V for Vendetta

Despite having lame teasers such as "Freedom!" and "An Uncompromising View of the Future", I must say that V for Vendetta is quite a nice show. Unique in a way. Never judge a movie by its (lame)trailer. It keeps the viewers on an edge till the end. Though the Wachowski Brothers had disappointed me in the last movie of Matrix, they have delivered this time in a form of a better show. All I can say is that it is set in a dystopia of Great Britain, in which the USA has fallen on hard times (quite amused by the fact that they refer to USA as the former United states...)


Superb acting by Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman. (the masked crusader V never ever revealed his face btw, and his repertoire of English vocabulary is ultra pro.)


Rendezvous at Plaza Singapura with Eddie, Alvin Ong and Zhengxian became a stayover at Thng's house. Had dinner at Manhantan Fish Market, which is a duplicate of Fish and Co. Even the frying pans and cutlery look strangely familiar. The waiter actually spilled water on our table! Thankfully, it was not my chocolate milkshake. (if not I would be very pissed off). We thought of being nasty, but relented since we felt that good begets good. (anyway, we had enough of that in the army and had no wish of imposing "nasticism" on others).


Sunday. Boils down to doing mundane stuffs such as cutting my short hair, DoTA, nappin, packing my kitbag for Taiwan...usual stuffs.


35 days in Taiwan. Place gift orders while stocks (and my money too) last!
