swam 23 laps today.. but ate a lot after that.. ba chor mee, durian puffs (super BLAND) and chicken lasagne..

TROY

TROY is quite good though a bit too long (about 2.5 hrs)... a bit bored in the middle.. There are some repetitive scenes/actions that i think are redundant. Though Brad Pitt is the main lead Achilles, but I tot Eric Bana is outstanding as the upright and tragic Hector. Forget the Hulk, he's more manly and pitiful in Troy. Sean Bean (Boromir in LOTR) steals scenes as the smart Odysseus. Orlando Bloom doesn't get much screen time as Paris. And Hector's son, damn cute. Overall a bit different from Homer's Iliad especially the ending part but the main plot is still the same. Makes mi interested in Greek Mythology again.
