So i'm post call today...slept about 5.30am...till almost 8am...passed over to the person on call today and went home...slept till about 12pm...Elaine called...saying that she and Siang Lin were already in 1 Borneo...so i dragged my groggy self off the bed and bathed...i don't think i really slept well...i was just kind of hovering at the sub-conscious level...being aware of the slightest sound and movement... still i wasn't going to pass the chance to watch Gerard Butler in The Ugly Truth...oh, and as i was rushing out of the house, i saw a package for me...Jasmine must have received it while i was sleeping... squeal!! so happy!!!.:)..don't usually receive packages...
Reached 1 Borneo about 1.30pm...we had Bak Kut Teh for lunch...haven't tasted Bak Kut Teh in a while...movie was at 2.45pm...so we still had time to shop around...found myself a nice bedsheet...and Elaine always managed to buy herself something whenever she goes shopping...we went into the cinema just a bit after 2.45pm...GSC always have 15 mins of advertisement before the movie starts...oh, and they were showing the trailer on M Night Shyamalam's new movie...The Last Airbender...it's an adaptation from the anime...Pei's gonna be so excited about this...it's a must watch...hehe...
So, The Ugly Truth...i was actually hoping i wouldn't fall asleep coz i was still quite sleepy...well, i needn't have worried...it was so hilarious that i was practically laughing from the start till the end of the movie...er, laughing would actually be an understatement, i think i totally annoyed everyone in the theatre...but the lines were so funny... Gerard Butler is so good acting as an asshole....and Katherine Heigl is the perfect Ms Control Freak...and i initially thought the 'check-list' guy (don't know the actor's name) was actually gay...apparently he was not...but it's really enjoyable watching how Gerard Butler taught Katherine Heigl how to 'snag' her 'check-list' guy...and Mike Chadway (Gerard Butler's character) is so spot on about women... unfortunately, most of us don't look like Katherine Heigl...and none of us will ever meet a Mike Chadway who can help us win the heart of our 'check-list' guy (who'd most likely turn out to be gay) by not being our real selves i.e. the control-freak, OCD, over-whiney, over-complaining, over-sticky, over-ambitious bitch etc etc...plus, there'll never be enough Mike Chadways to go around falling for all of us anyway...and THAT is The Ugly Truth...
Sigh, i can so identify with Katherine Heigl's character, Abby...the control-freak nature...the check-list...the being so unapproachable...the comfortable and conventional dressing...and the cat...hahaha..ok, i don't belong to a cat (becoz i'm allergic to furs) but that's quite remediable...and i can just imagine myself ending up like the old cat lady who's generally harmless but is very weird and eccentric...so i was thinking, if someone as good-looking as Katherine Heigl's character is still single, no wonder there're so many of us single girls around...and our fault is really this...wanting to be loved for who we are by a man who fulfills our 'check-list'...not a very fair deal for men...being loved by a perfect man for being imperfect? and the ugly truth is, there is no perfect man...nor a perfect woman...
But then again, we always expect a happy ending...and Hollywood almost always never fails to give us one...at least in The Ugly Truth, the ending is believable...i love the part when they were stuck on the hot air balloon and Mike told Abby that he was in love with her and all she heard was everything else but that...yea, i did shed a tear or two...that's like a given...oh, and i've got another (imaginary) wedding photos scene in mind now....me and my groom...on a hot air balloon...hahaha...yup, i need a Mike Chadway to knock some Ugly Truths into my skewed hopeless romantic mind....
