Special after-dark Hippo Tour with Radio 100.3 and Radio 91.3 deejays (31 Mar)

Received the invitation to the Special after-dark Hippo Tour with Radio 100.3 and Radio 91.3 deejays (31 Mar). Received the sms to meet up at 6.30 ~ 6.45pm at the National Museum as bus will leave at 7pm.

7pm: No bus. Ask the security at the museum if the meeting place is correct. Oh man got the reply that there is no such event. Finally after much confusion, the bus arrived, found the event planner and able to leave at about 7.30pm.
We ended up in the Radio 100.3 bus. Way to start our journey. Yeah!

Fire of Conscious (火龙) Movie Preview

Details on the preview screening:
Date: 29 Mar, 2010 (Mon)
Time: 7.15pm
Venue: Lido 2 (Level 5, Shaw House)
Rating: NC16

Yeah!!! Won the tickets to the preview. Lucky got check email. Late afternoon then received it.
Heavy rain, jam along the way to Orchard. Finally made it a bit after 7pm. Oops! Saw someone been turned away at the door 'cos below the age. The boy looked like primary school student.

The movie started in black & white and in still mode. Very unique. Suddenly it came to life in colours with people running all over. Leon Lai is a cop who becomes down and turned to living in a MPV after his wife is killed. He keeps a shaver with him so that he can shave guys' heads when he suspects they are his wife's killer. Weird man. Due to his hard ways with suspects, he always get complaints.

Richie Ren on the other side is the poster boy of the police force. Up 2 ranks in 2 years. On the way to the top job, except for until he got an ex-hooker for girlfriend. On the surface he is successful but behind he has big loans issues. He got himself transferred to Leon's department in order to cover his affair. He hooked up with gunmen to steal the police's drugs that are on the way to be destroyed.

Richie looks like a uncle having a bad hair perm. Especially when the camera zooms in, you can see the pores on his face. Wah lau. There are a lot of heavy shooting and bombing in the movie. The sad scenes really touches one's heart like the part the girl locks in a cage by the mother's boyfriend, the cop who lost his eye and arm in the restaurant's shootout and the poor guy who stand in the middle of the road, carrying bombs(looks like a scene out of Final Destination). Worth a watch.
