Christmas Carolling The Scrooge Way...27th November 2009

The 5 of us went to watch A Christmas Carol at GSC Gurney Plaza. Gary was in the Christmass mood. He bought a brand new Christmas Tree with ornaments and lights. He's excited about this year's Christmass alright...
Oh ya, the 5 of us are Leaf, Hong Kai, Gary, CK & Myself. Oooh, oooh! Before movie, we went to James' Western Food at Fettes Park for dinner. Great great food.

After watching A Christmas Carol, his Christmas Mood doubled. LOL! Here's what I think of the movie...

The story is the same as other Scrooge story except its a little bit darker. The story revolves around Ezebener Scrooge who's grew up quite comfortably except he was a lonely kid growing up. Throughout his life, all he cares about is not to live in poverty. His wife even left him because of his stingy ways. One Christmas Eve, the only friend and his business partner, Marley passed away. He hated Christmas eversince. Everybody knows Scrooge at the mention of his name. He dislike kids, he's stingy and he's against any festivities. He don't even give his worker a day off on Christmas Day. Fast forward 7 Christmas Eves later...
One night, the spirit of his deceased friend came to him and warned him that he will be visited by 3 spirits by the end of the night...
Scrooge as usual, brush it off...
All I can say is he was visited by The Ghost of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas Present & The Ghost of Christmas Future.

To me, the movie is just okayyy because you get this kind of movie every year before Christmas. This time, the story of a stingy oldman who's visited by 3 spirits is just a little darker, thats all. For example, previously The Ghost of Christmas Future was portrayed by a spirit of an Angel or a lady. The people in A Christmas Carol decides to go darker I guess by making The Ghost of Christmas Future looked like The Reaper. Covered in black robe and skeleton like features.

I fell asleep halfway through the movie. Hahaha, sorry guys. LOL! I guess I'm not feeling the Christmas mood yet. It will come...
