Twas an eventful weekend which started with a bang on thursday as moi kakis got down to a serious shoot-em-up in cartel...

Not what it sounds like though.. Just us having fun playing car wars at cafe cartel where we had gathered to celebrate shun's big day (which he constantly reminded me was only 3 days later). Twas a great night out and we would've played all night, but alas the responsibilities of being the age we are now caught up with us so twas lights out after midnight. All thanks to Mr Schoolbus for the night, PJ.

Fri night was a night out with the gf to watch Hollywoodland which turned out rather disappointingly. Headed back to look forward to a long night's rest... However the forces conspired against me as my phone went flat, I missed the last 174 home, couldn't get a cab cos they were all 'dired/on call' and couldn't call a cab cos no phone, finally got on a 7 that dropped me out on holland road where I started on the walk home and guess what happens... the rain decides it shd start drizzling again. Get on farrer just in time to miss the last 165 by seconds and so I continued the walk back. Once in my cushy bed things were good.. until I was awakened upteenth times by my mum comin into my room, my grandma calling and my aforementoined mum attempting to check a location on my laptop (not very discreetly I might add). *sic*

Anyways sat out was nice & relaxed. Watched Fur which (I'm ashamed to say she picked and I had NO idea about till mum picked it)was quite a brilliant tale of the imaginary life of Diane Arbus who was a famour photographer of people on the fringes of society. So you get a sort of 'Big Fish/Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events' story which was told in a surprisingly poignant and moving way. It appealed to me on so many levels and I say kudos to moi mum. She's graduated to film connoissuer par excellence... Though she detracted from this new esteem I held her in by complaining she didnt like it cos it wasn't a truly happy ending.

BAH.

Anyways sunday was gym time with my new trainer who'll put me on an extreme protein diet.. So for those of you about to meet me this fortnight, I'm on nothin but high protein & low carbs... So pardon the healthy streak. It's day 3 now (only!) but I'm still holding out. I mean if not now, when can I get those abs rite?.. Even if I dun get it at least I tried. :)

The weekend ended off with a minor pig-out of carbs & bad food: kfc, pasta bolognaise (faz-style) and ice-cream. All consumed while watching oscar-acclaimed Babel with Gyn. It's really low on dialogue and u need more than a decent dose of patience to bear with it. But if you do, you'll see how the four threads tie together. Abit sad how each storyline's protagonists end up though: the guilt-struck morrocan boy, the deported mexican nanny, the lonely & depressed jap girl.. Only Pitt's crisis-wrecked husband character gets out happy.. well sort of. Avoid watching this late. You've been warned.
