Becky's shirt, Oh My God has the symbol of Illuminati!
It has been a tired day-out, with the most enjoyable episode today being the movie "Angels and Demons" at Vivo. It was released last month, yet only recently we could have time to watch it. Just the movie reviews published online were enough to whet my appetite. Adapted from Dan Brown's novel, "Angels and Demons" is yet another majestic work on mystery and religion, recalling the ancient time when different religious clans fought and sought retribution. This movie is not that simple, though.
Setting in the modern era, the beginning was spectacular with the formation of antimatter and the murder of Sylvano, Vetra's colleague who worked for Collider. The underground secret society Illuminati threatened to be "alive" and "in action" to avenge the past brutal actions of Catholic Church in Vatican. A video and a graphical sign of Illuminati were sent by the kidnapper, declaring the imminent deaths of the four candidates (Red Cardinals), who were supposed to succeed the late Pope. Dr. Langdon, the renowned symbolist was summoned to solve the puzzle and save the city. A breathtaking pursue mingled with faith, betrayal, hatred, suspicion and death began, with the Camerlengo and Commander Ritcher of Swiss Guard "assisted" them.
Since I only read the synopsis of the film before, which mercifully concealed the exact ending of the story, I was quite amazed at the final twist featuring the "great hero"----the presumably bright, virtuous and faithful Carmerlengo. The double-climax worked, but with a little fault since it did not reveal more about the motive of "the Demon".
With quite mixed feelings after the movie, we went dining in Vivo. Our boarding assistant, three Thai girls and two of us went to eat Sushi Tei; the rest of just had some noddles and rice, since we were not actually very hungry. After eating, Lisa and Candy went to Mini Toons to buy sweets. I was so dramatic in the shop, taking the orange flavoured, strawberry flavoured, raspberry flavoured, teeth-gum-shaped, cola-bottle-shaped and kiss-shaped candies and some mashmallows in a bag, then suddenly fell for the delicate phone accessories and decided not to buy those fattening "teeth gums", "cola bottles" and "kisses". What a job I had to do to put back all those candies in the boxes! Thankfully I got my four-leaved clover and the zodiac strap:D
We took No.188 home. I was with Nana and Becky in the end while the rest took the MRT. Becky was very charismatic, she made a superb racontour by telling us the synopsis of "Bella and Edward" series from "Twilight" to "Breaking Down"----Nana and I were completely entranced:P Even now I was amazed that anyone actually paid attention to the road signs that we did not over-sit for our stop.
A great outing today, but I cannot always be pampered like this, so I wish for some harshness in the next few weeks:P
