Went to see a doctor today for my eye. He said it was ok, the bleeding is not within the eye and should clear up within a week or two. Whatever it is... it's gross and the red is like spreading around the iris. Scary.
Went to Vivocity to catch Casino Royale. But before that, I decided to grab a burger at Carl's Junior. This is my first time at a Carl's Junior in Singapore. It's probably gonna be my last time for a long while. I was almost floored when I saw the prices! Basically, burgers went for around 7 to 8 bucks and combo meals were around 10 dollars! That's like twice of what other fast food places charged. Funny thing is, in the US, Carl's Junior isn't even a big chain and they don't look very popular. Here, it's like a gourmet burger. Well, I ordered a bacon and chicken burger which set me back by about $8. Verdict? It's big... taste pretty good... but I don't think it's worth $8. For that price, I'd rather sit down at a restaurant like Swensen's and eat their burger.
Casino Royale is certainly one of the better 007 movies in recent years. Pierce Brosnan was quite good but this Daniel Craig does play the role of a rookie 007 very well. At first I thought the story was a little sucky but luckily it wasn't at the end yet and the ending was more satisfying. A "highly recommended watch" from me.
Yesterday, i caught Battle of Wits. It stars Andy Lau as a strategist who tries to help a state from being invaded. It was billed as 'how a chinese epic movie' should be. Frankly, I don't think so lor. The story was fairly coherent and the battle scenes were executed well, but somehow, for me, it doesn't go into the 'epic movie' zone. In the end, the movie just felt above average. If you asked me, I think the most epic chinese movie for me has to be HERO and the next most enjoyable movie is FENG YUN. I didn't really think Crouching Tiger was that good either.
After Casino, went to get my hair cut and re-dyed coz the black hair was growing out from under the dyed layer. I don't really like what the stylist did. Right now, my hair looks even darker and blacker and the cut just feels wrong. Sigh. I always have this strange sense of fear when I sit in a barber's chair. You never know how it is gonna turn out coz you're pretty much at the mercy of the barber. It's worse when you wear glasses and have to remove them so you can't see what's going on through the cutting process. Oh well.. guess I'm looking for a job now so it doesn't hurt to get my hair into a more work-ready black.
