Busy day..

Well, i have a busy shedule today(16/7)..
Need to get tix for Fantastic 4..
Then rush down to National; Council of Social Service--NCSS
for a Volunteer-A-Day (VAD) programme..
Then rush back for movie n dinner..

Somehow the plan shifted..
n twisted..
n ended up quite not like as sheduled..
but i end up doing alot more stuff..haha..

So, only 2 can make it for the Fantastic 4 movie..
plus my othe friend, Priscilla had watched it twice already..
So they choose another movie instead..
the island at 9pm at marina square GV...
Seems funny as it may be..
It turns out to be an error in the reading of the times..
The Island isn't on big screens until wed of the forth-coming week..
So we had to choose another movie..
And i decided on Red Candy..dun be fooled by the title..It's no simple funny story..
It'a actually a horror movie..a sequel to -One Missed Call-

So coming back to the actual sequence of the events..
I brought two tix for Fantastic 4..
Then i rush down to NCSS for the briefing..
Then i rush back to orchard to get present..
Then i went to have dinner with Patrick, Priscilla and Wei Shan..
Then we went to Arcade for some games..
Then shop around the closed mall..to the rooftop garden..
Then head to Carrefour to shop..
Then went to cinema (Eng Wah @ Suntech) to buy popcorns n nachos n drinks b4 going into the cinema for movie--Red Candy..

NCSS briefing:
It was a rather short but very informative one..
I learnt how to wheel someone up, down a slope..
and also up n down a single step..
how to keep n open the portable wheelchair..
but all these are only in theory..so hopefully..
I can still do it in reality..

To get presents:
Well, it's to get a present for one special gal in our care group..
So i know i dun really have a good taste..
But i still want to participate in present selection..Haha..
So together with Adeline Yap and Kah Chian and with two other guys, Mervin and Hui Jie..We went in search of present..LoL..
Maybe we not so familiar lah..so he seldom talk..
Finally brought a present for the gal lo..Can go eat dinner lo..haha..

At the dinner:
Patrick was sharing a bowl of noodles with Priscilla!!
Because Priscilla is quite full..hmmm..okay..
Ate like sweet and sour fish with rice..
Just can't avoid the temptation of a fried fish..
Then shortly after, Wei San, Priscilla friend, arrives..
She's a libra..and Patrick suggested that libra is attractive n interesting b4 she arrives..
Well, she may not be very pretty than Priscilla..But she's still ok..
She seems a bit quiet..but we all do when we are surrounded by unfamilar faces..
I can tell that she is capable of great stuff..Working as a customer service personel kind of job should be quite friendly..Interesting she really is..haha..she actually agree with my view..LoL..shan't tell wad my view is here..haha..

At the game arcade:
We must have spent like about $13 in total or slightly more..
Playing games that last about a few minutes each..
Well, we played the challenger, puzzle fighter, keyboard rock music, car racing, and drumming..
Was quite fun..

Shop around to rooftop garden:
We reached there at about 10pm..
Still wasn't closed..
Had a very interesting chat..
Really nice to chat there..
A nice place to -pa tou-..
know a bit about Priscilla past..
and answer her long want-to-know question..

Carrefour shopping:
actually, we shop here cos, it closes at around 11pm..and our tix time is about 11.15pm..
ya, so we got nothing to do then shop here one..haha..
Browse at music, DVDs and VCDs..
Saw the New harry potter book..The half-blood prince..
first chapter got the title, the new minister or something..
haha..lost my interest in reading harry potter books..
prefer the visual effects..VCD, DVD or movie better..
at about 11.10pm..we walk up to cinema..

Red Candy, the movie:
brought nachos n popcorn combos..
too huge to finish at the end of the movie..
Well, it was actually a sequel to -One Missed Call-
Priscilla say One Missed Call is better than this..
It is more horrifying..
Ok..then fortunately i watched this n not the one missed call..
Well, the story is about, yup, a missed call..
a strange sounding ringtone..can't quite remember the tone..
but it was unique..really unique..n hair-raising tone..
the caller is none other than the owner of the handphone..
whoever receives the call..will die as predicted..eg: 3days later at 12.15am..
so the story goes that a father picks up the call for her daughter..n heard her scream..
then shortly after, he died with disfigured face..
the victims all have coal mine dust in stomach instead of red candy in mouth in one missed call..so the coal mine is in taiwan, not japan..
the person who was predicted to die on the 3rd day of the call, accompanied by her boyfriend-narato, and a reporter arrives in taiwan..
They found the mine n set off to find entrance to get inside..
Well, all got in..at different times..
The person expected to die was trapped with her narato in a transmitter area..
narato tried hard to get his girlfriend out of the area..but failed..
his girlfriend remains in the compound while he was flunked out of the compound by the ghost..
then the phone rang its terrible tone..
she was destined to die in the transmitter compound..
but narato managed to get the handphone n picks it up..
the caller says..We will meet again..
And true enough, the gal was magically released and the guy was in the transmitter compound..together with the dreaded ghost..
The reporter realised she had died n killed her husband who also receives the dreaded missed call..
and she spits out the......
RED CANDY!
then the film ended..
Lasted about two hours..

Comments:
biazzare deaths, stupid scary sound effects..not very scary shadows..
scary ringtone..scary ghost..scary death pictures..

Rating: 3.5/5
It is indeed touching to know the ending is so twisted..with the guy dying in place of the gal..
However, the other cheap scares aren't really scary..At least i didn't..er..scream..??!
Watchable but better to invest in other up-coming movies like The island, Willy Wonka, Bug me not..etc...
