Wow… i think i had the most enjoyable weekend for a while. For some reason I feel really happy and mellow.
Sat – went to Ikea with Mum and Sister…. it was time for my sister to get a new desk for her room… there alot of discussion with my mum when we go ikea cos she tends to pick really old fashioned stuff where i want modern stuff…
We are still debating if we should have carpet in the front room or go for laminate flooring… i personally want laminate but she wants carpets so i think she is gonna win that one.
Anyway going ikea to shop takes ages… but managed to come out with a few items… what a gentleman i am! i made my sister push the trolley to the car… being my sister… she loves stupid stuff like that!
After i dropped them home, I then rushed out to have dinner with Thach… went to eat at Frankies and Benny’s down Kingston at the Redunda. It was really nice… I had Mussels for starters which were slightly overcooked but did taste nice…. for maincourse i had spagetti with meat balls… it was really hard to take a pictures cos the other table was looking at us lol….
Over spent on my budget slightly my meal came up to £15…
On Sunday went to Central to have a late lunch with a friend… decided to go to busaba, it was the first time sitting outside and eating… i don’t think this concept can really work in london… just feel polluted… very different compared to eating out doors in paris. but saying that it was quite nice to eat outside for a change…
I had the usual Sen Chan Patthai, myself, Son and Minh used to go busaba all the time when were at uni…. they used to eat it so quick didn’t know how they did it cos the portions are quite large.
Afterwards.. in line with my budgeting instead of going to the cinema and spending loads of money I decided to go to Fopps couldn’t decide on the which hollywood movie to watch so i decided to go for world cinema.
I decided to buy Banlieue 13 (2004) (District 13)
for £8 … bargin…
Anyway so what is District 13…. it’s a french movie made in 2004 which the critics were raving about but never got the chance to see it.
District 13 is one of the best action movies i have seen for a while. In Brief this movie is like ong bak meets HK action movie, meets parkour, meets paris coucil estate.
it has Martial arts (which was very entertaining), Parkour (freerunning) and on top that a decent storyline.
To be honest i was surprised the french can produce a movie like this becuase the french are not really know for HK style action movies…
Anyway if you are into world cinema this is a must watch…. oh and the english dubbed is really bad…
Spoke to glenys online tonight… i don’t actually know what enlgish city she is in these days so given up asking but it was nice to chat to her cos haven’t spoken for ages… so might meet up soon…
Anyway… Enjoy your week…. On Wed i will be going to a Preview of Fast Food nation so i’ll review that on Wed…
