The Pensieve

Rating: ***.5/*****
Genre: Romantic comedy
Check out the official site! (especially the music!)

Starring Hugh Grant, with his British charm turned full blast, and his pelvic thrusts ever so often being demonstrated on screen… He’s an instant charmer, acting as Alex Fletcher, a has-been musician in the once popular POP band. Now, he’s been hired by one of those BOA-like Hindi-cum-spiritual-cum-sexual pop singer to write a song within like a few days… He enlists the help of Sophie Fisher, endearingly played by Drew Barrymore (one of my personal faves) to write up the song. It’s a lovely little romantic comedy peppered with catchy songs. Both are able to sing pretty well too…

I really am going to keel over from fatigue soon, so I shall end this with a lovely quote from Sophie…

Music is like the passion and the sex… But lyrics, that’s when you get to know the person, you talk to them and you understand them…
(sorry couldn’t remember the exact words)

And the corniest quote ever, which I heard, only 3 people in the entire cinema caught on…

“I want to show you the roof! It’s upstairs!”
— Cora to Sophie, when Alex tries to drag Sophie home from the party…

It’s wedding bells a ringing for my cousin again! I mean, for another cousin, sister of the one that got married last year. :) Was held at Orchard Parade Hotel. Haha…

This is really like shuang xi lin men cos the one who got married last year is now awaiting his firstborn excitedly… Dinner was great, and cos of some logistics reasons, I got to sit at the VIP table. That has got its perks though :)

Perks: You get served first, your table’s the nicest, and you get like more food… haha but also cannot finish. The food was gooood! I especially find the wasabi prawn very unique. :) Tangy, sourish, fresh and crsip mint, with a whiff of wasabi, lightly fried, yumyum!

Downs: Hmmm, a lot of pple looking at the VIP table lah, so gotta behave properly… haha… People will wonder who you are and why so young sitting there… So I try my best to look like my uncle’s newly adopted god daughter or something. Lolz…

My newest cousin-in-law was suffering from ‘morning sickness’, so poor thing… couldn’t even finish her shark’s fin. Heh heh…

Aiya, then as usual weddings you know… All that sparring amongst relatives, the joking, blah blah… And then sigh. Now they all know that I’ve completed my studies so…. You know what I mean…

So tired now… more to follow! Been sooo tired playing these few days!!!
