watched da vinci code with keyou today and let's just say that it wasn't that good. i much preferred the book actually. at least, the book allowed for moments of suspense and riddles and puzzles for you to figure out. the movie didn't provide much instances at all. and it was very touch-and-go for every scene. you don't really get into the movie, you know? not like some great and wonderful movies where you really really feel for the characters, the plot, it becomes a part of you so much so that you forget that you're the audience. this one... i was very much seeing it like an outsider. sad, considering you have a big name like tom hanks. but i'd agree with yalan, paul bettany was good as silas! haha~ although the self-mortification scenes could be much much better (or worse, depending on how you view it) and i was utterly disappointed with that big scene where robert and fauche are examining sauniere's (sp) body. it was supposed to be grotesque. it was supposed to make you chilled-to-the-bone. it didn't. sad.

on a brighter note, i'm going to watch xmen3 with lay ping! woot! i can't wait! although i found out that there's very little of rogue in this installment. sigh. i want more rogue! it's such a waste 'cos there's so much room for her character development, following the first xmen movie, but sigh. not to mention she was (is) my favourite xmen character. oh wells.

oh, and me being the slow coach that i am, caught the american idol results show at 11.30pm (actually 12am, missed the first half hour) on star world after kendo training last night. and oh-my-goodness taylor won! woot! haha~ i love taylor!!! i know loads of people that dont, but i dont care, i love taylor!!! i'm so glad he won!!! i didn't expect him to go so far, but he did. and he was the only one who was never ever (to my knowledge) in the bottom three! and then, he actually won!!! oh my goodness!!! yay! haha~

other than that, american idol was nice. they had mary j. blige singing one, which i love! and then toni braxton, clay aiken, carrie underwood, PRINCE.... omg. prince was so cool. haha~ ok. i shall stop gushing now.

4/1bbq tmr. woot! happy happy!
