To Sinema

So the Singapore International Film Festival hits us again. We mark the shows we want to watch and clear our schedules to catch them. Obviously Anvil is a hot favorite this year.

On a lovely sunny Saturday morning, the man unceremoniously dragged me out bed, dumped me in the car and drove to Sinema to catch the free screening of 18 Grams of Love.

I hadn't watched this film. Didn't like the sound of it. But the man wanted to watch it. So off I had to go. I only realized it was a Chinese film when the show rolled on. And about romance at that. I was so damn grouchy.

Well, the film was really much better than many big and small screen Singapore Chinese films. This one was quite humorous at some points, not too cheesy and not too mushy.

Still, I don't like this genre of shows. They make the eyeballs roll. I wished I had spent Saturday morning in bed, saved for the yummy lunch we had after. I also cheered up considerably at the clear sky. That heat made for a wonderful mid-afternoon swim session.

not related to the post, but when i see the pic, i realise i miss seeing white clouds in blue sky. over here, on a clear day, it's completely clear with no clouds. it's nice too but with some shapely whites to contrast the blue it's stirs our imagination too. hee.
