Small Small World

Today I went to watch Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift with JC friends. Didn't want to go actually, in fact I replied in SMS that I wasn't interested to watch the show. Afterall, what kind of plot can there be? Win a race and get the loser's girl? Crap. But I did go eventually, just so to spend some time with those old friends of mine, nevermind the lousy movie. I remember Mr Lim's talk on time management. When he said he would watch a lousy movie because he had no other time to do so on another occasion with his friend or relatives, I can so identify with him. I would give the movie, like, half a star, for their effort (which is not very much) It's like Initial D, and though I have never watched the first two parts of Fast and Furious, I can assume it is the same lah. Cars turning and drifting all the way through the movie, only in different settings. Drift in the city. Drift in a carpark. Drift in the mountains. Movie ends. Yawnz. The repetition is so obvious that I asked one of them halfway through, 'Got Jay Chou in this movie?', to which the reply goes, 'Got lah. We watching Initial D what.' Point taken.

Met quite a few people today. Met Jesslin before the show. She said hi. I waved back. Didn't know what to say, and she looked like she's in a hurry. Haven't changed much since secondary school days. Then met Elin after the show. I think she has changed a lot since I know her in secondary school. Met Daryl, who's going for a movie. Funny he came all the way to Tampines, think he stayed in Bishan or something. Then met Erina, a primary school friend, whom I used to sit beside. She was talking to Jianyong at first, then suddenly turned to me and exclaimed, 'Derrick!' I looked at her for a few seconds. I knew I know her, and was trying to recall her name. Carina? Macarena? Ok. Erina. She's going to NUS too. Funny how she knew Jianyong who knew me and I knew her and also Thiam Aik whom we knew, knew the friend next to her. It's a very small world.
