The Day the Earth Stood Still

11 December 2008

Enjoyed night cycling to East Coast and Geylang with Hock Rong the night before.

In the evening, attended the first meeting conducted by Jialing. I had asked her to head the first free movie screening session in Eunos and promised my support for her. Subsequently, free movie screening would be held once every two months.

Jialing, Rahayu, Brenda, Hock Rong, Hussien, Chee Lee and I had our dinner at Century Square's foodcourt. We then adjourned to Coffee Bean for the meeting. We decided to have it held in conjunction with Valentine's Day celebration on its eve.

After the meeting, some of us decided to catch a movie. I was suprised that there was no show available in Tampines from as early as 11pm. So we headed blindly to Downtown East to see if we can catch a show. And we did.

Yes. 11.12.08 is The Day the Earth Stood Still! Keanu Reeves eludes his charm once again in this Sci-fi movie. In it, Keanu Reeves casts as Kiattu, an alien in a human form, who is sent to save Earth by destroying the Human race. Spheres (similar to Noah's Ark) rose from everywhere else to transport other living forms away from Earth. Kiattu later saw the other face of humans and decided not to wipe them out.

"People don't die, they just transform"

To me, the movie lacked a solid storyline. It ended unexpectedly without a good conclusion. The whole movie is made good with the presence of Keanu Reeves.

After the movie. we then went to Mac for our much deserved... Mega McSpicy!
