Went to One Utama today for our Year 9 Terra Farewell, organised by our very own Joanne Lim and Momoko Uchimura - you have my thanks!
Arrived there at 1100, went to the rendezvous point (Topshop/Topman, First Floor, Highstreet) and no one was there - or so it seemed. We, Ellya and I, sat down on the bench right in front of the combined two shops and why no one was here, the e-mail clearly stated "be there by 11.00am." Then we looked outside on the bench in front of the neighbouring shop. It was Momoko and Kanako, The Uchimuras!
Ellya kept rambling about getting Starbucks, so she did. A Caramel Cream Frappuccino, which she clearly didn't intend on sharing. Waited for a bit and slowly everyone started popping up. Soon the entire gang, about less than half the class (most couldn't make it), was here. So in total we have:
- Mr. Oo (Business Studies Teacher)
- Ms. Ong (Class Teacher and English Teacher)
- Ms. Diana (Combined Science Teacher)
- Joanne
- Momoko
- Kanako
- Yeung Fwu
- Vikram
- Ellya
- Bernard Keo
- Lydia
- Joshua Lee
- Bernard Sam
- Julie Chan (though she wasn't there for more than half the time)
* Plus a few more unexpected people (more on that later). ;)
Josh and I returned to Starbucks for some of our own drinks. Though I spilt mine. Gah.
We walked half-way round OU looking for a place to eat. I nominated T.G.I.F., as did Julie, but got overruled. Julie changed at the last minute. Hrmph. So we ate at Nando's. After placing our order, I followed Joanne and Momoko to go buy our tickets. I think we confused the guy. The thirteen tickets totaled up to RM143. Golly Gee.
Went back to Nando's, got everyone to cough up RM11 and awaited our orders. I think we all confused the people here too. Either that or they are really unexperienced. They kept coming with the wrong orders and it seemed as though they were giving us extra dishes. We immediately said we had to check the bill afterward. We talked a lot, ate a lot. And when the bill came, utter chaos - it was incredibly funny. Vikram was yelling at the thing and kept like pressing the calculator. Yeung Fwu was insisted to sum up the thing but said this was far more amusing. In the end we just chucked money/spare change (that was me. hee) and hoped it would total up. and it did. Vikram held all that money in a ball, crushed it in that book thing and gave it to the waitress. Ms. Ong gave the idea of us to just run, to you know liven up the farewell. We would ultimately pay of course. We just wanted to scare the crap outta the people. :)
Sadly, we didn't do it.
The movie was to start at 1430 so there was alot of time to burn. We opted for the bowling alley up top, right beside the cinema. This is where the fun begins. ;)
Then we watched The Dark Knight. I went to the bathroom halfway. Darn large-sized drinks. It is a spectacular movie. Very slick. Though abit too long, I might add. At times bombastic, the music ultimately captures the nihilistic tension of the film with panache. I have to say Christopher Nolan's sequel surpasses the original with an intense, disturbing masterpiece. Watch it.
Also, Heath Ledger did an amazing job reenacting the Joker. May he rest in peace. Though was it just me or was Rachel Dawes in this movie pretty old and ugly? :/
* Oh and by the way, the Joker looks pretty hawt as a lady. HAH. Watch, you'll understand. ;D
Then after exiting the hall, sort of backstage, was where our farewells (and the whole point of this outing was for) took place. Everyone had to leave already and well. I had to say goodbye to the people I used to hang out with in school. Bernard Keo, Joanne Lim & Mr. Oo, among others. It is quite a sad thing to see your friends go, probably never to see them again.
But there's really no need to say goodbye.
I will see them again, I'm sure of it.
So we walked out of the cinema, and saw Leon (who had already finished his movie Hancock). He accompanied Ellya and I to the drop-off and pick-up point. Apparently he had sat next to this "really hot girl" and he had "gotten to know her". Interesting.
At the point, to Ellya and my surprise, we saw Jasmine Chan of KDU. Haven't seen her for ages. We and Jasmine go way back. Way back.
Long story, short: It was one helluva day. THE END. :D
You have stolen my heart. That song is now stuck in my head. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though.
