Exhale

Whee. Went to celebrate end of Prelims [well. End of all the main papers anyway. Just practicals and Maths left] by watching Pirates of the Carribean at Lido with Ann, Pea and Gwen. The entire level was plastered with promo posters for Pirates; Orlando Bloom's face assaulted us from all directions! Ann got really excited as she pondered over how to steal all the Orlando posters without the ticket collectors seeing but was distracted when some woman came over and started asking whether we were interested to be models for her makeup. Then she threw her namecard at us with this slightly patronizing smile before sashaying away ["call me anytime!"]

Ann: *after a bit of silence* Is she insulting us saying we need makeup??!!

The movie was pretty fun even though Ann and I had watched it before. We sandwiched Gwen and Sylvia and bombarded them for the 1st 15 minutes.

Me: *whispering to Sylvia as the opening credits roll by* This is so exciting!!!
Ann: *young Will Turner, the protaganist, appears on screen* That's Orlando Bloom!!!
Me: *whispering to Gwen* This is so exciting!!!
Ann: *grown Will Turner appears on screen* Ahh!!!!! Orlando!!!!
Me: *Johnny Depp's character appears onscreen* Ahhh!!! Johnny Depp!!
Ann: Orlando!!!!

But we managed to settle down after the initial excitement.

Hah. Then for the rest of the movie, had to put up with those 2 gigglers behind us.

*at every single funny scene*
Giggler #1: *makes a sound akin to a hyena* AHAHAHAHAHAA!
Giggler #2: AHHHH!!!!! AIYO! THE MONKEY IS SOOOO CUTEE!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!
Giggler #1: AHEHEHEHEHEHEE!
Giggler #2: AHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!! OHMIGOSH!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

*every single scary scene*
Giggler #1 and #2: *scream in unison* AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *get over initial fright and start laughing nervously* AIYOOO! AAHHAHAHAHHAHA!!!

*turning point in plot*
Giggler #1 and #2: *quiet for a grand total of 8 seconds before they get it* ORHHH.......NO WONDER LIKE THAT ARH....OHHHHHHH... WAH ...SO INTERESTING HORH!!

After the movie Pea gives me some black look: "Who the hell were those 2 people behind us?? They were laughing at parts which weren't even funny! And they act like they've never seen a movie before! So tempted to tch at them!"

[Only I guess we kinda acted like them with all our squealing at the beginning of the movie :P]

Hopped over to Fareast and then went opposite to Galleria.

Ah. Never go to the Galleria unless you have a really fat wallet or are one of those Jap tourists willing to pay a 100 over bucks for a Polo shirt.

3 pairs of earrings in a quite-pretty looking cardboard box cost 49 dollars!

And water at the juice bar is $4.50! [so what if its sparkling??]

Though for such a pricey place their toilets are very underinvested in :|

Lesson learnt: The best way to eat Herbal Jelly without tasting the bitterness is to i) pour a whole cup of honey over it ii) gulp it down very quickly.
