"why make something disposable like a building when you can make something that last forever, like a greeting card"

Watched (500) days of summer twice this week. All I can say is "It was gooood~~" Do emphasis on the good.
This has an out-of-the-box plot and it is very enjoyable. I like how this isn't the carbon copy of romance movies out there where there's a 'happily ever after' between the 2 main leads. However, I can't help it but to wish that they can be together.
I especially love the chemistry between Zooey Deschanel (Summer) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Tom). She's beautiful and the guy is good-looking. I love the soundtrack too.
The first time was on Monday with a friend at Cathay. The whole cinema was almost full which came as a surprise because it was a weekday and a school day. So, you can imagine there were many students in their school attire there.
After watching the movie, we went shopping. Well, my friend shopped, I accompanied her. It's been a long time since I went out shopping with a friend. Everyone including me is bust with their own stuff and lives.
The second time was with cousin and brothers on Wednesday at GVMax. I love GVMax! The seats are big with extra leg room, the screen is the biggest yet. My cousin was on holidays before the O levels, my brother had finished his exams and the other brother hasn't had exams yet. As such, we decided to catch the movie.
We left house at 3.15pm and the movie was at 4.25pm. I underestimated the travel time and rushed the whole way there while cursing. To add fuel to the fire, there was a snaking queue at the ticket counters with lots of teenagers. The time was already 4.45 when I bought the tickets. My cousin also reached in time when I bought them.
I should have just bought tickets online, afterall there was no student price available anyway. What a cold shower for me...
Rushed in to only find the advertisements and trailers were running. Phew! What a relief! It was like rushing for Twilight the movie. But, that's another tale for another day.
Second time was as refreshing and enjoyable as the first time. Explained some jokes to my cousin at the midst of the movie. There are many jokes one will get it if you understand.
Ate at Burger King and had Ben's and jerry's ice-cream for dessert. My uncle came and he dropped us off at Newton MRT station where we headed home.
So, there are a few choice swear words, but who's counting them? It's a PG film, for goodness sake.
"How was your weekend?" "It was gooood".
"Roses are red, violets are blue. F*** you, w****."
"She took a giant s*** on my face. Literally."
"Literally?"
"Well, no, not literally. That's disgusting!"
"No Paul. No jobs. I'm still unemployed. We just kissed."
