Pretty good long weekend thus far. Saturday night was a night out with Duy, Pete and Bart. Headed to Cabana, some lounge cocktail bar place where Pete's friend was having a birthday. It was pretty good and long islands were cheap for a little while. After that we headed to Ding Dong, ran into Lashi, drank some more, danced a little, ordered a mystery shot, pretty sure it was chartreuse and vodka, instantly regretted it and then seconds later felt a lot better about it. So that was good but eventually we left, stood around outside while certain members of our party smoked cigarettes. Then a bloke from New Orleans came up to us, gathered the surrounding people into a circle and told a rather lewd joke, the punchline of which, in retrospect, I don't really get. It didn't stop me from laughing wholeheartedly at the time however. Following all that, we went to China Bar for nasi lemak. Somehow in the last 6 months, the late night kebab has been replaced by China Bar. This is not necessarily a good thing.

Yesterday I went to the cinema with Michelle to watch the double feature of 'Toy Story' and 'Toy Story 2' in 3D. It was really good and I recommend it. Although I'd seen both films when they came out originally, I hadn't seen them since then so basically I'd forgotten a lot of the plot, especially the first 'Toy Story'. That film has some really dark elements actually, such as Woody having vaguely murderous thoughts about Buzz. I mean, at one point Woody tries to run over Buzz with a remote control car. There's also that kid who exhibits all the warning signs for a future serial killer who has created all of those bizarre circus freak toys. Scary stuff.

As for the 3D, it's good and not gimmicky, it just makes everything look a lot crisper. The animation of 'Toy Story 2' is a little more sophisticated when compared to the first film, but then you'd expect that. Also, there's an intermission between the two films where for ten minutes you get a bunch of trivia and animations, almost like some special features from the DVD or something. It's quite good and keeps you entertained if you decide to stay in the cinema rather than leave to get, I dunno, toast or something.
