Dog chasing...

Went to meet my fren Francis yesterday to play with his Jack Russell. Ever since I saw Milo in "The Mask" in 1994, I told myself I must get one for myself when I can afford it. So yesterday was like a trial run for me which turned out disastrous. :( My fren left me with his dog at the park and everything was well and good at first...although the dog seemed abit afraid of me and kept trying to bite off the leash ferociously....

Yeah, thats her...trying to bite the leash...Totally convinced that she was not going to break loose, I let her do all the biting she wants...then to my horror...after some twist and turn...the leash around her neck came loose...omg. All hell broke loose then. I didnt know how to react and she kept running..All I could do was follow her...She freaked the hell out of me when she dashed across the road with onlookers looking shocked at how bad a dog owner I am. After what seemed like forever, my fren finally found us and put the leash back on her...phew! I thought I gonna get his dog lost or worse killed. No more dogs for me...All of a sudden I feel cats are better...haha.

The rest of the day went abit better..I watched two movies, Secret and Ratatouille. Both amazing movies in my opinion. Secret was way better than what I expected. Some people just have all the talent. The part where Jay was challenging his senior was unbelieveable. His piano skill is just ...chao diao! I like the twist at the end and how the love story played out. It was sweet innocent love at its best. This is the best Jay chou movie so far..Initial D was too much hype but not fantastic..Curse of the golden flower was just...mediocre. Not bad for a first time directorial effort.

Ratatouille is a fantastic comeback for Pixar after last year flop - Cars. The thing that separates Pixar animated films and others is heart. Other studios often churn out crappy animated films with cute characters doing silly things but without much of a plot. Ratatouille, showed once again that Pixar still is the King of animation. With scenes of Paris so beautiful and realistic it makes me feel right there with Remy..the rat. Besides the movie obvious message 'anyone can cook!", its also about Remy self discovery....about having courage to try new things and be true to oneself. Rats have never been so adorable...the finale sequence was totally hilarious.

Two great films in one day..what a wonderful saturday it was.
