Christmas Eve Square
Had a very enjoyable Christmas Eve Eve. Also, 'ran into' 周潤發 twice.
Tennis in the morning, good weather. Lucky that I was not driving - found out later from the news that there was an accident that caused severe traffic jam at Lion Rock Tunnel in the morning.
Went to grab something from CitySuper before lunch. Ran into 周潤發 the first time when I was leaving. He looked the typical he - seemingly alone, he's wearing a cap, a little beard, carrying shopping bags in both hands, walking leisurely and peacefully.
Had a good and portion-just-right sushi lunch at Ocean Terminal. 蟹膏sushi was a surprise. We were also lucky to arrive before the crowd. There was a much longer queue after we agreed to be seated at order table. I think we just waited for less than 15min.
Ran to Haagen-Dazs to order a cake before movie. Didn't take long to make the decision given limited choice of those ready-to-go. At last w and myself picked a Christmas log cake, which is 'seasonal' (only available during this time of the year), and made with the rich and dense Belgian Chocolate ice cream.
Watched the Curse of the Golden Flower. hehe, this was my then 2nd encounter with 周潤發. I feel generally good for watching it . You don't have to use much brain power (which you will see very important to be reserved for the challenging dinner afterwards) given the straight-forwardness of the story but your heart. It has a lot of reflection about love, hatred, power, relationships, and of course grand and aweful scenes. Gong Li is absolutely the star, leading throughout the film. Frankly, while everybody who hasn't watched the film asked about her breasts, I paid no particular attention to them - I didn't find them awkward that worth mentioning.
At night, there was the spectacular hotpot grandprix at TigerPalace - definitely deserve separate posting(s) - coming soon...
