first, i woke up at 8.30 am to Iman's sms..telling ME to wake up...now that has never happened before...at least not on a Sunday morning...in this relationship it is I who do the waking up...and not vice-versa...but Iman's full of surprises...
second, we caught a 12pm show...what's strange about that?..see point 1...Iman doesn't usually open his 'sepet' eyes before 12pm on Sundays...ok ok...maybe he does...occasionally...but he usually has a date with his i-ecology and won't finish steam and vacumming the house till after 12pm...
oh we caught...'where the truth lies'...which I thought was an good film...it was done in a film noir murder mystery movie style...with a first person narrative throughout the entire film...it was meticulous...the pacing deliberate...making you mull over the scenes...slowly replaying the entire events...reordering...retelling...
the cast was outstanding...kevin bacon and colin firth...
the storyline was utter trash of course...revolving around sex, deception, jealousy, rage and an anal sex, better known in Singapore as brokeback, scene..
but how it was told..? with a touch of class...and elegance...
what wasn't strage about the movie was that Iman didn't enjoy it...but i did...still he sat through the entire movie...might have fallen asleep a little midway...but he did wake up at 8.30 am...on a Sunday...so it was excusable...of course.
but he had a point...there were scenes which were slow...too deliberate...and the plot so thick... that it was difficult to see the point at times...but u know...me and miss-i-love-to-think-things-through-maybe-a-bit-too-much-some-times....really enjoyed it...
three, after the movie on the way back to the car...we were stopped for a survey...and one thing led to another and we found oursevels in an 80 minute timeshare presentation...which we had to sit through to get a 7 night free stay...in several places including Spain, etc...normally i would turn it down...but the poor pitiful girl...told me that if she brought us up...she'd get 100 bucks for it...what wasn't strange...was that i didnt' say no...u know i couldn't...
so it was an 80 minute presentation...the story was...we were engaged...getting married soon...and laa dee daa....it was fun...gave me a warm fuzzy feeling... iman spoke thorougly seriously to the lady about marriage plans...honeymoon destinations...and how his dream wedding could be orchestrated at half the price through this timeshare thingee...
but ya know...both our bank accounts aren't exactly loaded with cash...so after about 120 minutes...that's 40 minutes more than we had promised to sit through...we have a 7 night free stay to use before the year is up...maybe bali...that would be nice...
all in all...it was a strange sunday...but nice...definitely nice...
