Law By Law

Met up with "S" to watch Just Follow Law. Since the show starts at 9.40pm we went for dinner at HOGSBREATH (C.H.I.J.M.E.S). I must say that the steaks there are really nice. Although they dun come cheap. Just the steak set alone costs $32. Too bad there wasn't any 10% for UOB cardholders as it's a public holiday (dunno if it's due to CNY or it applies to all public holidays).

So after the meal we walked to marina square for the show. Since we still have time. "S" went to get a jar of honey at a shop which specialises in selling honey. While he was getting honey I saw a fellow officer of mine and we had a short chat n apparently he was also going for ICT in july with me. Woo singapore's really small eh. He wasn't supposed to be in the same unit as me but i think he sway la. No choice kena "hand picked" like me (reason can't say on grounds that it involves national security :) ).

OK, On with the show. Commercial started 20min after starting time (yes, it's GV as u would've guessed). Pretty OK show in all has a bit of political satire, comedy, lots of product placement - no need to guess who are the sponsors. It really reminds me of my NS days where we shoot arrow here n there. It's also has a good demonstration of the No U-Turn Syndrome (NUTS) . However, the content seems to be rather subdued (believed the show was called Law By Law)as compared to other shows by Jack Neo. It's not in the acting but the script - fann wong did a very good job in acting. I noted that the screenplay was written by different people as compared to "I Not Stupid", "Money No Enough". You can feel the story behind but the feeling wasn't properly brought out through the parts of the conversation by fann when it was made in english - it's just not singlish enough. I believed there was a communication breakdown between the writers of the story n the screenplay. The ending was also no properly done.

To wrap things up, it was enjoyable but the impact wasn't there as I can't remember much about the show considering the fact that I just finished it 1.5Hrs ago.
