grill'd & POTC4

posted by donna. , on , No Comments
YAY finally saw anita for the first time since my birthday <3
also, got to use my new umbrella for the first time :P
(even though it was raining sideways so the umbrella didn't help that much xD)

we went to grill'd for dinner
it was their first birthday and we got a buy-one-get-one-free deal for saying happy birthday to the cashier (which i did in a super exuberant fashion)
the decor was all fancy with balloons and they had a guy singing acoustic covers, which was awesome.

 

it's moments like when anita sneaks up to a table and steals a huge-ass balloon - for us to take photos with - that really hammer in the fact that we're related <3



 

i ordered the baa-baa burger, anita ordered the 'simon says' chicken burger
and we shared the chips
the chips were so. good. SOOOOOOOO. GOOOOOOOOD. 
the baa-baa burger was much better than the chicken burger, but not as good as the time me and twin deliberately drove all the way to newcastle for it...
but still really good.
(and also, cheap on this occasion)
as you can see, we also got free cupcakes. so cute~
(even though the frosting was weird, it tasted like...strawberry oak milk)





 

after dinner, we trundled over to events cinemas to watch POTC4

pirates of the caribbean 4: on stranger tides
mini mini lazy review
  • there was a super lolsy moment right at the beginning where there's like a dead guy laying there, and me and anita both knew that he'd pop up. and yet, we both managed to get scared. lol. i will never learn. 
  • the movie itself was slow to begin but really picked up towards the middle
  • the mermaids were awesome 
  • the plot was pretty much all over the place
  • i actually really enjoyed the 3d effects in this one, it was subtle and used very very well. 
  • i also quite liked most of the new characters. and didn't feel that there was a orlando&kerira sized hole missing or anything...
  • aside from that, not much to say. 
  • it was better than the last one, but no where near as good as the first. 
  • i guess there's only so many ways you can reinvent a pirate's search for treasure. 
  • even the music, which i usually adore, felt really repetitive.
  • also, most lolsy ending ever. me and anita looked at each other in disbelief. so so random.
  • that being said, it was still fun.
by the time i went to catch my bus, the qvb was completely empty
