Friday was so weird.
Xinyuan and I thought that Vic was confirmpluschop going bookshopping and movie-ing with us yesterday, but I called her 15 minutes before we were supposed to meet and she said she wasn't going because she had something on. RAWRRRRRR.
Then I called Xinyuan (or the other way round) and realised that she was heading for Wheelock Place after telling me to meet her at Kinokuniya. -.- I thought Wheelock only has Borders in it?!
Saw Joanna AND Chenlaoshi at Kino lol. Apparently everyone from RGS goes to Kino whenever they want to buy books.
After paying for the books we walked to Wheelock Place where Joanna was headed to find more books, left her there and walked back to Shaw. Unfortunately, due to our prodigious lack of planning, neither of us realised that Angels and Demons only started at 4. We ended up watching Monsters vs Aliens -.-
-PLOT SPOILER ALERT-
So the story goes like this:
Susan, a young woman, is about to marry Derek, who she thinks is her one true love. It's actually pretty evident in the beginning that he cares more about his job than her, but love is blind and she goes to the altar with him anyway. But before the ceremony starts, she is hit by a meteorite and absorbs a substance called quantonium through her skin. As she and Derek are about to be married, she starts to grow taller and taller...until she breaks through the church roof and towers over everyone else.
She's sent to a prison for monsters, where she meets Bob, an indestructible blob of goo, Dr Cockroach, a mad scientist, Insectosaurus, a gigantic insect, and The Missing Link, an egoistic bodybuilding ape-fish hybrid.
To cut a long story short, they save the world from aliens together. Yay.

After the movie we chionged to National Library to meet the rest of our MPP groupmates. We spent about an hour trying to get a printout of our bill because nobody'd printed it out :/ Finally Charisse approached a guy for his ezlink card so we could pay for the usage of the computer terminal.
The discussion was pretty productive; I suppose we were lucky in that our expert-mentor fully agreed with Ms Lim and Mr Lee instead of the other expert-mentor. We also realised that far more than anyone else, we were the ones poking loopholes in our own bill. Which is a good thing, I suppose.
Argh my blogging touch (if any) is gone. Sigh.
