The Substitute
For the longest time, I did not need to work Saturdays. But last week, I was called into office by my boss. It was a meeting of bosses, and I was only there as insurance for my boss in case there are things he can't answer. Overall, it was a boring affair and I wasn't needed. And so, after hours of seeing bosses duke it out and practicing tai-chi, I went home. It was a total loss though. I got a lunch of abalone porridge and a cup of Starbie for my troubles. Upon arriving home, I went out again for a movie. I initially wanted to bring mum to watch 2012 but she heard that it was boring, so went to watch Mulan at IOI Mall instead. Not a bad movie really. A straight forward storyline of a woman who manages to break the glass ceiling in the Wei Dynasty military. But I guess is doesn't really count since she was in the guise of a man. You get lots of war scenes, a love story and buckets of tears. Nearly every scene has her or someone else crying and shedding tears. And Jaycee Chan's in it too. Annoying. And here's another bit of trivia-- there's an ang moh in it-- Vitas, a Russian pop singer. Really random. But he doesn't sing in the movie... Cheh. Update: SK suspects he's the Ruoran Danyu's boy toy!!! LOL. Go watch it la. Not many people seem to know of the movie's existence!

We entertained ourself claiming how Hua Mulan would become Long Mulan Jiangxi and, yes, that Vitas was the toyboy to both elder and younger Rouran :p

@L2:
"I you love me, watch it with me..."
@TZ:
Yes, I saw. When the bosses speak to each other, one can feel all the "bones" in it. My GM commented, "William, you're also here ah?!".
I did not watch the Disney version.
@Beng:
Yeah, I think he can watch it, provided he's OK with some scenes of violence.
and vitas didn't sing? darn. xD and what is a russian doing in a Mulan movie??? lol
Oh, the Disney version is nice. I like it! =)
