EVENING SESSION
AEESSUI MOVIE NIGHT
We watched a movie titled Project X
A very interesting movie about three friends who wants to feel among. One of them, Thomas, held a birthday party with the help of Costa and JB. And the party turned out to be a riot. He got his parents house burnt down, lot of damages. I think they actually fulfilled their mission.
We were given snacks and drinks as we watched the movie.
What a interesting movie, what a nice day.
Today was great! No doubt
Thanks for reading ❤️🙏
