14 Blades 锦衣卫

I am so tired; I can sit in front of the com and fall right into sleep now.
This morning, at an unearthly timing of 2.30am, I found myself at HSS building doing night watch duty.
My duty: Sit around and look after the tables and chairs. WTH?!
Any person with at least a single working brain cell can think of better and more efficient way than to plant people around an empty square to look after foldable tables and plastic chairs. Heard of a storeroom, anyone? They’ve effectively wasted precious (sleeping) time of many students. I can only shake my head in disbelief when I heard that I have to go for night watch duty from 230 to 530 am to look after the ‘booths’.
But I left duty earlier at 5am, because I have a VISA interview at 7am. Tricia and I rushed and waited for the first bus to get ourselves out of this secluded area called NTU. But the bus came only at 6.25am. We boarded the train and reached Clementi at 6.55am. How can we get to Novena by 7.15am? We took a cab. A total waste of money. Interview at the US embassy was quite fast. The guy just asked me a few questions and it was approved. Yay! USA, I’m coming in May!

Then, Tricia and I met Dewi and we went to watch 14 Blades. I fell asleep the very moment I sat down in the cinema. I think I missed out quite a bit of the movie and Tricia kept nudging me in attempt to wake me. I can’t even keep my eyelids open; it was seriously involuntary closure of the lids. Then, she nudged me again real hard, and I popped open my eyes in shock and saw this handsome figure on the movie screen. WU CHUN! Goodness! He looks so dashing and charismatic. His character looks a bit like Captain Jack Sparrow of the Pirates of the Carribbean, super cool and hawt. HAHA! Donnie Yen is quite cool too. Qi Yu Wu’s character is okay la. Vicki Zhao looks really old. Kate Tsui’s character just makes me hate her even more than before. Overall, I think Wu Chun’s character left the most impression on me. Partly because he is extremely handsome and drop-dead gorgeous, another is because he plays a bandit who has a righteous heart, the kind of characters which everyone likes. Too bad his character died, all thanks to Kate Tsui’s character. BLEH.
This movie is of okay standards, not a blockbuster and not anything near Donnie Yen's awesome portrayal of Ip Man. The movie movie hovers round a few characters only, and the storyline lacks. One may leave the cinema not understanding the gist of the show. But all is compensated with Wu Chun! Haha.




HAHA! I deliberately put up pictures of Wu Chun only. Handsome man!
Tricia, share with me leh. HAHA.
