Burger Time
En route to the European Union Film Fest (Round Two!) tonight, we blundered into the guiness-book record thingummy.
The host for the event was droll, dry, caustic, and British - meaning the audience didn't have a fucking clue what he was talking about when he took the mick out of the contestants, who were avidly shoving burgers into their mouths.
After the little sage he interviewed a contestant and asked him what he thought about his lead cheerer-dude.
"I think he was very good, very supportive one."
"o-kay. And I see your friend has an S on his shirt! What does it stand for?"
"S ah. Ahh... Superman lor."
"uh. huh. Ooo...kay. And what about the AA after the S?"
"AA? It means AA lah."
"Okay there you have it folks, tonight's been an AA event!"
... groan. And you wonder why Singaporean women are disillusioned with Singaporean men.
Shortly after, we caught the First Movie of the night, This Very Moment.
Which, in a nutshell, is best described as :
Gag. Spit. Gag. Vomit. The director deserves to be shot! (well i thought so anyhow)
After that we caught Les Fil (The Son) which was much better and redeemed the evening for me.
Yeah, my day in a nutshell. Oh, that and the slightly flat pint of oktoberfest bier I had, and the mass before that, and the church service with mom even before that. (advance warning - waking me up at 7 am...)
