots, unexplained things, abrupt cut scenes, cheesy lame script at times, utterly unromantic audience who kept laughing and making idiotic comments, lack of chemistry between the lead actors and actresses, and for the fact that I think I could've improved on the story line and end the movie with a bang, rather than a fizzle.

At the start of the show, you see a middle aged guy in hospital, possibly in a coma. Wife looks on helplessly (Joan Chen! they actually had some budget to get a hollywood star this time! wow!) at him n thinks back to the past. hahaha.. how cheesy right?

4 little girls who grow up into a group of bimbos. the main star is the one born on 29 jan (wong li lin of cos, one of the reasons why i actually bother to watch the movie in th first place, she's pretty hot for her age, haha) and dreams of meeting the guy of her dreams (no pun intended) on her birthday on feb 29. turn out they do meet but he is flying away from singapore (to where? for what purpose? and why is he carrying a bag of toy fans? totally no story development) and so they arrange to meet again on feb 29 the following leap year. (like what the heck, haven't they heard of phones, email, internet, etc?) by that time he's married and has a daughter. oh, and he tells her that AFTER they have sex. DUH. she gets pissed runs away, and then the fourth leap year gets married on (guess what?) feb 29. (the 3rd leap year she meets him at the cafe and pretends she's married and moved on with her life. the stupid things that a girl would do to get revenge eh? u hurt me so i gotta hurt u back, even if its even more painful for me. soooo stupid.) do a quick count. the first leap year was when she was 24. 3 leap years later, she's like, 36? and in between the leap years, she presumably does no dating n works like arobot? and of cos, last min at the wedding, she runs away to find the guy at the same place where they meet every leap year. get this, from the hotel she gets into a cab, then next scene u see her running so dramatically through heavy rain across the bridge (the one near the One fullerton hotel) and even an idiot has to laugh at the stupidity of this scene. why doesn't she take a cab to the cafe and meet him? is this supposed to hint at how difficult it is to get a cab at hotels? hahaha.. then of cos she meets the guy, he tells her that the mother of his daughter is dead and she's supposed to be the replacement mum. she gets amazingly happy n they embrace, then cut scene back to the hospital. apparently, after the happy couple get together, something happened which made the guy comatose. wife n daughter are sad, but of cos, the date is feb 29, n he miraculously wakes up from coma, the wife vandalises the glass wall with the word OK, then walks in and hugs the husband first, then the stupid daughter realises the door is open and walks in as well. i can't describe the scene correctly, you must see it for yourself to see how stupid ridiculously funny this last scene was.

and of cos, if i were the script writer, i would've linked the guy in a coma to the runaway bride at the wedding mah! like that then makes sense to the audience right? here's how MY ending would've been:

at the wedding night, after getting the letter from her dream guy, she runs out to find him at the cafe. she finds him there waiting for her, then dramatically carries his daughter up for her to see (she is across the road.) the little girl smiles and then he puts her down. then as the lovelorn couple runs toward each other in the middle of the road, a truck knocks the guy down, his daughter screams, wong li lin comforts her and this explains the whole issue of why he is in a comma.

brilliant isn't it? hahahaha... catherine lim, you got pwned.

and yes, i'm using my lunch hour to blog cos i'm bogged down with work the whole morning its horrible. like walking into a war zone when i stepped into office in the morning.

nothing much to say about the gigs, except that they were over all quite good, esp sunday's gig at the tanah merah golf course, and we had a fun time celebratin boon's birthday (again.) n ate the expensive punggol nasi lemak.

one whole weekend flew past just like tat. of cos i can describe the dramatic walking out of service part on sunday morning cos i was pissed off over some stuff, but i promised Joan i wouldn't blog the bad stuff down, only the good stuff. haha..

hope i can play at more weekend gigs and give me excuse to pontang jurong west service! irritating man, so far away, take cab so expensive. at least expo cab fare is like $13 plus, JW is like $17 plus man! furthermore, i'm much closer to the SF pple than my own cg pple, good friends like millie, ian, neo, chowkiat, robin, yuhong and many others. dunno why i wanted to transfer cg n thought adult cg would be better for me.. sighz. but then again, i'm too old to stick around in a youth cg liao.

sian just got scolding from boss, better get back to work. LOL...
