Played mahjong yesterday at Kay Hwee's, where Ka Tsai was the big winner, as usual. If we actually paid the money we owed each other, he'd probably be buying us lunch/dinner after every session of mahjong. I like bumming outside, and yesterday was the closest I came to doing that in a long while. I think I will restrict my job search to part-time stuff, like the place Sam's working at (which apparently has vacancies so I need to prepare a résumé soon). What's the point in earning money if you don't have time to spend at least some of it? Didn't do much today, other than downloading songs by M. Pokora (who sounds a bit like a French Justin Timberlake, although the general online consensus is that he's not as good, but I personally don't really like Justin Timberlake actually) and Télépopmusik. I also watched Jumper online. Was supposed to go to the cinema with Audrey, but I managed to get the movie streaming online from some Chinese website, so we saved a few bucks. A good thing too, because I agree with all those people who said that Jumper sucked. If you ask me, it's little more than a vehicle to showcase Hayden Christiansen's sex appeal. Ironically, he wasn't the original actor cast in the role of David. That was the relatively unknown Tom Sturridge, who according to Wikipedia, has appeared in Being Julia and Vanity Fair, among other films. The studio wasn't confident of spending money on the movie with Sturridge in the lead role, so they brought in Christiansen. Fair enough, since he and Rachel Bilson are the eye candies that redeem what's otherwise a hopelessly weak opening of what's supposed to be a film trilogy. Christiansen is slated to appear in the film adaptation of William Gibson's Neuromancer, so hopefully that film isn't totally ruined because I happen to love that book.
