Dear Diary,
18.02.15
I only had three periods of school today (yay!) which means that I finished school at 12pm. THAT MEANS that I have the opportunity to run around and go out (jokes... once in a blue moon). I went with Thuy, Laura and Maria - we bought our $1 Large Frozen Cokes from McDonald's and quickly made our way to the movie theatres. We bought a large box of popcorn ($8.80 between the four of us & we didn't even finish it!)
Coincidentally, we ran into Steven and Tony in the movie theatres and we all happily watched the movie together.
Movie Review (Kingsman: The Secret Service):
I am no professional when it comes to writing reviews, so I'm going to keep this short, sweet and simple. Overall, it was a really good movie (thanks Rotten Tomatoes for heading me into the right direction). It had the perfect amount of seriousness, action and humour to keep you entertained. I'm no graphic designer or movie director, but as a viewer, the movie looked really low budget. The special effects (explosion, blood, etc.) looked incredibly fake. Now, don't get me wrong. I (and all of my friends agreed) said that they must've used their low-budget to their advantage, because the bad special effects made the movie incredibly funny. We all sat there laughing for 15 minutes straight. Ugh, I want to talk about the movie so badly, but I don't want to spoil it. The movie does provide some advice to viewers, like loyalty and teamwork. It has a few sexual references here and there (probably justifying the MA 15+), and a few unexpected scenes that have you sitting in your seat completely mind-blown. In fact, in some parts of the movies, I was covering my eyes with my hands and peaking through my fingers because it was just so intense. I don't particularly like action movies (sorry!) because I find them boring, but this action-comedy movie is definitely worth a shot! Super funny, and would definitely recommend! (I can't say enough good things about it!!)
Diary Ratings: 8/10 (It was pretty amazing, but I've seen better movies.)
Food Review (Hot Star Fried Chicken):
Man, I have a lot to say about this. I'm well aware that I'm super late in trying this out but anyways I bought a piece of fried chicken (spicy) for $8. I personally think you get enough bang for your buck (worth it). The piece of chicken is unbelievably big. It's called "Large Fried Chicken"... what was I expecting? I dropped by my workplace to share it with my friends because I was going to die if I finished the whole thing myself. Thuy and Maria have tried this place many times before (they've previously tried the Medium Spicy and the Extra Spicy) and yet they couldn't handle the spicy level this time round! STRANGE! I guess it really depends on how much chilli powder they shake onto your chicken, considering they could eat extra-spicy last time. They have different levels of spiciness for you to choose from, by the way. I would say I'm actually not that bad in handling spicy food, but I was literally dying. I was choking every 5 seconds and crying the whole way through. I know it sounds like an exaggeration, but I think I'm actually making the scene sound better than what it actually was. Thuy and Maria were cracking up so much the whole entire time while watching me eat (they were also crying because it was so chilli). I want to (or do i?) try out the Original next time. My other coworkers came by and I could barely say hi because my tongue, lips, and throat (basically whole mouth) felt like it was on fire. On the bright side though, the piece of chicken was very juicy and tender, and the coating was very crunchy. Fabulous fried chicken - perhaps I just didn't choose the right level of spiciness. Will not be paying a visit anytime soon because I'm still traumatised, but maybe in the far, far future, I want to give Hot Star a second chance.
Diary Ratings: 5/10 (due to it being too spicy... probably my fault though)
Overall, it was a good day, even though I'm still trying to recover from my food coma. I feel like this is the perfect time to roll into bed, snuggle with my blanket and go into deep sleep. Unfortunately, I have overdue English homework I still need to complete and submit! So sleep will have to wait...
Love,
The Miss Diaries.
