TERM 1 WEEK 3 Journal .

It started off a day with propitious. I was meeting Min Min,Dayang,Edward,Mayer and regina for a movie,"cloverfield" and a buffet dinner. But at the very last moment i was importuned by my mother to babysit my sister and friends as there was no one else who was free, so i was only able to make it for the night movie.

Just a brief introduction to the movie "Cloverfield". Its about a man named Rob and his friends who went braving all dangers just to save Rob's lover,Beth even though their city was being attacked by a terrible creature who was capable of demolishing buildings and it even tore off the statue of liberty's head.The movie was filmed that in a video cam whereby it become our eyes and ears.I think that Rob's actions actually jeaopardized his friends as they were suppose to escape to another city before ttheir city was bombed.

My favourite part of the movie was when they were in a subterranean tunnel and it was pitch dark, when they suddenly hear weird noises.It left us in suspence as we couldnt see what was actually there, then Rob suggested that his friend used the night vision on the camera to see what was there when they suddenly got attacked by the weird creatures.It is incontrovertible that the movie was exciting but it caused the audience to be nauseous which wasn't what was expected.

After the movie, we all went around to take pictures around the esplanade and Fullerton hotel.On the overall even though i missed out on the dinner, i really enjoyed myself.

I was in charge of getting the cake from the bakery while my sister and brother decorated the house while my father brought my mother out to distract her.Everything was messy and i expected it to be a fiasco .My neighbour saw me leaving my house in a rush asked me if anything was wrong and after explaining the situation i was in he offered to help me retrieve the cake.

After several hours, everything was done meticulously and we were awaiting the return of our mother. On the table was a tiramisu cake, my mother's favourite, lighted with candles and laid beside them were all the presents. Upon hearing the sounds of the door opening, i gesticulated everyone who quickly ran to the door and screamed suprised upon sight of my very suprised mother.
