Chinese New Year 2008 (Part 1)


Went out with zen on tuesday to watch Sweeney Todd.... pretty sadist movie! LOL.... but the musical was nice and i really enjoyed the way they acted and present themselves..wow....i am one more step towards being more appreciative of the arts... Though not much of the storyline.... but u really enjoy this form of art! LOL... pretty sadist movie...the barber goes on a killing strike and kills his customers on the 2nd floor and den sends the bodies to be made into pies to serve to customers on the 1st floor.... bloody movie indeed....
