Yesterday and today just seems like one very very very looongg day together rather then 2 days. Maybe it cos I haven;t touched the bed in more then 36 hours. Let's just say I can;t beleive the speed at which everthing is going. I feel like I just stepped through a teleporter or something. Where the beginning of this looong day I was surgfin at the beach, and it ended off with me mourning just like that. Too abrupt. And reality just isn't sinking in. Wish my maid was at home now, at least I would feel more secure and supported. She's on holiday in Indonesia. Funny thing, she actually went home for a holiday. Ironic huh?=P
*btw, every muscle in my body is aching! Biceps, chest, ribs.
tis xmas, plz stay wit me..

Argh, has a nice long blog entry ranting the stupid chee somethingsomething guy and detailing some stuff but the sloww dialup in the hotel room destroyed it. Couldnt publish and therefore, it somehow got deleted =(
Anyway, start with the latest. Will go down in reverse chronogical order.
1) I;m rushing home on the earliest possible flight:
Took surfing lessons whole of today, in the middle shopping and roaming the gold coast myself. Then halfway through the morning, my dad called to say my grandma died. (read: all appointments next wk is probably going to be cancelled.) Like, just like tht. I don;t think i really visualised it enough when my dad said earlier this yr tht this could be her last birthday, and i din realli expect it. Quite a shocker. So now, its 10.29 pm, saturday, and i;m on the earliest avalable flight home (coincidentally, the midnight flight). Oringinal flight was 3pm tmr. Suddenly when i went back to the hotel at 4pm, my family was thrown into some sort of flurry. Everything was packed in an hour or 2, den we fjust went down to the airport without checking out(left tht to my dad's friend hu is travelling with us). Kinda exciting actually.
2) Celebrity sightings:
Then just now at the airport suddenly there was this big celebrity. It was a lady and a man and their being followed by reporters and photographers and everything. Since my mum has priviledge, we were using the business class check in coutner, and they were using the counter beside us, and WHEW, i've never been so upclose and personal with stars. Somehow or another, we ended up in this small and tight circle, meaning, her, the guy beside her, the videoman, the guy holding the mic, and her agent (who is reri reri reri handsome!! btw, aussie guys are getting to me, but i'll get to tht later)it was really one tight private circle, and since she;s british celebrity, she has no fans or anything chasing her. Then she walked passed me and brushed passed me, just like tht.
*btw, the media is overexagerrating, they not only take pics and interview the celebrity, they also want to interview the airport check in guy who served her, took pics of her boarding past, took pics of the DEPARTURE BOARD. I.E. the board showing all the flight timings and status, like..0_0
And now, here I am in the business class lounge, at a table somewhere behindher. That's ok. Then my mum went to make my sis ask her for her autograph, and they had a nice convo, like
Sis:Hi, i know you;re someone famous. Could I have your autograph
She: Oh? Do you know who I am?
Sis: no.
She: Then why do you want my autograpjh *laughs*
Then my mum comes in
Mum: oh, szhe;s soooo starsturk! its the closest she can get to a star!! e.t.c. (My mum made my sis get the autograph and now makes it sound like my sis is striken =P)
e.t.c
And she comes to our table and talks to us like an old friend. Seriously, PHEW. And there I was with this laptop on my knee researching info on her while she was talking away =P Then she leaves to the toilet and asks us to take care of her luaggage and hat, and comes back and tlaks more to us. WHEW. =))
3) First time surfing
Surfing was ok =) new experience =) Pity Sg has no waves, save for my grandmothers wave pool. Sg has no beach culture to begin with anyway, its totally empty most of the time. Anyway, the surfing instructer was cool =) Save for the fact that he has a nipple ring =S And he has a gf. How do I know the lady who was travelling beside him from the hotel to the beach is his gf? I saw them kiss in the sea =D Who, btw, is like bikini babe =P Anyway his damn nice! I;m lik,e the slowest learner, too kdamn long to get something womewhat close to standing on the surfboard, and he keeps going: good gal! =)
So anyway, my entire family and father's friends family went to the outskirts of gold coast while I;m having surfing lessons, leaving me 2 hours inbetween lessons to explore surfers paradise on my own. Whats good about it? Everyone there is roaming the streets in beach wear. YThe guys are topless and the girls can wear bra and a skirt, leaving me to feel completely at home wearing my swimsuit(onepiece, thnk you very much) and a pair of shorts (which are sandy and salty and wet). Sovenir shopping, fantastic. I finsihed all my shopping for everyone. (thnk you ppl, you cost me the trouble =P)
Goodbye to the land of flies, land of no-iced-lemon-tea(eh! what the hell! how do they survive with NO ICED TEA!), and land of terrible television.!!*waves cheerily* going off to board the plane
---------------------
And now I'm home. Its a terrible terrible flight. Overbooked, so its totally crammed. And if you think that is a good sign for Sg's tourism industry, 90% of the passengers are going to singapore only as a transit point. the other 10% are singaporeans returning home. Behind me sat this row of china people. One of them was snoring sooo loudly. terrible. Then one of their sons started crying non stop over and over again. >=(
Now to retype the post that was deleted Friday night:
Now for 24th Nov. FridayDinner at surfers paradise. Basically its an area in gold coast. Its Schoolies Week in Aussie now, i.e. 18 year olds have graduated from high schools all over Australia and their flocking to Gold Coast to celebrate, filling up all the apartmens and motels there, namely Surfers Paradise. So when the media and hotel concierge warn you about drunk teens raoming the streets of gold coast, the first impression i got was, its probably some sterreotype of teenagers. And then...let me detail what happened.
Of course boygirl walking hand in hand on the streets is ok
Teenagers walking together with beer cans in hand is not that bad
Drunk girls collapsing on their boyfriends is more or less acceptable
A whole mob of them on the streets suddenly breaking out into a cheer: OLE! OLEOLEOLEOLE!! joined by the teens on the balconies overlooking the stretets is moderately frightening, but its still fine.
But 2 stark naked boys running down the road...
Driving by Surfers paradise going for dinner, and there was ths hugeeee traffic jam...like 4 lanes of cars stalling. Try your best to imagine it.I was on the 2nd lane. Then suddenly, my father' friend's children behind started exclaiming, and i looked out of the window, 2 stark naked boys were jogging slowly down the road between the 2nd and 3rd lanes. On a dare or whatever, but REALLY. So as they jogged down to the front of the line all I can see if their back view. Then they turned around and jogged back up...
My mum was like, DONT SEE DON;'T SEE!
But I was too curious. =p At elast when they jogged back up they covered their private area with their hands. =S
Then there was this girl inthe car next to us. When we looked at them, she looked at us, beer bottle in hand, and started making signals with her hands and making flirtatious eye signals. Really.
2) Chee Soon Juan;s article in Aussie Papers.
terrible. All the anti-Singapore articles ae making us sound like some communist oppresed nation. Like, helloo. Chee Soon Juan is the SDP head, just for information's sake. He syas abt 92% of us live in fear. Hellooo!! Do you live in fear? I don't.
First of all, When in rome you do as the romans do. Its not as if we dun make it clear tht drug smugglers will get the death penelty. We do alright. And don't drag in other issues like how alcohol and nicotine also causes harm and how our local tiger beer causes as much harm to many people. alcohol is SOCIALLY ACCEPTED u donkeys. And if you want us to persecute nicotine smugglers, we'll probably be glad to if you all don't raise another big hoohah.
And I actually LIKE and respect my governemtn and their policies. Its governed by a family dynasty cos the people and the parliament support them. I like the fact that I can roam the streets at 2 am and be sure there's no teenagers high on drugs or alcohol lurking behind a corner, the fact that i can hold my wallet and handphone in my hand and still fall asleep on the bus knowing no one will steal it, the fact that i can trust my governemtn to have the people's interests at heart and the whole government is corruption free. and for the last time, i do not live in fear.
Perhaps if we have more matured people as opposition the people will start taking them more seriously.
**hey geri, i have a few articles from the aussie papers, thouh not the chee soon juan one. can lend u if u want =)
Ok, i blogged enough. More to blog about, but to heck with it. Just one thing:
Wednesday, 30th Nov:
CO, piano ensemble cip, og outng, 4c2 gathering,just a friendly note: ican;t make it for any of them. byeee!
tis xmas, plz stay wit me..

berHeyy!! Thanks for your greetings again!!
Cheryl: Thanks for remembering! and dun haf to bother about the prezzie =)
Ann: HEYY DEAR!! missing u!!
Geri: YEAH! and about what ur review of harry potter? i agree totally! its at least better then the last one! 3 stars is too little!
Anyway..pasting the post i did on ms word:
23rd Nov Wednesday
Its 11.45 pm now, Brisbane time. Blogging on Word cos internet here is really lousy. Connection, I mean. Its either dial-up with dad’s laptop, which charges exorbitant fees almost everywhere (but then again, everything here is exorbitant =S ), or using gprs with pda, which is just almost as bad. So there are now curvy red and green lines under all the words. My sis just kicked me out of using the com on the bed cos apparently it disturbs her. Ah, whatever. She’s irritable and picky again *shrugs*
First of all, thanks to everyone for ur msges and tags =) You all actually remembered! Huimin, Ofe, Wenqing, NIsa, Janaki, Nadiah (though I think you won’t be reading this), Zh, Shir =) Thanks for your msges!! Sory I can’t reply. Roaming fees will go sky-high =((
Just ended the Sydney selfdrive. I think I’ve fallen in love with the countryside =)) Before that though, first thing that hit me when I reached Sydney was the carpark =) It had the “Wilson” logo on it. And for those who don’t know, the “Wilson” logo is also prominent on many of the carpark tickets in Singapore. I.e. These carparks are operated by this “Wilson” company. I had totally no idea this “Wilson” carpark operator was international. Which got me thinking, imagine this: A potential young budding entrepruner who is out of job, walking down the streets munching on a sandwich. Then suddenly a brainwave strikes him. He looks up and down a carpark building, and promises himself: I’m going to make it rich. I aspire to be the CEO of a large multinational company that operates in important cities all over the world! In Asia, Australia!…operating carparks. I mean, who actually who actually starts up a company with the ambition of operating carparks???
Enough crap there. Sydney habour is magnificent =) After years of looking at picture after picture of the Sydney opera house, finally seeing it doesn’t seem very real. Like, I can’t believe that’s the real one. It’s the same as all the other models of it me and everyone else have been seeing. Think I understand now why S’pore has such high hopes of “culturizing” Singapore. Apparantly, Sydney was the same culture desert with nothing but economical value like Sg now…till the Sydney opera house was built. =/ There are stunning similarities between the Sydney habour and Clarke Quay. Seriously.
The countryside got my imagination running =) It can be like, kilometers and kilometers of nothing buy grass, and suddenly a residential house appears. Then nothingness again. Kilometers and kilometers of nothingness, and another house pops up. Then you wonder. Where do these people get their groceries? Their education? Their livelihood? No busstops, no nothing. It totally gives a new meaning to ulu. My house is ulu? Not anymore, after these houses.
Couple of livestyles I’ve been considering.
Maybe when I get really really rich I’ll buy one of those on the Sydney Habour. Those are beautiful, like terraces on a cliff facing the port. Apparantly Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman got one of those for 4.2 million. Maybe one day =)) Then I can alfresco dine on the balcony day after day, and watch the city get lighted up at night across the bay, with the opera house in the background.
Or I’lll make better use of my money and buy a wood and glass house on the beachfront. I.e. ON THE BEACH. Then every morning I’ll go jogging on the sand (which will be soft and fine)
More probably I won’t make so much money, so we’ll be a little more realistic. One of these days when I retire, or when I’m facing midlife crisis, I may get a house with a vineyard like those in Hunter Valley. Then I’ll really know the meaning of tranquility and serenity. I’ll just spend my life collecting grapes, and probably eating them before I can make them into wine. =)
Seriously though, I’m really considering moving into those small towns with nothing in them but quiet quiet suburbs. Very simple places, just houses, with a lot of land, 1 school, and a few shops. They are so quiet when you pass through them you wonder where are the people? And how do they live? Where do they work? I won’t mind a lifestyle like that, with a few neighbors as friends, grasslands or forests nearby e.t.c. I find myself obsessing more and more about their ways of lives. My dad said I can just check out the Australian high Commission for opportunities for exchange programmes. Then I’ll really find out how they live, how school is like e.t.c. =) At least I’ll come close to finding the lives of Laotians in December. Really, people’s lifestyles are more interesting then sights I think =)
Or perhaps, a house near the beach. On the more populated beaches, there are residential districts in the streets behind the beaches. Meaning their not exactly beachfront, and they don’t look too high class to me. They kinda remind me of chalets in Singapore. Children are running barefoot around =P Some houses have boats parked in their garages =P It won’t be high class and private like beach front houses, but neihgbourhood looks friendly enough =)
There are also houses near scenic lookouts. Like, high up in the mountains, there are some places which they reserve as scenic lookouts. Then near one, out of the blue, nestled nicely in the pine trees, is a house. Just a house, by it self. Also very lonely, but its beautiful. For one, its in the mountains. Right beside a lookout. So like, anytime you feel like it, go and watch the view. Imagine the sunrise and sunset!! Furthermore, the land was damn big and the garden damn nice =( My mum says I’ll only get a house like that if I want to be a hermit.
Then theres this town where the hotel we stayed in was actually someone’s house. Meaning they converted the top level to guestrooms and lived in the bottom level. That’s as close to an experience of a life living in a town as I’ll get. Wish I could stay longer and know more =/ The guy was so nice his probably one of those people I won’t forget, like those wonderful service people I met in Phuket last year. And that is good service. People whom you’ll never forget served you. (Austrialian schools’ uniforms are damn nice btw=) )
Oh!! My new ambition is to be a crocodile trainer. I think its damn cool!
Btw, alligators are so cute =) Apparantly, the difference between an alligator and a crocodile is that an alligator is not aggressive. The trainer kissed an alligator in the reptile park. That was ok. Her name was Rosie, and I want one too! Then he brought out the super aggressive crocodile (his named Jack =P) which can’t keep its mouth closed. Its in this perpetual “ready to strike” position with is mouth wide open baring its super sharp teeth. Then the trainer picks it up and does some maneuver, and kisses it too =) I wonder if he tried frenching it… (Sidenote: He described this venomous snake as “your national heritage” to the locals =P) Anyway when he folded up his sleeves you can see long scars all over =S OHH! And I saw a Tasmanian devil!!
I’m beginning to think all Australian wildlife is cute =P. There was this duck waddling around in the same pit the trainer was taking out all the snakes and crocodiles and what not. He was soo cute!! =) At someplace else there was this field with 5 or 6 wild kangaroos. Their cute too!! And lucky us, it was the season where the small baby kangaroos are coming out, so caught a few pictures of the mother kangaroos and the joeys heads in the pouch =) Not easy to take! Cause they are so scared of us and keep running away =(, or jumping away
Oh, anti-Singapore sentiments are running high in the newspapers here btw. For anyone who still doesn’t know, Singapore is beheading an Australian for trafficking drugs. Another Australian model who is also caught for trafficking drugs in Indonesia was let off with 90 days in jail and 15 Australian cents fine. My mum says from now on any Austrialian who asks us where we’re from we’ll say, Indonesia. We let your Michelle Leslie go =))
But seriously. Come to Singapore, get first-hand experience of our law and order, then rethink your words. Some insight columnist in one of the newspapers made us sound like some oppressed nation. One para stated that the citizens (us) are closed about government policies. Rationale for stating that? Cos we refuse to talk to taxi drivers about government policies. And their evidence? ONE interview with ONE taxi driver. HELLO. There are people who complain that taxi drivers talk too much and they are just not in the mood to talk. If you can feel as secure as you are in Austrilia as you can in Singapore, then come and talk ok. I actually support Singapore government policies.
Alrighttt. Its 1 am now, I’m sure I’ve bored you enough. I;m going to bed. Not looking forward to going home to face the whole lot of projects I’ve been missing out on =(( Sighh.

Going off for dinner now =) Going surfing tmr, after which is the whole gold coast to myself =))

First up,
Huimin's birthdaySo first ann bought her present, den we headed down to orchard swensons. Got her a firehouse icecream and told them to serve it without her knowing. =P Took her IC from her when she arrived and lied to her it'll give us a 20% off when actually the ic will let her haf a free firehouse. Then we lied to her again that we didn't get her a present. I mean, why bother to? And the only reason we would go out with her on her birthday is cos we are almost sure she'll treat us =)
So anyway, food came. Ice cream came. Present was given. Huimin: PRESENT! i bet u all just bought it b4 i came!
Ann/Sam (simultaneously): yeah/NOOO!

Sam is in a very bad mood. The whole of this week and next week is rushing to and fro from appointment to appointment and wasting large amounts of money on cab fares. Furthermore its going to be the time of the month soon. I'm sufferin from lack of sleep and I've eben up since 12mn last night. So to my sister and everyone out there: Stop yelling and complainign about me to me cos she's extreemly irritatble, foul, and frustrated. I;m in no mood whatsoever to deal with everyone else's moods.
Things to do:
SRP data report. Due tomorrow, haven't started, and suffering from lack of sleep
Practice piano. Lesson on Thurs. 3 new pieces and pieces which I've delayed playing for 3 weeks and delaying more would make my piano teacher think i;m an idiot
Holiday HW. I have no intention whatsoever of doing work in Aussie. Its going to be the last time I'm enjoying myself b4 I make my exit from civilisation and subsequently, the bloody As
Oral Presentation is OVER. Gruelling. Poor janaki was so unlucky. But ITS OVER.
On the brighter side, xmas spirit is going round. =)
Now Playing:
Ding Dong Merrily On High
Sleight Ride
Jingle Bells Rock
And there are dvds to watch
Beach Life to play
Seriously, who cares about work. its the HOLIDAYS.
And Huimin, If i fall asleep b4 12, HAPPY B'DAE =) You've turned 17! *evil laugh* I'm the only sweet 16 still ard *sings*

Just watched Under the Tuscan Sun. Its damn damn damn beautiful. Scenary I mean. I think I know where I want to retire already. =/ WIsh I appreciated it more when I was there. Time to dig out photoalbums from 2 years ago. damnnit. Countrysides are so beautiful. When Diane Lane walked into the villa and they did a sweeping scan of it, the first thing that came to my mind was, I will also buy it on impulse if I were her. And the italian language is beautiful too. Its like, a dotted quaver beat. They go looooong short. Like, mamma = maaaaaaa-mma. Its like their singing a song. Oh, and the italian guy in the show is damn good looking. Only thing, please, this is FICTION. In reality, Italian men are UGLY. Serious. When I went Italy I also haboured hopes of meeting handsome brunette men with cute accents and striking sharp features. ITS NOT TRUE. You'll never find a cute Italian man.
Anyway my comp has slowed down so much, I'm backing up all my videos on my ipods, and pictures in cds. Bulk of them are 4C2 gatherings, Mei's returns, some farewell ones, and some 2g1 ones =) Stumbled upon some taken on Korean trip =P Reminded of how the photographer that tagged along on our tour was so cute!! Then first I started taking secret photos of him, and i think he noticed sometimes. After that towards the end I got a little bolder and started asking him to take photos with me. And since we have a communicatio barrier, he though I wanted him to take photos of me =P Oh gosh, I'm quite sure I'm going to regret blogging this in the morning =D

Ok keting hanyou and all the terrible terrible people who asked me to update. I UPDATED AND COMPLETED THE LAST POST. Anyway I actually have 2 posts that's waxing lyrical about alias, only I can't seem to get the tone right without sounding overly crazy, and I don't want to waste your time anyway. Season 5 sucks!
Today was funny. The past week have been trying to do WR. From Monday to Wed, I've definitely clocked more then 20 hours in front of the comp. And all that I've managed to do is:
Name: Yap Huiwen Samantha
Class: 1S03H
Insights and Reflections
Task 2:
Title:
I'm SERIOUS. The net and dvds in the rom is sooo disruptive! So I rushed it out this morning at about 1, fell asleep, read fanfiction, watched more alias in the process, and finally finsihed it at 9.30 this morning. When I have to be at sch at 10.
Actually planned to take the bus out and cab down to school, but then met terrance at 173 busstop. First time in my life there's someone to go to school with all the way from 173 busstop...So t probably won't hurt taking bus all the way to school. Told him I had 20 mins to reach school. He told me to forget it and go home
Reached school about 25 mins late. Thnk GOD the back gate was open. Tried to sneak in through the back door, but ytyt saw me.
"HELLO SAMANTHA. LATE 4 TIMES NOT ENOUGH MUST BE LATE 5 TIMES ISIT"
Whoops.
Progree report read: "Samantha should learn to be more punctual."
Punctuality: 96/100.
I swear, if i don't curb this bad habit of mine, no university is going to accept me.
Oh. Lunch was good. I never ate so much xiao long baos at one go =) Dashed to Huimin's house to complete collation of SRP data. When I say its a conspiracy, I know what I'mtalking about. I rushed to complete collation, with more then a little help from Huimin (THNX!), den with 20 mins to get to NUS, I met with cabdriver from hell. He travlled at 90 km/h consistantly, even when the speed limit was 60, and only stopped once throughout the entire journey. Cabfare was like, 11.40, which is relatively low. The last time I travelled from yishun to home it was 14 bucks. And there was no nice scenery. Just alot of expressways and trees. This time I think i saw more landmarks then i ever did on a single journey. saw balestier, some ulu primary sch, snec, sgh, all the wway from serangoon down to nus. This guy rocks. I'm serious. I prefer such drivers.
And then, guess what. first, my mentor is late. balwin said I might as well have taken bus there. And then, I didn't really need to copmlete the collation by tht afternoon. >=(
On the rbight side, there's smiths to watch, and beachlife to play =)
And I'm still hooked on friends =)) At the end of the dvd they have this 10 mins show of no goods. Super funny. There was one take where david schwimmer was supposed to enter the scene where jenaniston and mattleblanc are standing.
Take 1:
David schwimmer knocks into the wall of the set as he enters
They all laugh
Take 2:
the 2 of them decides to hide. David S enters and carn find them. Super funny
Takes 3,4,5,
Jennifer A laughs before david s can complete saying his lines
Take 6:
The scene goes by properly without hitches. Everyone manages to keep a striaght face, david s enters properly...then...
Schwimmer: oh, and i, i...i can't remebre my lines
Aniston: *goes forward to strangle him* ARGH. yo usuck!! what happened to you? You used to be so good!!!
Tht was funny =)
tis xmas, plz stay wit me..

Hmm. Outing with my dad and i. And someone else unimportant. Liek my sis =P No, that was a joke. Really =)
Met a very cute p3 boy today. Went something like this. Went to NUSS guildhouse (Ok, something is very wrong with my internet explorer. Everytime I go to other blogs, windows installer will start automatically. if i can cel it begins again, if not it'll proceed until a step where it carn find the file it wants to install. Then suddenly internet explorer has an error and everything is gone. including all that i blogged >=( )
So anyway, theres this beeeg room with tv and several xbox consoles. Approached the only one that is available, whhic has some kind of funny cd called stranger or soemthing. At this point, cutep3 boy enters:
Me: Sorry, was this your game? Do you want to play it?
Him: *shaeks head*
Me: *begins new game*
Him: Oh, you're going through the tutorial right now. Its the most fun
Me: really?
Him: Yeah, i played till last level already.
And he said all these without a hint of arrogance. Just some quiet innocence. Gawddd.
-Game starts-
He starts summerizes all the instructions for me so i can just skip all the instructions. Adn so we start with the basic of every game: How to jump
Him: Press A to jump, A twice to double jump
Me: Okaeee. *Fox on the screen controlled by me runs forward. I press A. Fox turns to the left rather then jumps. I backward the fox, made it walk to the edge of the step, and press A again. Fox turns to the right. After much difficulty, fox jumps one step* PHEW.
*time for next step*
Him: Ok, this is double jump.
Me:*walks fox to the edge. presses A twice. Fox jumps and lands back at same spot*
Him: Make the fox go backwards and run towards it, then jump
Me:*fox runs towards it. i press A twice. fox runs to the left and falls down a step* ARGHHHHH
Him: I'll do this for you
-So he goes, and as he goes he explains the game to me. Oh god. He plays with all the agility and skill of a teenager. And i Dun mean me>=( -
So I inquire
Me: You have an xbox at home?
Him: Nope.
Me: You play this game on PC then?
Him: No
Me: Then how do you obtain up to lsat level?
Him:I come here every weekend to play
-And so I carry on watching in awe-
Him: (very suddenly) Hey! Why am I playing? You should be the one playing!
And henceforth, its like, me play for 2 mins, then he decides I'm hopeless, takes over until he feels I'm ready, but another 2 mins later he decides I'm hopeless and takes over again, and the cycle goes round and round.
This cute younger boy came in and called me gorgor, so I asked the age of his brother
Him: 22 years old.
Me: WHAT?! What about this boy here?
Him: oh, his my cousin. =))
This boy is cute =)
WEnt to watch Legend of Zorro after that. Tis more funny then serious, but no doubt enjoyable
1) Catherine Zeta-Jones is HOT. She's got nice black hair, pretty features, and good figure =))
2) Antonio Banderas has a LOVELY ACCENT. Really. His spanish accent is so beautiful! I still love the cat he voiced in Shrek 2
3) Their swordplay is really dazzling =)
One problem though, the guy beside me laughs the most and he has horrible bad breathe >=(
