Memo# 10: Mall Hopping and a Review

Got up not as usual at 7.ooam today.

Went with Soo to watch a movie for no other reason than to leave the house.
It's a Wednesday so movie tickets are cheaper. We planned to watch Stranger than Fiction, a movie i hear being praised everywhere.

Took the bus to Karamunsing to send his some CD to reboot his computer.Since he called the shop and found out it only opened at 11 ( they opened half and hour later though) we had breakfast first. Went around 3 floors looking for the coffee shop. Karamunsing really has changed with more space and I just kinda got lost.So we went to 美食 Restaurant because I like the Kuching Kon Lau mee there. Soo wanted to eat Japanese Food...in the morning!!!

It was RM3.50 per plate to drop of which to me is more worth it than JAPANESE FOOD~!!!!! After breakfast gave the CD and walked to Centre Point to catch the movie at 12pm
Walk through Asia City Complex just to cool down and we still made it for the movie.

REVIEW of STRANGER THAN FICTION


Harold Crick isn't ready to go. Period.

When I first saw the trailer for this movie last year. I was sceptical. Most movie trailers give u a rough imagination of what the show would be about. But after watching the trailer. It gave me..nothing. I didn't have the slightest idea what the movie was about nor did it give me an impression to watch it. So after reading about this movie from other people. I decided to give it a try.

It starts out with an auditor with a seemingly boring and predictable job. The movie starts out with a narrator telling out his life's process and his thoughts until one day when he wakes up and brushes his teeth, he actually hears the narrator speaking. He becomes increasingly distracted with the narrator that it throws his whole life out of balance.

He hears the narrator say that he will be killed off so he tries to find help to figure out what is going on and ends up with a professor who is a pro at stories. He falls in love with a baker whom he was auditing and later starts living life that normally he wouldn't do such as playing the guitar or having a relationship with the baker lady.

While on the other end, the author who was writing the story about Harold Crick's life is having writer's block on how to kill her character's life.

In the end Harold meets the author and she is shocked to find out her character in the story is a real person. He persuades her not to kill him but the professor said he must be killed because it is her best masterpiece ever.

In the end.. it was quite a predictable ending but all in all I would say it's an above average movie. Very good plot and characters. I only felt the love relationship between Harold and Ana wasn't completely elaborated.

We went around CP looking for a shirt to wear for the Award Giving Ceremony on Saturday but since I'm broke,better just look around. For lunch, I decided to try Sean's drinking place called The Joint .It's in Api-Api centre somewhere in the middle.The food is not very expensive and they serve Sisha for RM10 (not like i smoke that stuff..Soo only enquired) and a Foosball machine.

Walked across to Asia City Complex and just roamed around looking for new things that were open..seems nothing much yet.
I dared Soo to walk up a sky bridge that is linking across a 6 lane street but since it was blocked..there must be something exciting like a hole or a broken railing up there..haha..when go up there..only got broken roof one...haha..nothing dangerous..
Then go back all the way back to Karamunsing to take back his laptop and just looked around the new extension until I went home.

Tomorrow morning have to wake up early again just to go school..haih...hahaha..
