Guess that me and my dear really took advantage of the Chinese New Year break to slack and enjoy ourselves. We watched four movies in total (Thor, Green Lantern, A Happy Event and X-men: First Class), had two reunion dinners and visited the Sentosa Flowers at Sentosa (naturally).
I shall only mention about A Happy Event as the rest had been released some time ago, out of which, I felt that the Green Lantern was the best, even though it was absurd that the protector need to charge the ring. Imagine running out of juice when the fight was at the climax. Anyway, A Happy Event was a movie about pregnancy and whatever that comes with it. It started off quite cute with the male and female lead flirting using movie titles and eventually getting together. Most fairy tales happily ended here but the journey continued with the pregnancy and the delivery of the baby, to which the movie explored the female lead's emotional and sexual deprivation as a result of taking care of the baby. When her tolerance wore thin, the female lead decided to take a break to think about things and split up with the male lead. Eventually, it was implicitly mentioned that they got back together and they were going to have a second child.
I would say the movie was interesting and probably enlightening as it brought insights regarding pregnancy and its "side effects". This was also what we came for in the first place.
Anyway, we later proceeded to Sentosa Flowers. But prior to that, we had our meal at Carl's Jr, where we discovered to our horror that adverse effects of inflation on the chicken burger. Though the fries were great, but the burger was simply unworthy of its price. For compensation, we refilled another cup of lemon tea. It was also interesting to notice that it started raining when we stepped onto the boardwalk and it stopped when we reached the end (the return journey was coincidentally the same). Probably because of the rain, it was rather humid and sticky during the stroll through the flowers.
