Meepok Man and some

funny, spent friday night at the Shangri La watching the L-Word. someone said that watching this series is like watching a lesbian version of Desperate Housewives. (i wouldn't know since i have never ever watched a single complete episode of DH.)

and then i went to see Meepok Man last night at the Singapore History Museum. bloody hell, M-18 film and the girl at the door who is clearly younger than me wanted to check my ID?! nabeh! trying to be fucking funny or what?! so me i thought i'd give her the appropriate reaction, and i laughed in her face and said graciously that i was flattered.

what i don't get about the film is why (sorry - don't mean this to be any sort of spoiler, and i guess it is not because the film is not actually showing at the moment.) the meepok man did not send bunny to the doctor's after she got drunk and hit by a car but took her to his house instead.

is this just bad story bad plot because the rest of the film could not have happened without this instance of bad decision making? and then dialing 999 when he got to his house and not getting a response (he expected?) and then disconnecting the phone? it all seemed very strange to me.

so our meepok man laments that everyone in the film calls him an idiot. they laugh at him for being apparently not so bright. well, can't really blame them if what he does is take a girl home after she gets bloody hit by a car!!! this, really, is my main complain of the film. unless he genuinely is ignorant of what to do in a car accident situation, which is supposed to emphasise how clueless/helpless the "under-achievers" in our society are. but still, i don't get it, and maybe, i can't accept it. surely our education system can't be failing to this extent?

anyway, i went to meet Terz after the film and we had a couple of drinks and nice chat. and after he left, i got invited to go to zouk (phuture actually) by the Lomo lady in a fucking nice JPG dress (me got dress envy) from Vienna, who was invited by the winner of this Lomo competition. this other girl was also going, and we had a quick chat about Meepok Man which she also saw. funny, she was all excited that our meepok man was going to be at zouk.

i got to zouk, and all the kids with their juvenile behaviour/symptoms made me feel old, and so, i made a quick exit, got home and was in bed by 1am. this surely must be a sign of getting old. and the people at zouk did not check my ID.
