Tasks and Movie

Went to service my van for 10,000 mileage early in the morning and went to a couple of places while waiting to collect my vehicle. Went to a bank to deposit some money, went to Automobile Association of Singapore near Redhill Mrt to get my international driving license, and went to Bugis to get my international student card. The timing was just nice and i got back to Alexandra Road to collect my van at 11.45 am.

Had a good nap in the afternoon and went to watch Waitress with Derrick at night. Waitress is a comedy-drama about Jenna, a waitress at Joe's Diner, who is pregnant and frustrated with her marriage. Her husband is possessive and a control freak, resulting in Jenna's estrangement and nonchalance towards her pregnancy. She makes incredibly wonderful pies as well and her quirky colleagues and some of her loyal customers prevent her life from becoming a wreck.

This film is sincere and brilliantly acted by the wonderful cast. Keri Russell is superb in her role as the unhappy woman who secretly plans for means to leave her domineering husband. Cheryl Hines and Adrienne Shelly are hilarious as her talkative fellow waitresses while Jeremy Sisto does a fine job in portraying the jealous and immature husband.

The character development is good and we empathize with Jenna's situation and the miserable life that she is having. This show has wonderful screenplay and witty dialogue as well. It is humourous but also with a lot of heart.
