We went to Buckaroo (Andrews Ave) for dinner. We had their famous buffalo wings and fish & chips. Dar-Dar ordered a tiramisu for my birthday cake. The boss came sing my birthday song with Dar-Dar for me. Gave me a little cactus figurine & a voucher for our next visit as Birthday gift.
After dinner, we went for the movie, Cha Wu. It almost became the 2nd movie, which I walked out of! In fact, a couple did walk out 1/2 way through the show. The story only begins to make sense towards the last quarter. I can appreciate that the director trying to create some twist in the show, but this one..... I really think they are trying too hard! :( Too bad Ed fell asleep towards the end, so I don't think he got the show at all! Think it's trying to be artistic & abstract, yet also trying to comedic, trying to be phyilosophical, & also trying to create a mystery crime, & trying to play around with different cinemagraphy (kinda like what they did with polaroids & dialogues though), playing around with jumbled time frame.... U see what I mean now??? It just lacks focus at the 1st 3/4! I mean, if u play around these novel ideas for the 1st quarter, well, maybe audience still got the attention span to appreciate what u are doing. But a good whole 3/4?!?! I think it's overdone!

So did we enjoy the show? Let's just say "Do NOT go after a long day at work!" Ed definitely walked out of the cinema pissed. I don't hate the show since I held on till the end, so the last quarter kinda managed to make up a little, at least I know how the story unfolds. If we've watched this show at home, I doubt we'd be able to last through...
Had a disagreement when we got home. The problem with me sometimes is that I hate confrontation to the extreme, as in when I'm unhappy about certain things, I tend to just keep quiet. Yes, it's not worsening the situation, but it's definitely not helping too. I know this is bad, but I just don't know how to resolve this. Nevertheless, I'm grateful to Dar-Dar for always being to tolerant & accomodating. So, this was my birthday, how I screwed it all up myself...
