Movies.

Within the past 2 weeks, we (the girlf and i) have caught 3 movies. Date Night, Kick-ass and Clash of the Titans. I'll give a review on each of them from memory.

Date Night:

This is a typical romance comedy, which isnt a bad thing. Why ruin a formula that works? The premise is a married couple whose lives have gotten boring and they steal a table from a couple only to get chased around the city by a gang and making the audience laugh. The show wasn't exactly laugh till you cry, but it was good humour.

There is one notable scene, which was the boat scene, which was hilarious!

And why should you catch the show? Because, there's James Franco, and there's an R8 that gets wrecked. Those 2 points are more than enough. So go catch it if you haven't.

Kick-ass:

The show is about this dude who isn't really anybody in school try and be a superhero without any real skills or powers. He's slightly successful until he gets noticed by 2 other masked vigilantes and subsequently by the city gang boss.

The show's really dark, but with great performances by Nicholas Cage and that 12 year old girl. Its as awesome as it can get. The fights are nicely choreographed and i'd watch it again when it comes out on dvd.

Clash of the Titans:

Centres around a greek demigod dude called Perseus and the usual greek god suspects, Zeus and friends with fiends like medusa and the kraken.

So this dude goes on a journey to avenge his foster family, falls in love with a rather hot greek chick, kills monsters and then finally banishing Hades back into the underworld.

Doesn't seem like much, but the whole show is a visual feast! Everything moves so fluidly. And compared to "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief", its less of a butcher fest by Hollywood.

Why you should catch it if you haven't? The pegasus' (pegasi for plural?) make it seem like the main character is on shrooms the entire time, with references to Harold and Kumar.

I'm looking forward to Iron Man so much, only 9 more days left!

Singapore its strengthening its dollar against the greenback and thus means a stronger Singapore dollar vs other currencies. The Aussie dollar has fallen against the Singapore dollar slightly in the past 2 days. Lets wait and see....

This, is good news for Kenny and the sister.. right!?

Temperature.

The temperature now has fallen, having an average maximum temperature of about 20 degrees and an average minimum temperature of about 10. So its constantly around 15 degrees.

The weather's awesome, and there's an area that snowed, called falls creek, i should check it out soon. Snow this year, sounds exciting.

Durian.

Just had durian just now, a box of a malaysian breed of durian. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't damn good either. I miss ah loong and ah teck.

Street trash.

You've got litter on the streets such as cans and paper/plastic bags and wrappers and other unwanted refuse that people discard. And that includes people.

There are 4 or 5 homeless people that come by my workplace, out of that 4 or 5, 1 is an asshole. He never has cash for anything, and he expects to be given food for free. He hasn't come around for awhile now, which is a good thing, since i always have to suppress the urge to bash his cocky debt ridden face in. The other homeless that come by can, surprisingly, pay for their shit.

Then now there are the tiprats and skanks that prowl the area. Youing girls around 15 or 16 pretending to be stranded and asking for money to go home, or begging for drinks citing thirst but refusing water. Its weird isnt it, that they can afford cigarettes but cannot afford to go home.

And finally, the bogan male, the counterpart of the tiprat, acting like punks, probably hiding a blade and generally causing trouble. Someone ought to beat the shit out of them, but i'm no kick-ass, so i'll leave that to someone else.

Work.

Having a part time job is far from lucrative but having the spare cash is a great help most of the time. Being able to afford that extended stay at lakes entrance, and stuff like that. And uni life seems to be less hectic than that hell hole called foundation studies. Even though uni is, in a way, tougher.

Time management is easy, as work is flexible, i can do mornings, then go to school in the afternoon, or vice versa, pretty cool that my job's like that.

And there are the perks, such as free flow fries, might be a one way street to obesity, but i'm controlling myself. And food that isnt sold can be taken home to munch on. The girlfriend loves them fried wings, so most of the time, there are 2 that aren't sold.

And the biggest perk of all should probably be the proximity of this place to home, its a 10min bus ride, that's not considering the wait, which is pretty cool. I could walk home if i wanted to, that's if i wanted to, i'm not usually that crazy.

And so, now i'm at work, i'm functioning less than usual because i'm lacking in sleep, but its alright because i'm hardly busy right now. Things will pick up in an hour or so, but all i'm doing is sitting around.

So what exactly does my job consist of? I man the snackbar, i deep fry stuff, i collect money, i sell drinks, and function like the old indian dude at the mamashop in a singaporean context.

There are drawbacks of course, like getting spluttered by hot oil and being bored now, but i take home 10/hour, and being 10mins away from home, that's not a bad deal, considering the fact that i earn at least double what most part timers get in singapore, and i do close to nothing.

And now, i'm slightly less bored, so i'll open a can of coke, and chill out for a bit.
