WHOLESOME

I had an unexciting weekend. Thank gawd I survived. On Saturday, I met my two buds in Bedok North Ave 2 for late dinner. That hawker centre is so huge tat a godzilla can sleep headlong over it. Anyway that's the place where the famous bak chor mee is. We sat there for five hours till my bum got sore. And that was it. Went home to blink my eyes till I dozed off. *slap forehead*

BUT! I managed to catch a movie on Friday! Phew!

Movie:
Open Water

Story:
Based on true events, about a couple enjoying their short break in an island of Bahamas, found themselves stranded in open sea after their dive, thanks to a bunch of careless and imbecile diving caretakers. Dehydrated and hungry, they were drifted by the waves and soon big schools of black-tip sharks started to surround them, eyeing the two helpless city-dwellers as juicy bait...

Hmm, do you know that it was much more terrifying than it sound? I was squirming in my seat when jellyfish stung them mercilessly. My bum was almost touching the floor when they were attacked by sharks. My feelings went out to them with 100% conviction. Just imagine yourself being left alone in vast ocean without anything to call for help. Aimless, tired and clinging to the only hope that the diveboat will cruise back, you can only let yourself drift away by the waves to nowhere. Added to the bonus of constant sharks attack and dark stormy night, how long would you strive to survive? That was what the wife thought. At the rise of dawn Susan gently pushed her dead husband away. Knowing she will be the next target soon, she released her float vest and chose the only way to freedom.
Damn, that was really sad and pathetic! Yet if I was her I wouldn't hesitate to do it too.. wouldn't want to be eaten alive by jaws!
This film really gave me jitters. Dun think I will learn diving at this time. And I'm sure Open Water has given some divers something to rethink about. Especially those people in diving centre, PLEASE DO PROPER HEADCOUNT!!
