Mojo Jojo

Background info: Mojo Jojo is arguably the most evil character in the Powerpuff Girls cartoon. He is basically a chimpanzee with an oversized brain with the intelligence to match. The name came to mind as Xin Hao has a CUTE picture of Mojo Jojo on his Friendster home page.

There are so many friends whom I have not met in a long time and really want to meet, to chat and catch up on what we missed out on each other’s life. Unfortunately, I’m surviving on a pretty tight budget these days…hiaz… Still, I managed to meet up with Xin Hao on Sunday.
The last time we met was when we went back to school to get our ‘A’ levels results. That was close to three years ago.

I initiated the meeting, and we arranged to meet at AMK, where he suggested we have dinner at Botak Jones. I thought the stall is located in one of the two S-11s in AMK, but the stall could not be located in either of them. Has it shifted? Anyway, there was supposed to be a third S-11 (which was originally A&W). We tried there too, only to realise that it has been replaced by Banquet. We were starting to sweat after the little walk, and decided to settle for the air-conditioned food court.

Over dinner (my mutton briyani wasn’t very nice – the meat was tough), he mentioned that he was ‘forced’ to watch Saw III on Friday by Jian Yu and some other people during their outing. Funny how he rejected the idea of us watching that show yet he still ended up watching it. Anyway, they thought the show was downright gross, and they left the theatre after around 45mins. Like Chor Liang and friends, they were a little confused about the plot of the movie – which was pretty much non-existent as the main storyline has been covered in the first show of the series. Moral of the story: Do not watch the third show in a trilogy if you missed the first two. I learnt two other things from his experience: 1. There are a lot of mosquitoes in Prince cinema, and (I already know this) the seats are old and dirty. 2. The people responsible for checking tickets there, disappears after 15mins of the commencement of the movie. As such, moviegoers are able to sneak into other theatres to catch other shows (which they did).

After dinner, we played an hour plus of pool. Saw someone who looks like Wen Zhao – wonder how he’s doing. I’m really weak at the game, and while he was not very strong, I mis-hit enough for him to win 6-2 (I think. May be worse). I did managed to get in a couple of good shots though... Despite the trashing, I had a pretty good time. Hope it will not take three years before we meet again.
