Celebrations

Yesterday was Ang Jiawei's 22nd birthday! We celebrated with lots of food and merrymaking in general. The itinerary started off with a superb lunch at Prego (treated by Jiawei, thanks a lot bro!), followed by Eat Pray Love, and ending off with dinner at 15 Minutes at Laselle College of the Arts.

Large Cream of Mushroom Soup @ Prego - delicious!
Eat Pray Love was a tad draggy - most of the part I felt the lead actress, played by Julia Roberts (those who grew up with her - yes, she is basically talking about mid-life crisis in this show, time flies!), should just grow up and stop whining about her life (then I remembered, hey, that's the whole point of this movie). But as the plot developed in the later parts of the show, the message became clearer and it was rather meaningful; love, inner peace, God. I was moved by a non-centric part of the movie - when the father and the son had a tearful farewell (sorry, spoilers!) and it reminded me of the lack my own relationship had, and how I should strive to attain this type of father-son bond in the future. But enough of me. As a whole, the message at the end redeemed this show, quite barely. For 2 and a half hours of whining, I'd say... obtain this show when it comes out in a... let's say, cheaper place.
