Marley & Me
 Today, as planned, I met up with Fareena, Farah & Salwah (in the evening) to watch a movie together. We had a tough time choosing which movie to watch but eventually, everyone mutually agreed on "Marley & Me". I thought, it wouldn't be great and probably boring but I decided to just give it a go. Who knows it will turn out otherwise, no? Haha. And boy, it sure did! ;)
Here's the snynopsis:
"As the snow falls on their wedding night, newlyweds John and Jenny Grogan (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston) decide to leave behind the harsh winters of Michigan and head south to begin their new lives in West Palm Beach, Florida. They obtain jobs as journalists at competing local newspapers, buy their first home, and begin to make their way through the challenges of a new marriage, new careers and, possibly, the life-changing decision to start a family.
Unsure of his preparedness for raising children, John confesses his fears to his friend and fellow journalist Sebastian, who comes up with the perfect solution: John should get Jenny a puppy. "There's nothing to it," says Sebastian. "You walk 'em. You feed 'em, you let 'em out now and then."
Then came Marley.
The Grogans adopt the cute, twelve pound yellow Labrador, who in no time at all, grows into a 100-pound steamroller of unbridled energy that turns the Grogan home into a disaster area. He flunks obedience school, chews off dry-wall, takes a bite out of the sofa, overturns garbage cans, steals a Thanksgiving turkey, consumes pillows and flowers, drinks toilet water, and chases the UPS guy. Even a newly-purchased, expensive necklace isn't safe from Marley's voracious antics.
Amidst the mayhem he generates through the years, Marley sees the Grogans through the ups and downs of family life, through job and home changes, and most of all, through the myriad challenges of a growing family. As John and Jenny come to realize, Marley—"the world's worst dog"—somehow brings out the best in them."
Oh my goodness. This have got to be the best movie of year! It's extremely realistic and touching! A lovely tearjerker (excessively sentimental) movie just fit for everyone. Know what? I can't resist having tears in my eyes at the end of the movie! Haha. Mind U, this rarely happen to me when I watch movie, ok. "Marley & Me" must be something special. I feel like I can relate to it. Hehe. :) So yeah, go watch the movie to know what I mean, aite? :D
After movie, we decided to chill out at The Coffee Bean Paragon for a while before heading home. It's funny how we all chose to drink Snapple/Esprit instead of the usual ice blended. I reckon, it's all about saving some bucks! Haha. Hmm... after some time of sitting around, I started to take out my camera and snapped some pictures, like always. Hehehe... Here's the (best) result:
 P/S: Thank U so much gals for the lovely evening/night! Would love to watch a movie together, again! :D
Regards,
