Chun-Li rocks!

// March 31st, 2009 // 3 Comments » // Friends, Love, Movies, Real Life

I went out to the city last night with the boyfriend. It was exhausting, but incredibly fun! We actually met up earlier that afternoon to sort of accompany his 19 year-old adorable sister (along with her boyfriend) to register for ITE’s April intake. After registering and buying uniforms and such, they went their own way to find a present at Junction 8 for a friend’s birthday. My boyfriend and me however, decided to travel to The Cathay to watch a movie!

His other sister, Abby works at the Cineplex (Cinema Complex) over there, so we had free tickets! I wanted so bad to see My Bloody Valentine 3D, but Abby had already printed out the tickets for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li before hand. I did not complain though, since they were free! :D Abby even sent us free popcorn and drinks to our seats!

Honestly, although I did not complain on having to watch Street Fighter, I had a feeling that I would probably not like the movie since I’m not really a huge fan of action movies. But Chun-Li definitely made me eat back my words! I have to admit that the movie is by far the best action movie I have ever seen my entire life. Seriously. Kristen Kreuk was phenomenal, and Edmund Chen? I was like, “Ooh, a local actor!” when I first saw him on the screen. And an incredible one at that!

I definitely recommend watching Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. I am still not a fan of action movies, so I understand if you are also not one, but you should watch this one. Because I did and I loved it!

Books!

So I received a $35 Popular Bookstore voucher as a Teacher’s Day gift from the kindergarten I’m working part-time at and have been thinking on using it to buy new books to read. I haven’t been able to just sit in a corner on a rainy day just to read. University has really been hectic.

I have been reading since I could read. I love books to death. I used to spend every single second of my free time just reading. I also remember asking my Mum when I was little to buy as many books as she possibly could every month. The $50 voucher that my Dad received for returning a lost laptop to its owner had also been used by me to splurge on none other than books! :D

Anyway, I was thinking that maybe I should buy and start reading the Twilight series. I loved the movie so much and I’m sure I will like the books as well. I have read mixed reviews though, about reading the books after watching the movie. It’s said that it will ruin your reading experience, but we’ll see how my experience will go. Heh. :D
