Sex & The City 2 rawkxx!

15 June 2010

Something free, something tasty, something happy and it really made my day~ even cancelled out a dash of annoyance in between.. Well, what am i talking about you say? The something free was this:

Free tix to watch Sex and the City 2 at GSC Mid Valley!!! Whee~~ and i got to watch it 2 days before it was due to start showing in Malaysia as well, all thanks to the tiny little obscure coupon in The Star newspaper's Clove section :D (Thx mum for posting it to me, xoxo~)

Ticket redemption began at 8pm and the movie screening was at 9.30pm, so met birthday girl Lilian after work to go join the queue...

Was at this place two nights in a row.. teehee~

The queue was quite orderly at first, and we were considered at the front part of the queue.. but the stupid cinema employees started to try to move the queue further in, and in the confusion, many ppl at the back took the opportunity to squeeze to the front, and those at the front of the queue found themselves at the back instead, us included.. man was i pissed off.. luckily the b'day girl didnt mind..

Anyways, tat little bit of annoyance didnt stop us from successfully reddeming our tickets, and we ended upwith 2 tickets each cos we had 2 coupons.. I actually feel rather guilty abt tat.. but nobody asked us for them.. so we ended up with J7,8 and J13,14.. centre seats in the centre row, yippee! After that we were starving, so picked a place nearby for dinner, Kyung Joo Korean Restaurant~ :)

Ordered the set meal, 19.90 for Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap (mixed vege rice and with chicken in a stone bowl) which came with the works: Soup, banchan (re: Kimchi Haru post) and this giant mug of refillable tea... :D very worth it in my opinion~

Banchan!!

Yummy kimchi, vege, pancake, pickled cucumber, fishcake and mashed potato + coleslaw :)

Very very scrumptious Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap~

All mixed up and ready to be eaten :):):)

Dumplings~~ filling tastes like xiao long bao.. yums~

The set came with free dessert too!!

We had a great time there, mainly cos when we first went in, there werent many customers annd the waiters gave us plenty of attention, and we spent the time chatting away abt everything under the sun~

Taking a pic of her Birthday "Cake"~

hehehehe... custard & red bean mochi... next time gonna get one for myself to try :P

Suddenly noticed these funny tube things hanging from the ceiling, and i was thinking to myself that the decor was a little weird...

Rupanya its for the smoke coming from the BBQ.. Great, hate the smell that lingers on you after a BBQ meal!

All too soon, it was movie time! Loved our centre seats.. in the end, gave our J7 and J8 seats to other ppl :) I actually enjoyed the movie a lot even though its gotten some not so good reviews.. but what the heck, we were so entertained by it, in fact, we were laughing all the way..

I actually agree with many ppl out there that Sarah Jessica Parker isnt very pretty to look at.. (sometimes, from certain angles, she reminds me a little of the witch from snow white).. especially during the gay wedding scenes.. @.@~ in fact, adding in Carrie Bradshaw's behaviour during this movie, she definitely wasnt the protagonist for me...













I actually liked the cute clueless Charlotte and 'Fun in Abu Dhabi' Miranda a lot more.. hehhehe... I think everyone would love the scene where Charlotte and Miranda exchange mum stories and end up getting each other tipsy.. Kim Cattrall is also hilarious as age-defying Samantha Jones, with her hormone creams and yams and her wardrobe choices in the middle-east, hahahhaha.. Spiky, Killer shoulders anyone? re: pic below~


Anyways, a true girly movie through and through.. with topics like motherhood, menopause, female bonding etc.. and you get to see nice bags and shoes and baubles and some pretty ok clothes.. but there were sooo many old uncles in the coupon redemption queue.. weird.... (cos of the word Sex in the title??)

2 and a half hours of entertainment all for free!!! So glad i got to watch SATC 2 before the rest of Malaysia, hehehehehe~~~
