The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Time for a Movie Review!

Haven't been watching much shows lately. But this movie is rather disappointing. I loved the LotR series so I was really looking forward to this show. Luckily Nut had free tickets for us and therefore Dear and I went to catch this show together at GV @ Marina Square. It's Nut's company event for free movie screening, complete with popcorns and soft drinks. How cool is that?

This movie is made up of several mini-movies. An almost three hour show, broken up into mini scenes. There's a scene of Bilbo Baggins, the Hobbit, being made a fool by the thirteen dwarves when they took over his house and created havoc. Then there's a scene of all of them fighting with some mountain trolls. Then there's the part where everyone has been waiting for. Bilbo encounters Gollum, and they play a riddle game. Not much of the show really sinks into my mind. But there is one part whereby Bilbo applied what Gandalf taught him, to spare Gollum's life, which is rather meaningful.

It's really a show for LotR fans. Not much can be said about the plot. Of course it's unfair to compare this to the LotR series. But on an individual level, the movie still does not live up to my expectations. 3/5 stars.

Mini JC Classmates Gathering

It's been a while since we last had a JC classmates meet-up. Today it was BK, HM, HS, Barry and I also asked NZ along since we initially wanted to meet for dinner on Tuesday but several other GIP guys couldn't make it so I decided to ask him to join us today since he also knows HM. And so we went to Marina Square's MOF for dinner. It's kinda nice to catch up with old friends, knowing about everyone's latest developments. Of course, now our topic has evolved from studies, to army, to work, to marriage, to getting a house etc. Maybe the next time we meet up we could be talking about babies lol. That's just the way life goes. And oh... BK is changing job again! As usual, everytime we meet up, someone is bound to change job or status lol.
