today (saturday)'s entry is all about the bests. in fact, i think this is prolly one of the best saturdays i've had in a while.
the company:
soph (left), yours truly (right) & teo xu (bottom left)
before i start on today's best moments, let me just say that i think the air in toys'r'us has something in it. we do so many silly things when we're there, and sometimes we don't even know it until someone documents it. like today. (:others not caught on camera: ed, jem and derrick.
i caught 300 today. it's absolutely brilliant. the best "old war" film i've ever seen. beats gladiator hands down. someone has to explain to me why is it all the spartan young boys are all so gorgeous. they are sexy, and beautiful and manly, and they don't even have facial hair yet!
best reaction i've heard to 300:
soph says: "that's it, i'm giving up on the navy boy. i want a spartan."
teoxu says: "go greece!"
soph says: "yes, that's it! get me on that plane baby!"
best moment in 300:
when the men line up, ripped and ready to fight, and the music playing is from WWE (read: wrestling)
sophia wins for doing the most random act today.
we went to toys'r'us at vivocity, and there's this wall of toy dispensers (the insert a coin, turn the knob, out pops a toy - kinda dispenser). while walking past the wall of dispensers, sophia flies to one particular dispenser and yells,
"oh look, they have princess watches! i want one!"
teoxu and i look at each other, laughing in disbelief.
"really?" i ask as soph rummages through her wallet.
"do i have coins? oh yes i do! and just enough." without any further thought, soph slots in 2 $1 coins and turns the knob.
"where's the thingy?" she asks.
i push my hand through the metal door. "here."
"oh yay! wait, i got the orange one. eee." if you know soph, you can imagine how she says it. if you don't, just an idea; it's really fast. (:
"does it work?" i ask.
"i'll go home and set it."
after setting the time (09:31pm) on soph's orange princess watch for her, she actually wore it! how cool's that? (damn. i wished i took a picture of it to show you.)
later...
"soph, what's the time?" (actually, 10pm)
"ehhh. my watch still says 9.31!"
later...
"soph, what's the time?" (actually, 10.25pm)
"oh it moved, it's now 9.37!"
later...
"soph, what's the time?" (actually 11pm)
"i think it's 11, because my watch says it 10.30. i have decided that it is half an hour slow."
"you're right!"
best chit-chat of the night goes to teo xu. hands down too.
teoxu: "have you seen the trannies (read: transvestites) with umbrellas in changi village?"
val: "yeah, i've seen them around. but not with umbrellas."
soph: "why were they carrying umbrellas?"
teoxu: "maybe because it was raining." i'm still not sure if that was a question or a statement.
soph and val: "HAHAHAA. well that WOULD make sense."
val: "soph, i think you may be contagious."
soph: "no no no, he came up with that all by himself."
val: "teoxu, if i remember this. i'm going to put this up on my blog."
teoxu: "oh yes, i did say that. by teoxu."
oh yeahh. hands down. (: i'm sure you wished you were there.
