Merv and I did a double yesterday - we watched Monsters vs Aliens (in 3D) and Terminator Salvation.

Monsters vs Aliens
It was my first time watching a movie in 3D and I must say that it was an interesting experience. Merv of course, had been really enthusiastic about it for days (“We’re going to watch MvA in 3D!!!!!!!!!” - cue for me to roll eyes lol.) Tickets cost RM15 each (RM5 more than the usual price). I confess that I was expecting something like the cheapo flat 3D glasses you get out of cereal boxes - I had a pair once :D - but not so! What we got was a pair of canggih looking Dolby 3D glasses that look like this:

So I did a bit of googling (what would we do without google??) and found out that there are multiple coatings on each lens to filter out particular frequencies of light; and each lens lets through only a particular set, different for each eye. They cost quite a bit too, which is probably why we had to return them after the movie (Merv was so disappointed - he wanted to keep them!)

Terminator Salvation
As for Terminator - it was ok lah. Entertaining throughout, but I’ve never been a big fan of the Terminator movies anyway. I did particularly enjoy the part where a certain CGI-ed character put in a cameo :D And the robots were cool! Check out the moto-terminators!

Star Trek
And while we’re on the subject of movies… I thought that Star Trek was AWESOME!! And 70% of the reason it is so AWESOME (for me, that is :P) is the new Mr Spock :D I was never drawn to Zachary Quinto in his role as Sylar in Heroes (never even got round to watching Season 2 haha)… but as Spock… oh my! Be still, my heart…

Isn’t he a hunk? Siighhh….

Online. That’s how we met :)

When I tell people that Merv and I met online, I usually get a “Really ah??!” followed by a wah-you-so-brave/stupid/desperate-find-bf-online-you-know-he-could-have-turned-out-to-be-an-axemurderer/stalker/physco?? wide-eyed look. [And I haven’t even told you the name of the ultra-cina ahlian ahbeng site that we met on! lol. Not that I’m going to, mind. You can keep guessing :P]

You see, what they fail to grasp is that we INITIALLY met online. A week after we virtually met, we met in person. For coffee. At starbucks. For 2 hrs. And I was home by 11pm. heh. Now tell me how different is that compared to if you bump into someone u don’t know at a party/gathering/the library/etc.??

Anyway, a week after THAT, we went on an official “date”. Went to the beach. Had a drink. Dinner. Watched a movie. Held hands. :)

1 yr, 2 mths and 21 days after that - we’re engaged! :D

Lol. We still haven’t gotten down to seriously planning the thing yet, but I knew that when he popped the question I wanted to say yes. And say yes i did *beam*

I still owe u a story on how he popped the question, I know. I’ll get onto that soon, I promise. Plenty of laughs there haha :D

Yeah, yeah, i know… stale news :P But work’s been kinda crazy lately (plus i’ve been super lazy to post as well).

We havent set the date yet though, but it will prolly be next year, sometime after June. One thing’s for sure though - we’ll be DIY-ing it as much as we can! So stay tuned for updates on our journey as we wade our way through this wedding! :D

Cheers!
