Of Cinema and monkeys

It's incredible!

I went to a cinema!

I've never been to a cinema. well...... okay, fine... not for 2 years anyways.

I went to the Mega 21 Cinema theatre to catch "Casino Royale"... t'was ub3r c00l... with the exception of many ppl's handphones ringing during the movie, the flickering film defects (the screen was not digital, i guess), and the letter "W" written on the screen where the Censorship Board removed R-rated scenes (that's why children like me or even 5 year old girls can enter.) (yes, a five yr old girl was sitting in my row with her mommy and daddy)(i was with my 2nd bro and his girlfriend, who rarely visit the cinema, too.), the cinema was ok... not the best in Indonesia, but the tickets are uber cheap... Rp25,000 flat = between SG$4 and 5.

oh, btw, the movie gets a 5 out of 5... there's lots of twists and turns, lots of exciting moments, lots of unexpected happenings. it's best not to know the duration of the movie or the time, so don't look at ur watch. this way, u will never know when the movie ends (unless u read Ian Fleming's book, then too bad). And i guess Daniel Craig isn't a bad actor... and the bond girl really reminds me of Nelly Furtado...

I must warn... the movie is very obscene... there is nudity, but in Indonesia, these are well censored. I do not know how things are in Singapore, so if the rating does not allow you to watch, then just chill and wait till u're older before buying the DVD.

o, one complaint: there's lots of advertising...
for example,...

-we all know that the Bahamas has high class resorts which use the Sony Blu-ray BDP-1 players as recording media for surveillance.

-we know that James Bond loves Sony, so he has a Sony Vaio and a Sony Erricson K608i. The Bond girls also loves Sony, and she uses the Sony Erricson M600i and a Sony Cybershot camera. ---EDIT: Wilson said it's a K800i, not 608i.

-James Bond loves the Aston Martin Cars.

-He loves Martini.

-He loves Omega watches to Rolex...

and one more thing... this is supposed to be a prelude to Dr. No (the First bond movie.). So how come they're so advanced? Blu-ray for surveillance, GPS for the average person, Sony Walkman are MP3 players without tape players. like, i'ld say "whoa! the '70s is more advanced than 2005!" Sony is dumb...

and why are there 4 BDP-1s? PS3 need more of those!!!

after the movie, we went to Senayan City Mall for dinner and late nite shopping. (They had a midnight sale from 10PM to midnight, though they only closed much later because of the terribly long queues). amazingly, many things were on a "2 for the price of 1" discount... but they were lame...

o, my bro and i didn't buy anything... and since my bro's gf's family was there, we left her with her family while we went home...

and today, i didn't eat breakfast coz i overslept and my whole family (except my mum, at church and my dad, had to renew the documents of the LX470) was rushing to go to church... we got stuck in a traffic jam (2, to be exact, but this is Indonesia... 2 is still small). we only arrived @ 11.47am... 3 minutes to the end of the service, or so it should have been... apparently, the service today ended @ 12.47pm. However, my family did enter for a while and dropped my nephew for Sunday School. So don't say i didn't go to church.

After that, lunch alas. sushi never made me this sick before...

and finally, we went somewhere near where i live... in Pantai Indah Kapuk to check out some monkeys... (my mum always wanted to see them... so did my nephew.) we saw more than we should... from fights, to greed, and to lust. but, nevertheless... we fed the monkeys. we were in our cars, since these monkeys are not known to be friendly. (they're wild, people.... they're wild)

sorry for the long post, btw...
