It's "Choo Char" & Richard Gere !

Sunday, 19 August 2007 ... went to Pulau Tikus market in the morning with Nanthini to buy supplies for our dinner. Came back home and started our cooking in our respective homes.

Pick-up Voon Choong from work at about 5pm, off to "7th Street" market to buy some of the supplies that we have missed out in the morning. Went to Nanthini's house to pick her up and also her delicious Green Curry Chicken.

Arrived back at Dennis and Voon Choong's apartment. Started cooking the balance of the food .... menu for that night was Green Curry Chicken, Black Soya Sauce Pork, Prawn Fritters, Fried Siput, Boiled Cockles Meat, Acar Awak, Seo Bak and Tofu in Salted Fish Soup. Dennis came back from work at approximately 7.45pm and by 8.00pm, we were all seated for dinner.

After a hearty dinner, we all sat down to watch Unfaithful by Richard Gere and Diane Lane. The story is about Edward and Connie Sumner who are a wonderfully maintained middle-aged couple living the American dream. Together with their eight year-old son, a dog and a housekeeper, they share an enviable life in the suburbs of New York City. But no life goes unchallenged: This happy marriage, dampened by the routines of affluence, falls prey to an outsider when Connie has a fateful collision with a stranger on a Soho street. It's an encounter which assaults her with mystery, spontaneity, charm and risk. It will pull Connie into an affair which will become her obsession. When Edward innocently learns that his wife has lied to him, suspicion propels him to to uncover the devastating details of her infidelity. Tormented by the knowledge, he confronts her lover, only to discover a level of rage within himself that he could never have imagined.

Well, after Unfaithful, being wide awake, we all continued with another movie by Richard Gere .... Pretty Woman .... the actress is none other than Julia Roberts. The story began with a self-involved corporate raider Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) who has recently split up with his girlfriend. Seeking directions to the Beverly Hills Hotel, he makes the acquaintance of free-spirited hooker Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) and decides to put her on a 3,000-dollar retainer as his "date." He Cinderellarizes her by bankrolling a full wardrobe and cosmetic makeover.
